Sal's Authentic NY Pizza - Frankton — Restaurant in South Island

I'm from New York City. As a true born and raised New Yorker, I can tell you that this pizza is the closest you'll find to the real thing in NZ, and by far the best in the country — I would know. Every time a person from NY eats a slice of pizza, we critique it. We can't help ourselves. It's a subject near and dear to our hearts. It's in our culture, in our blood, in our Italian heritage. That being said, we know when we're getting the real thing. We also know if something's been frozen, isn't fresh or just isn't right. Thankfully, Sal's does pizza well. The crust, the cheese, the sauce, all taste like home. And trust me, I would be the first to tell you if they didn't. I'd put it on par with any average, common NYC pizzeria. Try my favorite, the Manhattan, with pepperoni and mushrooms. My only criticism is that the garlic knots could use a little work. The consistency just isn't right, and they need more garlic. Sal's continues to deliver a quality, consistent product across all of its stores — I've visited the ones in Frankton, Queenstown, Pukekohe, and Mt. Wellington. I'll always stop at Sal's if I see one. It makes the experience of living so far from home just a bit...

Recently, Been there for the first time. I wanted to try sal's Authentic pizza n got opportunity to visit. I thought before buying a whole pizza I should try some slices first. Pizza slices wasn't looking very fresh,Even then I ordered them n I was right. Pizza slices were not fresh. First n last visit, i would say. As well Cheesy garlic scrolls can't remember the exact name they were looking very delicious n tasty but only the top part was good. Inside layer was taste like not cooked properly. I could smell it as well that it was half cooked in the owen. No regrets as am foody person n try new places to eat. New york's authentic pizza needs to be well recognised in other countries...

Was on a trip to queenstown from Auckland and was craving sals and a movie in my hotel room. Went into the Frankton store and went to place my order they told me the Wait could be “long” I asked how long and they said 20min then said it could be “longer” which I was more than happy to wait as I was hungry the look on there faces when I said sweet I’ll wait was like they could not be bothered at all and wished I would leave the shop after 45 mins I got my pizza and all was good with the food. Tonight again I wanted some sals so went into the same exact shop but to find that they were closed at 7pm yet online says 9pm happy to say I will not be...
