Sal's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Old Saybrook

We were taking a small trip down to CT to visit the Beardsley Zoo (following Rhode Islander rules: drive more than an hour, get a hotel) and dropped in by chance to grab a bite. Oh wow.

The wait staff were incredibly friendly. My son has food allergies, and our waitress checked the bread, soup, and salad ingredients to be sure they were free from milk or egg. She was busy with a few other tables, but still was able to answer our questions and kept the drinks full.

The food itself was a treat. The salads had a nice mix of veggies, and the bread came out steaming. My son loved his chicken soup, filled with chicken and pasta. My wife's meatball sub was cooked perfectly, with a crunchy crust surrounding soft bread and tasty meatballs covered in melted cheese. My stuffed ziti was simply insane. Ziti covered in melted cheese, with a bit of ricotta underneath, served with a plate of meatballs. Plenty of garlic cooked in, as well.

We stopped by here completely at random, just looking for a quick meal. Our bill turned out to be a little over $35 for all three of us, and we all had leftovers. Quick on and off of 95, great food, great service, and great value. I can't recommend this...

Sals Pizza delivered an incredible dining experience with its mouthwatering dishes served piping hot. The variety on the menu impressed, offering great options to satisfy diverse cravings. The flavors were simply amazing; each bite felt like a burst of culinary delight. However, the service, though friendly, had a sluggish pace. Waiting for a few items felt longer than expected, and the overall efficiency could use improvement. On the beverage front, the beer selection left something to be desired, lacking in choices. Conversely, the extensive wine list provided a silver lining for those seeking a sophisticated sip. Despite these minor hiccups, Sals Pizza offers a great overall experience. The exceptional food quality overshadows any service lag, making it a worthwhile dining destination. If you can overlook a bit of waiting time and a limited beer selection, the delicious food and extensive wine options make this establishment highly...

Passed this place many many times on our way to another restaurant my wife and I frequent in Old Saybrook. Hungry for pizza and wanted to give it a try and so glad we did! Wife had the white pizza and I had the traditional red and I am not a sauce person. WOW - fantastic. Side of meatballs topped it off and of course plenty to take home. Rachel was our waitress and an absolute sweetheart. Provided us with a little history of the restaurant and owners and certainly nice to hear an employee with a long tenure speak highly of their employer AND she is only part time as she has a career - incredible. Really felt like we were regulars. Immaculate and warm atmosphere and the food is outstanding. Definitely will no longer drive past. Thank you Rachel for your hospitality and a great evening for some newcomers!!!! Sal’s WE WILL BE BACK!!! The REAL...
