Sal’s Gilbert Pizza

Just moved here to Gilbert this week. Like I always do when in a new town I go on pizza quest. We heard this place was good so we headed straight here! Without having even tasted the food, i already love this place. It was bizy, the food on the tables looked great. And the staff including the owner Sal were as friendly as you can be. Then the pizza came… I have found a home here at Sal’s. So stoked

We got the family deal last night (pizza, wings, garlic knots). It was plenty of food for a family of 4 and everything was very good. Sal was holding court as usual and there were lots of hard working, friendly young people bustling around. Food was hot and ready for pick up as promised. Will be back.

My new pizza place ! Made me feel like I was back home in New York!
Best pizza I have found, worth the drive from Maricopa. Excellent service.
We had Stromboli, angel hair with Alfredo sauce, and slice of white pizza and a slice of baked ziti pizza so yummy

Pizza is delicious! A tad pricy, but you get what you pay for. Garlic knots are really good, too. My favorite was the bruschetta pizza — SOOOO yummy!!!

OMG is all I can say! The pizza is great, but the entrees are amazing! I am from Long Island and Sal has the best Italian food here by far! And I have to plug the vodka sauce. Just amazing!

Sal’s is a great Italian restaurant. We love the pizza and spaghetti. My kids love their spaghetti the most. Very friendly service. Usually Sal takes the time to say hello. Great experience!

I was born and raised in New Jersey and ever since Manhattan Joes closed, I’ve been searching for quality East Coast Style pizza. I remembered seeing something about a pizza place on Diners, Drive-​Ins and Dives and came across Sals Gilbert Pizza. I decided to stop by on the way home from work on Saturday and pick-​up my 2 xlg pizzas. The place was busy but seemed to be humming along efficiently.
THE PIZZA: Best East Coast pizza I’ve had since I moved west. I met Sal and he and his staff were very friendly. I will be treating myself to Sals again in the very near future. If you want really good Pizza with super tasty crust, go to Sals!

I was going to take a before picture of my pizza but then thought, ain’t nobody got time for that. Best pizza in town hands down.

I was recommended to go to Sals Gilbert Pizza because it was seen on DDD. I will never go back. Chicken Marsala was terrible, Italian sub was very dry, Fettuccini Alfredo had a ton of butter. At almost 20.00 a plate, except for the sub I would have thought it would be so much better. Parking is terrible. The side salads are a joke… Will never go back! There was enough butter in the Fettuccini Alfredo to clog all arteries!

My daughter and I were evacuated on Saturday night due to the five alarm fire. I want to give a big shout out to Sal, his family and staff! They donated food to all of us at the Gilbert Police station. As usual, the food was delicious but, more importantly, their generosity was overwhelming!
We were scared and hungry. Never a good combination.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We went to Sal’s in March during our annual spring training trip to Arizona. We had seen it previously on an episode of Diners, Drive-​inside and Dives and decided it looked too good not to tey. We got there and had about a 15 minute wait until we could get a table which was no big deal, we’ve waited longer at other places. After we were seated and ordered our food we were surprised by the garlic knots that they brought to the table, they were so tasty and helped curb the hunger pangs! After waiting a little bit, our food was delivered, we had ordered a spaghetti pizza… yes I said that correctly it’s the best spaghetti and meatballs I’ve had but on a pizza crust smothered in cheese! I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and want a fantastic meal. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait but it’ll be worth it, I promise!

Wow! I grew up 45 miles from new York city. I know what this style of pizza is supposed to taste like and Sal nailed it! As seen on diners drive ins and dives this place is legit. Slices have no cornmeal on the bottom (like 100% of authentic New York joints) and they offer white, Sicilian and even pasta topped slices. Wiat times at night are to be expected so go off peak if possible. Watch the movie ‘do the right thing’ and thank your lucky stars we too have a true new york Sal’s pizzeria to go to ;-)

Wish there was a 10 star rating, because I would give it to Sal’s. Amazing food, personable staff in a clean, friendly environment. Best pizza in the valley.
My family and I are from the East Coast, and we really haven’t found an authentic Italian restaurant we truly enjoy. Im second generation Italian American… and this place reminds me of all my local spots back in Jersey and NYC.
Sal’s Gilbert Pizza is awesome!

So, this place deserves every star. We were skeptical at first of ordering pizza with Spaghetti and Meatballs on it, so we did a half and half with a Margarita. Both were stupendous. The spaghetti and Meatball has petite meatballs and a hint of vodka sauce that will make you want to use a fork and knife but damn that idea and fold it up because it’s worth it.
They sat delicious garlic knots in front of us at the beginning that were also pretty tasty. Overall, this is a place I’d recommend highly. Just come early and come hungry. We tried last week and were told it was an hour wait. Today, we walked right in and say down instantly. We ordered a large and only are two slices each.

Absolutely love this place and I would give it 5 stars based on food alone!
BUT just drove over an hour and it’s closed! Maybe you should update your website and Unilocal with correct hours so visitors know your closed on Mondays!

What can be better than delicious, healthy, refreshing beer on tap, and thin crust New York style pizza? Well, on Wednesday nights Sal’s has been offering your second pizza for half off — what a deal. And, the pizza is WONDERFUL. Some of the best I have ever tasted. The only two things that I would improve are: offer the delicious, healthy, refreshing beer in pitchers; and expand the restaurant so the wait is shorter. Ah, but really, nothing can top this place. You gotta try it! Yum.

Just as I was getting ready for my trip out to Arizona, I was watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and what do you know Guy Fieri is talking about Sal’s Gilbert Pizza! It just happened that I was gonna be in the Gilbert, Arizona area on my trip… so how do I not stop by!
I live in Florida and what you never find there is a place that just sells pizza by the slice. That’s all I ask for! Any family Italian restaurant you visit only sells pizza made to order. I visited Sal’s for lunch, and not only do they have good lunch specials, they sell pizza by the slice!
And after complaining all this time that I never can find a place in Florida that sells slices, ironically I went for a chicken roll! There were plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and eat. The chicken roll was as good as can be and they gave me 2 cups of marinara sauce to dip it into. I was happy regardless of not getting pizza slices.
If Sal’s opened a place in South Florida, they would do phenomenal!

I went out for lunch with family and we couldn’t decide where to eat. I just started driving toward Gilbert and I said if we see something good we’re going there. I pulled up to Sal’s, walked in and remembered seeing it on Diners, Drive-​ins and Dives. We ordered a sausage and mushroom pizza, garlic knots and hot wings.
This has to be one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! The crust was light and crispy from edge to center. The sauce is very flavorful; you can taste the fresh tomatoes, garlic and basil in every bite. The knots were good, garlicky and fresh. We asked to have our wings cooked extra crispy. They were crunchy on the outside but still very juicy and the sauce had a great kick. Hold on, I just got my cheesecake… creamy and delicious. Wow.
Bottom line: I love local, family-​owned pizzerias and this is the best I’ve been to so far. I’d love to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Good people and good food here at Sal’s!
We ordered a Large Supreme Pizza and a Small Dinner Salad. The salad was not small and it was delicious and had artichoke hearts, yea! The pizza came out cooked to perfection. It is easy to get a soggy pie when you order a combo or supreme, but this came out fresh and crispy. The toppings were all fresh and the cheese seemed to be shredded fresh.
Good Job Sal, we’ll be back soon!

I like Sals because I feel like I am walking into a legit Italian pizza joint. I love seeing Sal working hard in the back and talking with all his regular guest. It makes me wanna get to know Sal!
The service is always good, not great. The pizza is good, not great. The wings are GREAT!
Be prepared to wait, especially if you are a big group.
Great local business that I will continue to support. I will find a GREAT pizza on their menu.
