Big Sal Pizza

The food tasted homemade and the service was amazing! We ordered 5 honey bbq wings and 5 honey garlic wings with a slice of sausage and mushroom pizza. It was good. Not the typical New York thin crust but the toppings were visible and tastes good. The crust was not soggy with the toppings and had a good crunch when bitten into. The waitress was very attentive and was plesant. We were the only ones in thr restaurant but there were multiple delivery orders so they are doing something right! We ate from Florida driving from Canada it was a good way to welcome back to America!

Good basic Italian food, tastes home cooked, & excellent service. Other reviewer correctly mentioned that place could use an overhaul, it’s curb appeal is lacking: we probably wouldn’t have stopped if we weren’t desperately hungry & wanting to get on our way home. Desserts need to be expanded, only 2 kinds of basic cake & chocolate pie.
My son ordered a calzone that came out slightly overcooked (not even that noticeable). Other places would’ve just brought out his meal with no explanation (bc we thought it seemed fine). Our server promptly stated that the kitchen apologized for overcooking it & offered to let him start eating it while waiting for another cooked more to their standard. Impressed.

Ok, so on our way back to Long Island from a week’s vacation in Canada we decide to get off of the Adirondack Thruway by Plattsburgh because we see a sign for «Big Sal’s Pizza». Being Italian, and having eaten pizza not only in Italy but the actual pizza capital of the world NYC, I was unsure walking into a restaurant where the pizza is not sitting on the front counter behind glass for inspection. The hostess informed us that they did not serve slices after 4:00 p.m. The restaurant was clean, but what made us unsure was that there was nobody sitting in the pizzeria. The décor is simple with a bar counter, diner type booths and another big seating area. Boy am I glad we took a chance. The staff was friendly, and the pizza was DELICIOUS!!! We ordered a large half onion, half mushroom pie made to order thin and crispy! It came out perfect! The sauce was tasty, cheese of good quality and the whole thing was $ 19 including two Lipton sparkling Teas! The pizza ranks up there with brick oven pizza places, and I have been to them all; Grimaldi’s, Patsy’s, Napoli 69, and The Pie at Salvatore’s, to name a few. If you are hungry for a bite and are in the area, take a chance at «Big Sal’s»! You will come up a winner!

We ordered 2 large pizza’s and hot wings. Both were excellent. The under-​crust was crunchy and thin enough so it doesn’t get soggy where it meets the toppings. The end-​crust was nice and light and actually good to eat without cramping up your jaws.
The wings, although somewhat on the smaller side, were flavorful, even though they could have been a little saucier. They still had crunch on the outside, and tender on the inside. We got the hot version, which could have had a little more kick for my taste.
Service was courteous and efficient. We also found out they deliver where we live, so this will be our go-​to pizza place for the future.

On way home after week in Canada, so glad to find big sals pizza off route 87 south. The pizza was excellent, the wings are some of the best we’ve ever had, buffalo ckn salad great! Much better than the fast food at the mcd’s rest stop.

Wow. I’m surprised more reviews haven’t come in for Big Sal’s.
I go there quite a bit and I’d have to say I have not had bad food from them yet. I would HIGHLY recommend the white pizza with garlic, chicken and broccolli. It’s AMAZING!!! I’ve also had their calzones and chicken. I really think the food is quite good! My friend ordered the chicken parm and it looked good, he liked it. I would recommend eating here. The place itself needs a HUGE makeover and perhaps that’s why they aren’t more popular? That’s OK. I’ll keep eating here!

Actually it doesn’t deserve one star… I would have to say our server was great though…
