Sal and Carmine’s on the Upper West Side is a true gem for pizza lovers! I ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was generously topped with a rich, flavorful sauce that perfectly complemented the savory toppings. The crust had just the right amount of crispiness—light and airy but still with that satisfying crunch. What makes this place even better are the fair prices, especially for the PIZZA SIZE you’re getting. If you’re in the neighborhood and craving an authentic New York slice, Sal and Carmine’s is definitely worth a visit! Also! The place boasts a huge interior space and a lot of seating too!

Sal & Carmine Pizza always hits the spot! To me, their pizza is underrated (which I don't mind because that means fewer people haha). Compared to all of the pizzerias in the neighborhood that sell *street pizza* they have the best. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweetness with savory. You can tell that they use fresh mozzarella. The crust is not too thick and not too thin either. If you want that crunch, ask them to heat your slice for a bit longer than usual. My bf and I always stop by to chat with the pizza maker and cashier. Both are great guys. We've never had a bad experience or a bad slice/pie. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by to get a slice. You won't regret it. P.S. They're selling icees for a dollar (2 big scoops) you can't beat that deal, especially with this heat.

Very good pizza, not the best I've had in NYC, it was a bit too greasy for my taste but if you're in the area and looking to get a NY slice, this is a solid spot. Staff were very friendly, too.

Should be renamed Sal & Carmine’s Cheese Monster Pizza. A solid slice that delivers. I personally like the sauce and if you like a lot of cheese then you’ll probably rate this higher than I did. Overall - 8.0 Crust - really nice colour but taste is very plain Topping - so cheesy Sauce - nice and sweet Price - $4

Visited Sal & Carmine's Pizza two days ago. Pizza variety selection is excellent. Smells great. Sat in the back and chilled with my kids and a bud. Not too expensive...perfectly suitable for an NYC street slice of pizza.

The cheese is right, the crust is right, but the sauce is off. It is too tomato paste heavy, which leads to a tangier and sweeter sauce. If that’s your preference, this might be your spot, but for me it left a tangy taste in my mouth and wasn’t a balanced slice.

Tried the Margherita - the dough was really good, but the sauce tasted like plain tomato paste, too strong and unbalanced. A bit disappointing overall.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed when I came here. I had looked at this place online to find a nice spot to eat with a friend to celebrate something. I had seen a lot of high rated reviews, many saying how this was “a rather iconic place in the upper west side,” and had high expectations for this place, but didn’t have the best experience. The place felt rather small and crammed, with only a few places to sit. Besides that, the food didn’t look the most appetizing. It was alright, but I had expected better. I’d probably look somewhere else for good pizza.

So average, it’s good. I guess. Regular Slice: 3.25/5 ($4) Sausage slice: 3/5 ($5) Closes at 9pm: 1/5 Destination: no Crust too thick, sauce is bland, cheese is too oily. 3rd best slice between 96th - 103rd.

Service is fine but the pizza has become trash. I moved up here about a month ago and I've tried three pies, two New York style and one margarite. I'm gonna include a picture of the margarita I just got. This thing is a joke. I ate two slices and you can see all the extra sauce that came off. Disgusting. And look at this cheese... It's so rubbery it didn't even melt into the sauce at all. Mad gross and it cost me over $30. Whatever this place did to earn it's reputation in the past, it's Nasty now. UPDATE: look how salty the owners are responding :''') His advice is just to make your own pizza, instead of buying his. We agree on this!
