Sal and Carmine Pizza

The 24 Best Restaurants On The Upper West Side - New York - The Infatuation

"Every neighborhood wishes they had a slice shop like Sal and Carmine, and for a classic New York slice on the Upper West Side, you really can’t get better than this. The 102nd Street spot has been a cornerstone in the neighborhood since 1959, and their slice selection is indicative of this. Expect the classics, like pepperoni, mushroom, white pizza, sausage, margherita, and old-school Sicilian squares, with none of that new school Detroit-style mumbo jumbo. Look out for the neon sign that claims the slices are “Large” and “Crispy”—generally, they fulfill their promises." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
