“ Went there to take my 10 year old to eat some real pizza. He thinks Little Ceasers is the bomb. LC has good pizzas but not the quality I grew up eating. Sal's Jr is the pizza of my childhood. We drive an hour and half to eat here. ”
“ Went in and placed an order for the cheese steak sub and some fries after work to go. The girl at the counter was very helpful and polite. I was told it would take about 10 minutes and it only took around 6 minutes to get my food and head out the door. The food was hot and delicious. There's a lot of competition in the area for the cheese steak sub and while it wasn't my favorite it did not disappoint. Will be back! ”
“ We always enjoy a good cheesesteak when we visit. They didn't disappoint. ”
“ The food is the primary focal point. I have always enjoyed my food and love a good calzone. ”
“ Delicious, best italian food around. I usually get the spaghetti and meatballs. You can eat off of a meal at least twice. Well worth the money. If I lived closer I would eat there all the time ”
“ Great food, very friendly staff. Had cheesesteak pizza and mozzarella sticks, both were great. ”
“ These pies are levels above any other pizzeria in the New River Valley. Get the full NY slice experience. Order an 18" pie, well done. Bigger slices taste better. It's been studied. 18" taste better than a 14", same ingredients, bake time, recipe, 100% same except size. Bigger slices taste better. Plus you want to ensure you have a few slices for reheating in your oven at home. Sal's slice reheated in your oven at home gives you a second incredible food experience. NY Style is designed to be reheated. Sal's Jr is an excellent example of authentic NY style. I cant believe there isn't a line out the door with people waiting on pizza. The pies truly blow the competition away. Also, Sal's Jr's Philly Cheesesteak are something everyone should experience. Their cheese sauce would make shoe leather taste goo ”
“ I actually found out yesterday that Sals on Main Street is the brother of Sal Jr. Sal Jr's was closed so we decided to order from Sals thinking it would be the same. Well it was not. First time ever ordering from them and the order was wrong. That really makes a difference when people go to order again. I don't think the Subs that Sals make are as good as Sal Jr's. Don't know what the difference is but it didn't taste no where as good as Sal Jr's. Plus they put tomatoes on the sub when the order was only 3 things on my sub. Meat, cheese and green peppers. They got that wrong? Don't understand that one but I learned a valuable lesson. I'll stick with Sal Jrs. ”
