Sal & Carmine's Pizza

Ed Levine wrote that Sal served slices that were "more workmanlike and less idiosyncratic than Di Fara, but no less artful and satisfying." One of the best places for a slice on the Upper West Side. Read more

The slices are large, a little salty , and moderately greasy in that great New York slice kinda way. The aged mozzarella is flavorful and sparingly applied, and the sauce is sweet and tangy .

This neighborhood slice joint—once a middle school staple of mine—has been kicking it on the Upper West Side for decades, and a recent return proved it's stood the test of time. Read more

Delicious pizza !! Can’t believe I’ve lived on the UWS for 4 1/2 years and I’ve just tried it for the first time. One of the best corner pizza spots in the city . Better than famous Joe’s.

My favorite New York slice in the area. Nice and crispy and just the right amount of cheese and sauce

the dough is just incredible, as is the organic feel of all the ingredients. the best pizza on the UWS, absolutely--and right next to xi'an famous foods!

The spinach slice is excellent and if you are lucky enough to grab a calzone before they are all gone you will enjoy one of the best the city has to offer.

Classic NYC pizzeria , slices on the saltier side, but still delicious

Grew up here, had the best pizza all over, to me, this is the best pie I ever had. Period. Made by real Italians who have done it all their lives. DA BEST!!!

The pizza is awesome ! A little salty but it doesn't really matter, it's cheap and delicious and made in front of you !

Sal and Carmine’s plain slice ($2.50) is a local legend. "The light sauce is at one with olive oil , with a slightly tangy flavor that blends seamlessly with a generous layer of whole fat mozzarella ." Read more

Great NYC pizza , it's lost a bit of luster but still one of the better slices in NYC

Best slice of plain cheese pizza in all the land.

Some might call it the best pizza on the UWS

Best slice in the city . Truly great pizza even though they don't use a coal-burning oven.

Great, great regular slice. So thin and crisp. And SALTY ! Make sure you get something to drink! ;)

Amazing plain cheese slice, Sausage is also excellent

Perhaps the best "grease dripping down your arm" pie in NYC.

Best pizza in the city . Bar none. Run there.

Some of the best pizza in my life. Enough said.

Pizza is the best I've had so far!

Great slice and old school vibe here.

Best pizza . Period.

Great pizza , high prices, small space, health violations and no restroom . NYC in its glory :)

My favorite pizza place in NYC.

Dope. Dope dope dope. Get the pizza .

Correction: Sal passed away. Not Carmine.And Sal's grandson runs it with Carmine.Also they have the best delivery guy ever!

The best pizza in the city . Hands down

The Sicilian passed with Sal 6 years ago. This menu is accurate as of April 25, 2015

Best slice in the neighborhood . Shame they don't deliver .

Best plain slice in NYC

I used to make lines on 94th with my parents. Great memories.

This is a phenomenal slice of pizza .

all good things must come to an end... don't bother anymore, not worth losing dignity and appetite for $3.

Been eating here since I was born, so has my family, only pizza I eat RIP Carmine

Best puzza on the upper, west side

Pizza , the way it's supposed to be.

best slice in the world. i have been eating it since the 1980s when they were on 94th st. and broadway.

Perfect after a night on the town

Best pizza ever

Best slices on the upper west side!

The slices are not large and they are way too salty . Not sure who would call this the best slice in NYC.

A great slice of pizza , but don't expect a lot of seating. Best to go pick up.

11 bucks for three slices - is it good deal for NY?

Nice ingredients, but perhaps too salty ?

This is a good slice, but the pepperoni slice isn't worth four bucks.

Great ny pizza

Best slice in the city hands down...

Reynaldo P is mistaken. Sal, the elder of the two brothers, passed away. Carmine is still around but less and less often.

It's not Phil's on 96th - but it will do.
