Customer Reviews
I have reviewed a lot of pizza places. Some newer and some established. But Im telling you here and now that none of them have the sheer authentic spirit that Sal’s OIP has. Now I decided to place an order here after a bad experience at another pizzeria over the weekend where I was charged $15.90 for a mere 3 slices of the blandest pizza imaginable. But today at Sal’s I bought the small Sicilian pizza pie. These are true Sicilian style cuts, not the square kind that many offer. And the heft, flavor and craftsmanship that Sal personally puts into crafting his pizza simply cannot be duplicated. Thus Sal’s is the real deal that you cannot get anywhere else locally. And the prices are reasonable….not robbery!! So right here and now, considering the sheer experience of Sal’s hands, his
We came in and tried the stromboli, and oh my goodness it was so good. I just wish i could get this back home in Alabama . The service was great and the place was clean. I have zero complaints. And will definitely be telling people about this place when I get back home.
Sal's OIP is another Altoona exclusive restaurant, and Sal and his wife are legends in their own right. They've been running this business for over 25 years, and offer a hearty pizza with a chewy, fresh baked bread type of crust. There are other italian style sides like subs, strombolis, and spaghetti dinners, but sometimes a plain old pepperoni pizza is best. It usually closes for a month or so during the summer when they go on vacation, and it's dinner only (opens at 4pm).
This has always been my favorite authentic Italian pizza spot! The sauce is so specially made with a dash of sweetness! The owner is amazing, too! It's a whole vibe!!! ♥️🍕🙌🏼🍕♥️
Brought our order home and it was completely wrong. I called down to ask for a new sub to be made because I understand mistakes happen. The person who answered the phone sat there and argued with me like I was lying. Then got extremely nasty that she had to correct my order. I will not be returning, I’ll go back to OIP on North 2nd where the treat there customers with respect.
