Sal’s has to be one of the best pizza options in New Zealand for takeaway. The pizzas are consistently good — generous, flavourful, and exactly the kind of comfort food you want when you’re looking for a quick and satisfying meal. The takeaway experience is what they do best: grab a pizza, bring it back, and enjoy it wherever you are. Great crust, good toppings, and that classic New York-style feel make it stand out from the usual pizza chains. A reliable choice when you’re craving a proper pizza fix while travelling around New Zealand.
Kee Lam Ho, 3 months agoIt's NYC on Litchfield Street. Friendly staff, great service, and Authentic New York Pizza. The best pizza in town. Outstanding. Fully recommended.
