Google lists: dine-in · delivery · takeaway · beer · wine · lunch · dinner · vegetarian options. > 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 ago > It's NYC on Litchfield Street. Friendly staff, great service, and Authentic New York Pizza. The best pizza in town. Outstanding. Fully recommended., Kuldeep Kaur, 6 months ago > Amazing service from the staff member on! I work in the area and always been given good and quick service., Talya Jade, 2 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5343226&lon=172.6415573) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5343226,172.6415573,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Sal's) - [Christchurch Central City](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4330530190), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Sal's?** A pizza restaurant in Christchurch Central City, Christchurch. **Where is Sal's?** 146 Lichfield Street, Christchurch Central City, on [Lichfield Street](https://www.chch.live/street/christchurch-central-city/lichfield-street).
