Sal's Pizza - Merrimack

There's NY-style pizza. Very consistent. Three stars the pizza is not a big fan of the rest of the menu. You focus on the pizza, which is good if that's what you're coming for.

Worst steak and cheese in town. Chewy and filled with grissel and fatty meat Couldnt even eat it. Made me gag. Pizza is under cooked. Chicken salad sub was made with dark meat and had fatty pieces of chicken The meatball sub has no taste and is made with cheap meat. Called to get delivery and was told 1 hour to an hour and 1/2. Worst pizza place in town.

We ordered a large cheese pizza from this location. 20-25 minutes later we had the pizza. We usually pick up our ordered food. Well made with the right amounts of sauce and cheese. I learned years ago to not order with toppings from Sal's. The pizza becomes over priced and the dough is just too soft to handle it so, there was no disappointment there as we had just cheese pizza. Location has plenty of parking.

The pizza itself deserves 4 stars, but the rest of the experience is 1 star. I know the XL pizza is big, but $4.25 for a meat topping is a bit much, even for this economy. I ordered a medium specialty pizza with extra sauce. Mind you, I order my pizza with extra sauce at every pizza establishment I go to, my whole life. This is the only place ever that extra sauce has even been charged as a full topping (I've gotten a 50 cent charge before). On a medium pizza, that's $3.00, and you couldn't tell if there was hardly any sauce on there, much less $3.00 worth of extra sauce. Over $20 for a medium pizza is a bit extreme. I forgot when this happened once a few months ago, but I won't forget again, since I won't be coming back. If you want a cheese pizza, enjoy, if you want any toppings, be prepared to pay out the nose...

This is a franchise store. They won't offer you the XL deal for $9.99 on Monday and Tuesday. Although, this isn't noted on the website. I was treated rudely when I called in and asked for the deal. I guess I was supposed to already be educated that only corporate stores do this deal. I didn't order the first time I called because the girl I spoke to kind of hit a nerve. However, my kids kept asking me to try Sal's since we are new to New England and need a good go to pizza spot in Merrimack. So, I gave in. I figured we can start with a cheese pizza. Again, the service was not the best. The atmosphere made me feel unwelcome when I came to pick up the pizza. The pizza lacked the cheese, the only topping it had. I might give them another try with a pizza that has more toppings. The sauce was pretty tasty. The crust is good too. The lack of cheese was quite sad.
