Sal's Authentic New York Pizza - Exhibition Street 148 Exhibition Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000
About the Business
Welcome to Sal's Authentic New York Pizza on Exhibition Street in Melbourne, Australia. We are an establishment that prides itself on serving the only 100% authentic New York pizza in the country. Located at 148 Exhibition Street, our restaurant is a must-visit point of interest for food enthusiasts.
What sets us apart from other pizzerias is our dedication to preserving the traditional techniques and flavors of New York-style pizza. We have been fortunate enough to gain access to a legendary pizza maker's secret family recipe, and we have spent years perfecting Salvatore Leo's well-guarded pizza making techniques.
At Sal's, we are proud to say that all of our base ingredients are 100% authentic and imported directly from New York. You won't find these ingredients anywhere else in Australia. Our signature slow-risen dough is made using genuine New York Milled Hard Spring Wheat Flour, giving our pizzas that authentic New York base you can fold. The crust is crispy on the outside, yet light, tender, and airy on the inside.
To complement our perfect crust, we use a sweet tomato sauce made fresh daily using Sal's famous recipe. The sauce is made from vine-ripened California tomatoes, ensuring a burst of flavor with every bite. Our pizzas are topped with 100% premium Wisconsin Mozzarella, which is produced using the highest quality milk from sustainably farmed "happy cows." Wisconsin has been producing cheese since the 18th century, and we are proud to bring this tradition to Australia.
In addition to our classic pizza offerings, we have exclusive toppings that you won't find anywhere else. Our Famous New York Pepperoni and Italian Meatballs are made in-house and are exclusive to Sal's. We also offer Chicken Buffalo Wings made with the authentic "Original 1964 Buffalo" recipe, ensuring a taste of true New York flavor.
Salvatore Leo, the inspiration behind our restaurant, was born in 1941 in the small town of Corato in the Puglia region of southern Italy. At a young age, he was sent to live with relatives in New York to seek a better life. It was in Brooklyn, alongside his American cousins, that Sal discovered his talent for pizza making.

Reviews
"Always convenient to have pizza by the slice close-by. Was late for a show at Her Majesty's Theatre down the street so was able to inhale a couple of pieces quickly."
"So far, Sal's has the best NYC style pizza I've had here in Melbourne (US expat with many years of NYC pizza experience). Pepperoni and sausage slices done the right way, crust and sauce hit the mark, fair price and friendly service. Not heaps of ambience, as it's really a hole in the wall with a row of stools and some tables outside, but it's perfect for a quick stop before and/or after happy hour at the local bars. It will be hard to walk past and not get a slice or three, maybe the whole pie next time(s). Highly recommend for this style of pizza."
"Enjoyed it, was surprised with how crispy it was. Was good quality dough and toppings and was surprisingly filling also. I wouldn't bother with the garlic dough balls. They are a ball of undercooked dough. Never had American sliced pizza before but I can imagine this would be right up there with the best!"
"It’s to thank God we got in Sal’s Pizza. The Pepperoni is fantastic, Crunchy and smooth at the same time. Spice and sweet. Perfect balance with cheese. The fire one is really hot spicy with jalapeños. Buffalo wings very good too. An excellent place to order and take away or eat there. There are 25 places to eat."
