Bringing Authentic Italian Flavors to Gilbert
Sal’s was born from a desire to deliver genuine New York pizza to Arizona without compromise. “We wanted to create a place where families can enjoy real New York pizza without having to travel across the country,” says the passionate team behind the pizzeria.
