When I was living in New York for a few years, Tex-Mex Food and BBQ were parts of my diet that were lacking. Fortunately, I have been back in Dallas for nearly 5 years, REAL New York pizza is not lacking.
Sal's Pizza at 2525 Wycliff in Dallas (they also have a Legacy Drive location in Plano) is the best New York style pizza in Dallas, hands down. I have always heard that the secret to NY style pizza crust is in the water and that is why it is so difficult to find it here in Dallas. Well either Sal is importing his water from NYC or he's figured out a way around the water issue because his pizza and Italian entrees are not only great... they are authentic!
Sal's pizza is a NY style thing crust with a robust red sauce and mozzarella cheese. The crust has a softness to it so that you can curl and eat it. And any of the traditional toppings are available.
The pasta and chicken entrée's are all delicious and served with lots of sauce and a side salad. When you get a salad, be sure to ask for Sal's special house dressing. It is like a tomato/basil flavored dressing with tons of flavor... you'll never ask for ranch dressing again!
For dessert (yes, you need to save room). Be sure to get the cappuccino ice cream pie. The name says it all... and it is all that the name promises.
Rounding out the experience, Sal's is a family restaurant and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are large enough that you can share depending onhow hungry you are.
Now if somone could just master real Tex-Mex or BBQ in NYC! :)
