Yes, another review of a pizza place with Sal or Sal's in it's name! This time it is Sal and Sons Pizza & Pasta in Ontario. The other pizza places with Sal or Sal's in their name are, Two Sal's in Montebello-which is now closed, Sal's Pizza and Bagelry in La Verne, and Sal's Pizza in Alta Loma. I found out about Sal & Sons Pizza and Pasta from a review by David Allen.
Sal & Sons Pizza & Pasta is located in a very diverse shopping center just south of the 10 Freeway and Mountain Ave. exit. There is also a Chinese, Mexican, and an American restaurant (A wings place called Wing Nuts. I reviewed their Costa Mesa location, but have not been to this location) in that same shopping center. There could be other restaurants, but those three I noticed. Sal & Sons is a large sized, casual restaurant. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to your table. I was surprised how busy they were at about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon.
Sicilian
two topping- mushrooms and jalapenos, $24.46. This pizza had 16 slices,
with lots of cheese and a mild tasting sauce. There was a decent
amount of toppings and the toppings were pretty fresh. But, the crust
was the worst part of the pizza. The crust was too crispy for the
slices from the sides and the slices from the middle were soggy.
Service
was good. The lady was friendly and helpful. But, one interesting
thing about Sal & Sons is they consider toppings like broccoli and
spinach as two toppings. Not sure why because mushrooms are more
expensive at the supermarket than broccoli and spinach!
Standing on a soapbox now: This is something I don't understand about the pricing at pizza places. If you order a veggie pizza, the veggies are what the restaurant decides-most have mushrooms, bell peppers, olives and tomatoes. Well, if most toppings are priced the same, why can't a customer substitute any of the toppings? Say instead of olives, you want jalapenos? I mean if you delete a topping they still charge you the same price. So why not allow the customers to substitute a different veggie topping on a veggie pizza?
I thought Sal & Sons was ok. Maybe their regular pizza is better, but I don't think I'll be back any time soon.
