Rochester NY Pizza Blog

Salvatore's Old Fashioned Pizzeria is a long-time Rochester chain with locations all around town. Has pizza, subs, wings, wraps, burgers, and dinners. They also offer catering services.

A third city location had its grand opening on May 21, 2007 in the old Two Paisans Pizza location at 1018 S. Clinton. This location is run by Mike DelGaizo and Vincent Valerie. According to a Democrat & Chronicle article on 5/21/07, the city provided a grant to pay for exterior lighting, a security camera, a computer, and advertising. This location provides the city with twenty new jobs, and all have been filled with city residents.

In addition to their numerous locations in the Rochester area, Salvatore's offers full-menu online ordering, with both delivery and pick-up options.

On January 12, 2010, Salvatore's opened their renovated Donuts Delite building to sell donuts (recipe from family of previous owners) and pizza. Michael Malley, whose family ran Donuts Delite from 1958 until its closing, returned to run the doughnut side of the business. The family agreed to let Fantauzzo use the original recipes for its doughnuts, such as banana cream and the "flying saucer," an oversize glazed donut with cinnamon.

I mean really rude. They actually *scream* at you if you try to explain to them why they *need* your area code, and then tell you your number is invalid.

I'm sure their pizza is fabulous, or they'd be out of business; so if you can afford the time to drive there, order, wait and drive home with it, go for it. —SadieCoulter

2008-02-03 00:31:41   SadieCoulter - While people with out-of-area cell phones may not be able to order online, you don't have to "drive there, order, wait and drive home with it". You could call them with that out-of-area cell phone.

I know I'm young, but even I remember when people placed delivery orders over the phone. Heck, I still do sometimes. I've even ordered over the phone from Salvatore's before. —StevenDibelius

2008-02-04 10:20:12   I don't know what all of this is about. I get a pizza from Salvatore's about once a week (They have a carryout special on Mondays: A large pizza for $6.50) and they have never been rude to me... And I have never heard them be rude to anyone else, either. —HuffaMoose

2008-04-26 16:21:13   Salvatore' is awful, just awful, and I have no idea why my previous comment describing how awful Salvatore's is was deleted. They use very cheap cheese which overpowers everything else you could possibly try to add onto it. I'd eat Pizza Hut everyday before I eat here. I've never tried any else other than their pizza, and quite probably, I never will. —NoahLeaf

2008-05-16 12:51:47   Blah! Thats all I can say about the pizza. —MrRochester

2008-05-17 21:12:45   I do not care for their pizza what so ever. —Dustin

2008-07-20 15:13:08   Saucy pizza with a crust that's lighter and airier than most other places. I can easily eat two Super Slices and leave hungry.

Their shaved steak subs are very noteworthy. I like them must better than DiBella's cheesesteaks, partly because Salvatore's doesn't throw a fit if you want extras on top, like salami or mayo. —ZachSmalt

2008-08-24 08:39:24   Jay St. location has fine service, OK pizza and good wings. Work up the street on West Ave and go there once a month, never had a problem. —CJM8232

2008-12-23 02:03:46   Worst pizza in the world. I have no idea how this place manages to stay open, let alone spread. Either by virtue of proximity to the RIT campus or some sort of a sweetheart deal nearly all the pizza at RIT is from Salvatore's. Thank Heaven Park Point just opened nearby where one can get some decent pizza from Paradiso_Pizza —AlexK

2009-01-12 13:28:26   Salvatore's is to Rochester what Pizza Hut is to the USA: the most widely available, bad pizza around. Horrible, greasy doughy crust that is only made worse by a gloppy layer of congealed cheese on top. —DavidPausch

2009-02-28 22:02:25   I love this pizza.I eat here bi-weekly and it is always the best.The other night I ordered online and my name was entered for a drawing.As a result of this drawing I lost 30 pounds. —sillybilly

2009-03-01 16:12:02   On top of the pizza being the definition of mediocre, I can't support an establishment that uses a grown man in a diaper to advertise its product. I know it's just a joke but it's embarrassing to watch and doesn't make me hungry for Salvatore's pizza. —BatGuano

2009-03-08 00:06:35   I get Salvatore's when I'm in the city... I don't mind the pizza, but it is doughy, as has been stated before. The jumbo wings, however, are a joke. They were smaller than any wings I have ever had — literally the size of my pinky, which is a shame since they want 7 bucks for 10 of them.

Get the pizza of you can get it cheap, and skip everything else. —foxual

2009-03-19 22:46:47   The pizza is really great! They have a lot of wonderful food choices for people with dietary restrictions. There was a small mistake with my delivery order but they resolved the issue very quickly and courteously. Their online ordering system is also very easy and convenient. —PrincessB
