Obituary: Sal, of Upper West Side Favorite Sal and Carmine's, Dies

So Sad, I grew up in the building where Sal and Carmine's is, I was eating their pizza since the womb, so sad. Sal was fantastic, he would always greet me in Italian and he even told me all the places to go in his home town of Sorrento when I was in Italy. What was always so great about Sal and Carmine's was that you could always tell who made the pizza. He will be missed.

How sad.

I've been going here since it was just Sal's and located by Symphony Space. When that one closed, I was relieved to find it re-open right around the corner from where I lived (saving me 5 blocks) as it took over the space from a vain attempt at a slice place from a few neighborhood guys (one of whom went on to start the local video store). Anyway, the place had character -- not in the decor which stayed the same as the neighborhood guys (in case anyone wondered about those posters) -- but in the guys behind the counter. And a slice is always good for four or five glasses of water an hour later.

Sal will certainly be missed. And Carmine...my condolences.

It always was just Sal and Carmine - since I was a little kid. Used to be on Bwy (94/95). Went there with my friends every day in the late 60's for lunch in JHS. Even after moving uptown and 20+ years later, they would both greet my mother like an old friend when she would stop in for her 1-2x/year visit for a slice. They even remembered me when I stopped in a couple of years ago, after at least 30 years!! Great guys, legendary pizza, the REAL (and long gone) Upper West Side at it's best.
