Best pizza in Durham. My husband and I started going to Sal's Pizza (now Pomorodos Italian Kitchen) when I was pregnant with my son; we got hooked on their pizza and ate their every week for at least four months! Now my son is 2 years old and we still head there on the weekends for their awesome pizza. Cheese and pepperoni is outstanding but the veggie pizza is also awesome when you need a break from the traditional fare. Also their manicotti is fabulous and lasagna really does taste like homemade. Salads portions are generous and fresh; mozarella sticks and calamari are Y-U-M-M-Y! Everywhere we go we try different pizza but we rarely find anything that stacks up to Pomodoros!

Service is hit-or-miss; sometimes it's great and sometimes it's sorely lacking. But the atmosphere is very family-friendly (our son does laps around the restaurant talking to people while we finish up our meal, and the servers are super-accomodating and sweet) and the beer and wine is inexpensive. They accomodate large parties (we had 20 people once for a birthday gathering!) So grab your family and check it out sometime!

Reminds me of Queens. Great New York style pizza. Great manicotti and lasagna too, and the fried calimari are excellent. Genial service in a plain but family-friendly atmosphere. Really reminds me of my favorite places in NYC. Don't miss Thursday night; Sal's has a guy who sings standards very well (warning: he is accompanied by a karaoke machine).
