Fare
Sally's serves New Haven-style thin-crust apizza, which is baked in coal-fired brick ovens. By default, a New Haven pizza is a "plain" pizza topped with only tomato sauce, garlic, and mozzarella and Parmesan. Sally's is a small restaurant, and often, patrons must wait in line, sometimes for hours.
History
The restaurant was purchased for $500 in 1938 by Filomena Pepe Consiglio, sister of Frank Pepe, who was the owner of Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, another Wooster Street pizza restaurant. Sal Consiglio, a son of Filomena, ran it until his death in May 1989. His wife Flo died in September 2012. Their children Richard and Robert still operate the restaurant.
