Sal & Carmine Pizza is a long-running, no-frills New York slice-and-counter pizzeria on Broadway that's been serving the Upper West Side since 1959, earning a loyal local following and 400+ Yelp reviews for its classic New York slice.

Our single search did not surface specific reported wait times or a formal reservation policy, which fits the counter-service slice-shop format: customers typically order and pay at the counter and eat standing or at limited seating rather than waiting to be seated. Given its popularity and long tenure, the counter can get busy during traditional lunch and dinner hours, though turnover at a slice shop is generally quick.

How long is the wait at Sal & Carmine Pizza?

Damnlines does not have a live camera at this venue yet, so we can't give you a real-time wait count. Our research did not turn up specific reported wait-time figures for this spot. It's a long-running (since 1959), well-reviewed (400+ Yelp reviews) counter-service slice shop on Broadway, so foot traffic can build up at the counter during lunch and dinner rushes, but as a walk-up/order-at-the-counter pizzeria, turnover is typically fast.

Does Sal & Carmine Pizza take reservations?

We found no indication that Sal & Carmine Pizza takes reservations. It operates as a classic New York slice-and-counter pizzeria, a format that typically serves walk-in customers on a first-come basis rather than by reservation.

What are Sal & Carmine Pizza's hours?

Reported hours are Monday 12:00 PM-9:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday 12:00 PM-10:00 PM, and Sunday 12:00 PM-9:00 PM. Always confirm on their official site or Yelp page before visiting, since hours can change.

Where is Sal & Carmine Pizza located?

What's the best time to go to Sal & Carmine Pizza to avoid a wait?

We don't have live wait data for this location yet. As a general rule for counter-service slice shops, arriving outside of the traditional lunch (roughly 12-2 PM) and dinner (roughly 6-8 PM) rushes tends to mean shorter counter lines, but this is general guidance rather than something we've measured on-site.
