There is Pizza, and there is Pizza. Salvatores Coal Oven Pizzeria in Port Washington offers up fresh, I mean fresh Brick oven roasted pizza. This is not that stuff served up by a guy named sal with sauce that comes from a bucket and low moisture skim milk mozzerella.
In a strip of stores on Shore Road in Port Washington there is a Brick Oven filled with Charcoal waiting to serve you lunch. I ordered a Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil individual pizza, that sized in at about 10″. ($6.25) I shared it with another person and it was more filling then I had expected. It was so good though I do wish I had had more. My pizza was made to order. The dough was pounded out fresh, and the 3 ingredients added. Then placed into the Brick oven to be fired and baked. About 5 minutes later my pizza came out, hot and ready with a few crusty burnt spots. Simplicity is one of the most common elements in all good food. One of the essentials of god cooking (and eating) are excellent fresh ingredients. This pizza was packed with fresh flavor. The smell of Basil creeped from the sides of the box as I went to open it and fresh crushed tomatoes sat on top of thin layers of fresh mozzarella cheese. In these few simple ingredients you can taste so much. The brick oven also adds its own signature flavor. You almost feel the smoke of the flaming oven in the crust.
This is high quality food. One of the best pizza I think i have ever had. Its the kind of pizza that reminds you how bad your local pizza place is.This is some of the best pizza this side of Long Island has to offer.
A few things worth mentioning. Credit, Forget it. This is a cash only establishment. There are also no slices sitting around. You get a fresh pie made for you or you suffer with your local low moisture pizza place around the corner. There are tabling for dining and other pasta dishes and the like aswell, but go and taste the pizza first.
