Comfortable atmosphere with lots of military/patriotic/Americana memorabilia. Extremely friendly staff. The food...amazing! You get bread for the table, which is a great way to get started before the entree rolls in. I had the chicken parmigiana with pink sauce (marinara/alfredo mix). The portions were extremely generous; the flavor was “chef’s kiss.” I will definitely be back. 100% recommend!
Tried a random new place to eat tonight. I was in Pantego, so the closest Google search result won the draw. I landed at Saljo's Italian Cuisine for dinner where I selected the most standout item on the menu. I first started with some Fried Mozzarella Sticks accompanied by some Marinara and Ranch to appease my hunger. Meanwhile the kitchen was preparing Mama's Crustless Pizza for my entree. I thought it might be a pizza without edge crust. No, it was the pizza without any crust, including the bottom. I guess if you're going keto, this might be the ticket. The mozzarella was battered and fried crispy. The ranch was my choice of dip. The crustless pizza was different but delicious using bread to sop up the pizza sauce. It was meaty and flavorful but a little dangerous while the cheese was still hot. They didn't have regular sweet tea. Instead, they had a Raspberry tea that was sweet enough. Overall, a pleasant meal and unique Armed Forces decor throughout the restaurant. The service was excellent and courteous. I would love to try more sampling of their menu.
This is a Mom and Pop kind of place and by far one of the best Pizza joints I have been to. The owner is a massive supporter of our First Responders and that alone got 5 stars from me. But the food was amazing and I will be coming back here very soon.
Wonderful neighborhood place tucked away in a quiet corner of a strip center.
If there was a reason too reach the pinnacle of top 10 percent Italian restaurant reviewers in DFW for Google than it was to be to provide the restaurant I regard as the pinnacle of the Italian restaurants Saljo’s is here to cater to all walks of life. When you enter inside you see heritage and morals along with aromas of carefully pruned recipes that are tailored for Pantego and surrounding city’s. This place earned the five stars and earned 6 stars from me.
Garlic Knots, Warm Penne Pasta, Pizza, Fettuccine Alfredo and Calzone! Don't forget to grab a good cold drink while you're there! Best Italian in town! Also pictures of the new menu! They are open 4-9 Monday-Saturday and 4-8 on Sunday! New menu is posted on here & on the Facebook page @Saljos Pizza!
This place never disappoints. Everything is also so good that I over eat. Started out with bread and garlic knots that were sitting in a butter garlic puddle (YUM!!!), then got the tossed salad with the house Italian (my all-time favorite house Italian), then the spinach salad with a bacon vinaigrette, the the pizza. The medium is huge!!!! And it was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is fun if you like military stuff. Highly recommended!
The food is great and the service is wonderful. They make a mean bloody Mary and the owner is very personable.
