Salvo’s Pizzabar.

Worth it, says Antonina. Salvo’s Pizzabar has been around since 2012 and has provided the neighborhood with some of the best pizza in the Upper East Side for over a decade.

Salvo’s Pizzabar has been around since 2012 and has provided the neighborhood with some of the best pizza in the Upper East Side for over a decade. The place is exactly what it sounds like, a laid-back pizza parlor offering beers that pair nicely with Italian dishes. Think of it as if a sports bar and a pizzeria had a baby.

At this UES pizza joint, you can order by the slice or a full pie. I have yet to try the pasta dishes but the pies are some of the best pizza on the Upper East Side when I’m in a pinch. On a sunny summer day, grabbing a couple of slices and settling by the East River is one of the best ways to savor both the scenic views and the incredible pizza.
