Bites Nearby: Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizzeria in Port Washington

If you love thin-crusted brick oven pizza made with fresh whole ingredients, chances are you will love  in Port Washington.

This eatery bakes with homemade mozzarella cheese, crushed tomatoes and fresh basil. And, it goes without saying, there doesn't seem to be a canned mushroom in the house.

Like with other pizzerias, you don’t have to be a pizza lover to become a fan of Salvatore’s. It offers both a traditional salad and a Greek salad, with such toppings as roasted red peppers, mozzarella and grilled chicken.

Other dishes worth trying include the eggplant Parmigiana, which makes for a tasty appetizer, along with sausage rolls, chicken rolls and more. Also featured: a host of pasta dishes – ziti, stuffed shells, and pasta verdure (penne with fresh veggies, sauteed with garlic and onions in a light marinara sauce).

Salvatore's is almost always busy on a Friday night. And because it doesn't sell by the slice, be sure to stop by with a group of friends, or pick up a pie for the family for dinner.  Order early to avoid the crowds.
