Salβs Pizzeria is named after Matt's father-in-law, Sal, born in Alcamo, Sicily in 1941. At 8 years old, Sal was delivering Italian food products out of the back of a horse and buggy that his father drove.
Salβs father was a cheese maker and brought the family to America in 1951 to start Collica Dairy. Collica Dairy transitioned into Collica Quality Foods where Sal has been distributing the best Italian food products for over 50 years.Β
Sal would always make pizza for the family and it was the best Matt had ever tasted. Being from New York, Matt was always very picky when it came to good pizza. He would ONLY eat Salβs pizza here in California. Since Sal would only make pizza for special occasions, Matt had an idea. Why not open a pizzeria just so he can have Salβs pizza whenever he wants!Β
So Salβs Pizzeria was born out of Matt's love for Sal and his pizza.
We hope you enjoy it too!
