The Take
Salvatore's Old Fashioned Pizzeria pushes solid local pie when you stick to the dough, but anything fried defaults to chain mediocrity. The 1978 Sicilian recipe gives real mozzarella without fake cheese shortcuts, yet leaves fry oil and dough fats unverified in typical industrial fashion.
This signals Rochester nostalgia for families and groups hunting cheap volume rather than clean sourcing.
The Verdict
Stick to the pies and the local staple holds up. The unverified fryer items drag the whole experience toward default chain territory.
Order the Manhattan 19-inch NY style or sheet pizza with garlic oil sauce.
