Salvatore's Among 101 Best Pizzerias In Nation

If you live in New York, you already know the state boasts many excellent pizzerias.

But it never hurts to have that distinction recognized nationally, and the fine dining website The Daily Meal recently ranked the 101 Best Pizzas In America for 2018, and New York was well-represented.

One Port Washington pizzeria made the list. Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizza, located at 124 Shore Road, was ranked at No. 51. The pizzeria's claim to fame is their margherita pie.

From The Daily Meal:

Ownership has since changed hands [since opening in 1996], but they haven't lost their touch, firing simple small, large, and personal pies featuring either homemade mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil, or mozzarella, garlic, grated cheese, and basil (with the option to pick from almost 20 toppings including everything from jalapeños and meatballs to ham and grilled chicken).

Salvatore's is among four Long Island pizzerias and 36 New York pizzerias that made the list. Other Long Island locations on the list can be found here.

So, what do you think? Does the margherita pie live up to the hype?
