I’m bummed to write this because I love SALLY. As someone whose been to over 200 restaurants in Philly, the food, ambience, and service have all been excellent all of the 5+ times I’ve come in for dinner. I really am a big fan and have always recommended it to my friends and colleagues. So much so that I picked to go on my recent birthday with 5 close friends. One of these friends was kind enough to bring a cake from Di Bruno and we kindly asked if it could be kept in the fridge while we ate dinner. After a great meal, we got the check and noticed there was a $30 extra charge. When we asked the waitstaff they said it was for the cake. After a bottle of wine and additional glasses/cocktails, four small plates, three pizzas, and a chocolate cake (yes, despite bringing a cake I always get this dessert), I thought this was excessive and not customer-forward. One of my favorite things about SALLY is the neighborhood feel and this steep extra charge to cut a cake and put four candles on it is not neighborly. Bottom line, go for the pizza and leave the cake at home I guess.

First, im so happy they are open on Sunday! I decided to go for dinner myself on Sunday afternoon and thankfully I was just one because the tables fill quickly! I sat at the bar and it was very cozy inside and the bar tender was friendly! I ordered the red pie with stratcciatella and anchovies and it was soooo delicious! First time having anchovies on pizza and I will never be the same again! For dessert I had the basque cheesecake and it was very light and airy! I really was craving coffee with my cheesecake but their machine was down, however the bartender gave me a complimentary dessert liquor that had the bitterness I was looking for! I greatly appreciated the attentiveness and going above and beyond to make my experience as enjoyable as possible! :)

Solid spot for pizza in Philly. We got the red pie, garlic and greens, and regular cheese. Garlic and greens was our favorite by far. We also got the ricotta appetizer which went rly well with the pizza crust. Nice selection of wine (we got a bottle of the rosata) and pretty good service. Hard to find parking in the area so be sure to factor in extra time if you drive. Only reason for 4 stars is because I’m a harsh pizza critic, but it was still really good and would def come back again. Everybody knows one bite.

Sat outside tonight in 90 degrees and it felt awesome outside. The starters are thoughtful and delicious. We got the kale salad which was very tasty, as well as the charred cabbage, which was the first time I willingly had cabbage in my life!
The pizzas are really awesome. Cooked in a stone oven and a whole variety of toppings. 6 slices on approximately a 14" pie, we got the plane and also a sausage and onion pie. Super crispy and tons of fresh flavor.
Cocktails are great too, top to bottom a great experience and the staff was easily the best part!!!!

Every single dish we had was exceptional. We were a party of 6 post-graduation and across the board we all said it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We came hungry and ordered a ton. Left not one bite. Seasonal ingredients prepared subtly and each unique. The shrimp, asparagus, and sausage and onion pizza top the list but ricotta and kale Caesar and zucchini were divine too. Too hard to pick a favorite. And we had a 9:30 reservation and were never rushed.
Bravo! Would eat here weekly if we lived in Philly. Wish you’d open in Brooklyn :)

The food at Sally's is delicious! Really loved the apps (my favorite was the chicken liver mousse)! The pizzas were also very delicious and the drinks were on point too. The service was great! Such a cute spot for a date or to grab dinner with a small group of friends!

If you picked up a hip Brooklyn restaurant and dropped it in Philly, this would be it. The vibe is cool, the people are hip and the food is delicious. Menu of pizza and unique starter dishes like chicken meatballs, Japanese yams and more. A little on the pricier side but the service makes up for it in a great way.

My cheerful, friendly, and informative server, Emily, brought my dining experience to life at Sally, where I offered her the opportunity to pair a different wine selection with each course I chose to try. The ricotta with local honey was such a beautiful and cozy dish, the cabbage unique and satisfying, and the pizza I came for hit the spot. However, the selection of wine at Sally is what makes it different from any restaurant I’ve been to in the city. I enjoyed three glasses, each totally different and truly unique. I have full intentions of returning to Sally’s bottle shop to purchase full bottles of what I drank this evening! This place has it all, the food is great, the wine selection is brilliant, and more important than either of those, the energy/care of the staff was on point. I think you get the point. I loved it, and I’ll be returning shortly.

I'll be the first one to say that I didn't understand the hype, and why it was so challenging to get a reservation this week for my partner. But man WAS U WRONG. This place is awesome. There is not a single item on the menu that is bad. You can order anything and it will be delicious. I promise.
We ordered charcoal shrimp, chicken liver mousse, sardine toast, fennel salami, the Japanese yam, clam and leek pizza, and sopressata pizza. All of it was fantastic. I didn't even really like the sardine toast but I have to give it up because I knew it was good.
The wine selection is really great, and the desserts were solid.
We sat outside in the rain and it was so peaceful and nice. They have a little picnic shelter setup. It was a fantastic night to be eating outside except I felt bad for D our server having to grab an umbrella.
D gets her own shout out. Everything she suggested was bomb. She complemented our app choices, and led us to the wonder that was clam and leek pizza.
Upon returning I will say you need the sopressata pizza. You also need the chicken liver mousse, and japanese yam. Grab the darker rose on the menu. Have a great night. I'll will return.
