((Raises paw.)) May I do my Show & Teww now? Fank you. ((Walks up in front of the others) Mama wibed in Connecticut for many years (hew fabowite pwace), and New Haben is known fow its pizza! Sawwys is famous and has been awound a bewy, bewy wong time. She says its da bestest pizzzawia in da whowe wowwd. A wot ob famous peopwe wike fink so too! Hewes a widdwe bit about dem: Sallys was established in 1938 by Salvatore Consiglio. Renown for thin crust pizza still baked today in the same coal-fired oven that has been in use for over 75 years. Continuously operated since 1938, Sallys is one of the oldest family run pizzerias in the Northeast. For many years Sal and Flo Consiglio were the sole proprietors. Today Sals children, sons Bob and Rick, and daughter Ruth, still maintain the family tradition. Located on historic Wooster Street in New Haven, CT, Sallys is the first restaurant on the left. Wooster Street is often termed the Little Italy of New Haven. Sallys is one of the cornerstone restaurants in the New Haven Pizza wars (which pizzeria is best). The corner of Wooster and Olive Streets bears the name of Flora and Salvatore Consiglio. Many dignitaries, athletes and stars have dined on Sallys over the years. Pictures and memorabilia from these visits line the walls. Notables include Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Kathleen Turner, Don Rickles, Jimmy Durante and Gary Trudeau (look for the Doonesbury tribute to Sallys the next time you are there). You may stand in line for a table, and once seated you probably will wait for your pizza, but the wait is worth it. Each pie is individually hand-made, and carefully baked in our coal-fired oven. I fink dis may make a wonnewfuw Fiewd Twip on Wednesday...what you guys fink? Just finkin bout it makes me dwoow!
