Pizzeria Salvy

Morgan Kain a month ago

This is the closest I've felt to an Italian pizzeria since... Italy. I was looking around the whole time I was eating like ... Am I really in the basement of the Comcast building?! Eating like this?! It is so unprepossessing, with the feel, service, and pizza of a genuine neighborhood pizzeria in Testaccio. From the attention to fresh, local ingredients to the casual but elegant vibe of the place and the handmade, complimentary biscotti with the espresso... I honestly teared up a little. It's so hard to find a comfortably elegant place with a thoughtful, concise menu, reasonablly sized portions, and reasonable pricing. The seasonal caprese salad with the local peaches was an explosion of flavor because everything was local and seasonal and handmade and simple and perfect. It's a little piece of Testaccio in downtown Philly. How delightful to find this in the first floor of what looks like a corporate office building. Perfetto. 12/10.

I came to Salvy after a long shift , just wanting to take my slice home , and was delighted with the best service that made me feel like I could complete to more shifts! Jon miller , the server was so light hearted and kind. He immediately recognized me and assisted me with my order. I felt so seen. He offered me a seat and water which was much needed after a long night , as I waited on my Pizza to come out. I can’t wait to actually dine in at Salvy and I truly hope Jon is my server for the experience!

Booked pizzeria Salvy for a valentines dinner and felt a bit embarrassed after for picking this over all the selection in Philly! My main issue is the location / decor of the restaurant. It’s in the basement of the Comcast building and as you approach the restaurant it’s like being in the underground level of a mall. I feel like the restaurant could do more to make their section more intimate by having shutters around but instead you just see this open basement. We ordered the chopped salad, sals meatballs and fiorella sausage and peppers. The chopped salad sadly was not good and we ended up leaving most of it - had a super bitter taste. The meatballs were really great, wished ordered two instead of the salad. Pizza was okay, but honestly nothing to write home about. We did see Marc Vetri come in and make some pizzas towards the end which was pretty cool! Overall, I’d only recommend this restaurant if you work in the building. Excited to try some of Marc’s other locations but this just wasn’t it for an evening meal.

Amazing pizza and great service! I had such a lovely experience at this pizzeria in Philadelphia. The server was super kind, flexible, and very attentive the whole time. The pizza was absolutely delicious, you can tell everything is made fresh right there, even the ice cream! The ice cream was also fantastic, and we even got a little surprise treat with it, which was such a nice touch. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and warm service!

An unexpected location! The pizza was outstanding, with a casual vibe elevated by finesse in true Vetri style. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and the cocktails we tried were excellent. Definitely a spot worth seeking out.
