Not a bad place at all for a quick lunch while at the hotel. Outside seating overlooked the water gives a feel of Italy.
Wood fired pizzas, sandwichs, and salads.
Not overpriced either. A 14" handmade wood fired pizza for $20? What more can you ask for?
As a Central Florida resident, my husband and I are always keen on exploring areas and trying new to us food. Today, we decided to give Sal's Deli at the Portofino resort a try.
We got the veggie calzone which was large enough to feed both of us. It cost the same as the calzone at the pizza place around the corner from our house. Unlike the one around the corner from our house, this one was STUFFED with veggies. The red sauce that comes with it was also amazing, and I am not a red sauce fan.
Yes, you have to actively choose to come here, but once you're in City Walk, you can take the free water taxi (yes, they're free to everyone in City Walk) or walk the garden trail that exits out on the Universal Studios side, but it's worth it. As is just visiting the local resorts when you get a chance.
Pizza was decent. Service was really good. Very convenient when staying at lowes portofino bay hotel, it's 1 of their restraunts on site!
Sal’s is one of the best places to eat in all of Universal. Their pizza is very tasty and we loved the crust. The pizza paired very nicely with the wedge salad. Highly recommend.
This place is a hidden gem amongst so many other choices at Universal Orlando resorts. I'm from NJ and for me it is very difficult if not impossible to find brick oven pizza that is worthy to recommend to friends and family let alone write a review about. Sal's pizza is Worthy. Price is extremely fair considering you're at a theme park resort and outside of the pizza they have a huge assortment of beverages and deli items. We almost always get the Farm Pesto pie. Trust me you'll appreciate this place!
While enjoying our stay at Loews Portofino at Universal Orlando, we decided to give Sal's Market Deli a try for some pizza and sandwiches! We ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza, Garlic Breadsticks Pomodoro, and another member of our party ordered a Chicken Parmigiana Sub with a Side Caesar Salad. Everything was freshly made to order, tasted fantastic, and came in good portion sizes. The breadsticks had a very slight crunch on the outside and were warm and perfectly chewy on the inside. The chicken parm Sub was enough for the person in our party to take half back to the room, and the pizza was perfectly sized for two people to split and have a few slices left over. The atmosphere is quaint and the service was friendly!
Amazing deli with a wide selection of items! We found delicious juices, salads, snacks and all things pizzeria! Your food is made fresh to order and the service was friendly.
We had pizza and bread sticks the first visit. The second visit we got salads and subs which were incredible!!
What a find. We were looking for somewhere quiet and cool to have a bite to eat after leaving the noise and bustle of the Park. Discovered way above average food, excellent friendly service all in a comfortable setting. Not too formal or fussy. #greatfind #lunch #Portofino #Universal #vacation
Located in Portofino Bay right on the harbor this place is amazing. Expensive food, but everything is expensive at these resorts. The food and service here is excellent tho. The cheese platter is really good. We also had pizza and mozzarella sticks. They were very very good too. They’ve got premade snacks and drinks too. So if you are in a hurry you can run in and grab something to go.
Above average pizza and subs. Slow service. Side of olives was huge!
