Our Story

Salvatore Pizza began as a small family pizzeria in Naples, Italy, where the art of pizza making was passed down through generations. In 2010, the Salvatore family brought their authentic recipes and techniques to California, determined to share their passion for traditional Italian pizza with a new audience.

What started as a single location has grown into multiple pizzerias across California, each maintaining the same commitment to quality and tradition. We import key ingredients directly from Italy while sourcing fresh produce locally, creating a perfect fusion of Italian heritage and California innovation.

Today, Salvatore Pizza is known for our authentic wood-fired pizzas, made using century-old techniques and the finest ingredients. We remain family-owned and operated, with the third generation of Salvatores now learning the craft.
