McSalty's Pizza - Springfield, Mo (review)
Today I tried McSalty's Pizza in Springfield, Missouri.. Trying McSalty's has been on my "To Do" list for a few weeks now. I went to the old McSalty's on Sunshine (there is a new one by Big Whiskey's on Battlefield). I like the design and feel of the building from the outside, but it is tucked away and may be hard to spot from the road unless you are looking for it. Inside the atmosphere was rather impressive. I had expected old or shabby as you get with a lot of mom and pop places. But it was pretty new, well lit and inviting. It was a lot classier of a crowd too, most of the patrons looked like they were on their lunch breaks from offices.
As I do with most places I checked out their menu online before going. A whole pizza was a bit out of my price range, but every day from 11-2 they have a slice of pizza for $2.49. They offer two flavors to choose from. The flavors vary from day to day, but they have what they will be listed on their website. I went with "The Meathead" which is pepperoni, beef and italian sausage. The pizza was really good, but at about $2.68 a slice after taxes, pretty expensive! (I of course skipped on the drink and got it to go, adding a tip on would have really sent the price through the roof and I drinks area always so high at restaurants I can save a buck by swining through the nearest McDonald's for a drink). If I had dined in, for the one slice of pizza, a drink and $1.00 tip it probably would have been over $6.00 and I still would have been hungry.
From what I could tell they have premaid pizzas and when you order the pizza by the slice they cut a piece off and then bake it in the oven. So you don't have that "I've been sitting under a heat lamp for 3 hours" dry taste. The pizza slices aren't very big, just the normal sized slice you would get at Pizza Hut, Domino's or Mazzio's. For the price, that kinda sucks! I'm a big guy and one slice of pizza is more like an appetizer than a "lunch".
For the to go order they put it in a paper place, and gave it to me in a small cardboad pizza box with napkins.
Nothing really stands out in my mind about the meat topping. However I did really like their cheese and the crust was good. The crust was very crispy and tasted handmade as opposed to frozen dough.
So over all McSalty's great atmosphere, good food, but cost prohibitive to my budget at least.
