Salisbury’s Pizza opened earlier this week in Casa Linda plaza, in the space that used to Be Home Soon.  Will and Julie Salisbury wanted to open a family friendly and less expensive place to eat.  When they took the lease they did all the re-modeling themselves and bought furnishings through various re-sale venues.  They decorated the walls with family and significant photos.  He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and her background is as a sommelier.  They both previously worked at more upscale and expensive restaurants and wanted to do something different.  One of Will’s first jobs was at Tony D’s pizza place in New York and that experience inspired the creation of Salisbury’s.   They’d been open about 4 days when we went and had gotten a nice food write up in The Dallas Morning News by Sarah Blaskovich so we made a reservation.  Glad we did as the place was packed with people waiting for tables and pies to go.  In fact our server advised us to order by the slice rather than a whole pie as they would take at least one hour to get to our table and the slices were being made all the time.  I’m hoping that these service issues can be worked out as they settle out with crowds because I’d much rather have a whole pie.  However, as we were with my nephew we could order more styles and try lots of combinations so we’ll know what we want when we go back.  I liked his crust and sauce and what you get on it is a personal preference for sure.  They also had some cocktails and a nice selection of wines.  I hope you’ll try it too and let me know what you think.
