Thanks for the support guys. The restaurant was named Sandro’s up until 2008 when we decided to change it to Sal’s Jr. with the known intention of the grammatical error. Our intentions are to let the community know that this restaurant is in fact affiliated with Sal’s of Radford we think Sal Jr’s (with the correct grammer) wouldn’t send the message we wanted. I hope it clears the up. The oil pizza however was referring to the brucshetta pie which in fact, specified on the menu is made with extra virgin olive oil but with no sauce. The reviewer never tried our staple foods such as a regular type of pizza and our steak sandwiches but, you, the consumer are the ones to be the judge of that.

Thank kyou again for your interest in the restaurant!

Carl’s Jr. is so named because the restaurants are a smaller version of the original Carl’s Drive-in Barbeque. Does that still make it a grammatical error?

LOL Lindsey! As for Sal’s Jr. On the west coast Hardees is called Carl’s Jr. That has always bothered me. It’s a silly thing to be bothered about, but grammatical errors like that bug me.

If you don’t like garlic don’t eat Italian. I’ve been to all the Sal’s and all of them are the best Italian food around and, yes, I’ve tried the others and they good but nobody matches Sal’s or Sal’s Jr. Eat more garlic. It tastes good and it’s good for you.

That reminds me — we once had a waitress at an Italian restaurant (not this one) confirm our wine orders by saying, “OK, so you want a half-carafe of Chevrolet?”

What kills me is when restaurants blow stuff on menus that can be copied right OFF THE PACKAGING.

“Chardonay”
“Giness”
or my perennial favorite…”Ceasar”.

We love the place. The pizza is very well done and uses the right sausage. I’ve never had a bad meal there. It’s a shame it is too far away from us.

Agreed, Lindsey. Just because they can’t spell or punctuate properly doesn’t mean they can’t cook.

I’m a grammar snob, too, but I think if I based my patronage of restaurants on the grammatical accuracy of their signage and menus, I’d miss out on a lot of great food.
