Went to Salvatore's last night for a combined B-Day Meal. Mine and my Aunt's. The place was hopping at 7pm (Friday) I'm glad they take and we had a reservation. By 8:30 however the place was much quieter and would have been easy to get a walk in table. \n\nStarters - the salad special of the evening: Lots of local fresh veggies and a house-made dressing. My mother and aunt thought said dressing was spicy - the rest of us not so much. The salad and/dressing could have used a sprinkling of salt and pepper. But was overall a success. Also had the House-Made Burrata: Fresh Mozzarella stuffed with feathered curd. This also came with nice local greenery, roasted garlic and killer house-made croutons. \n\nPizzas - we ordered three and that was more than enough for the 5 of us. We essentially took home the equivalent of 1.5 pizzas. \n\nWe ordered the nightly special pizza - the farmers market special (sans the jalape\u00f1os - Mom and Aunt's aversion to anything spicy). This was a veggie pizza given my Aunt is a vegetarian. It was loaded with fresh, local veggies - although I would have preferred it with the jalape\u00f1os. We also ordered the #4 (house-made Italian Sausage) and the #11 (smoked Gouda, mushrooms, and bacon. \n\nThe 4 and the 11 were standouts. I'm not sure which I preferred more. Doesn't matter because I've got the leftovers in my fridge. I'm very picky about pizza. This is now perhaps one of two or maybe three places I'm willing to go to for pizza. It's worth the trip to Sun Prairie from the greater Madison area. Salvatore's commitment to quality local ingredients shows. \n\nOne note if you are coming from Madison on 151, the sign for West Main is going to take you the wrong direction on West Main when exiting from 151.
