Salute Brick Oven Bistro

Went in early on a Thursday for our daughter 's birthday (party of 3), about 6 tables were filled. One nice waiter. He let us know the pizza oven was broken and they were out of a few things on their short menu, and we ordered.

I was excited to try their artichoke flour pizza but was a bit disappointed. 22.00 for a gluten free personal size pizza and I know I ordered prosciutto on it but it was really salty and tasted a bit strange. I didn't complain because I hadn't eaten all day and was so hungry. My husband ordered the orecchiette pasta dish and said mine was so much better. So we paid a lot of money for mediocre food. Our server was attentive so that was nice.
