Sal's Authentic NY Pizza Highland Park serves New York-style pizza from 1/2 Dunrobin Place in Highland Park, Manukau City, and holds a 4.4 Google rating. It is part of a homegrown New Zealand chain best known for its oversized slices.
New York-style is its own discipline: wide slices stretched thin enough to fold, a base that is crisp underneath yet chewy through the middle, and a sauce kept tangy rather than sweet. The fold test tells you most of what you need to know — a proper slice bends without cracking and keeps its toppings where they belong. Slices are often reheated straight on the oven floor, which re-crisps the base in a way a microwave never will. Regulars buy by the slice, eat in hand, and time it for when the cheese still stretches.
On Dunrobin Place, it keeps that kind of slice within easy reach of East Auckland.
