You know, Sal’s.
The pizza place with a fish sandwich so good that Robin Garr recommended it during Lent in 2021.
Luckily, one of my favorite neighborhood pubs, Sal’s Pizza Pub in Lyndon, has both good old-school pizza and one of the best fried-cod sandwiches around.
Sal’s Pizza Pub (812 Lyndon Lane) is the creation of Scott Canfield, who has decided to give retirement a second chance, hence his decision to shutter the 12-year-old pizzeria and sports bar at the end of December. However, the passing of one eatery will help enable another. Canfield is helping to ready his longtime general manager Jo Harp to own her own restaurant on Lexington Road, where current employees and kitchen equipment will gravitate after Sal’s is gone.
Just about everyone wins, it seems. Here’s more.
Small Plates: Sal’s Pizza Pub in Lyndon plans to close in December, by Michael L. Jones (Louisville Business First)
Before his first retirement at 50, Canfield owned several Road Runner Pizza locations in Louisville. He sold them along with his family businesses, Canfield Cash Registers and Equine Organics, a company he founded that hauled horse straw for Churchill Downs.
“I retired for seven years and then I got bored,” he remembered. “I was looking for something to bid my time and then I opened Sal’s.”
Canfield named his business Sal’s Pizza Pub because he thought the name was short and sweet. There is no actual Sal involved with the establishment.
