Let me start by saying I love Salpinos so it pains me to leave this review! That being said, I call them last week to reserve 2 loaves of the Italian Twist bread like I do when I order a turkey for Thanksgiving. The girl informed me they do not take orders unless you're also doing catering? Really??? So buying an unprepared turkey is catering! I don't think so. Anyway, we get there when they open at 8am, and there's a line which wasn't a surprise. 6 people in, this guy orders 40 LOAVES of twist bread...and THEY LET HIM!!!??? WTH???? Are you friggin kidding me????? This pretty much wipes out their entire inventory. So...2 things - HOW do you let ANYONE buyout your entire inventory of 1st come 1st serve bread???? HOW!!!??? The DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! No one has a family THAT BIG that they need 40 loaves. 2nd thing, so aside from keeping that in mind, I have to draw this conclusion, this guy must be reselling this bread...and Salpinos let them!!!! SHAME ON YOU BOTH!!! This guy was definitely gaming the system and was allowed!!! Thanks for partially ruining our Christmas Eve!!!! Great job! Now how about CHANGING YOUR POLICY TO GIVE EVERYONE A AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET WHAT THEY NEED!!! SET A MINIMUM AND LET US PREORDER SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO MAKE AND WE ALL CAN ENJOY OR HOLIDAYS!!! So disappointed in Salpinos! SMH...

The worker walked from the raw food counter to the cooked food counter and wanted to use the same gloves he touched raw meat with! Then pretended to change them when I asked him to. No one should have to ask for an employee to change their gloves while handling food! Totally unacceptable!

Recently ordered a sandwich with their homemade turkey. It was amazing. Salpinos has the Best sandwiches in town!! Amazing quality and my order was ready very quickly!

Great bakery for Italian pastries. We were sent here to get a selection of Italian pastries and everything was good. The selection isn’t huge but the quality is there. The shop has the fresh bakery that makes really good Italian pastries and cakes. Then they also have a ready to eat deli with a nice selection of meats, vegetables and antipasto’s. The grocery section was a little shabby (that is the reason for the 4 stars) and I would only go to the grocery section if I didn’t have time to go to a bigger market or if I needed some specialty item. The meat counter looks fresh but we haven’t tried anything from there. I would recommend this place for the bakery/pastries but the rest I would give a pass.

It is amazing how this family owned business keeps the consistency and quality of their brand no matter which store you go to. In particular, like Dix Hills, the bakery stood out to me here. If you're looking for a one stop shop for any occasion, this is the place!
