Note: Salvo's is a Bed-Stuy-based pop-up—the map address does not indicate exact physical location.
If you live in Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, or Ridgewood, congratulations—you can now DM a guy for an Italian sandwich, which will then be delivered to your home via moped. Salvo’s feels like an operation that could only exist in Brooklyn, and although the $16-$18 sandwiches are smaller than the ones you’ll find at Faicco’s or Defonte’s, the excitement of hearing a moped arrive outside during an otherwise normal workday is worth it at least once.
Keep an eye on Salvo’s Instagram for sandwich drops: offerings change weekly, but can involve things like mortadella, burrata, red pepper mayo and pistachio pesto. They also offer occasional lasagna pick-ups, and dinner pop-ups. If you don’t live in Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, or Ridgewood, choose a park between those areas on a warm day, for a picnic involving a sandwich and a guy on a moped.
