"The pizza here is bland, watery and lacking in flavor but York Avenue doesn't have high standards. The reason for this review is that the dining shed in front of Salvo's is partially blocking the crosswalk sign so you can't fully see it on the other side of the street. Considering the 4 lanes of often speeding traffic on York and the 2 one way streets turning into the intersection, that is especially dangerous. Couple this with the fact that Mano, the beloved bodega worker across the street died crossing this intersection to get a slice at Salvo's and was fatally struck by a taxi, we already know this is a dangerous intersection. There is also an elementary school, library, post office on the block and John Jay Park down the street. This dining shed hasn't been used in months and is taking up space and while I couldn't care less if there is one less parking spot, I don't want to see someone struck in this intersection again. Please (re)move this shed. Update: gratitude to the Department of Transportation as within two days of complaining to 311 that this business blocked a pedestrian traffic signal with the roof of their disused dining shed, the dining shed was moved several feet away from the intersection in question. I can only hope that Salvo's received a large fine for the unsafe conditions that they perpetuated."
