Bringing a Slice of the Big Apple to The District

When Sal & Mookie's first opened its doors in Fondren back in 2007, it filled a crucial gap in Jackson's pizza landscape. At a time when chain restaurants dominated the scene, this local gem brought authentic New York-style pizza with a creative twist to the heart of Mississippi.

In 2021, Sal & Mookie's made a bold move to The District at Eastover, carrying with them the same commitment to quality that made them a Jackson favorite. Every day, their kitchen buzzes with the preparation of fresh dough from scratch, ready to be transformed into their signature pies that pay homage to New York City landmarks.

"A lot of things that we've crafted are very interesting combinations of very tasty things," says Jeff Good, who co-founded the restaurant. "The core idea was to do that New York-style pizza with the floppy crust and the big-slice experience and that wonderful taste of that red sauce."

Sal & Mookie's continues to serve up crowd favorites like the infamous Rikers Island – their everything-on-it masterpiece – and the punk-rock inspired CBGB's. "That's the pizza you want to eat late at night if you've been out all night long," Good says about the CBGB's, loaded with red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, roasted garlic, and red onions.

The new location maintains the restaurant's family-friendly atmosphere, complete with a viewing window where kids can watch pizza-making in action (and an ice cream window for after-school walk ups outside). For the grown-ups, there's an extensive bar menu. From traditional subs to creative pizzas, fresh salads to decadent ice cream treats, Sal & Mookie's remains true to its Spike Lee movie inspiration: "Do The Right Thing."

As Good puts it: "This is a decadent place. This is a place to really let it all hang out. And, loosen your belt."
