Our Signature Salads
Our Most Popular Salad
Goat Cheese & Spinach
A generous bed of tender baby spinach topped with golden roasted pine nuts, creamy goat cheese medallions, and finished with our house-made honey balsamic vinaigrette. The warm goat cheese contrasts perfectly with the cool, earthy spinach.
A Forni Original

The Best Salads in Falls Church, VA
Falls Church has no shortage of restaurants, but finding a salad that is genuinely worth ordering can be surprisingly hard. Most menus treat salads as an afterthought: bagged greens, bottled dressing, a few token toppings. Forni Pizza & Sandwich takes the opposite approach. Our salads are built with the same care and quality we put into our wood-fired pizzas, because a great meal starts with great ingredients regardless of what form they take.
Fresh Greens, Every Morning
The foundation of any good salad is the greens, and ours arrive fresh every morning. Baby spinach for the Goat Cheese & Spinach salad, crisp romaine hearts for the Caesar Salad, and ripe heirloom tomatoes for the Caprese. We do not use pre-bagged, pre-washed greens or ingredients that have been sitting in a cooler for days. When you order a salad at Forni, you are getting produce that was delivered that day.
House-Made Dressings That Make the Difference
A salad is only as good as its dressing, and at Forni, every dressing is made in-house from scratch. Our honey balsamic vinaigrette balances sweetness with acidity and pairs perfectly with the earthy baby spinach and tangy goat cheese. The house Caesar is bold and garlicky, with enough body to coat each romaine leaf without drowning it. And the basil pesto on our Heirloom Caprese brings bright, herbaceous flavor that ties together the burrata and tomatoes. You will not find a squeeze bottle of store-bought dressing anywhere in our kitchen.
Quality Ingredients in Every Salad
One of the things that truly sets Forni apart is our commitment to quality in every dish. Our Caesar Salad features crisp romaine hearts, garlic croutons, shaved parmesan, and our house-made Caesar dressing. The garlic croutons are baked fresh, giving them a crunch and depth that standard croutons simply cannot match. Every ingredient is chosen for flavor and freshness, and it shows in every bite.
Premium Ingredients, No Compromises
Every salad on our menu features premium, carefully sourced ingredients. The Goat Cheese & Spinach salad is topped with hand-sliced goat cheese medallions and roasted pine nuts, not crumbled cheese from a bag. The Heirloom Caprese uses fresh burrata, the kind with a creamy stracciatella center that melts across the plate when you cut into it. Our aged balsamic reduction is the real thing: thick, sweet, and concentrated. These details add up. They are the reason our regulars order the same salad every visit and the reason first-time guests are surprised by how much flavor a simple salad can deliver.
A Complete Dining Experience
Forni is more than just salads. Our 100% halal wood-fired pizzas, baked at 800 degrees in our custom stone oven, are among the most popular in Falls Church.

Many guests pair a salad with a pizza or panini for a complete meal, and our generous salad portions mean you will not leave hungry.
