This place was high on a list of places to eat at in Salem Oregon. A co-worker told me this place looked really good and was rated well, so we all decided to go one night for dinner. The menu option here were plenty. They had appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pizza and dessert. They also seemed to have had a really great happy hour that we had just missed. So what did I end up getting? I was decently hungry and a whole pizza sounded like the perfect portion. I ended up ordering the Butcher's Wife which had a really interesting flavor combination of ingredients. It had Sausage, Olive Oil, Herbed Ricotta, Caramelized Onion, Balsamic Glaze and a Honey Drizzle. What I liked most was the crispy, yet fluffy crust and the thinness of the dough. It's the perfect combination of chewy, airy and crispiness that made the dough really good (as long as its not burnt). Really reminded me of a crust The toppings were good, but I felt like the flavors could have been enhanced a little or spread out more evenly so each bite had more consistency. I felt like the prices were a little high, but not extreme. Higher prices usually comes from quality ingredients and/or inflation and paying livable wages. However the price of the food outweighed the portion size. Would I come here again if I visited Salem again? Yes I would. Is it a place I would frequent often? Maybe here and there or for a date. read more

Great service, nice casual pizza place. The pizza is fresh and cooked in a wood oven. Nice selection of local beers and cider. If you're looking for a nice meal just outside downtown definitely check it out! Each pizza is personal size, get a few to share to try all the fun flavors read more

First time coming here after seeing recommendations while visiting in Oregon. Ordered a bruschetta board, while it looks aesthetically pleasing. The flavors were kinda all over the place. Only one of the three actually tasted good. The fig jam bruschetta had wayyyy too much jam and sweetness. We were recommended their seasonal "Strawberry Fields" and it was disgusting. The cheese tasted a little sour. I know bruschetta boards are about trying new things and different flavors but it was very disappointing. As for the pizza, they are personal sized thin crust pizza. The pizzas were good and tasted fresh, but the crust is so thin that it falls apart picking it up. I got the "Brought the Farm" pizza and they threw a pile of arugula on top. I kind of expected it to be mixed or baked into the pizza. The mangonada slushie was really good but the wine slushie was awful. This place is definitely a social brunch & snacking type of place and not an actual lunch spot. It was very expensive to feed everyone individually. But the staff was really friendly and attentive overall. read more

These pizzas are amazing. So delicious, from just the crust to the wonderful combination of toppings. Pizzas came out fast, the ambience was light and clean, and the pies were reasonably priced. Service was great. So so good!! This place is now bookmarked for us if we're passing through on the way from the coast back to Portland! read more

Came here while visiting Salem and have been here before on the rooftop. We had the Rosso E Verde pizza, which included the smoked Marinara sauce. Sounds really good but as for taste I could not detect any smokiness -- the sauce tasted the same as our other pizza which had the regular marinara. Both our pizzas were pretty good and service was friendly. Would be a 4 star review but subtracting a star because they could not omit cheese from half a pizza. For the non-cheese eater you either have to pick off the cheese or order an extra pizza -- which is kind of pricy at $24 a pie including tip. read more

We stopped here for a quick lunch and it was quick indeed. The pizza arrived fresh and hot from the oven, had a thin crust just how I like it. I only wish it had a bit more of the mushrooms. I guess I should have asked for more, not sure if that would have worked? But over all I had a pleasant experience and the staff there was great as well. Btw, love what they have done with the plants all over the place. read more

I was recently in Salem for a work trip and had the pleasure of dining at Basil & Board one of the evenings. The location itself looks brand new. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy and they keep it very clean. The staff were very friendly and offered great menu recommendations. We started off with the bruschetta board. The "that's my jam" was my favorite. The prosciutto with Brie and fig jam was a great combo. For dinner we shared an Aglio pizza. An excellent recommendation from the staff. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in Salem. read more

Tonight we met friends here for dinner who live in Salem, we came from Newberg. I had made reservations for the outdoor patio a few weeks prior as it looked great. The outdoor patio was great. Service was good but not great. Food was also good but not to die for. Glad we went but was not something I have to drive an hour for again but if I lived closer by would go again, I liked my sandwich. Glad we went and checked it out though. read more

This restaurant has ample parking and the choice of sitting inside or on the rooftop. We went on a Saturday around 6 pm. We had reservations for the rooftop but noticed signs stating there were bees. We decided to sit there and take our chances. When we arrived to the rooftop, there were 4 staff conversing about something really important. We were sat and weren't greeted until we put our menus down. The server took both our drink and food orders after completing the first chapter of the very important conversation she was having with her colleagues. Our drinks were delivered in a relatively short time but our salads and pizza were delivered at the same time. If I knew this ahead of time, I would have ordered a salad first and then ordered the pizza once the salad arrived. In the meantime, the Yellowjackets kept us company while the staff continued on their very important conversation. The salad and pizza had a good flavor and was very fresh. Our bill stated all staff share tips. After reading this, I understood why our service was less than stellar. If I could give 2.5 stars, I would. read more

This place is quite spectacular! The chicken pesto was on point!! Look at the crisp on the bread and you tell me if that taste good or not. The sandy was a lil petite but still filling nonetheless. My hot date thought the pizza was one of the best she's ever had. Bold ah statement but still really good. I found the red bell peppers to seem a bit overpowering but maybe the pizza may have tasted bland without it? The crust and sauce was top 5. The server with the bun was quite nice. This spot was quite the vibe. We'll be back again! read more

We were going to the Silverton Christmas Market on a Saturday night and wanted to stop off in Salem for some dinner. Our family is vegan, and we were meeting friends who eat anything. First, we found it strange that you could make a reservation for 1-6 people but not 7-9. We had 9 total with both families. So we made a reservation for 5 and one for 4, then called to ask if we could combine. That was no issue. But it was strange. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy and we got right to our table. The kids sat at one end and we sat at the other. Our server was great, especially how she was clandestine when she asked both us and our friends if the kids could have cookies with the kids pizzas. As vegans, we had plenty of choices. My daughter ordered a build your own pizza and we ordered vegan pizzas from the menu. My son always just wants a meaty and cheesy vegan pizza so we asked if we could get the kids pizza made vegan withvegan cheese and pepperoni. The server said it was no problem. We got our food and everyone but my son was eating well. But he wasn't complaining he just didn't eat any of the topping. When I was putting the pizza into foil, I noticed that the cheese and pepperoni looked different from my daughter's pizza since she got pepperoni on her build your own. Well, it wasn't vegan. That brought me from a 4 to a 3 star. We paid extra for the vegan options and he didn't eat them because he tasted it and said it tasted bad. We didn't see our server again before we left, so no one ever communicated the mistake to her. I asked my husband to do that before we left, while I went to put base layers on in the restroom. I assumed he did that, and asked about it in the car and he said the server never came back and he didn't ask. It's definitely our fault for not communicating the mistake and not realizing until we were leaving, but it was a big error for the kitchen. If we had a dairy allergy, which I do, it would have been a big issue. I felt sad, because my son didn't get a chance to say no to animal products, but happy that he didn't like it and didn't eat it. So this issue definitely gave me a 3 versus a 4 star experience. The pizza itself is good. I had the Vegan Isle of the Gods and my husband had the Vegan Bought the Farm. The flavor is great. You aren't overloaded with any particular topping, and everything was fresh. The crust was great. Brick oven fired for sure with a nice crispy crust. The only issue for me, is that because it's a thin crust, you'll have to fold it if you want the toppings to stay on. I personally would rather use a knife and fork. I would definitely be willing to go back and give it another try but I would 100% be double checking my kids order to ensure it was right. It's a cute spot and I would love to try the rooftop patio in the summer! read more

What a great experience! I was visiting from Colorado and wanted to try a local restaurant. Locales near downtown, Basil and Board delivered what I needed after a day of work. My group of 8 was a wasted promptly and the service was good. We got a few of the fancy toasts aka bruschetta boards and all delivered in flavor. My favorite was Dante's Sister; loved the cherry jam with the savory prosciutto, and spicy arugula. I am picky when it comes to pizza, but Basil & Board exceeded my expectations. I loved the San Marzano sauce and two day proofed crust was just the right thickness. read more

First time back since the pandemic began. Still the same great food and drinks. Love that they have Hibiscus is cider (La Familia) on tap. I tried their lunch special 1/2 Panini and a Bruschetta from their pick 2. I choose the grown-up grilled cheese and added bacon and the pears in France bruschetta. I subbed gluten free bread for both of these items and they were delish. Friendly staff! They kept checking on me while waiting for a friend. My friend got a pizza and loved it. Can't wait for warmer weather for roof top. Seats on main floor seem more geared towards groups than smaller parties, however, plenty of seating a lunch. Metal chairs were uncomfortable, but look cool. Big bums prefer square chairs read more

We had pizza and a fig/brie bruschetta. The bruschetta was excellent. The service was good. The pizzas had good flavor however they were grossly undercooked. You could not pick up a slice of pizza and eat it the way pizza should be eaten. I had to use a knife a fork - nobody should eat pizza with a knife and fork. A real shame because, again, good flavor. read more

Basil & Board - Bar area and seating - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

We had a horrible experience here. The service was horrid, and they tried to put two illegal charges on the bill. We had 4 adults, 1 kid, and 1 toddler. I ordered a pizza that comes with Italian sausage. As I cannot eat pork, I requested that the sausage be placed on the side since the waitress indicated that they don't allow a substitution of one meat for another when I requested chicken. Fine; I thought someone else at my table can eat the Italian sausage. My pizza was supposed to come with honey sauce on it; it came with none. However, our waitress didn't come once to check on us after our food arrived even though she checked on the table next to us. I got up myself to go complain and requested the sauce it was supposed to come with. 5 minutes passed, and the waitress didn't come back. I got up again and spoke with the supervisor gal. She said that she would not charge the honey sauce (which she shouldn't since it's literally listed as an ingredient on the pizza!). The check came, and we were charged both $3 for the sausage - even though it also came on the pizza and I had just asked for it on the side because I can't eat pork due to a health condition. When I came back to ask the supervisor to remove it, she said she wouldn't... even though I repeated that the meat came with the pizza I had ordered! But, the worst part was that they had added a 25% (!!) gratuity! I looked at the menu, and nothing of the sort was indicated. When I complained, the supervisor said that they add it for parties of over 6. I said we were not over 6; we had 5 and a toddler in diapers. She sent me to look at their small sign in the front of the restaurant. It said that they can add an 18% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. I told her it did not allow for 25% and we didn't ever agree to that, plus we literally only had 4 adults, 1 kid, 1 baby! When I asked why they were charging 25% and not the 18% listed, she said that we were a difficult table, so that's why they raised it to 25%! Um, what??!! That is not legal for them to do. Please stay away; this is fundamentally wrong. We ultimately paid the full amount of what we'd ordered but no more. She came and took a photo of our license plate, but good luck doing anything. We paid for exactly what we ordered (plus $.50 since I didn't have change). Good riddance. read more

Basil & Board is a popular pizza spot in the Salem area. It's a pretty cool, popular modern spot. It definitely looked promising from the outside. Cheesy Garlic Bread (5 Stars*****) - FANTASTIC! This was the first dish that arrived at our table and we were both excited for the rest of our meal. If we were staying longer in the area, we wanted to come back just for this Pizza (2 stars**) - Super disappointing. It was just so soggy and didn't hold its form well. I was excited for the San marzano tomatoes in the sauce but it didn't have much flavor or they didn't use enough. read more

So much potential for amazing pizza. The quality varies depending on how busy they are. If you go when it is less busy and ask for the pizza to be cooked crispy, it can be really really good. If pizza isn't what you are looking for I have always found the sandwiches to be consistently good. read more

It absolutely pains me to leave this review but I felt it necessary. This is one of my favorite local restaurants and the food is great. The cheesy garlic bread is life changing. I felt compelled to leave only three stars because the service last night was so interesting. All of our food showed up on time, tasted great, and our tabs were split correctly and timely. However our server had this attitude that she didn't really want to help us the entire time we were there. Something about her demeanor made everyone at the table feel like "I'm helping you because I have to, not because I want to." Little things like tone, body language, and overall attitude were generally poor and dismissive. Other than that, we'll be back -- just hopefully she's having a better night/attitude. read more

Delicious! Big group and all the food was perfect- salads and sandwiches were especially good!

This place has lived up to its hype. My partner and I stopped in for lunch and craft your own pizzas and they were delicious! There are so many fun toppings to try! We got two pizzas, one with olives, caramelized onions, roasted beats and balsamic drizzle, and another with buffalo mozzarella, Canadian bacon and artichoke hearts. Trying all of the fun toppings was great but for lunch we could have gone with splitting one pizza but ended up getting two because one of us is veggie and they don't do half toppings here. read more

We showed up here on Sunday at 11:30 and they were not open. The door signs say they open at 11. All online listings say they open at 11. There wasn't a single person in sight. Very disappointing as we're meeting friends here with a baby's who has medical reasons, needing to sit outside, influencing our choice. It looks like they have nice outdoor seating on the roof if they are open. If you aren't open, update your information please. The voicemail even states they open at 11. read more

Cute vibe, great seating options (can you say rooftop?!), but difficult parking. How can you go wrong with a plethora of bruschetta flavors? The lunch special is great, offering plenty of fresh options. The Caesar salad portion is larger than you would expect for a lunch special. The 1948 bruschetta was yummy, but I felt like it was missing something. Balsamic glaze on top? More garlic than the pesto had? All in all, a great spot for a quick bite or a nice, affordable meal. read more

Worth the wait & worth the price. Discounted first order on Grubhub definitely got my foot in the door. If you've got a group or big appetite I recommend the Cheesy Gahhhhlic Bread to start. It's thick & loaded with cheese. We added Capicola, yum! My husband was very satisfied with the Isle of the Gods, as was I with the Nolan. We both had really long work days & were happy to see Basil & Board on Grubhub. Our order arrived clean, warm & had everything we ordered. Only knock was no available beverages or desserts. I was hoping to try it all. I'm looking forward to trying the next pizza. Or perhaps the wraps or salads, the photos look delicious. read more

It's good, but I don't see how it stands out among other trendy places in the downtown Salem area. The alcohol selection is good, and the service is good. Those are reasons to come back. The Oregonzola salad was not terribly flavorful, and the Gahhhlic bread needed the marinara in order to really give it flavor. I didn't get to try the bruschetta, so maybe that's what I really need to try. However, everything is on the pricier side unless you come for happy hour or get one of the deals on the second page of the menu. I prefer not to spend this much for this kind of food. read more
