The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and lively, and the whole experience was fantastic. Such a great spot for a casual dinner or a fun night out with friends. Everything was flavorful and well prepared, and the staff made us feel welcome. Definitely a place I'd come back to. Highly recommend! read more

Had great service here. Came by around 3 on a weekday, they were offering their midday menu which consisted of charcuterie or pizza. Happily tried a pizza - their charcuterie was a bit off-putting because you pay per item, and typically when I want a charcuterie I want multiple items in small amounts so I could sample lots of things. I also don't want to have to think about what items to choose from. Maybe that's just me. Regardless, I also had a mocktail & it was great. The Plum 75 if I'm not mistaken. Our server was kind and knowledgeable, pizza tasted fresh and full of flavor. read more

Our group of 16 was genuinely excited to dine at The Salty Pig in downtown Boston, hoping it would become a regular spot on our list. While the kitchen delivered a solid meal, the service was so profoundly disappointing that it completely overshadowed the food. The culinary side of things easily earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. We ordered a wide variety of items to share, and the highlights included: * The Pizzas: Creative flavor combinations with fresh, high-quality toppings and fantastic crusts. * The Bucatini Pasta: Perfectly cooked and packed with rich flavor. * The Asparagus Appetizer & The Chicken Milanese: Both executed well, flavorful, and cooked to a high standard. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience was uniformly horrible. For a large party, hospitality can make or break the night, and our server missed the mark at every single turn: * Argumentative & Dismissive: He actively argued with our host regarding an appetizer that had been ordered in advance. When asked about vegetarian substitutions for a sold-out pasta dish, he curtly replied, "Pasta with butter is all we can do"--despite the fact that we could clearly see a wide variety of fresh vegetables being used right on their pizzas. * Inattentive: Dirty dishes piled up on our table, and when we politely asked for them to be cleared, he claimed he needed to get help and walked away completely empty-handed. Our drink orders were rarely checked on or refilled. * Rude to Guests: He displayed visible attitude and put-off body language whenever anyone asked a simple question. This peaked when he was outright rude to one of the young women in our party who simply wanted to put her order in a bit early because she had to leave before the rest of the group. It is a real shame because the ingredients and the kitchen's output are genuinely good. However, between the hostile attitude and the lack of basic service standards, we unfortunately won't be rushing back. UPDATE: Angela reached out after my review and was apologetic and very sorry. We will give it another try!! read more

I was originally going to give them a 3 but my family was right it's more of a 3.5 and I should round it to a 4. The reason is the service was so slow. There were seating inside and outside. Inside was a lot larger than it looks. But they were understaffed and our waitress was running between both areas. When we could get her attention she was incredibly polite and professional but she could only do so much. After we ordered it too over 20 minutes for a proscutto cotto sandwich and two Margherita pizzas to come out. She was kind enough to ask them to add an egg to the sandwich which is usually added to a pizza. The sandwich was basically a fancy ham sandwich which was still pretty good. The egg elevated it in my opinion. The pizzas were also good, chewy dough, fresh ingredients, and not too charred. Then we looked for her to get the check. It took another 20 minutes before we could leave. The process just took too long. read more

If you want great service you need to come here and ask for Liana. I've come here many times and she has been my server a couple of times always with a smile and extremely overattentive making sure that my experience is great. Also the food is amazing and their expression Martinez are great. Right across from the back bay station this is a must come to spot for small or large groups. They're charcuterie broad and brick oven pizza are very fresh and great for large groups. The atmosphere is spacious great table tops available for single or large groups. I personally like the bar with their TV and wine selection on display. read more

Came to The Salty Pig for dinner around 5pm on a Saturday and got lucky with immediate seating despite not having a reservation. We ordered the Salsiccia pizza and the linguine. The linguine was on the smaller side portion-wise, but it came loaded with mussels and shrimp. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a nice tangy, flavorful profile that really stood out. The Salsiccia pizza was good--plenty of toppings for its size and a well-balanced amount of cheese and sauce. What kept it from being great, if I'm being a bit hyper critical, was the crust. It leaned too doughy and lacked the crispness and airy texture you'd expect; the closest comparison I can think of is something like an Olive Garden breadstick. Service was okay--nothing particularly impressionable--but the ambience made up for it. The space felt warm, trendy, and like the perfect spot for a casual dinner. Overall, a solid spot with well-executed dishes, especially the pasta, and a pizza that's definitely enjoyable with just a small detail holding it back from the next level. read more

Originally wanted to come here to try their pasta, but unfortunately wasn't able to make the timing to arrive during dinner. Instead I ordered their prosciutto board and got their prosciutto, sausage, and pimento cheese. The waiter explained that most of their ingredients are fresh from the local area, and certain ingredients are imported from Italy. Honestly, it was just a great board overall. The prosciutto was soft and had a delicate texture to it. The bread was toasted, but not crunchy enough to make it difficult to pair with the cheeses or meat. Overall just a great spot, would love to come back sometime and try their pasta. read more

Great patio - our waiters were all super nice, friendly and attentive. We ordered salty pig (for obvious reasons - if it's named after the restaurant you should probably get it) and it was FANTASTIC, we wished we would've ordered two of those. We also had the cucumber ceasar salad - the waitress advice that we add prosciutto and it was fantastic! I'm almost certain we could live off of that alone. They also had a fabulous NA rose that I wish I would've gotten the name of, my friends agreed that it tasted like the real deal. read more

I ordered a simple margarita pizza for lunch, and it was very good. The crust is thin and crispy (like a thick cracker) and there was a lot of flavorful cheese and tomatoes on top. I could have used more basil, but was too busy munching down the crust to notice much. Because "salty" is in the restaurant name, there were extra sprinkles of salt flakes on top of my pizza. I think salt-lovers would have loved it, but I could have done without it. Note to self: Ask staff to hold off on the extra salt next time. read more

On a BOS layover downtown we decided to try this place for convenience and for table availability with a fairly reasonable wait. Ordered the staple pizza and a pasta, but before that.. I could not try a cheese and meat board you can mix and match to your liking. Quick and attentive servers are available to answer any questions you might have Thumbs up read more

I really enjoyed the food here! It has a casual but trendy and upbeat vibe. We ordered the hot honey sopresseto pizza, meatballs, linguine with mussels and shrimp, rigatoni with pork bolognese, and bucatini. The pizza was so good! The sauce is the star of the pizza. It has a good balance of tanginess, spiciness and sweetness. The meatballs were phenomenal! It was so good that we placed a 2nd order. read more

From the moment we walked in the service was amazing. The hostess sat us right away and we were able to order fairly quickly. Our server was kind offered options and was patient with our order, especially since we had children that we were ordering pizza. Although it took a little time for the pizzas to be made, we could clearly see that they were being made by hand and that they were being prepared in a traditional fire. Overall, the pizza was fantastic and especially the pizza that My Daughter ordered, which was the Margherita pizza with the sausage and mushrooms. Sausage is made in house and with the mushroom combined just created a delicious pizza. Even hours later having a cold slice felt like heaven.:) read more

Don't skip the build your own charcuterie boards! Great assortment of meats, cheeses (loved the goat cheese option), and mix of accompaniments (pickles, mustard, almonds!). You can really make the board your own. Pizza was also awesome. Service was attentive and super friendly. Staff were quick to get refills, things when we needed it, answered questions about menu, etc. Restaurant has an outdoor patio and indoor seating. We sat inside which had a lively vibe.

I still dream about the verde pizza! As people who don't eat pork, we still found that we weren't missing out on much by not ordering anything with meat in it.

The waiters are usually friendly and the inside is a vibe. read more

I've been to salty pig a couple of times and it's always a solid spot. The charcuterie was my favorite part of the menu and it's nice that they give you unlimited fresh grilled bread.

Came for their pizza, but left more impressed with their chicken piccata. Don't get me wrong, the pizza was still good, but just felt like something was missing. It tasted pretty bland and thank goodness for chili pepper flakes, because that saved the day. Chicken piccata on the other hand, was delicious. The chicken was so juicy and not tough at all! I didn't really enjoy the arugula salad that came with it though. It was too sour for me but my husband really enjoyed it. Service was so so. I liked how they leave a whole bottle of water at your table so you can just refill yourself. read more

Really good experience at the Salty Pig. Good service? Check. Good atmosphere? Check. Good food? Check. We had never been before but got recommended here by a friend. We made a reservation beforehand and we are glad we did -- it's pretty packed on Friday nights. We ordered the peach and tomato salad and absolutely loved it. The drinks were pretty standard, nothing to write home about but we weren't disappointed. We ordered one pizza and it was affordable and good for two people. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend. All around good experience. read more

Super convenient location right across from the Amtrak stop in BBY, with options for pizza, pasta, and meat/cheese boards. Great if you love pork, though, unexpectedly, they also have abundant veggie options under the Starters, including an amazing gem lettuce salad with fennel, parmesan, and bread crumbs, as well as a beet, chive, pistachio, and arugula combo. If none of those is calling your name, the appetizers include a burrata, a Caesar grilled romaine, as well as roasted root veggies. Super refreshing, especially when it's a gazillion degrees outside. Also liked the bucatini and how thoroughly coated in the sauce it was, thought the pasta was a little more al dente and saltier than I liked. The salsiccia pizza was, for me, the weakest of the dishes we ordered - nothing offensive or mind-blowing, but the meatiness ended up being one-note after a few bites (and I would've wanted more of the spicy cherry peppers!). The crust of the pizza comes lightly dusted in semolina flour. If you nab a seat indoors by the bar area, you can watch the pizza-makers doing their thing. For two starters, one pasta, and one pizza, for 3 people, the total came out to about $78 before tip. Not bad, especially given this stretch of the Back Bay neighborhood, where the options mostly consist of either fast casual or high-end places. The food came out quickly, so also a great place to grab a bite before your train. read more

"Keep on with the forth, don't stop/don't stop until you get enough~" What mischief could a restaurant with Michael Jackson's music possibly have? Salty Pig Pizza: A pizza with the same name as the restaurant! Who was the genius who came up with the idea of ​​salted pig and beer caramel? It's brilliant! The salted pork appears to include Prosciutto di Parma from Langirano, Prosciutto Cotto, and Salcissia. Baking rendered the prosciutto's fat, which blends with the caramel to create a beautiful golden syrup that flows across the pizza's surface. The prosciutto was savory, oily, and tender; the minced salcissia retains its coarse texture and rich meaty aroma; the caramel was sweet and mellow with a honey-like sweetness, forming the top, middle, and base notes respectively. The arugula was slightly warmed, losing its astringent and raw taste while maintaining its crisp texture, helped to cut through the richness together with the Parmesan cheese powder. The crust was crispy, while the inside the dough was soft and chewy. The cooking time and seasoning were all just right, and the restaurant's proud wooden oven added a charming smoky flavor. Affogato: I had high expectations, but it was just okay. The espresso was too sour, and the vanilla ice cream couldn't balance it out. The almond biscuits had an overpowering almond flavor, and the flavor of plant-based protein was terrible! (Oh, this should have been a plus...) read more

The Salty Pig - A Conference Lunch Success Story A number of my friends and I found ourselves at The Salty Pig on the heels of a conference we were all attending in Boston in November 2025. During lunch on that Friday, the conference had chosen not to serve lunch, and so all of us were looking for a place to eat. As a Yelp Elite, I took upon the task of finding a restaurant for us and landed on The Salty Pig. As often happens, places around the conference venue can get busy and it's often hard to get a spot. The Salty Pig was also rather busy, but mercifully they were able to get us a table. And kudos to the server--once the guests at an adjoining table left, she dragged that table over to where we had already been seated and made us even more comfortable. The Food In terms of food, this is what the seven of us got: a Build Your Own Board for the table, followed by either a pizza or a salad bowl for each one of us. Between the seven of us, we got the Salty Pig pizza, the Funghi, the Margherita, the Soppressata, a beet salad, a Tuscan Chicken Grain Bowl, and a mixed greens salad. All of the items were priced around $20 each, and along with the Build Your Own Board, the food came to $151 for the table, with taxes adding another $11 to a total of $162. In terms of taste, I tried out several of the pizzas--in particular the Salty Pig, the Funghi, and the Margherita--and found them all to be very good. This also proved to be a lot of food and had we known better, we might have been better off ordering either five or six items and splitting them, rather than having one item for each of us. The Service Our server was very nice. She gave us a pitcher of water that made it easier on us to have water throughout most of our meal. Even though there were seven of us in the party, she did not add an automatic 18% gratuity to our bill. And if all of that were not enough, she also split the bill seven ways, giving us the option for all of us to pay with our credit cards, which we did as I recall. Also perhaps worth mentioning is that one of our friends has a vision impairment and took a long time to read through the menu. Nonetheless, our server was very patient with her and did not once betray a sense of frustration or impatience. All in all, good food, but even better service, and all of that comes at a pretty reasonable price for such an expensive part of Boston. As a result, it gets a 5-star from me. read more

TLDR: PHENOMENAL. The GOAT cocktail was SUPERB. Clarified goat cheese gin?! Who knew that blood orange with goat cheese gin was a match made in heaven?! Clearly our server did. She came up with this awesomely refreshing cocktail! Legendary. The charcuterie items were both really tasty, and I would've been perfectly happy just eating the Pork Pate. In fact, it was really hard not to fill up on the charcuterie while we waited for our Salty Pig pizza--which, btw, was SOOO GOOD. We got an egg on ours and it made the already tasty pizza even better! The combination of sweet and savory is just...addicting! I couldn't get enough of it. Definitely will be back here the next time I'm in town! read more

Made a reservation for dinner at 7pm and they were so kind to call and check if we needed high chairs bc they had another party that would need our table. Food was great we ordered all the meats from the charcuterie menu, some cheese, the half chicken, burata, Cesar salad, spaghetti, meatballs, and 2 pizza I think my favorite was the salad and the sausage pizza the egg on the salty pig pizza was too much for me but that's just not my style of pizza. The rest of the people in my group loved it. The kids enjoyed their spaghetti. Our favorite round out on the charcuterie board was the smoked shallot marmalade. Would definitely come back. The staff and food was great. read more

Stopped by for dinner after hearing great things about the place, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We kicked things off with a couple of drinks. For the main course, I went with the Half Roasted Chicken. It came with a generous serving of perfectly seasoned greens and roasted potatoes. The chicken itself was flavorful, tender, and juicy. I also had a taste of my wife's Bucatini, and it was just as impressive. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a nice flavor.

We were looking for a quick and easy place with outdoor seating. We all agreed that Salty Pig's menu looked great. We started with a charcuterie board. Our server was more than helpful when it came to picking the cheese and the accompaniments. We then shared two pizzas, one with meat and one without. The pizza came out super hot and it was delicious. My only complaint is that the table was not big enough, in my opinion, to hold two pizzas. The outdoor seating was fine, nothing fancy, and looked at the plaza near the Prudential center. I would definitely return to try other pizzas. read more

We ended up coming here after grabbing drinks and appetizers somewhere else because we wanted an actual meal, and I'm so glad we did. I ordered the bolognese, and it was absolutely amazing. That being said... the second I saw the pizzas coming out of the wood fired oven, I immediately had food envy I'll definitely be ordering a pizza next time. What really made the experience, though, was our waitress. She had the funniest personality. She was cheeky and a little snarky in the best possible way, and somehow made the whole table laugh without ever coming across as rude. She was genuinely one of the best servers I've had in a long time, and I'd honestly go back just hoping she's working. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. read more

Came here with my gfs for dinner. Our waiter (Cedrick, I believe?) was incredibly kind and patient while we took our time deciding what to order. He gave helpful recommendations and really made us feel welcome. Our food and drinks came out quickly and everything was delicious! We started with the local burrata, which was sweet and cream and the toasted hazelnuts added the perfect crunch. My friends ordered the Salty Pig pizza and were pleasantly surprised by how well the mustard cream sauce paired with the meats, especially the salami. I split the Funghi pizza with another friend, and the addition of hot honey is a must! One of us tried the chocolate torta, which was rich and decadent, and gluten-friendly too, a big plus!
