The Salty Pig

The hostess was super upbeat and clearly loves working at The Salty Pig. She is the perfect employee to set the tone for your dining experience! Our table of five received outstanding attention/service and the food was delicious. Fresh. Made to order. My husband had a pizza, he actually ate the whole thing. Our grandsons had a brisket sandwich and I had the homemade hotdog and put it over a bed of lettuce. DIVINE! Our tour guide enjoyed a turkey wrap. Next time I’ll look forward to trying their charcuterie options. All meats are made and cured in house. It smells fabulous. I highly recommend The Salty Pig.

Came in on Monday evening to try their pizza and cocktails. Their open pizza oven added to the amazing general ambiance. Delicious cocktails, with mature flavors. We got the bianco and funghi pizzas. Pizza toppings were all delicious, wish they had a little more flavor. Great for both a casual meal and post work get togethers!

We had such a wonderful experience at The Salty Pig. We were there with our friends. The atmosphere is fantastic — warm, lively, and truly welcoming. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, making us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It’s definitely a family‑friendly place, which we really appreciated.

We ordered the Margherita pizza with prosciutto for the kids, and they absolutely loved it. For the adults, we tried two pastas — the Bucatini and the Rigatoni — and both were outstanding. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not overdone and not raw, just that ideal texture that’s hard to find. And the sauces… I honestly don’t have words. So flavorful, rich, and delicious — truly unforgettable.

For dessert, we tried the chocolate hazelnut ice cream and the chocolate torta. Both were amazing — sweet, indulgent, and the perfect finish to an already fantastic meal.

We loved everything about this place, and we will definitely visit again the next time we’re in Boston.

Excellent Italian Restaurant in Boston’s Southend. The meatballs were as good as you can get. Served on toasted bread, plenty of sauce and mozzarella. The Margarita Pizza has a crunchy crust, perfectly cooked, delicious sauce, basil and cheeses. Nice Vibe with an open kitchen. Tyler our server was fantastic!!! parking can be a little challenging but it’s worth the search for a parking spot
This is must go to restaurant

“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...)
