What People Are Saying About The Upper Crust
The Owner
The Upper Crust
Owner
There is no trial needed to determine what's casting a spell on Salem these days. The Upper Crust located in historic downtown is bewitching residents with its premium pies and a beer and wine list that offers something for everyone. Plenty of outdoor seating is the perfect place to catch up with friends in the warmer months. Flat screens showcase the hometown teams inside when the weather gets ghastly.

The Scene
This laid-back, upscale pizza joint attracts a diverse, young clientele. By day, area students indulge in a slice while taking study breaks, while evening brings visitors from the nearby cinema stopping for a post-film snack. Patrons familiar with the original Beacon Hill location will enjoy the same speedy counter service at this offshoot, but will notice a slightly expanded menu and individual tables in contrast to the original's communal eating spaces.
The Food
Creative diners mix and match from an endless variety of gourmet toppings (arugula, baby clams, Canadian bacon), and the menu suggests several tantalizing combinations. The flavorful "white spinach" (spinach, garlic, mozzarella and feta with no tomato sauce) and the carnivore-friendly "state house" (hamburger, pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage) are both highlights. Gooey calzones and fresh Greek and Caesar salads round out the offerings.
