We were less than thrilled. The pizza was terrible and the salad boring. Very expensive compared to your local pizza house. Even Bertucci's offer a better value.

But, after going there frequently, it's very inconsistent in quality. Some times, the pizza is cooked perfectly, other times, it's over cooked, dry and the crust becomes tough. I've tried to special order my pizza, extra sauce, etc. Rarely does it come with the extra sauce and it's 50/50 if the special order is acknowledged by the cook. Too bad. I think that if you're paying $20+ for a large pizza, you should be able to put a request for it's special order toppings. I thought the Upper Crust was the best thing in town.

I personally don't mind judicious use of semolina mixed with flower as it allows for better air flow under the pie reducing burnt spots, bubbles and ensuring a more even cooking of the crust. However some places have chosen to do away with flower all together which is just plain lazy. As for price and quality I think your sentiments may still be in the minority. It is refreshing to hear from a girl who truly knows her pizza. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming. Erin,

I'm so tired of the North Shore pizzerias because they tend to either be greasy, cooked on corn meal in the oven, or too thick and doughy. Upper Crust makes a nice thin crust pizza that is cooked on flour, which leaves a nice flavor on the bottom of the crust. Plus the cheese and meats are all high quality and don't soak through the crust leaving a greasy mess. I think it's an excellent pizza for an excellent price and in an excellent location. Honestly, you pay for what you get and at Upper Crust you're going to get a good pizza. I am thrilled that Upper Crust has moved to Salem.

I ordered a pizza to my boyfriends condo on federal street and over an hour later with an ice cold pizza the driver delivered....the wrong pizza. Turns out that they try to sell a few different types of chicken pizza and then calling back was worse, i swear that the intellect of the person on the phone was at the grade of my three year old cousin. There is not a chance that pizza is for me @ this place. For a cheap good time always go to Ben & Jerries on Washington Street across from City Hall I am not one to say a bad thing on a pizza shop, but this is one of the most “full of themselves” pizza shop.

In fact since it opened we haven't gone to, or ordered from any of our previous favorites. Yes, it's a higher priced pizza, but I'll pay it for better quality any day.
