My wife and I rolled home from lunch at Salty Bay Pizza Kitchen with full bellies, big smiles, and the immediate urge to tell everyone about it. This place doesn’t just serve pizza—it serves the kind of experience that makes you want to plan your next visit before you’ve even left the table.
First things first: the staff deserve a standing ovation. Our server was the perfect mix of polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming— the kind of service that quietly elevates a good meal into a memorable one.
The restaurant itself is dressed in a cool industrial style—modern, relaxed, and easy on the eyes. The menu matches the vibe: a great lineup of pizzas with fun, quirky names, plus a drinks list that covers everything from cocktails to soft options, so no one’s left out.
Now, onto the food—because let’s be real, that’s why you’re here. Portions are generous (read: don’t underestimate the sides). My wife’s “house salad” was a full-on event—fresh, colorful, and leagues ahead of the usual sad lettuce mix. I went for fries, which are often an afterthought in restaurants. Not here. These were crispy, fluffy, piping hot, and seasoned to perfection.
But of course, the star of the show is the pizza. And let me tell you, I’ve eaten pizza in New York and across Italy, and Salty Bay holds its own—dare I say, even surpassing some of them. The dough is hand-crafted with that ideal chewy-crust-meets-light-bite balance. I always test a new spot with a Margherita (no toppings to hide behind), and it was spot on: fresh, vibrant tomato sauce leading the charge, quality cheese, and not a drop of grease in sight. My wife went bold with the hilariously named Hot as Cluck, and it delivered all the fiery, chilli goodness promised.
Final verdict? Salty Bay Pizza Kitchen is a real find. If you’re local, you’ll probably end up a regular like we plan to be. If you’re visiting, do yourself a favour and put it at the top of your list. Great service, gorgeous space, huge portions, and pizza that could go toe-to-toe with the best — it’s a...
Read moreSuch a pleasant surprise when collecting our pizza on a cold, wet, windy night to find that the takeaway ordered from our Premier Inn room round the corner was not being despatched from the back of a faceless industrial unit but was being cooked in a warm, inviting restaurant and takeaway staffed by friendly, welcoming people who treated takeaway and restaurant customers equally well. The huge pizza oven glowed with fire and the efficient ordering system means you get your pizza when you expect it, no delays and no backed up stressed out staff. Fabulous fresh pizza, and the best house salad I've ever had. Attention to detail is amazing and rare. Included in the house salad were treats like griddled sweetcorn, freshly pickled red onion, spring onion, red piquant pepperillos and so much more, along with very fresh mixed interesting leaves, not a cheap inferior tasteless ingredient in sight. So glad to have found this as the 'restaurant' beside the Premier Inn was anything but welcoming and the menu overpriced for chill/cook pub grub. I asked the manager if there was space for two diners and when he had finished shouting at the staff he gruffly said 'you can take your chance if you like and order at the bar but I don't know if you'll find a table or how long it will be'. Off to Salty Bay then! On both nights of our stay. Also the path to the restaurant at Premier Inn was really dangerous with lots of loose slabs and I have balance any mobility issues. There is certain to be an accident there before the season is out. However the path and road up to Salty Bay were well lit and in excellent order which for a disabled person is a vital consideration. When my takeaway order was ready (prepaid) the staff brought it over to where I was sitting waiting which was really kind and the type of service it's so unusual to find these days. I also loved the plant rich decor. Just fabulous and I hope they continue to do as well as every deserve. Top...
Read moreAbsolute gem of a find!!!! who would have thought such an amazing little restaurant could be found on a dmall industrial estate !! I'm not a huge fan of pizza but it's hubbies favourite food..... I have to say I've been converted this was the BEST pizza I have ever had !!! being ceoliac it's always hard to find good places to eat who do gluten free and I was 100% not disappointed. There is the usual disclaimer as they do handle flour and its in the air but they cook the GF separately and nearly everything on the menu could be made GF, I was in total heaven !!! I'm very sensitive and had no issues after eating here. I had the moody blue which was beef brisket and blue cheese........ omg it was lush!!! ordered fries, now whenever you order a side of fries anywhere you get a tiddly portion...... not at Salty Bay ... the portions huge !!! I can't wait to return to Cornwall because I will 100% be visiting this little gem again, the atmosphere is great and the staff are...
