Fiesta Pizza — Restaurant in Salem

When I heard of an authentic Mexican pizza restaurant opening up here in Salem, I flipped my tortillas in excitement.

Oye, if you're Mexican and have even a slight once-in-a-blue-moon taste for pizza, this place will be just about perfect.

Carne asada, salsa verde and chorizo on pizza? Not gonna lie, it's kinda buckwild at first, but the taste will deliver you something fierce. It's traditional Mexican dishes that just so happen to be on dough and cheese, and they do it justice. Rich flavor and liberal toppings on every slice, and cooked just right. They also got this weird custom sauce that looks like fry sauce but tastes like a mixture of mayo and chipotle, and it works surprisingly well with the 'za. In short, riquísimo throughout.

And if that's not enough, it's also affordable, very competitively priced with other local pizza places.

Even their more run-of-the-mill Hawaiian and pepperoni pizzas are solid, though admittedly you're missing out if you go that route for what this place specializes in. But even if you bring in your picky "I can't do spicy" friends over, they won' t be disappointed either, and maybe you can encourage 'em to expand their palette a bit here, all while supporting a local...

If asked to name the toppings on the asada pizza I would have said onion (also not enough) but there just wasn't enough of anything to make an impression. Really wanted this to be a home run. At $40ish dollars for two pizzas it could have...

Sure there’s things you can do to make a pizza bad, but there sure are ways to make it better, and Fiesta Pizza place truly shines with the latter! Whether you have $10 to burn on your personal size pizza, or pay $20-$25 for a large, there’s no wrong way around the few, yet delicious options. This was our second visit within a few years and not only was the food better than before, but the service and hospitality were more than you could ask for. We truly recommend stopping by and trying their take on Mexican themed pizza, to any and everyone. The one issue I had tonight was not getting extra to-go! Fiesta Pizza has become a staple for our...
