The Plum Tomato, Salem, CT — Restaurant in Salem

We went in just to check it out & the guys were super friendly! We told them we were going to work up an appetite & they said they hoped we will come back, they'd be waiting for us. Very good energy, definitely made us curious. Their menu is pretty extensive & rather creative with the toppings & the item names, they offer gluten-free options as well.

We did go back a little while later & ordered a large "The Godfather" (Mozzarella, pepperoni, & yummy sausage) to go, but ate a slice before we left while it was hot. Gotta give props to the sauce & crust - both fresh & the crust had the crunch. Imperfectly shaped, letting you know each is handmade. We had a bit of a situation where our pizza had to be remade, the manager handled the situation very well (much better than expected) & went above & beyond.

One of the guys was his first day - he was very friendly & while helping a few customers, gave the appearance he had been there for a while.. not like a first day. I made sure to tell him & he was very appreciative. All 3 of the guys were smiling & gave very good Customer Service - something that makes good food taste better!

The only real drawback is that it's small! When we originally went in, there was no way I'd consider eating in. As long as there really isn't anyone else in there we will, otherwise it'll definitely be to-go.

We can't wait to eat...

I came to this restaurant on 06/04/2022 around 3:00pm-3:15 pm. I ordered the Mama Mia sandwich and 3 slices of pizza. The person that took my order was a white male with a tattoo sleeve on his right arm (I don’t know his name which is why I am describing him). The guy proceeds to go make the sandwich after working the register. He did not wash his hands and he did not put on gloves. The guy grabbed the bread, then the meat ball and sliced the meat. Then he dug his hand in the red pepper and green pepper jar and placed them on the sandwich. Then he opened the ricotta cheese jar and scooped the ricotta with his bare hand and placed it onto the sandwich and assembled the sandwich and put it in the oven. Next he got the 3 pizza slices with his bare hand not using any utensil and put those in the oven as well. A white man came in and order a couple of slices of pizza and what do you know he put on gloves and got that guy’s pizza. I canceled my order because that was so disgusting like I’ve never ever experienced something like that in my...

The last 2 times I got food here, they first forgot my order making me wait a total of 45+ mins, and both orders were made wrong. I tried to give it a 3rd shot last night at 8:15pm on a Saturday night (which was probably a mistake on my part seeing as though the kids working were talking about their weekend plans and forgot to make my sandwich, making me wait longer, again.) I ordered a cheese pizza and a 1/4 Elton, which was supposed to come with chicken spinach cheese ranch and broccoli. Mine came with chicken, 3 pieces of uncooked broccoli that I could not bite through, nothing else. My cheese pizza was soggy and folded in half.

Real unfortunate as this is one of the only places within 10 mins to get food but I will definitely do myself a favor and drive the extra few minutes to get better quality food, and the actual food I order...
