BEACH PIZZA IN SALISBURY: A TASTE OF SUMMER IN THE WINTER

Beach pizza
Hot out of the oven!
Cristy's has been serving slices for generations.

Salisbury, Massachusetts 

For generations, pizza lovers have been treating themselves to slices of "beach pizza" at Cristy's on Broadway in Salisbury. This pizza shop, and its competition, Tripoli's, are steps from the beach. Cristy's only sells pizza, while Tripoli's also makes cannoli's from scratch. The locals all have a favorite shop and swear that one pizza is better than the other. I enjoy them both.

Beach pizza is baked by the sheet and sliced into squares. It comes out of the oven piping hot, which is good for melting a slice of provolone cheese on top. The sauce on beach pizza is also satisfyingly sweet. After decades, it's still very inexpensive, with two slices for a little less than $5. 

Cristy's and Tripoli's are open year round, which means customers can get slices in the dead of winter just like I did yesterday. , ,
