Downtown Salem Pizza Pie Parlor Opens On Derby Street

SALEM, MA — A new, 50-seat restaurant and pizzeria opened on Derby Street in Salem on Tuesday under the direction of chef/owner Keenan Langlois.

Garçon SuperSlice Pizza Pie Parlor is described as serving pizza that serves a "traditional New York slice combined with New Haven-esque char" and is "the culmination of Langlois' lifelong dream of opening a casual pizza parlor that perfects the ubiquitous slice."

"The name 'Garçon Superslice Pizza Pie Parlor' is a nod to the time I spent working as an unpaid intern in France," Langlois said in a release to Patch. "I've wanted to open an old-school pizza parlor for ages, one that not only gets the pizza right but also the easy setting, the non-pizza extras and the local feel.

"Make good, thoughtful food, in sometimes unexpected ways. That's my goal."

Langlois spoke with Patch when he opened his first Salem restaurant — ChezCasa — on Bridge Street in 2021.

Langlois graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and has spent decades working in the Boston restaurant industry as well as in Europe.

Daily pizza varieties will include Margherita, linguica & onion, eggplant & olive, meatball & ricotta and pickled peppers pineapple & porchetta, among others. Cakes, cookies and baked goods will also be on the menu, as well as local specialties including Hobb's Ice Cream frappes and Polar Root Beer floats.

The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m.
