6 New Hampshire Spots That Are a Pickle Lover’s Dream Come True

Ah, pickles… *drool* Honestly, they might be one of the greatest foods ever invented. Crunchy, salty, tangy perfection? Say less.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been completely obsessed with pickles. I’m talking snack-time pickles, sandwich pickles, “straight-from-the-jar-at-2-a.m.” pickles. And yes, before you ask, I absolutely drank the pickle juice, too. Hydrating? Maybe not. Delicious? Absolutely!

So, imagine my excitement when pickles started making more appearances at local restaurants and in grocery store recipes. Suddenly my lifelong pickle obsession went from “slightly concerning” to a shared craze. TikTok, Instagram, food blogs, food trucks- everywhere you look, people are finding new ways to turn pickles into the star of the show. Honestly? It’s about time!

From pickle chicken salad to pickle pizza (yes, really), here are a few local spots serving up pickle specialties in the Granite State.

Pizza Lisa in Windham, NH

Pizza Lisa is basically a pickle lover’s dream come true. Their “Big Dill” pizza features a pickle aioli base topped with mozzarella, pickles, and a sprinkle of dill and somehow, that’s not even the wildest thing on the menu. They also serve “The Chicken Bacon Big Dill,” loaded with chicken fingers and bacon alongside all that pickle goodness. Still craving more? They’ve got cream cheese pickle bombs and pickle fries, both served with pickle aioli. Honestly, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Hannaford Supermarket in Dover, NH

When I stumbled across the Dill Pickle Chicken Salad at Hannaford Supermarket, I knew I had to try it. Creamy, tangy, and packed with just the right amount of dill flavor, it completely exceeded my expectations. You can enjoy it on your choice of bread or in a wrap, but personally, I love scooping it up with pita chips for the perfect salty crunch.

Backyard Brewery in Manchester, NH

This brewery is keeping things simple but delicious with their Dill Pickle Pizza, topped with dill pickle chips, mozzarella, and a garlic cream sauce that ties everything together perfectly.

Omnium Brewing in Nashua, NH

This brewery is bringing the crunch with their unique chili garlic fried pickles. Their house pickles are fried until crispy and served with chili-garlic chutney and cucumber dill ranch, then topped with scallions and cilantro. It’s the perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and savory.

Marc’s Pizza & Subs in Merrimack, NH

This local favorite is offering a Pickle Butter Garlic Pizza featuring a buttery garlic parmesan base that sounds almost too good to pass up.

One customer review said, "Pregnant ladies will flock to Marc's Pizza & Subs to get this pickle pizza!"

Old Salt Restaurant in Hampton

Old Salt proves pickles belong in cocktails, too. And I'd have to agree! Their Pickle Martini is made with Absolut Pickle Vodka, shaken over ice, and garnished with, what else? a pickle!

At this point, I think it’s safe to say pickles are no longer just a side dish. They’ve officially taken center stage and gaining popularity.
