What's New in Miley Cafe
Sal's Pizza at Slices
Have you tried our new Sal’s Pizza at the Slices Station? Straight from the North End of Boston since 1990, Sal’s Pizza uses hand-stretched dough along with fresh and high-quality ingredients to prepare their cheesy, delicious, award-winning pizza.
We’re thrilled to partner with Sal’s Pizza here at Salve! Sal’s visited over the Summer to conduct in-depth training with our team and to teach us the best standards and techniques to make their consistently delicious pizza.
New Sprouts Plant-Based Station
It's no secret that the population of students with a Plant-Based diet is rapidly increasing. We've decided to respond to this growing population of guests with an expanded and elevated Plant-Based station in Miley Cafe! Every day, Sprouts offers a wide variety of hot & cold prepared ingredients to make a signature dish. With global flavors, creative alternatives to animal meat and byproducts, and a wide variety, Sprouts is the perfect way to enjoy a hearty Plant-Based meal or try something new that you may not have ordered on your own in a restaurant.
Daily Smash Burgers at Sizzle
Burgers are a delicious, quick go-to meal. While we've always served burgers daily on the Grill, our new Sizzle station is making fresh Smash Burgers daily! Be sure to stop by and try a flavorful Smash Burger or one of our Plant-Based options (Impossible and Black Bean Burgers).
Showcase - Switching it up on Wednesday & Friday
The custom Showcase action station is a staple for a nutritious, custom meal. That being said, we know our students love when this station transforms into a popup special with new and exciting menu items. Expect things to change up at Showcase on Wednesdays and Fridays during Lunch & Dinner and enjoy custom options with fresh ingredients served to order.
New Deli Offerings at Stacked
Stacked Deli Case has a wide variety of expanded options this year! From pesto and sliced chicken to Plant-Based options like roasted vegetables, tofu, vegan turkey, and vegan cheese, there is something for everybody at Stacked! Have your sandwich or wrap made to order, and feel free to use our panini press for a melty, crunchy, and delicious experience.

Green Restaurant Association
Miley Café is proud to be a 3-Star Certified Green Restaurant! The Green Restaurant Association is a national nonprofit dedicated to making restaurants more sustainable. Restaurants generate more than 300 million tons of garbage every year. To make matters worse, much of this waste is made from polystyrene foam, which does not decompose over time.
Miley Café works towards changing these trends by reducing waste, eliminating the use of polystyrene foam, and implementing a wide array of environmental steps to conserve energy and water. Additionally, it supports reducing material and food waste as well as the excessive use of disposables, chemicals, and more. Miley Café has earned 176.97 GreenPoints under the Green Restaurant Association’s rigorous standards. We aim to continue to increase this number by continuing to execute and develop these practices.

The Salve Regina Dining Digest is a weekly newsletter released digitally via social media, on-campus resident emails, and released as tangible newsletters around Miley Hall.

Salve SGA Food Committee/ General Administration Committee
We are proud to work alongside the Salve Regina Student Government Association Food Committee to incorporate and implement student ideas into our dining program. We plan to regularly meet with SGA to discuss feedback and ideas and to create strong and manageable action plans to follow through on these initiatives.
