If your pivot has a primary key (id) you can make a model for the pivot table and have a relation from your product to that model. Alternatively you can add a join in your eager load query. Another option would be to extract your city_id, make a query in your cities table using DB query builder (since it's faster then eloquent), after that go in your relation and use the '->setAttribute(key, value)' method to add the city name obtained in the separate query
