    Cleveland has outdone itself once again. I'm beginning to not miss NY pizza (well, that's an exaggeration, I admit...). Crust may not have the biggest slice (I think Sweet Basil has that covered), but it has the BEST. Long, crisp, and thick, Crust's slice is so heavenly. I LOVED the...wait for it...crust. Even the top part of the crust, which I usually either leave over and throw in the box (we used to call these scraps "the bones" growing up), or reluctantly chew, bored out of my mind. This crust was chewy, soft, a bit salty, and all around amazing. The sauce and cheese were great too. I enjoyed how the pies were just situated at the top of the counter, and how they were heated individually when ordered (this is how it should be done; I'd rather not have the pizza sitting under a heat lamp for hours, thank you very much). I thought the triangular "cutting board" the pizza sat on was kind of cute, if not a bit awkward. I used my fork & knife for half of the slice, then tore through the rest with my hands. The outdoor seating was nice. I am assuming that this place gets really crowded at night, but for a Saturday lunch, everything was perfect.

    Just ordered the destoyer, which is their 32" pizza for a group of 5 and I must say it was absolutely delicious. You can tell the sauce is homemade and can taste each individual herb they use. Im only giving 4 stars because I have yet to try anything else but once I do Im sure Ill update and give it 5 stars.

    Would never have noticed this place if not for Yelp. The storefront is quite small, and indeed the inside only offers a few tables, but I tend to prefer small restaurants such as these anyways. There is a small parking lot next to the entrance as well. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, I was actually surprised that their menu was as big as it was. Two of us decided to split a medium cappicollo pizza with the hand- tossed crust and an order of butternut squash gnocchi. We also ordered a slice of tiramisu to go- I was pleased to find that they had at least 4 different kinds of tiramisu to choose from! I decided on the butter toffee. We ordered up front, and the girl taking our order was very friendly and eager to provide recommendations. We waited inside, and our food probably took about 15-20 minutes, which is quite reasonable for a pizza place. When our food came out, I did notice that the place only used disposable cutlery and containers, which I suppose is because they are mostly a take out place. In any case, the butternut squash gnocchi was delicious! A little sweet but well-balanced, and I was impressed to find such a dish at a pizza joint, this could easily be served at a fancy italian restaurant in little Italy. The pizza was also very good, although in my opinion Angelo's in Lakewood is preferable, the crust was still nice and crunchy while still being soft. The cappicollo had a nice spice to it, and I was happy to find that the fresh sliced tomatoes had a really delicious juicy tomato flavor (hard to come by in the winter time). We ended up taking half our food home because we couldn't finish it, and I'm happy to report it made wonderful leftovers! The tiramisu was a little sweeter than I prefer, but still I appreciated the toffee flavor, and would be interested to try other flavors in the future. I think this place would be great for a lazy night in take out option, and I am eager to try other things off their menu.

    The $3.00 huge plain slices are really good! For whatever reason, their pizza tastes drastically different when you order a PLAIN pie instead. I like the big slices, I'd much rather get that than a pie in the future. That said, their specialized pizza is excellent. The one with the goat cheese and mushrooms is fantastic, and I love that as well. Definitely like the desserts at this place. Top 5 pizzerias in Cleveland by my standards.

    We wanted super yummy pizza and we got it. Served up on wooden slabs, there's a few tables to eat in. They heated up pepperoni pizza slices for us and it was wonderful. Sauce was slightly sweet, crust was a little thin, needed a fork since the piece was so huge, and crust seasoned nicely. Lots of pepperoni and not too greasy.

    Pizza: Even their plain cheese pizza beats the fanciest topped pizza in town. Pasta: Roasted Tomato Gnocchi was excellent! Sub: Eggplant sub was wonderful. Salads: Fresh and Delicious. Dessert: If you come in time to get their home made tiramisu, get it! No other dessert compares! But the people - they make my experience every time I pick up dinner - they are beyond friendly!

  • Carl R.

    Absolutely and unequivocally the best pizza in Cleveland. The crust shines here, crispy, salty, delicious. The toppings are of the highest quality it seems (but I think they changed which pepperoni they used). I always order a pepperoni and kalamata olive pizza and it's always great. They seem to put a lot of care into what they do and I really appreciate that. Their salads are huge and awesome too. Tasted the Greek salad and man they don't skimp on feta or kalamata olives at all. I have not had their gnocchi. I hear it's amazing. If they have the cheesecake in the cooler, buy it. It's fantastic. * I am not going to review them on their slices. They just aren't as good as the whole pizza, but it doesn't knock them down at all for me. If you want a slice go to Vincenza's or NYC.

    Tried for over and hour and can't get through...its 6:30 on a Saturday...was really looking forward to trying their pie..will change review if I get through....annoyed

    The Finocciona pizza was not as good as the last time I had it.... both our pizza's were a little skimpy.... but it was still a nice indulgence. : ) I will keep going back!

  • Mike S.

    Really good. Owner was a great guy, food was excellent. Location is cool but it's a shame they aren't somewhere they can get more exposure. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Grandma's cheesecake was delicious! :)

  • David B.

    First time to crust recently, and enjoyed their tomato gnocchi, Park salad, and caramel lady finger dessert. The gnocchi was perfect and the sauce had great flavor\zest. The salad was huge, tasty with greek olive, sautéed onions, seasoned potatoes, feta, red peppers, tomatos, home made balsamic. The desert had a liquor in it that blended so well with the lady finger and caramel drizzle. All in all easy on the wallet, very pleased about that. Lastly, hosts were gracious, passionate about their food. Bravo!

  • Cara L.

    Still one of my very favorite places on the planet. Their pies are so, so very delicious. If you don't like their pizza, I'm not sure I can trust you. I just... I can't. I haven't tried too much else on their menu, but after reading through some of these reviews, I think we're going to have to try some sandwiches--and gnocchi. No more excuses. But please, understand it's not easy to steer away from a pepperoni and mushroom pie from these guys... Topped with freshly grated cheese and chopped basil? Holy. I love this place so much that I'll put up with the lack of seating. The lack of parking. I do not care. You shouldn't care. Just eat this pie and enjoy your life. Oh, and try and dang salad! Those mothers are packed with stuff and delicious!

    I am a pizza traditionalist (plain cheese, yummy crust, thin or hand tossed), and their plain cheese is very good. Personally I prefer Edison's, but Crust is a great deal for the price, and if I'm feeling a little fancy. Their specialty pizzas are not to be missed, I especially like the mushroom with balsamic drizzle. Service is friendly, and they sometimes have GLASS BOTTLE sodas (my favorite!). The slices are huge, but the crust itself (which is what the place is known for), isn't the greatest, IMO. It becomes rock hard and inedible the next day, unless you want to chip a tooth. I always have to throw it away, and I hate wasting food, esp the best part of the pizza! Don't miss the gnocchi. Big, chewy, delicious. Comfort food at its best.

    Made it back to try a slice of pizza. The servers were not very helpful and actually a bit rude. The pizza was good, but nothing special. Done with this place.

    this place definitely worths a ten star!! I ordered the capocollo large thin crust and it was MAD AMAZING like you have no idea how good it was! I was carrying this pizza in 10f weather and I could see the steam coming out of the pizza box. I smell it and I almost decided just to eat in the snow but I had some self control so I took it back and shared it with my bf. my bf a super picky, critical eater even decided to give it a 4.5, which is prob the highest he's given any restaurant in a while. the people working there were super friendly too. it only took me 10 min to get my lovely pizza. what a speedy service!!

    Magnifico! You must eat here. Friendly service, easy atmosphere, great food portions, and the flavor is there to savor. Plenty of options for your slice of pie, and ice-cold coke in the glass bottle!

    We tried to go to Crust opening weekend, but they had run out of crust. We finally went back last week. We got a large hand tossed, I think? Pepperoni pizza, ricotta gnocchi, & a Caesar salad. Fantastic food! There's something addictive about the pizza. The sauce is fresh, the crust is perfectly chewy & crispy. Great fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back!

  • David E.

    The pizza is awesome and the staff was friendly. Got a hand tossed Hot Margherita Pepperoni and boy oh boy it the crust is awesome, tomatoes juicy and fresh, basil flavorful and when I reheated left overs in the oven on a cast iron skillet, I swear it was just good if not better than fresh! It could be mistaken for New York Styled, but in actuality it is Tremont Crust!

  • Jae H.

    This was so so so so good great service great food make sure you get the Mediterranean sandwich that was the first one I had and plan on going back at least 5 more times this month just to try out a few more things and a pizza. don't think I will be dissatisfied.

  • Valerie P.

    Delicious pizza! I'm not really sure what else to say about it. It's good. And tasty and I wish I had it right now, but I don't and that makes me sad. But the pizza made me happy. It's not really your typical pizza, more artisan (is that a thing?), but it's worth the trip to Lakewood.

  • Sniglet J.

    We have been to Crust twice now. I have to say that the gnocchi is the best I ever had! Next time I am back in Cleveland, I am definitely stopping again!

  • Young P.

    When I was living in Tremont, this was the new pizza joint that was stepping into Edison's territory. I was taken back at first because they approached it differently. The pizza and crust was a little more doughy, they used fresh ingredients, everything was prepared and made in the morning, and they closed so damn early. Everything that was not Edison's !! I felt bad... like I was cheating on someone. But, I found out that Crust makes delicious, hot sandwiches and I forgot all about it. I love Crust ! All their specialty pizzas are good, which is anything with prosciutto on it. Just order prosciutto on the side or add it as an extra topping. It's a total G move. One my favorite menu items has to be the meatball sub. I think it's really good. And, the Italian is good too. You should definitely try one !

    (5)
  • Leah N.

    My absolute FAVORITE place to grab lunch in Tremont and I am so glad they have opened. The service is excellent and the food is SO good. I have wonderful pregnancy cravings and their meatball sub is my current must have. They also have pizza by the slice- just cheese but will they add toppings for you. The slices are huge and a good price. Also out of this world their mushroom gnocchi. It's AMAZING.

  • Nicole F.

    I have been looking for a great pizza place on the west side for a few Months now and I have finally found one I enjoy. We got the hot margarita pepperoni and it was delicious! Be warned though, the garlic sauce is in place of tomato sauce. The ingredients as well as the dough were high quality and fresh and you could not ask for more (besides delivery)! I will be ordering from here again and trying the thin crust also!

  • Bryan M.

    Stop eating frozen pizzas! No offense to Edison's or any other purveyor of pies, but Crust is hands down the best pizza in Cleveland. I come here on a regular basis now and want to break down their menu. Pizza: Is there a better deal around than $3 for a slice the size of your face? You'd be hard pressed to find it. All of the pizzas are fresh, hand made, and come with a unique array of toppings (who doesn't love goat cheese and chorizo on a pizza). Each pie is well worth the price for the quality that you're receiving. The owners and workers are always super nice and willing to direct you in the right direction for what you're craving. Pasta: Gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi. These little dough balls of love fill your stomach with warmth and feel like family. The roasted red tomato gnocchi brings full bodied flavor with a slight kick to their Parmesan broth, add chicken or meatballs and you have a meal that will keep you satisfied for hours and even days. Subs: The best one is tough. Probably the Spanaird which includes goat cheese and chorizo or the Club which features their in-house smoked bacon. Did I mention the sub roll is homemade too? Nothing in this place tastes like it's packed with preservatives or has been sitting around. Dessert: I don't know anyone that makes so many different types of tiramasu from bananas foster to white chocolate raspberry. I don't even like tiramasu and they got me hooked. Ignore any preconceptions about what pizza should cost, it's well worth the quality and homemade feel to their establishment. Enjoy.

    Checked out the subs......so very good. Enjoyed the meatball sub (their meatballs are devine) and the club. I was on tastebud overload. We asked for the club to be prepared as a hot sub. The flavors were layered and it was AMAZING! I LOVE crust!

    (4)
  • Peter C.

    They are completely correct in the name of this place because it is easily the best part of the pizza. I love everything else too, but it is evident that they really put a lot of work into dough! My favorite part is eating the soft crust of the pizza that has a little bit of salt sprinkled onto it. I have to say that their customer service is superb as well. Recently, I ordered a pie from there on the way home from work. When we arrived, they were very apologetic that the pizza wasn't done because it the first one didn't come out perfect. As a way to apologize for an extra 7min wait, they offered to give us a few free pieces of dessert. We got a few pieces of specialty tiramisu and they were fantastic. I will continually recommend crust to anyone looking for Pizza in Tremont.

    What do you say about a pizza place that makes their own salad dressings? The Ranch & Peppercorn were 'best in class'. I'm a salad guy; I've got a salad gut, what can I say? I think you'd say that that there is a pizza place that takes pizza making (and dressing making) seriously. Great thin chewy crust-perfect for folding. Great topping application & selection.

    So the boys and girls of Crust are up, running and have figured out what they're going to do. Things have changed somewhat in the little shop across from Visible Voice. Not bad changes, mind you; just changes. I first encountered Crust on a soft-open mode night many moons ago and picked up some by-the-slice to go. They were normal sized slices and they were $2 a-pop. Nowadays when you go to Crust, the normal sized slices have been run out of the neighborhood by a mammoth pie that lords over the counter, daring you to approach. One slice will kill your hunger. Two puts you in a coma. The crust is still as delicious as day 1, garlicy, crisp on bottom, chewy afterward. The sauce is bright, rich and perfect. The toppings are fantastic and VERY high quality. I had a revelation; however: I went to Crust one night and created a "supreme" pizza to take home. They didn't have one on the menu, so I simply did the "pepperoni, sausage, onion, peppers and mushrooms" thing and happily took my pie. We ate it, and yes, it was good, but not magical. Hmmm... Whahappen? It dawned on me. I'm no chef. I'm no expert of pizza. These guys create flavor combinations for a living. Who the heck am I to go pile a bunch of random stuff on a pizza and expect it to be amazing? But Chris, Pizza Hut and Dominoes do it all the tim--- oooooh... Epiphany. Mike and Jeff have already taken the time to make some insane flavor profiles for your pizza enjoyment. Order one from the menu. Don't substitute. Don't build your own. One day at Crust Mike asked me to try a slice of pizza with arugula and balsamic glaze. Okay, sure; thanks Mike. Took it home, fully intending to hate it. Damn vegetables and stuff on my pizza, meh... Then I took a bite. Insert random chorus from My Morning Jacket. Done. Best pizza ever. Just go to Crust, folks. Ignore any reviews about this place lower than 4 stars.

  • Liz K.

    I have found Crust to be very touch and go recently. I used to think it was the best pizza in Cleveland and it is still good pizza. Most recently, I went on a Friday evening and got take out. The bottom of the crust was a bit burnt and it was super greasy. While I expect and enjoy some grease on my pizza, it was way too much. The sauce is well spiced and always delicious (though it does have a bit of a bite to it, so if you don't like spicy, their pizza is not for you). The crust, when cooked right, is delicious - perfect amount of salt, nice and fluffy. Overall, this place is great when it's done right, but mediocre when it's cooked imperfectly.

    Delicious, reasonably priced food with the kindest, friendliest workers around. As Shakespeare said, "Get thee to a pizzeria." Just make sure that the pizzeria is CRUST. You will not be disappointed in the menu, pricing, or SERVICE.

    I'd give Crust 3.75 stars. I really like their Spanish chorizo pizza. I've had it twice: dine in and carry out. I really hate the butt fuckery of parking there though, which is a big drawback for me.

    My first time to Crust tonight and so impressed! I used to think there was no such thing as a really good thin crust pizza in Cleveland, and in the last few years, this is changing-hooray! Tonight I ordered the Finocchiona specialty pizza, the Park Salad, and when I arrived to pick things up I couldn't resist ordering a cheese slice to go as well. First I devoured the (enormous! and a bargain at $3) cheese slice. Yay-they actually use a hot hot oven-beloved char! I was surprised by how flavorful the sauce was, and how perfectly crisp and cheesy the slice was. This would be a great meal on its own. The salad was an unexpected knock-out, with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions, red peppers, kalamata olives, feta, and fresh fresh lettuce. OH, and homemade dressing-I chose Parmesan and it was delicious! The salads are HUGE, by the way, and could be shared between 2-3 people if having pizza, too (I could only eat half). I had a small slice of the specialty pizza as well, and the rest will be my lunch tomorrow. This was terrific as well- great, quality toppings and again, made the way Italians make pizza. Nice people, too. So excited to try other things on the menu!

    This pizza blows everything that I've had in Cleveland out of the water. The crust is so fluffy yet crispy, the cheese perfectly melted, and cheese to tomato sauce ratio is just on point. When I first stepped into the store and saw the huge $3.00 slices as big as a toddler, I had my doubts about finishing it. However when I had my first bite, it was impossible to not take another bite of that gooey goodness and another...until I set a personal record on how much pizza I just consumed. This place is a MUST TRY.

  • Ferdinand H.

    Thin crust pizza with novel toppings... has the concept been done to death? Maybe... with a plethora of other options sporting similar concepts, the warm smile of the proprietor stands out as a great feature of the place. Small in size, it's definite a "neighbourhood shop". Tartufo Bianco oil with actual truffles is always a plus. So glad that's on the menu.

    Great service. I went to crust today and was surprised when I was given a large pizza box for two slices. After I opened the box I understood. Crust had the largest slices I have seen in sometime. I loved the cured ham and the pepperoni, the toppings were of premium quality. The crust was ok I prefer a softer sweeter crust . Overall the service was great abd the pizza was very memorable. A Slice with one topping =$4 -5 but you will be full and possibly have some leftover.

    Echoing Christopher: Ask for the arugula-balsamic salad on top of cheese pizza. I still haven't had better pizza than Crust.

  • Mike M.

    Greek salad with a slice of cheese pizza. Everything made from scratch. Crust is one of the best I have had, with a dash of sea salt adds a nice touch. Salad had hard boiled egg, kalamata olives, tomato, feta cheese. Greek dressing is excellent, I need to find out what's in this. I used the leftover dressing three times that same week. Its hard to get pizza to stand out, but this place stands tall. This place should do well in Tremont. Now two of my favorite pizza shops are in Tremont.

    Ick. We were excited to taste such a highly reviewed pizza place. We live in Ohio City and we love pizza, but Edison's never really hit our mark. We didn't want to order pizza from Brooklyn, so we figured we trek over to Tremont for a slice at Crust--man what a mistake! We both immediately got belly aches and regretted spending the bones on this overcooked, under-sauced mess called pizza. It was cool that the pizza slice was a big as two plates, but really who wants to eat that much ick-filled pizza. Terrible. I appreciate the effort, but seriously, soooo bad. Perhaps a whole pizza would be better, but really after sinking $6 in two inedible slices, who'd pay for a whole pie?

  • Erin O.

    I was REALLY excited about Crust. I thought that Edison's might have a run for it's money when I witnessed the signage for Crust before they opened. I surfed the web trying to find an opening date. I was REALLY disappointed in the hours. I mean... I understand having scaled back hours when you're a new business. But, why wouldn't those hours be in the evening vs. the afternoon? I realize people eat pizza for lunch... but this seems like a "dinner pizza place". I can appreciate several types of pizza - greasy college pizza, creative pizza, homemade pizza.... hell, even chain pizza. I suppose I expected this to be fresh, artisan, fancy pizza. :) When I went in to get the pizza, I was even more excited. The staff was SOOO friendly. I thought about giving an extra star just because they were SO nice. The shop was really clean and cool. They were even slicing pepperoni and shredding fresh cheese - no freezer packaged toppings here!! So, I am thinking... "nice staff, fresh ingredients... this is going to be AWESOME!" Hmm. I get home, I open my box... I'm less than impressed. The CRUST (for which this place is named, right?) tasted like raw flour... and nothing else. It was floppy and flavorless. Big bummer. The pepperoni was delish (and flavorful). The sauce was bland. It was new - like within the first few weeks of opening. Maybe I will give them a bit of time and check it back out. I always want to support new Tremont businesses. I want to love this place. I'll update if/when I give it another chance.

    Best pizza in Cleveland IMO. Thin NY style done perfect. Cool little shop you get a great vibe...customer service and pride in product.

  • Matthew M.

    I'm a firm believer that the general worthiness of pizza can be judged by a pepperoni slice. Nothing more, nothing less. Pepperoni is a standard topping, probably the most common. Cheese, dough and sauce are the other stars of the show. The few toppings leave limited room for error. Yet, as you can probably infer from my 2 star rating, I was left underwhelmed by Crust. Let me preface; this isn't an attempt at being a contrarian to the other glowing reviews. It's just me being brutally honest as I always am. Being that my opinion differs from just about everyone else, I'm left wondering how I came away with such a stark difference of opinion? What do others taste that I don't? Is this another case of sheep following a herd? Or am I the one who's wrong? Let's examine... Let's me begin by stating that I really wanted to like this place. The owner seems nice. I'm told he's "passionate" about pizza. They had like 8 people working on a Saturday night despite us being the only one in the place and it being about 1/8th the size of my garage. It's a cute place. I hope they succeed. After all, they're just another small business trying to make it in this unforgiving world. And now that the newness has worn off, I suggest it's time to take off the kid gloves. I love pizza and I was starving since I skipped lunch that day. A pepperoni slice was needed to quell my hunger. Yes the slices were huge. Yes the pepperoni slices were thick. The cheese shredded to order. The sauce --I'm told-- made from scratch. Yet none of this matters if the final product is bland or in the case of the sauce, overly seasoned. My biggest issue with Crust was the sauce. It was a simple red sauce. Yet I tasted garlic for 2 days afterwards. I don't know if this was a mistake or what, but it was crazy garlicky. And I'm a huge fan of garlic. On occasion, I've been known to roast an entire bulb and spread it on toast. I'm no stranger to the root veg. But this sauce? It screamed of "gah-lick". Emeril wouldn't even approve. Next up? The dough/crust. Let me try and describe the method of how they create the crust: Let's say you order a 12" pie. They roll it out to a 16" in diameter, then roll the outside of the dough inward about 2" all the way around. You're left with this massive rope of unevenly cooked crust. And it's not even stuffed with cheese or anything. Odd, but a trademark of theirs I suppose. Overall, the dough and crust was completely unmemorable and bland. Final verdict? Sorry folks, but Crust seems like a Bust.

    Owners were working, and were awesome and so friendly. Had the butternut squash ricotta gnocchi and the club sub sandwich. Both were delicious. Had a slice of pizza which I was not nearly as crazy about, even though the size of the slice was huge, making it fine. Quality of the cold cuts in my sub were really good, and there was a feeling of warmth in the food.

    I love this place. If there's a higher quality pizza in cleveland, I haven't found it yet. The freshness of all the ingredients shine though no matter what toppings you choose. Or if you go with one of their specials, the chorizo pizza is absolutely fantastic. Spicy chorizo and tangy goat cheese with roasted peppers...winning combination. I've lived in tremont for years and until crust opened I was strictly Edison's when it came to pizza...and I haven't been there since. Not because Edison's is bad, but because crust is that good.

  • Colin O.

    I've been looking for good pizza since moving to Ohio. I never found a good place in Columbus, but since moving to Cleveland I've found two. One of these was on my "must try" list for awhile, but I only went for the first time recently--Crust. Aptly named, their crust is delicious, especially the hand tossed, and their pizzas are comprised of some of the more flavorful toppings I've had. Despite what might be described as gourmet pizza, the atmosphere here is casual and friendly--very comfortable--and during warm weather one can sit out front on the patio. I'd call this a must for anyone living in or visiting Cleveland who desires an amazing pizza.

  • MJ S.

    I dream about this pizza it is so delicious. You have to get a couple sides of the homemade ranch to dip the crust in. It's heaven. The only bummer is, is that it's not very good reheated the next day so plan on eating it all the day you get it.

    (5)
  • Joe D.

    I will start with the good becasue I do really like this place. I have had crust twice now (a pepperoni and a spanish chorizo pizza), and both times it was delicious. The pizza tastes fresh and doesnt leave you with the feeling that you dumped a jar of salt in your mouth (Edisons). I have attempted to try the gnocchi and subs on several occasions. Unfortunately, this place closes at 7 p.m. on the weekdays. For those of us who arent 85 years old, this usually doesnt work. This place is in tremont, which is not exactly a hot spot for lunch (seeing as how most restaurants arent even open for lunch). So having a pizza establishment open from 11-7 really does not make much sense to me. So, if you find yourself craving pizza at 4 pm, I would definitely hit up crust. But if your schedule is like 90% of the rest of the world, you might have to settle for edison's.

    Crust is seriously good. a) The name don't lie. Their Crust tastes amazing. Although, I will admit one time I got it and it was a little TOO chewy, so that's something they should be aware of. b) Very reasonably priced, tastes fresh, doesn't make you feel super guilty after eating 4 pieces. However, I want to beg them to extend their hours. Closing at 7? Stay open til 10 or 11 and call it a day, Crust! Pleeeease. I want to eat you more. Nom nom nom.

    Come on Crust... Stop skimping on the toppings. At $3.50 apiece, our large pizza barely had any slab bacon on it. And only 4 eggs. Plenty of sausage and bacon though.

    Yup, I'm a fan!!! this place is defenitly a hidden gem, nice slice pizza for a great price. I got a cheese pizza and added a few toppings- he made a lunch combo for $5bucks!! Check them out-you will luv them...

    This pizza place just rocks. I am visiting from Milwaukee, and my uncle had been here once before and wanted to go back. He has good taste! We got the hot margherita pizza, which is a standard margherita pizza with hot pepperoni. The pizza was amazing - and the crust (we got regular) was just out of this world. The chef said they use pecorino cheese along with garlic to make it so tasty. They also make everything fresh in house the day of - which speaks to why it tasted so fresh. They also have all homemade salad dressings to go with their salads. I got the caesar on a recommendation from the waitress, and she was right on. To top it off, they make this flourless chocolate cake dessert in house and serve it with raspberry sauce. DECADENT to the extreme and a perfect ending to a long day. :) All in all, Crust was much more than I expected, and I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I had pizza this good. Check it out when you can - you won't be disappointed.

    Very good slice of pizza! Might be a bit too much dough( hand tossed) but I loved it. Flavorful sauce, authentic pepperoni and cheese. Fast, polite service. I only wish I had gotten a little more creative with my toppings. This was not a cheap slice of pizza, but you get what you pay for. Quality!

    Just had the Italian sausage pepper pizza Everything was fine except for the actual stuffed peppers on top. I like a little kick in my pizza so I ordered hot peppers. The peppers weren't spicy and the pork stuffed in the peppers had an odd texture, kind of like a meatball made mostly of bread. I called to asked what kind of meat they used and the guy said that they mix Parmesan into the pork. I was really wanting that sausage texture and spice! I'll give them another chance, just won't order that pizza again

  • Connie D.

    The best pizza in Cleveland! The hand tossed crust is soft and crunchy at the same time, with a hint of sea salt. I always get the fennel Italian salami one and although I really want to try another combination, I don't because it is always so good! Mike always remembers me and thanks me as if I gave him a vintage Mercedes. The best customer service anywhere along with the best truly homemade pizza for a very reasonable price. Mike had a great patio installed out front with an eclectic combination of paving stones and marble. It's a beautiful place to enjoy Crust!

    We loved the thin crust prosciutto specialty pizza here. Really amazing pizza, I was impressed by the kitchen- they make EVERYTHING from scratch. It's mostly a take-out place, though... I hope they are successful and can expand into a cozy little restaurant with wine to go with the great pizza!

    Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon, and got a Spanish Chorizo pizza and an Eggplant sub for a friend, and wow, I was very impressed. Fresh ingredients, and prompt service, and hell, if your going to call your restaurant "Crust", then the crust better be great, and happily it was. It was a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. Will definitely go again.

  • Some D.

    I'm giving you back one star because, AND ONLY AFTER, re-cooking my leftovers in the hottest oven I can manage in my apartment, the cheese melted, the meat was cooked and the doughy center of the edge crusts finished baking. This is sad. If I call in a takeout order from a pizza joint, I expect it to be a few things... fully cooked being one of the more important ones. I didn't just drop in for a slice. Also, the bacon on the other half of my sub was not even cooked. Just fatty, uncooked gristle. Wonderful. I'd take away a half star if I could.

    Ambiance: 4. Crust is a hole-in-the wall, but it's a) clean, b) has a hip vibe with chalkboard for announcements, ipad for payment, and an open kitchen and c) is opening a patio shortly on front to eat at. Still more of a to-go spot, but nice feeling like my food wasn't coming straight out of Ryan Reynold's movie "Waiting". Cost: 5. I really didn't want to write this review initially because I want to keep Crust to myself. A lot of their ingredients are fresh and they make dough fresh on the spot... but prices aren't any more than the average pizza shop ($10 to high-teens for medium and large pizzas). Win. Only one qualm- do not get fresh basil as a add topping, it's not "fresh basil" leaves as you'd think about it NY style etc, probably 10 cents worth of basil that was borderline out of a shaker. Food Quality: 5. I don't write about pizza much, but it's actual a favorite of mine. I've had it everywhere, from the best/most famous pizza shops in NY to deep dish favorites in Chicago. From the Redwood forest, to the Gulf Stream waters, that's me and pizza. Everywhere. And I can honestly say despite Cleveland generally having some of the weakest pizza shops on average, Crust is probably in the top 10% of pizza I've had anywhere. It's also amazing the breadth of high quality options. Both the thin crust and regular crust have been up to par. I've had the Lemon Rosemary Chicken Specialty pizza (great, although a bit heavy on the roasted potatoes) and build your own pizzas with no issues at all. They also have relatively rare hard to find gourmet toppings like truffle oil, eggs, capicola etc. Can't speak yet for the pastas or salads, but gauging from their attention to quality on the pizza they're probably strong it also. FYI some reviews mentioned they are heavy on the garlic on the crust, this is true but if you don't like garlic juxtaposed with your pizza then you have other issues. Service: 4. If you place an order they are friendly, unlike many pizza shops. If you dine in they are down to earth and caring about customers. My only knock is short hours right now (close at 7 or 8 on weekdays) but that's allegedly being extended soon. Even in Cleveland, "the city that always sleeps", that close time needs to get to 9 or 10pm. When to return: Pizza craving. When someone tells you there's no good pizza in Cleveland. Hipster watching. Outdoor patio in summer. Pizza pick up on the way home from work.

    i feel compelled to write this review because the pizza here is so delicious. the crust is ridiculously good - they put a little sea salt on the crust edge and give you some marinara to dip. the pieces are HUGE. and i almost fell out of my seat when i saw they only charge $3.00 for a cheese slice. WHAT???? $3.00 for the best pizza in CLE???? amazing cheese, amazing sauce and the guys behind the counter were so nice. i just wish this place was in chagrin instead of tremont.

    I have been to Crust on two occasions now and both times have been great. The pepperoni marhgerita pizza was to die for. You can really taste the high quality of the ingredients. I also got a meatball sandwich that was comparable to my mothers which is as high as praise as one can give! I had the Spanish chorizo sandwich on my second visit and I have never had any thing like it in a good way. Judging by the name you would think that the sandwiches would be an afterthought but they are the best in Tremont! Highly recommended and worth every penny!

  • Alyssa H.

    Crust is named crust for a reason. All of the ingredients are fresh (they even sprinkle fresh basil on top of the slices) when you bite into a slice, the bottom is perfectly crunchy crispy, while the middle part of the pizza is perfectly doughy. This pizza doesn't upset your stomach (like most of the other local shops do) the employees are unbelievably friendly and grateful you're doing business with them. From the cheese, to the sauce, to the crunchy, doughy crust this pizza is - hands down - one of the best I've had in some time. $3 for a slice of cheese, there's no excuse not to try it! Y U M

    Okay, yeah, totally bumping this one up to five stars. I went back here today with two friends and we each got a different pizza so we could share. Oh. My. God. The pizza was just as good as the gnocchi. Go. Go now.

  • Ryan F.

    What an excellent surprise. This place is about as good as a small neighborhood spot can aspire to be. I grabbed eight different pies for a group and they all loved them. Excellent choices and super fresh just like they say. My favorite was definitely the Prosciutto followed closely by the Mixed Mushroom. Thank you for an excellent pizza.

  • Grace H.

    This is my first yelp review- EVER. I think that speaks to just how wonderful my experience was at Crust last night. My girlfriends and I ordered the Copocollo pizza- it was AMAZING. Everything from the crust to the toppings was perfect including the service. The owner was there when we picked up our pizza and you could tell that he was truly excited for us to get to experience his "baby". His passion for the ingredients was evident and he wasn't shy about guiding us through the menu. If possible, he got me even more excited to eat the pizza than I was when I ordered it. The three of us also split the Park salad. It was a great addition to our meal and easily could have fed a couple others. Can't wait to go back to Crust!

    LOVE these pizzas and sandwiches. Finally NYC style pizza in Cleveland! Definitely go with a slice or a LARGE pizza...the small has too much crust for me/not enough cheese & sauce. The mediterranean chicken & italian sandwiches are also amazing. CRUST, Please stay open until at least 9:00 pm during the week. We want to eat you for dinner!!!!!

    Best. Gnocchi. Ever. The roasted tomato ricotta gnocchi is only outshined by the butternut squash ricotta gnocchi. Both are full of intense flavor but with flavors that complement rather than compete. Just yummy.

    Some of the best pizza around. Can't say anything about the subs because I haven't tried them yet but they look amazing. I give only 4/5 stars because of one experience when the pizza wasn't as good as a few other times we have been here. However, I'm sure this was just a growing pain. We will definitely be back.

    Incredible flavors! A friend invited us here for lunch and we were shocked at just how good it was. The homemade crust was fabulous and the salad was so very different. (Carmelized inions and roasted potatoes!) Then we tried the tiramisu for desert Another smashing success. We will return many times here!

  • Brent M.

    Last year we ate here (Tremont, Fall 2014). The huge slice we had then was amazing. The crust had the spices baked right in, so even the edge of the crust was delicious. The three guys behind the counter told us the painstaking process of making the dough, the Grande cheese, and the special sauce - and we understood why it was amazing. Went back in October and had same experience. Fast forward to Aug 2015. The Tremont location was staffed by a bunch of surly kids. Got 2 pizzas. The cardboard crust was crisp but tasteless. Wondering if with the expansion they've lost their handle on quality control or they've purposely changed the recipes. Please give us back the crust we remembered!

  • Lina A.

    We strolled in at 8:40pm on a Saturday night and staff was nice and friendly. I didn't feel the annoying eye rolls of us coming in so close to close. We ordered a medium four cheese pizza on regular crust and it really hit the spot. Delicious from the bread to the cheese, to the oil, to the spices. I'm kinda bummed that I've been in Cleveland for a year and a half now and I JUST found this place. Ah well, I'll make up for lost time! I wanted to go back today for a sub, but alas, it is Sunday and they are closed.

  • Danny C.

    this place was recommended by all my friends who have lived in Cleveland for a while. Apparently there's some team Edison's Vs. team Crust pizza feud going on locally. I haven't tried Edison's yet but Crust is delicious! It is a little pricier than I had expected but the pepperoni was worth it. Word of advice, call ahead if you're ordering anything more than a single slice! I waited for a while !

    (4)
  • Nicole B.

    Let me begin by saying I ordered a single slice of pepperoni pizza. It was the oddest tasting, colossally sliced piece of pizza that I've ever experienced. The size of the slice is just obnoxious and an extra topping is $1 extra on top of the original price of $4.50. Obnoxiously large and utterly unfulfilling because of how thinly the crust is rolled out. I didn't even bother eating the "head" of the pizza because of how awkward the crust actually tasted. Believe me...I came in there thinking I was going to be blown away by this homemade crust that ACTUALLY looked extremely delicious. All I can say is that it had a weird taste to it. I can't even EXPLAIN it, but something was just off and it didn't taste right. For a $1 extra per toppings they surely scrimped on the pepperoni slices. Probably about 5 pepperonis on an EXTRA EXTRA large pizza...HMMMMM. Their desserts look amazing so I'm definitely going to go back for that and to retry the pizza, but honestly I just don't understand the hype. The pizza sauce was bland, the crust had an odd taste, and the nice enough tasting pepperonis were few and far in between.

    Crust serves, hands down, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten, in any city, period. Their butternut squash specialty pizza (bacon, blue cheese, butternut squash, caramelized onions, & a balsamic reduction) handily replaces D.C.'s Pizzeria Paradiso's Genovese as my favorite gourmet pizza, which is lucky, since I live in Cleveland now, not D.C.... But seriously, this pizza will blow your mind - both sweet & savory, so flavorful. I also love that they make everything from scratch. This isn't shitty frozen pizza; this is pizza made with love. So why only four stars? I am reeeeally not enamored of Crust's set-up, which is more like a late-night jumbo-slice joint on a college campus than a real restaurant. They've got a couple small tables inside & four tables on a (lovely) patio outside, for when the weather is nice, but overall, this is the sort of place where you're probably getting your food to go... even though they don't deliver. I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy a gourmet pizza as soon as it's served, not after I've run out to pick it up & brought it back to my place to find it lukewarm & already borderline congealing. Also, I've not found the staff here (at least the front counter staff) to be particularly friendly, AND they don't have a restroom for customer use, which adds to the walk-in/walk-out vibe that I already don't love. That pizza is enough to give it four stars (the food alone is worth five), but I wish Crust was aspiring to something bigger than a hole in the wall with a walk-up counter & grumpy staff. I just think that, food-wise, Crust is a lot better than it's setting itself up to be, location-wise, & that bums me out. But the butternut squash pizza? Go get it, ASAP.

    My husband gets his hair cut next to Crust so now I'm always looking forward to his next haircut so I can have him bring home some food from Crust. The Spaniard sub is one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The best pizza I've had from here is the one with prosciutto (or maybe some other thin Italian meat) and arugula all over it. Oh man.

    (5)
  • Sheena W.

    Today we sampled Crust. Here is the lowdown on the goods... -Butternut Squash Ricotta Gnocchi: Thick and rich stick to your ribs deliciousness. Add a salad and you could definitely make this a hearty filling meal for two or four. -The Spaniard Sub: The bread has a lovely softness to the inside and I enjoyed being able to taste the goat cheese right away. -Capocollo Pizza: The thin crust is actually a bit thicker and chewier than I expected. In the first bite you immediately taste the saltiness of the cured ham and some heat from the red pepper flakes. I'd recommend sides of red sauce to aid in tastiness. All in all, good grub.

    OH my damn. So freakin' good. HUGE slices of hot, cheesy, New York style pizza that is to die for. Very small seating area, so be prepared to wait if you're coming at lunch like we did, but if you're lucky you'll score a corner table. Can't wait to get this for take-out some night. Delicious pizza pie!!

    It takes a lot of confidence to name your pizza business after the foundation of what literally makes a pizza! From the ground up this pizza was built on its Crust and it has deserved its name! Before ordering I asked the guys what I should try for my first visit. They highly recommended the Hot Margherita Pepperoni specialty pizza. So I went with it. Our friends ordered the same exact pizza so things got a little mixed up in the kitchen. For some reason only one was made but the gentleman who took my order quickly realized it and assessed the problem in a professional manor. He apologized and gave me a free slice of a pepperoni destroyer (Jumbo Slice) to enjoy as I waited and even refunded me for my specialty pizza. Excellent customer service! I'm not saying that because I was given freebies but more because they took notice of their mistake without me having to say anything. They made it a point to make sure I left happy without me dropping one complaint. These people truly take pride, in not only their product, but also in the way they conduct business in general. It's hard for me to name my favorite pizza place because I have a favorite for many different categories. Well, tonight Crust has earned a spot on my list as my "Favorite All Time Specialty Pizza." This Hot Margherita Pepperoni pizza was big in flavor and on top of a crust that was as crunchy and chewy as it gets. The hand sliced pepperoni, fresh garlic, roasted tomatoes & crushed red pepper complimented each other on the tastebuds with a perfect blend of flavors. It is finally dressed with a silky tasty layer of smoked mozzarella topped off with fresh basil to make for an aesthetically pleasing garnish. This specialty pizza was outstanding and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed it much more than the complimentary slice of the pepperoni destroyer. From now on when it comes down to ordering a specialty pizza; it's Crust or Bust for me!

    Daaaaaaang Crust! That slice of za was bigger than my forearm! Was dwelling on the fact of how much I missed those big juicy slices of NYC Pizza and Crust came pretty damn close I'll tell ya what! Love it! Can't wait to go back for more :)

    Ordered the Lemon Rosemary Chicken pizza. It was the most amazing pizza ever. Orgasm in my mouth, for real. Fortunately I don't live in Ohio, but unfortunately that means I can't eat here everyday. If I ever find myself back in Cleveland I'll be popping in. Totally recommend coming here.

  • Nathan R.

    Crust used to be my favorite place to get an awesome slice for $3, but they decided to blast the price up by 50%. Not cool. Maybe 50 cents at a time or something but a $1.50 increase is preposterous. Won't be back.

    Being new to the neighborhood, my fiancé and I have been making our way through the seemingly endless catalog that is Tremont Dining. We decided that pizza was the best option for the night. When it comes to pizza in Tremont, there seems to be a reigning king amongst locals and Clevelanders alike, but we won't get into that. My barber has been telling me about Crust for quite some time now, and thus it was time to give them a shot! I called ahead and ordered the Hot Margherita Pepperoni pizza-hand tossed. Our pizza was ready in 20 min, just in time for the Cavs Game! The staff was very friendly and even made recommendations for my next visit. (They knew i'd be back) GOOD GOD that pizza was delicious. Each bite was better than the bite before. The ingredients were insanely fresh, almost to the point that the pepperoni wasn't even necessary. Huge chunks of tomato, fresh basil, garlic, and the cheese was perfect. We could not have be happier with our decision. Crust, we will be enjoying you again very shortly!

  • Jessica C.

    Holy slices this place is good!!! You walk in, there's 3-4 ginormous pizzas on the counter ready for you to pick your toppings and bake them on. You can order by the slice or order a whole pizza. You can order whatever toppings you want by the slice. You would think that a premade pizza that has been sitting for awhile probably wouldn't be that great, but you're wrong. You're so wrong. We ordered by the slice and I opted for spinach and meatballs. They gave me a sample of their tiramisu while I waited. Heavenly!!! Pick a table and they bring out to you a foot long slice of pizza. Seriously, these slices are huge. They brought our little (big) slices of heaven out on wooden blocks. The first bite was as good as the last. I rarely eat the crust on pizza but I joyfully finished every bite - not right away as there was enough for me to bring some home. We had neighborhood Pizza Cat, "Yeppers," visit us as we were eating and happily shared some cheese with him. The only thing I would change is if I was ordering by the slice again, I probably would get just plain cheese. The toppings cost more than the slice itself, and I didn't really think the meatballs were anything special at all. They didn't really taste or look like meatballs even. It was still amazing. Next time I want to order our own personal pizza so I can try it all fresh out of the oven. Overall this is my new favorite pizza place in the area. It might even be better than Angelo's. It's definitely better than Edison's.

  • Matt S.

    Pretty solid pizza. I got a medium pepperoni pizza and it was quite good. The sauce was very fresh/interesting. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but still good. They have a lot of unique specialty pizzas, but I can't speak to their taste because that's not really my thing. The place itself is quite small, only a handful of 4 person tables, seems more like a place where you order to go.

    This is the first time I've been to this place and had a great chicken parm sandwich. It was so filling and reasonably priced. I ordered a pizza to go while I was eating and they forgot to make it but quickly redeemed themselves and gave me a free pizza on top of the one I ordered. Everything was amazing. Definitely be back there soon!

  • Krystal E.

    This weekend I gave Crust a second try; this time going in the opposites of flavor with the butternut squash pizza and WOW was it good. It had generous amount of butternut squash and more importantly: bacon. I ordered a thin crust, and perhaps I got unlucky last time, but I could taste that salty buttery taste everyone raves about with the crust. The cheese came through at unexpected moments and was truly a nice balance of flavors. I'm incredibly happy to have given this a second try thanks to their great customer service and owner; it will now be on my list of regulars!

    Pepperoni pizza was amazing. Crust was a perfect blend of crunch and chew. The ultimate Italian was a tad spicy, but I loved it. Roasted red bell peppers, banana peppers, seasoned olive oil and crushed red peppers made this sub disappear.

    Crust, I'd give you 6 stars if I could. It was a Saturday night and a large group (14) got together for a birthday dinner in Tremont. Our first choice restaurant didn't end up working out and we were playing a frantic game of "let's call every other restaurant in the area" to figure out wait times. 2 hours. 3 hours. Nope nope nope. Then I had the brilliant idea of heading to Crust (I"m so good). I was worried we'd be standing around since it's such a tiny place but it worked out WONDERFULLY. The guys were super accommodating and let us put several tables together. They explained all the menu items and which pizzas were vegetarian or could be made veggie. We took up the entire seating area, but no one minded. To top that off, they brought out silverware and cups of water for everybody and our pizzas came out hot and fresh and at the same time. Of course I don't need to comment on the pizzas - they're freakin' delicious. We all shared slices of the butternut squash (my favorite), lemon rosemary chicken (potatoes on a pizza - cause carbs on carbs is the best), Spanish chorizo (with goat cheese and red peppers), and hot margherita pepperoni. It ended up being a really fun night. Thank you, Crust!

    I've been here twice now, and both times I've had a great experience. The first trip I tried the lemon rosemary chicken pizza and the second trip I had the butternut squash pizza. Both were amazing. Their hand tossed crust is so good...I can't wait to try their gnocchi next time. Also, one of the employees' grandma makes homemade cheesecake and brings it in every week. It is incredible. The owner is here is so nice and pleasant to talk to!

    A torrential downpour early Monday evening when we found out Ginko is closed brought us to Crust which I had been wanting to try for some time. Needless to say, Angelo is pissed because his pies are half off on Mondays. At first glance, the inside was pretty cozy and only had a few tables. It was also the same temperature as a sauna in the middle of summer. Do they not have AC? This is Cleveland which is never mild so I didn't really get that. The young lady that took my order was very friendly but didn't really give me a recommendation when I asked for one and said I had never been before. Maybe the oddest part about the whole experience was that Mariah Carey was on repeat the entire time we were there. Always Be My Baby wasn't good even in 1993 and I certainly never want to hear it multiple times while in a hipster neighborhood.. We ordered a Caesar salad and a medium pepperoni marguerite pizza. The salad came out first and was nothing more than chopped romaine with 1 large quartered tomato and some chopped fresh Parmesan with the dressing on the side. Yes, I said that - a Caesar with the dressing on the side. Who ever heard of such a thing? The tomato wasn't very tasty and was not sweet at all like I was hoping for and the salad didn't even have croutons. I know a Caesar salad is a generally pretty basic salad but it shouldn't be hard to just do it right, and this one was half-assed for $8. The pizza came out hot and the crust was really delicious, nice and soft but a little crispy on the bottom. The same tomatoes covered the pizza though so you can imagine I wasn't thrilled at the bland taste. I'd say overall this was worth 2-1/2 stars but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I believe we just didn't order the right things...hence why I think a front line worker should always have a recommendation so I don't F up my order and not like it. I'll give it another chance sometime though!

    An all home made kitchen all the time, whats not to like? 1) Bring your own beer or wine. They have openers at the counter. 1a) If you forget to bring beer or wine, they sell it across the street at the bookstore. (I know, weird. But just go with it.) 2) Park in the adjacent lot. Big bonus in Ohio City, off street parking. 3) Ask for the pizza "well done". 4) Enjoy!

    This place really does live up to its name, And if you're a crust guy like me that's a positive. Shared some medium Margherita (hand-tossed) with a buddy and it was excellent. I'm usually not as big a fan because I'm also a pizza sauce guy (when it's done well), but this was well done down to the fresh basil. The prices are reasonable and they have pasta, salad, and sandwich options as well that sound delicious. I took off some credit for the limited eat-in seating. If you're not going to offer it, I feel like you should set up like Valentino's in Little Italy, and maybe just offer a few seats outside when the weather is permitting. Overall though, this place is a really worth a stop in Tremont. I'm glad I did.

    Wow. Fantastic pizza, huge slices. Crispy crust, sweet sauce. The sausage is great. Expect a line at lunchtime, this place gets packed. Best pizza I've had in cleveland.

    YES YES YES! Great pizza and it is all made from scratch in house! I was visiting Cleveland to see my young nephew and thought this was a good place for him. The seating area is not big at all, just 5-6 tables. But, I loved that I could see into the kitchen and watched as they prepared everything right there! The staff is really friendly. They have pizza by the slice, which is one of the biggest slices you have ever seen! One piece is enough for a meal and they will top is with whatever you like. They also have made to order pies which are amazing! The crust is the best part for me! Its crispy and doughy and perfect! (The flatbread is also amazing bc it is....just crust! They top it with parm cheese and red pepper flakes. yum!) They have some amazing looking desserts, too. But I was too full to try. Will be visiting again, next time I am in Cleveland.

    This is far and away the best pizza joint in Cleveland. I grew up in Philly and so I am partial to east coast style hand tossed. Crust nails it. They oil and salt their crust which makes it even better. If it weren't for Crust I don't know that I could live in Cleveland. The second best pizza here isn't even close. Please give this place all your business.

    Stopped in for takeout one night last week. Fast, friendly service at the counter and they had Hamilton calling the game in the background, so that was a plus. Pizza was actually really good. Sandwich was good too, but I agree that the bread/filling ratio is too high. Price was good for both. I will return for the pizza, fo sho.

    Nom nom nom. Good hand tossed pizza. I've had take out from Crust before- however, getting it fresh is the way to go. We stopped in tonight- it's definitely a small restaurant with maybe 5 high top tables, but it's fun to go in and watch them make pizza. We split the roasted eggplant pizza- it came out nice and hot- with a slight crunch to it's crust. The arugula was fresh, the balsamic was tasty, the red sauce was great, and the crust- was sooo good. They added some salt to the crust- I could eat just crusts all day long. We devoured a whole pizza by ourselves- it was that good. The staff looked impressed by us too. If you're craving for a good pizza crust, crust is the place to be! Definitely worth the try!
