Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I was really excited to try Crust out- I'd been waiting for it to open for months since I live in the area. I've tried out several of the other "different" pizza places around- Peace A Pizza, Bake 425, etc., and unfortunately I still prefer Dominos pizza to any of these. I was hoping Crust would be different, but it looks like the Bryn Mawr-area Main Line might have yet another mediocre specialty pizza shop to add to the list. I mean, don't get me wrong- these places don't suck, by any means, but none of them exactly WOW me either. The GOOD: 1) Pizza is good. It is. Obviously since this is "Crust Neapolitan Brick Oven Pizzeria" don't expect a typical Italian[-American] pizza like you would at Cenzo's or something. 2) Unique toppings. A little disappointed I couldn't order a basic Pepperoni pizza here, although they've added it to their menu since I've been there. 3) They now offer gluten-free, which is a plus in my book. I'm a fan of healthy alternatives. I haven't tried this dough yet. 4) Ambiance works. Casual, relaxed setting. The BAD: 1) Staff was not knowledgeable, not particularly friendly, and seemed really bored and unhappy to be working there. I think they're Mediterranean Grill employees who were forced into working at the boss' new pizza shop next door, and were probably unhappy to be serving pizza rather than making tips off of Mediterranean Grill's clientele. (Pure speculation, mind you) 2) Things seemed disorganized. Staff seemed confused. I chalk this up to how new this shop was. This probably shouldn't be held against them. Will update next time I give it another go. 3) They didn't have any cannolis when I went :( Again, probably because I went when they were so new. Then again, don't open if you're not ready!! 4) Overpriced, imho. Summary: I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars. Definitely not a contender for 5 stars. I'm sure I'll go again, at some point, when I feel like overpaying for an average pizza. Usually I prefer to underpay for a yummy pizza, hence my affection for Dominos. Don't hate.

In the time after we ordered, I had time to read all the reviews of this place. I was extremely underwhelmed. Not only did I wait bout 30 mins for my pizza, the restaurant was not remotely crowded. I have still not tasted the pizza....

Got pizza and salad. Both were delicious. Server was very friendly. Coming back for sure.

I'm always willing to try a new pizza place in the area and was hoping Crust would be a step above the other choices in Bryn Mawr. Unfortunately that really wasn't the case for a few reasons: 1. We were seated and they had to wait at least 8 minutes before anyone came to our table. This is not a big restaurant and there was no reason why it took this long for someone to acknowledge us. 2. My drink came with a huge chunk of ice in it, how difficult would it have been to break up the ice before you put it into a glass? 3. The pizza was just O.K. It was under-seasoned and the dough tasted like it was frozen rather than fresh dough. It's an Italian style pizza which isn't so easy to find in the area however given the premium prices for their pies it didn't deliver. 4. After our pizza was brought out no one came to our table to ask if we needed anything else. I needed to go up to the counter twice-once to ask for pepper and once for the check. I agree with the other reviewer about the staff-they seemed apathetic. When I went to the counter to ask for our check the woman seemed annoyed that I would be asking at the counter. If someone could do a high quality Italian pizza in the area they could do great, unfortunately Crust isn't that place.

When I first started working in the area a few months ago, I wanted a quick bite for lunch. Thought I would give crust a try. They couldn't serve me a slice at the time (I hear they recently started serving slices) so I had to order a sandwich which took 15 minutes with barely anyone in the restaurant. They didn't ask me anything about sides, and I was disappointed to find a potato wedge with my sandwich... Really? A potato wedge? On top of that, the whole meal (potato wedge included) was bland and boring. I steer all my coworkers away from this place.
(2)Joe D.
Great pizza. I love their white pies with the truffle oil. Just a great little place to stop in and grab a bite. Very friendly waitstaff. What do you expect, it's just a little pizza place! You expect good quick pizza, and that's what you get!

It's a shame that with all of the pizza places on the Main Line, NONE of them are really any good. I was hoping that my experience at Crust would finally break this area free from the lame pizza curse, but sadly it did not. It's not that the pizza is BAD, it's just mediocre. What bothered me though is that if you are going to name your restaurant Crust than I think it is especially important that your crust actually be REALLY good. To me it tasted exactly like bread sticks. Hard, flat, and plain. Even though the other reviews claim that the customer service was terrible, I found it to be pretty good. Perhaps the employees who weren't doing a good job are gone. Pros -really nice atmosphere, great BYOB (romantic, rustic) -outdoor seating -friendly service -tasty toppings (the pizza called Blanca was yummy, except for crust) -good location (alongside many other wonderful local businesses) Cons -cafeteria-style tables crowd people too close together -parking (finding a spot on Lancaster Avenue is difficult and stressful, especially in this area) -VERY bland pizza crust

Pretty decent artisan pizza, cafeteria style seating which is annoying if its crowded but not a big deal. Cool new spot in Bryn Mawr nice change from pizzeria style pizza. Hope it lasts.

1 word: ugh. 1. Service: The server we had must have had short term memory, he kept forgetting what we ordered literally a minute after we told him. At least write it down if you can't remember! Not to mention, the workers were talking to each other loudly about Captain America. I'm pretty sure they got some of the comic store workers next door to come waiter! No one was dressed like a waiter, I couldn't have told you who was doing what. 2. Sucky food. My friend and I split a caprese sandwich and a Mediterranean pizza. The caprese sandwich was a sad thing. The bread tasted old, at least they could have toasted it up. It was flavorless. I couldn't believe it! The pizza had soggy center syndrome which I can't stand. Toppings were very salty. Crust wasn't flavorful. Bottom line: it sucked. The only good thing was their iced tea, which was fresh brewed. At least that was okay. They don't make their lemonade fresh, though. 3. Seating is annoying. It's like the other reviewer said, cafeteria style. Yuck. Bottom line: Don't go here. If you want a sandwich, go down to Milkboy. If you want pizza, Bertucci's is even better than this.

Pizza was "ok" at best...everything else about this place was TERRIBLE, the cafeteria style seating and dreadful service were a bad combination! Save yourself the frustration and do not go here! It's a BYOB and is a haven for 19 year old college kids to come drink. You've been warned...
(2)Marlene B.
We had a very similar experience as Emily (I think) who had delivery. Cold pizza, 1-1/2 hours after we called, 1/2 mile from the store. The phone peeps said the delivery guy didn't have our address. The delivery guy told us to complain to the phone people. We asked specifically for Caesar without croutons, and they did not comply. The pizza's ok, but not worth the trouble. Expensive too.
(1)John H.
Pepperoni pizza was quite good. Salad was pretty good. Coke products. But, did I see someone say friendly service? I don't recall the last time I've been to a pizza place with such surly servers. They must be daughters of the pizza makers. There was no danger of any of them cracking a smile either. It was getting into the busy time on a Friday night. Maybe they were a server short (maybe not; it is not a large place). But, server alert - rolling eyes and frowns as you turn your back may not be visible to the customer making the request - yet the rest of the customers can see you. No need to return.

The food's good. Fresh, some stuff tastes homemade. But eating in? Two long tables, so if there's only room in the middle, this being the Main Line, don't expect anyone to move over or let you in. And who to eff are these young men loitering around? I mean, the place is empty, and I hafta WAIT for the waiter? Oh, wait, he's conversing with the ONE other customer. For these prices, there should be something resembling service and an atmosphere. I'm not going back. I feel bad for the cook and I hope he can get a better job. This place is run like shit!

Did takeout of their margarita pizza and it was pretty good! I have to say that I'm kind of surprised... for some reason, the restaurant didn't look very appetizing but the pizza itself was different. The sauce was sweet and salty but not too much of either and the mozarella was delicately placed with the basil... Loved it! My mom is more into fine cuisine and not into pizza at all but she had 3 slices!! That has to count for something
(4)Ryan K.
A disgrace to Bryn Mawr and the Main Line...the 4/11 reviewer who wrote "gross" is right. The adjective that comes to mind to describe this pizza is "squishy." The pizza is squishy. Not foldable...foldable pizza can have a nice crisp crust at the bottom that crackles when you fold it up. This pizza is soft, squishy, and wet greasy. It reminds me of bad ballpark or service station pizza. It's one thing to not prefer a place--another to dislike it wholeheartedly. I will go out of my way to tell people to avoid this pizza. You will at best be disappointed, or at worst, very sorry you went.

Got a pepperoni pizza that was superb! Just the right amount of cheese, sauce and pepperoni. Wonderful flavor and perfect crust... not too thick or too thin. Great to have high quality pizza on the Main Line.

Some of my least favorite pizza yet... The outside decor of this pizza joint indicated to me that it was something to take note of. The sign is sort of cute and rustic, with lights around the text of the sign and an "old" feel to the store front. I walked in excited for some great pizza and boy, was I wrong! First of all, my friend and I were the ONLY people in the place and the waitress took out order (she was pleasant but we saw her on her phone a good deal) and it took THIRTY FIVE MINUTES for the pizza to come out....I'll let that sink in. For "fresh" "homemade" pizza should thirty five minutes be the length of time for a pizza to be baked if we are the only ones in the place? NOPE! The pizza came out and honestly, it looked pretty boring. We got the margarita one and the ratio of cheese to sauce was way off (not enough cheese) and the pieces of basil were wilted and soggy, and looked like they had been ripped by hand and thrown on. Besides being scarce, the cheese wasn't seasoned enough. The sauce was nothing of note, it wasn't horrible but it was a tad sweet and tasted like canned sauce. There were no herbal notes or flavor nuances. The worst part for me, the part that ruined the pizza, was the crust. The texture and taste of the crust was like old cardboard! No flavor, no chewiness, no depth. I was REALLY disappointed with this place and will not be visiting again.

Pizza = 5 stars. Thin crust with a perfectly done brick oven taste. Chicken ranch and sausage red pepper were both awesome and sauce and cheese were top notch. So why only three stars?? .... Ambiance - not the best but certainly good enough ... That would have only knocked it down half a star Service- Zero stars- that's being generous btw. Our unpleasant waitress began by rushing us to order, not telling us what the specials were, etc. then she brought out our delicious pizza while holding a windex bottle and rag right over the pie!!! Whoa mrs clean ... Really? Never smiled entire time and just dropped the bill and walked away without saying a word. Felt like we were treated like dirt.
(3)Emily S.
Came here for dinner with my dad today. We shared the grilled chicken sandwich and the margherita pizza. The pizza was delicious (especially the sauce) and the sandwich was decent. However, the service wasn't the best, as the server wasn't very attentive and forgot to bring napkins, utensils etc. several times. I guess it isn't exactly a "full-service" restaurant atmosphere, though. Would come again for the great food, but maybe just for pick-up.
(4)Adrienne A.
Gross! I have walked past this place several times and always wanted to give it a try. Well... 15 minutes ago I did. The pizza was SO greasy that the crust was just mush. I couldn't even hold it because it was sopping with grease. Even if I was able to get past this unappetizing sight, the taste was subpar. I had such high expectations, what a waste of $20. This is not how authentic pizza is made... I could have ordered Dominos and been happier.... THATS how bad it was...
(1)Rebecca C.
Honestly don't understand ANY of the negative reviews. This place has FANTASTIC pizza. I always get the Crust Blanca (ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, TRUFFLE OIL) and the Fire Roasted Veggie (eggplant, peppers, GOUDA). I love this place and feel so lucky to live so close to it. Honestly don't get pizza anywhere else.
