What People Are Saying About The Crust Pizzeria and Restaurant

“This place does sausage for pizza just like the pizza place in Pittsburgh I remember fondly from my childhood. They cook it to almost done as a link, freeze it, then grate it. Turns out amazing when cooked on the pizza in the oven. Haven't found another place that does this method in the valley. Only wish is that they would offer hot sausage as a topping done this way. Owner is really friendly and if I order a well done pizza and I'm there waiting for it they ask me if it is dark enough for my liking before pulling it from the oven. Awesome place. Fiance loves the stromboli. I love their Sicilian pizza.”

“Can't believe I've never been here, but what a delightful surprise. The pizzas look amazing and they are all so very tasty. The crust is just the right amount of soft and a satisfying crunch. Brings me back to Brooklyn. Service was great as well and my pizza came fast and hot. Will be back for more! Came back today to find that they have outside seating. This is definitely my go to spot for pizza. The staff even brought my dog water. I didn't ask for it. They are amazing! The penne vodka was so tasty and the white pizza is my new favorite. P.s Love that each table has condiments.”

“**About a year later & I returned thought I'd update. Everything is still fresh and delicious, owner still a smiling friendly face & employees still helpful & lovely. Today i tried the Mexican chicken slice which was absolutely phenomenal. They do chicken cutlet how chicken cutlet is meant to be done. They have a creamy spicy sauce & jalapeños, tomatoes, fresh garlic, I think maybe onion? Idk exactly but I can tell you that you need to try it. Will always come back here. Food & vibes are impeccable. Parking lot though- can be tricky 😄 but worth it. I encourage everyone to branch out here & try a new slice. If there's any place nearby to be brave it's this one so it would be remiss of you not to. Original post I happened upon this restaurant when I had a doctors appointment nearby. I can not articulate how pleasantly surprised I was with the quality of food. I'm originally from Jersey so I don't typically set my hopes too high for pizza in PA but this place met my preferences & then some. Highly recommend the white pizza and the gyro. All of their ingredients are super fresh, the employees (and owner) are so friendly, the place is super clean & they have really great unexpected slice options. I had my trepidation about the gyro slice but only bc I didn't want soggy warm lettuce. The lettuce somehow was still lovely and crisp after heating the slice and the tzatsiki on it was incredible. I will absolutely drive out the 40min simply to try more food here.”

“This place is one of my favorites in rotation. Pizza is always such a delight when I think of a comfort food. Whether I'm getting a nice fresh slice on my lunch or sitting down with friends and family I am met with friendly service in a relaxed casual atmosphere. While I'm writing this I'm thinking of the delicious cheese and sauce… I'll probably head over for lunch today!”
