| - I've been to Crust twice and though the food was very good both times, our server last Thursday was snippy. Granted, we ended up having 7 people in our lunch party and the restaurant was busy--we should have called ahead perhaps. However, it was one of those last minute things. I ended up coming in about 20 minutes before the other six people in my party. So they did have notice. I sat down at a large table...it's seat yourself...and it took a little time before the server (or anyone) approached me. Neither the server nor the grey-haired man behind the bar (the manager?) was at all welcoming. They rounded up a couple more chairs. I wasn't given a menu or asked if I wanted something to drink. Eventually (10 minutes later), the server asked me if I wanted something to drink while I waited for the rest of the group. I ordered iced tea and asked for a menu. In this economy, they should have been thrilled with a group of 7 no matter how busy they were.
At any rate, the food was excellent. So good that I took my sister back there today. Today our server, Jaquin, was just wonderful. He was helpful, prompt, and very pleasant. I had the Bella Rosa rustica pizza last Thursday and today I had the God Daughter. My sister had the eggplant, garlic, and basil pizza. We both had Caesar salad. All of the food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. It was sooooo yummy that this may be my new favorite place for a casual meal. My sister and I raved about the place later to friends who will be going soon.
I'm giving Crust 5 stars because it is an excellent place with really good food and it is NOT (thank heavens) a chain! It is locally owned, I believe, and I hope that you will give Crust a try.
Ask for Jaquin to be your server!
