| - I was in the mood for pizza and remembered this place tucked away on the side of a strip mall. I had been meaning to try this place out for a couple of years and since it is my birthday week decided to head on over. Parking was right in front and I entered through the door marked for "to-go orders" as that was what I planned on making. This brought me straight into tables with the bar at the far end.
After reviewing the menu, which had all of the usual stars in a pizza place I decided upon a staple favorite, the margharita pizza. What I got was anything but usual, however. If you like a little bit of sauce brushed over texas sized toast with mozzarella medallions and a topping of your choice added, basil leaves on the side then this is the pizza joint for you.
Yes, I understand, I am lunching in an italian place named Crust which serves pizza. It's not exactly the healthiest thing I could have done, but I was not expecting that. It is sold as "medium" crust, penned just below their "thin" crust which I assume is what the pictures show. I was expecting to get my pizza on, but the guilt has set in and I am covered in the familiar grease that I remember from the combination of pizza and texas toast. If I go back it will be better informed and to order a thin crust. Be warned. The Medium crust is THICK and hard to cut. Had a couple of pieces jump off my plate as I attempted to cut the stuff up. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was worth the price, but I did get my money's worth.
The staff was nice and prompt, however. I can see how this place would be a popular choice for lunch or dinner.
