| - 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.
