We did NOT know how large the portions were- be prepared- you will not finish your food (in a good way). We ordered Individual pizzas- larger than we thought! Lots of vegan topping options, also an order of seitan bites - teriyaki. Service was great and quick- friendly staff. The seitan was delicious- but while you can eat a lot of them- they may keep you full for 24 hrs lol. read more

As a local Asbury Park family, we were excited to finally try Crust & Crumble for pizza this past Friday after a beach bike ride with our two young children. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and even unsafe. When we first walked in, my toddler picked up a teddy bear from the window display that was within her reach. Before I could return it, the woman behind the counter sharply told us to put it back. If décor is placed at child level, a kinder approach would go a long way. The bigger issue came when I asked for a simple cup of water for my kids. Despite spending nearly $50 on pizza, I was told they don't offer water and directed to buy bottled water. After back and forth (and my son in tears), someone reluctantly filled his bottle, but only with a rude attitude that made me feel like I was asking for something out of line. To make matters worse, while I was speaking with the staff, my son leaned on a plastic mobile fence-like partition on wheels, which tipped over and injured his foot. His foot swelled immediately, and not once did anyone on staff check if he was okay. Later, my husband asked for a pizza box and again was met with attitude instead of help. I don't consider my family high maintenance, nor were any of my requests egregious. I've never once encountered such attitude from a local business -- especially in a family-friendly town like Asbury Park. The pizza itself was fine, but the service, lack of hospitality, and unsafe setup in the restaurant made this an awful experience for our family. Pizza should be a family-friendly outing -- Crust & Crumble made it anything but. We will not be returning. read more

Crust & Crumble - Mexellent - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Crust and Crumble has the coolest design and atmosphere, it is so homey and original. They host the coolest theme nights and private parties. I have always loved their delicious food as it offers vegan and non-vegan food alike. The theme of the food is more collegey-pizza-fat sandwiches, pastas, and "trash plates". 10/10 recommend, I love their vegan pizzas and pastas! read more

I don't know what happened to this establishment but the service is cold and unwelcoming. The food is overpriced and the service is depressing. I always felt a bad vibe here but enjoyed the vegan options. I'm never coming back after a recent encounter here with a very rude woman at this establishment. Save your money and get pizza elsewhere. BE NICE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. THEY PAY YOUR BILLS!! read more

I loved it here! The staff was so friendly and kind. The atmosphere was so cool. The way the tables are decorated. The detail on chairs. Everything was so cool. They had outdoor and indoor seating. Very extensive vegan menu. And the food was delicious. Literally no complaints. I would eat here every single day if I could lol also, this is somewhere where I could bring my toddlers and I don't think it would be a problem with them being toddlers. (Parents, you know what I mean) All jokes aside, one of the best vegan spots in New Jersey. Top 5. read more

We have been coming to Crust and Crumble forever. In the recent past, we were not thrilled with the food or portions. As vegans and vegetarians, we were so disappointed. But today we decided to give it one last try. We ordered the vegan cheesesteak, fries, 2 orders of seitan wings, a large pizza with vegan pepperoni and sausage, and a margherita small pie. Thrilled to report everything was perfect! Thanks for fixing whatever was messed up. You are on our hot parade again! read more

I go here for my pizza every couple months. Best meat pizza ever, when the owner is working. The best. I got the bbq chicken and plain pizza a couple nights ago. I had guests. I was embarassed by the pizza. The plain pizza was ok, but it was 25% thick crust. The bbq chicken was a disaster. 40% thick crust... and a soupy mix in the middle. Not to my liking, but if you like a lot of thick crust, like 40%, you would enjoy it more I can chalk it up to a one off, but it was $45 wasted. Make sure the owner is working, and not the younger staff. read more

Vegan options are A+++!! If you feel like you're missing out on that greasy unhealthy mouth watering fried fast food as a vegan- this is your spot!!! The spot is so cute it has such a cool vibe to it and its ambiance was so unique! Little area for movie watching and like a cool neon astro galaxy vibe- never seen anything like it! The girl at the front was super nice and service was awesome. We ordered something not on the menu, but it definitely should be - VEGAN PENNE VODKA PIZZA!!!!! Are you KIDDING?! loved it so much. Tried the fried ravioli and jalapeño poppers as well, poppers were so spicy for me but my bf loved. Definitely returning to try everything else and will update when i do!!! read more

ASBURY PARK: Crust & Crumble Pizzeria & Bakery is a fun restaurant right across from Wesley Lake and leashed-dogs are allowed to eat at the outdoor patio! The menu is Italian-style, but with a fun twist! They have a traditional menu and a separate menu with a nice selection of vegan options. We couldn't resist indulging in a fat sandwich and fries! It was so delicious! You can order inside, so have somebody watch the pup outside, and then the friendly staff will bring it out to you take-out style. They also have specials throughout the week including: $12 large pizza Mondays $10 lunch combos Mondays-Fridays 10% off vegan menu on Wednesdays A unique thing about this place is that it is part of the Shoppes At The Arcade, which is an indoor, dog friendly, multi-level shopping complex! An interesting place to walk around and find cool things! Paws Pet Boutique is in there too! Look for the golden pizza in any of the shops and if you find it, you win a large pizza! read more

Excellent vegan options would definitely go back Vegan dessert options also We had vegan chicken sandwich and vegan pizza

I decided to take this mini road trip to try their vegan pizza. I was recommend this spot and since we all now have a lot of time on our hands I figured why not. I called in the order and they said it will take about 15 minutes til ready. When I got there I was only really able to take picture of the outside and menu because they were not allowing people inside due to the virus. The lady literally cracked the door, took my payment and gave me my food. They were playing no games lol! She was nice about it though. I ordered the vegan sausage, pepperoni, pepper and onion deep dish and it was good. read more

Crust & Crumble - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Wow just wow. I haven't had bad pizza in a minute but this place has made me think twice about what's the worst I've ever had. It's a good thing the name has crust in it because it was quite thick. It just felt like I was eating bread. The sauce tasted like ketchup and the double pepperoni had them all placed at the bottom of each slice. The chicken parm was dry and the bread was tasteless and also dry. We waited a while for everything and it still came out lukewarm. The actual dining area is dirty and smells. I'm unsure who thought it was a good idea to have cats in all the pictures, menus, and decor but I would dial that back considering you sell pizza. read more

Super yummy vegan spot! My favorite type of vegan food is comfort food and that's exactly what this is! We split the meatball sub (which was huge!) and mozzarella sticks. I think their meatballs are homemade, but they're better than any store brand I've had! We enjoyed the very stretchy cheese! My boyfriend is not vegan and loved it all. The coffee crumble was absolutely amazing, super soft and tasty. The servicer was funny and kind! Would highly recommend this place for vegans and non vegans alike! read more

I love this spot!! This is my go to for salads they have a bunch of options... they also have some great appetizers

I've been here twice and the only thing I did not like was the spaghetti. It is not the way to go, even if you're not trying to eat anything crazy. It is the exact opposite of crazy. It's bland. But everything else I have had is good and they're BYOB, so I gave them the 5th star back. It's a super cool place with a variety of options, you cannot go wrong. If they had more locations, I think they would kill it. read more

Our family got together for movie night. We cannot say enough about the wonderful menu, great service, decorations and special touches which made the night an enormous success. For the kids we chose Aladdin. They were well feed and entertained while the adults enjoyed a very complete and wonderful meal that complemented the theme of the movie. Our "Jasmine"server was perfect. We cannot say enough to recommend this experience; it was enjoyed tremendously by all that attended. Thank you Luke for making this happen. read more

Amazing vegan menu and super cool ambiance. The food was delicious, and the portions huge (one half sandwich would be plenty for two people to share). We'll definitely return. read more

Best cookies ever! Soft, perfect balance of flavors! Love all the flavors! Fast delivery too

Awesome experience. Food was amazing, service was fast, and everyone there was super friendly and helpful. Prices were fair too, sandwiches were huge. Great place for a quick but satisfying bite! read more

This is the place to go when you have a mix of vegan and non vegans. Everyone wins. The menu options are endless. The food is fresh and delicious. Employees are helpful and courteous. The owner puts his heart and soul into this business. I simply can't turn down the Frachos on the vegan menu. You don't want to miss those. And you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. House made bread! My favorites are The Original Coal and The Vegan Cheesesteak. The personal style pizzas are great too. I recommend The Bianca. And don't forget one of the many baked goods. I usually have to take that home from being stuffed from my meal. The portions are so generous that I always have leftovers. read more

They have an extensive menu, including many vegan and gluten free options. They also have personal deep dish pizzas. For gluten free, so far I have to say this is the best I've had in the area. I've also tried non-gf and they are quite good as well. I like the variety of toppings available. Personal sized pizzas are just the right size. They also offer various pastries and desserts. Staff is always friendly and nice. read more

This place is out of this world! I have been on the lookout for local places with gluten and dairy free options as I have been battling some pretty bad stomach issues. I read about this awesome place on Yelp and decided to get some takeout a few months ago. I've never had vegan cheese on pizza before this, and I have to say, my tastebuds didn't really taste the difference in taste! The texture was slightly different but that's about it. All the flavors tasted amazing on my pie. I didn't really love the gluten free crust but I know it's hard to compare gluten free crust to the real thing. My boyfriend decided to try vegan cheese for the first time ever and he loved it too! The fries were crispy and we loved the sauce it came with, had so much garlic flavor. The staff was really kind and attentive and the atmosphere was fun and eclectic. I would definitely come back! read more

My favorite place to get food in Asbury Park incredible vegan menu. Love that they serve neapolitan pizza! And the vegan lemon bar was *chefs kiss* delicious. I would post a picture but it was so good I forgot to take one lol read more

I've been here twice now and both times were spectacular. VEGAN FAT SANDWICHES!!!! What more could you ask for?!? Vegan pizza? Yes! Vegan wings .. also yes!!! Vegan desserts?!? Indeed! I feel like a vegan queen walking into this restaurant. The staff is amazing and so kind. Quick service and delicious food. The quantity of food that you get for the price is amazing. You can get a half sandwich for $10 and the serving is HUGE. If you have a large group just get one whole sandwich and share. Soooo great. I wish I lived closer because I would come here all the time. Edit** I wanted to mention this last time but, the worker chris is seriously the best!!!! read more

I love this place so much! I've been going here for years now and highly recommend it! My only complaint is that I wished a little closer. The 40ish minute drive is always worth it though. My husband and I usually come here for dinner when we go to the beach or for a weekend date night. There are a a ton of street metered parking in front and nearby the restaurant. There is outside and inside seating available. The restaurant is fun, welcoming and bright inside. It's BYOB so that's always a great plus. Their menu is super unique because they have meat options, vegetarian options and even a whole vegan menu! Our favorite appetizer on the menu is the vegan buffalo bites. We get these every time we come here! They are made from seitan and super tasty and delicious! We tried the vegan mozzarella sticks before also, but they weren't my favorite. It used to be my fave comfort food before I became vegan but I didn't love these. Our go to on their menu is their vegan pizza! You can make your own pizza or they have specialty pizzas you can choose from. Personal size pizza is $12 and large is $27. Our favorite is the mariachi pizza which has chipotle sauce, seitan, onions and jalapeño. It's super tasty, every ingredient on it compliments each other well, and the crust is great. The vegan cheese on the pizza is super tasty and tastes better than the typical store bought vegan cheeses. I believe it's cashew based. They have gluten free crust, traditional crust and wheat crust options. I really want to try their vegan fat cat sandwiches sometime soon! Their menu has so many great options. They have vegan, gluten free and regular desserts available also on display in the front of the restaurant. They also do catering and have custom cake and cupcake orders. (regular and vegan) This place has options for everyone which makes it even greater. We've brought many of our friends here and family and they all loved it. It's affordable and the portions of food is good also. The service is quick and the staff is always very welcoming and accommodating. We love coming here for dinner, or take out. We will continue to support this great restaurant and so should you! read more

This place has both a full vegan an d regular menu, which was very helpful for anyone who is vegan who goes out to eat with someone who is not, and vice versa. The food was amazing. I really liked the fried seitan bites in the sweet and spicy bourbon sauce. We ate in the restaurant and it had this cool fake car in front of a projection tv so it looked like a drive in. Highly recommend trying this place! read more

Hate to badmouth a place that offers vegan options since we vegans have limited options to begin with. Buttttt had a very odd experience that left me with a bitter taste for crust and crumble. First of all let me preface that my husband called and ordered us food on our way because we came with our 2 year old who can be a little unpredictable at restaurants. We have been there in the past and knew they had tables outside so we picked up our food and the girl at the front told us there was a service fee for using a credit card to which we responded no worries we appreciate the service and had a little laugh about it. My husband ran to the restroom and I sit down with my 2 year old who is actually behaving truck in hand asking for pizza (his fav food) and I open the box and a waiter walks up to us and just says this table is dine in only and stares at us. There is not one sign that says that and no way of us knowing that before hand. Let me just add that it's also Mother's Day and I'm 8 months pregnant... so I'm uncomfortable and hormonal and my eyes well up with tears as I say sadly ok I just have to wait for for my husband... my husband comes out and I tell him what happened and his response is wtf there's 3 open tables and I feel sad and too uncomfortable and we leave causing our 2 year old to lose his mind cause now he can't have his pizza. All after we had already paid a service fee so I don't really understand why we were forced out like that. Anyway we wound up driving down to the water and having a great day but my son did not eat because he was upset after having to leave. Not really the coolest thing to do to a pregnant mom on Mother's Day just sayin.. Food wise the pizza was ok mostly crust the vegan mozz sticks were banging as always but that would be the one saving grace of this crusty and crumby experience. There are many vegan options in the area we will prob choose something else next time. read more

I went here for a second time with a friend who is gluten free. We had friendly service the first time as the girl working the counter was very polite and accommodating. This past Saturday we went again. We ordered a gluten free pizza and fries on their app. After sitting down to eat my friend couldn't pull apart their pizza. So they went inside to ask if they could cut it for them. Not exactly a big request. Both employees tried to tell my friend their pizza is cut what do you want... So my friend had to explain it wasn't cut all the way through. They acted as though this was such an inconvenience. We also walked back in the place with all our food trash and were instructed to go back out to the sidewalk to throw it out. Sorry but we will not be back, learn to be polite maybe? My friend wrote a review on google and the owner rudely told them to grow up. The people who need to grow up are the ones behind the counter at Crust and Crumble who treat customers like they are a problem. Your pizza place is far from indispensible and every business is suseptible to going under. I suggest you and your employees take a lesson in how to treat the public. read more

I ordered their vegan chicken parm last night and it was so good I actually took one bite and asked my bf he was sure it was vegan! Like, that effing good. And the bread is amazing. 10/10. The staff is always so kind too. Great prices for Asbury and amazing food options! read more

I stopped in to try some items off of their vegan menu. I do love how they have two separate menus. Many times it is a struggle to find an establishment that has both options - especially when your date doesn't prefer vegan food lol. I tried their vegan mozzarella sticks which were surprisingly very similar to regular mozzarella sticks. But I wasnt crazy about it & probably wouldn't order again. The pizza i ordered was unfortunately underwhelming; the 'chicken' completely lacked in flavor, but their BBQ is what saved the whole dish. As you can see by the photo, they kinda just slapped all toppings on the pizza - no effect on presentation but that's ok. Aside from that the workers there were very friendly & I will only return when I'm in the area to try something that's highly recommended . read more

Wow wow wow! Lucky to be a vegan in the Asbury area! Was fortunate enough to be invited to their VEGANS IN NJ event where they served us up some incredible food! My only complaint is I only have one stomach. Vegan raviolis - incredible! Kale Caesar was my favorite - fresh and the dressing is amazing! Two different pizzas - super tasty and the crust is amazing! You could put anything on it and it would be out of this world. Fat cat sandwiches are inventive and filling - perfect for a splurge or an after-drinks kinda night. They finished us off with mugs of sweet and flavorful banana coconut ice cream - rich and satisfying. The staff are friendly, kind, and take pride in their restaurant. It's decorated in an awesome way and the seating is comfortable, both inside and out. Will absolutely return! read more

I have been vegan 10 years, been to a lot of vegan spots and all I have to say is don't go here. That's all. I read other reviews saying the same with their experiences as mine. Miserable employees and the foods not that good to even deal with the bad, negative energy from the staff. Sad. But doesn't matter there's so many other places to go in NJ. Try vegan tree in matawan if you want something good nearby it's soooo good and the employees are angels ! That's somewhat close but do research find some other vegan spots closer. There are a lot around the area! Save your money on this place FOR SURE. read more

Staff was very friendly. I was greeted with a big smile from the 2 employees from behind the counter as i walked thru the door. Everything on the menus looked so good i was not sure what to get. The girl behind the counter made a few suggestions and i went with one. The 4 cheese pizza wad amazing as was the chocolate chip cookie i bought also. I definitely will be returning. read more

Crust & Crumble - Veganrita with gluten free crust - Pizza Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

Came to crust and crumble for dinner on a Saturday early evening. There was quite a line of people. We only saw outdoor seating but the owner saw this review and stated they had indoor seating so will check it out. They sell pizzas , sandwiches with a huge number of vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options. They'll bring your pizza outside if you decide to sit. They also have lots of sweet baked goods like cookies and brownies. The pizzas are delicious and don't have soy, sesame, nuts or eggs in the dough for the plain pizzas - so helpful if you or a guest has allergies. The inside vibe is that of a hippy Woodstock feel. Lots of star wars references and mini statues which is awesome. The pizza is fresh and crusty and eaten hot just awesome. We had the plain cheese and the Asbury and loved both. Will definitely be back to try the other items. read more

Came to Asbury Park for the Catsbury Park convention and wanted to check out the amazing vegan food the town has to offer. We tried to go to Talula's but there was a 90 minute wait.. it was a Saturday night after all. I searched around for other places and eventually found Crust & Crumble. Their dining room had ample seating plus non-vegan & vegan menus! I was super jazzed. My brother, dad and I are vegan while my mom, grandpa and aunt are not. This was the perfect place for us. My brother and I shared the two vegan deep dish pizzas, my dad had the super Mario vegan pizza, my mom had a regular meatball sub and my aunt & grandpa had a regular chicken broccoli deep dish pizza. Everyone really liked their food! The dough was very soft and dough-y. The fake chicken, sausage and pepperoni were all delicious as well. Two slices quickly filled me up so I took my other two to go. I haven't had a deep dish pizza in forever! I would definitely come back here. I also had to get one of their Chipwiches to go. It was sooo good! read more
