    Cheesy Vodka Sauce Pastina
    Joseph S.

    First, my daughter, (my foodie teammate), saw a viral IG post about Crust Issues. We drove up from Woodbridge, NJ & we were not disappointed. When you walk in the host is very inviting. You choose your own table, drinks are available right by the counter. They have a variety of drinks from bottled water to local brews to hard seltzers to wines to capris sun and sunny D. The trick to ordering is to follow them on their socials. There you'll see all the options that you can order. All look delicious and the dishes we ordered were very delicious. The dining area was very clean and inviting. On the walls they had all these cook books and pop art of food and sea themed icons. Definitely worth a try no matter how far you'll have to travel to get there.

    10 outta 10! From start to finish, perfect service and food. Way back in ye old 2015 I worked for the owner of this spot and it's great to see him still thriving and consistent on good things all around. I got the pastina, garlic knots, mozz sticks, and Italian combo pizza. The mozz sticks have THE perfect pull and make for great content! The garlic knots are fried to perfection and drenched in a perfectly ratio'd garlic butter. Although I didn't leave much room for my pizza, I had to grab a few bites while it was hot- spectacular. Loved the inside decor with the books and recipe pages in the bathroom.

    This place is DELICIOUS!! We ordered the ziti and chicken cutlet sandwich and both were so good and fresh. The staff is so friendly too! The decor inside is eclectic with art hanging from the ceiling and book spines along the wall. It's not a large place but very welcoming. Not a ton of parking in front but some on the side streets

    What an amazing event (Supper Club) at crust issues. Came here on a date night with my fiancé had an amazing time. The food was extremely delicious especially the pesto pizza, and the wings. John the owner was there extremely friendly overall had an amazing time at his place. Definitely would recommend coming here if you're looking for a date night, especially during Wednesdays through Saturdays when you're able to try a variety of different stuff. Definitely will come back here again. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXmb1g9khUF/

    Normally I do not follow the hype because 8 times out of 10, the hype is a lie. But I can say that Crust Issues is completely worth the hype!! I would absolutely recommend. Was in CT visiting family and made it a point to stop by before going back to NY. Crust Issues is on a main Street and located in a small plaza. The inside is cute and gives a sports bar vibe. There are funny, creative photos all over the place to add to the charisma. The person taking our order was so friendly and happy to help us decide what to order. We ordered a pepperoni pie and the creamy pastina. The pizza is square and cut into 6 slices. Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust is crunchy, buttery and rich in flavor. The sauce to cheese ratio is perfect. Every bite was better than the last. The pastina was so fun to eat. It's similar to couscous but in a creamy pasta sauce.. had a cheese pull with spoonful. I can't wait to go back and try other pies. Absolutely delish!!

    Cute place. Hubby loved the atmosphere especially since a football game was playing. Thin crust pizza. Thought there would be more toppings on the supreme pizza though. Kids enjoyed the cheese pizza. Meatballs were a bit $$ for what we got. They have wine and beer available as well.

    The first thing you need to know, is that CT Food Bloggers are crazy for Crust Issues. I'm part of that community and I'm impressed with how many of them love Crust Issues. Some of that love seems to come from periodic creative multi-course prix fixe meals with wings, adult Spaghetti O's and other stuff. I haven't been so I'm not the best person to describe them. People are also nuts about Crust Issue's creative stuffed pizza sandwiches (chopped Italian, etc.), which look really good btw. I had a completely different type of experience, and maybe you should angle for the experience described above. I've wanted to try Crust Issues because of all the buzz, but I live about an hour away. I realized that I would be driving near Crust Issues on my way to calling hours in Stamford. So my son and I ordered two individual sized pizzas by phone and then we ate those pizzas quickly when we arrived. Service was very friendly. The small dining room was decked out for the holidays. Cool place and cool people for sure. We ordered one pepperoni pizza and one Loaded Potato Pizza. Crust Issues calls their pizza "New England Style". I've never had anything quite like it. I'd call it a Bar Pizza meets shallow pan Detroit Style. The pizza is cooked in a rectangular pan and gets crispy, but the pizza itself is very thin. The crust is a bit airy. This is a total style preference thing. You may love this style of pizza. It's not my favorite style. I prefer a chewier more traditional style of crust. I prefer more sauce and stuff on top than this style of crust can support. I prefer cheese that is more stretchy than well done. The pepperoni were cut into smaller pieces from the normal rounds. I respect that Crust Issues goes their own direction, but I didn't totally connect with their style of pizza. This a 4 Star review. I suspect that their creative multi course dinner would be a better fit for me, but sometimes, I just gotta order the pizza.

    Hands down one of the BEST SPOTS TO EXIST IN CONNECTICUT! They're not your typical pizza shop - offering creative flavors and dishes, you'll keep coming back for me. At night they turn into a Supper Club where you can enjoy a 7 course menu, unlimited beer, wine, and soda for $40! In this economy, that's a deal to jump on! Their pizza is phenomenal, it's crispy, it's flavorful, and the toppings go crazy. From their Vodka Pastina, Pancakes Tres Leches, Buffalo Wings, Chopped House Salad, Crust Issues seriously hits the spot every. single. time. the owner is also amazing and treats you like family.

    Crust issues was looking like it needed me to visit for a while, and glad we did. We shared a cheese pizza, a chicken cutlet with vodka sauce, and some penne vodka, the cutlet was superior! Got a self pour glass of wine and sat under cool art breezy decor while jamming to a great restaurant playlist. Parking was a bit tough. You clean up after yourself cafeteria style, order at the counter and food is brought to your table.

    Chicken Scarp

    This place has a nice vibe. Clean and cool decor. The service was great. Some nice dudes working the kitchen. My husband had the chicken scarp and he said it was good. It was served on an old school metal lunch tray. Never seen that but it's an interesting presentation. I got a cheese pizza and to be honest, it wasn't my thing. It reminded me of another place that you have to eat the pizza fast or it turns to rubber when it's cooled down. The taste was decent though. It's definitely a unique place.

    I like the rotational menu concept here to keep things fresh all the time. They have some interesting flavor combo ideas, like spicy wings with a side of watermelon. I really liked the spaghetti-o's the most because the lemon vodka sauce was absolutely delish. I wasn't expecting that since I typically don't like them from a can and thought these would taste like them, but nope, they're their own thing and I would come here just for those. The pizza of the week we had I kind of wanted to chop up and use as crotons and do like a crouton pizza based on the flavoring. Overall a fun & kitschy vibe, I love the bathroom decor too with the recipe pages stuck to the walls.

    We had a wonderful experience at Crust issues for their 7-course meal. I have done it twice so far and each time is better than the last! The restaurant was wonderfully decorated for Christmas the last time we were there. Highly recommend this restaurant

    Tres Leches Panettone Cake
    David N.

    We came for Supper Club (my first time, my friend's second time). We both loved the idea of it - basically an Italian-style omakase. We started off with a slice of pizza each, then received a couple wings each. After that we got "Italian miso soup", which was a garlicky soup with a piece of bread. We had a couple sharing dishes up next - first was creamy ranch pastina (complete with cool ranch Doritos crumbled on top). Next we shared Alfredo pasta with bacon. For the 'main entree', we each got a good-sized chicken cutlet and some fried pieces of potato to share and a side salad. Finally, we finished with tres leches panettone cake for dessert. Overall, the food was great and the service was impressively efficient - serving numerous plates with the perfect amount of time between each. The seating arrangement was a little quirky but they really do as much as the can in the space. We went in December and it was decorated exceptionally well for Christmas. Would certainly recommend Supper Club, it's great for a date night, friends, or even a family outing

    Is this walk in or do you need a reservation?

    I've always been a walk-in, and have not needed a reservation.

    Can anyone find their menu? Can't find a website and Insta and Yelp have no pics of their menu. (03/22/2024)

    Our favorite place to eat! The pizza and wings are hands down the best in the tri-state area. We…read moregladly make the drive from New York to Norwalk just to eat at Coals--it's that good! We first discovered Coals when they had locations in New York. After those closed, we happily started making the trip to Connecticut because nothing else compares. We've even celebrated special occasions here because the restaurant is spacious, welcoming, and has such a great atmosphere. The service is second to none. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and excellent. Coals is always worth the trip, and we can't recommend it enough!

    First and foremost, Coals had several other locations and they shut down, but I'm honestly not sure…read morewhy (could be due to the stove necessary for making this specific type of pizza, just brainstorming here). My mom had insisted on going here on Mother's Day. Fortunately, their Connecticut location was open and we went. Bianca, I believe as a manager and was super accommodating with my mom's 100 questions haha. We started with one of the salads and the brussels sprouts. Both were great, but the brussels sprouts stood out to me. As for the pizza, we got the Margherita, Rustic, & Bayside. All of them were great, but the Bayside had to be my favorite. The pistachio pesto and goat cheese went very well together. The Rustic was a close runner up- mushrooms and truffle oil are always a match made in heaven. The Margherita was a classic but with the style of super thin, almost cracker-thin pizza I preferred the other two more. All in all, my family and I would definitely make it out to Norwalk again just for this place (& we live in Long Island). Thanks Bianca for making my Mom's day!
