This is not your average pizzeria. Every menu item is next level and delicious. The pizza, pasta and mozzarella sticks are to die for - but think handcrafted and freshly made. Nothing frozen here. The atmosphere is also incredibly relaxed, welcoming and perfect for kids. Great service, food and even better owners keep us coming back again and again. read more

I came here for the special Saturday night tasting menu and wow! I was blown away by the concept and flavors. First off, for only $40 pp this is an amazing deal. We got 7 courses plus dessert and a beer! I barely ate half of each course and I was stuffed (not that I'm complaining - the leftovers were divine the next day). The vibe is sort of like creative chaos. A new dish comes out every 10 min or so, often delivered by the owners young daughter. The owner (I think his name is John maybe?) was super nice and also waiting on tables. He was busy but everytime I asked a question he stopped and chatted. The pasta was my absolute favorite of the night - a spicy creamy pastina with yellow aji peppers that I cannot stop thinking about. Every dish was pretty heavy so don't come here for a light meal lol. In total we got 8 dishes: two kinds of salad, pizza, smokey chicken parm, aji pasta, birra cupcake, truffle croquette, and a cake for dessert (unidentifiable but incredibly delicious). The owner told me that everything we ate is not on the menu and may or may not appear at tastings again. It's a fun concept that enables you to try whatever fleeting fun recipe is in his head! The pizza here is a unique style...kind of like a Detroit pie and a bar pie had a baby. We def want to return to try some pies on a non-tasting night. The slice we tried was lovely, with a buttery crispy crust and nicely balanced tomato sauce. Def worth checking out this pizza place! Parking can be a little tricky. If the awkward lot is full, try the car wash next door (if it's closed). My one tiny complaint - the music came out of a single small portable speaker on the counter which happened to be right next to our table. It was very very loud and we had to yell to speak to each other. I actually popped in a concert earplug I had in my purse, and that helped a lot. Not sure I could have stayed all dinner without it tbh! Would suggest the owner get a couple more speakers and have them playing in various locations at a lower volume please! Will def return to try more delicious food from crust issues! I highly recommend their tasting night for a unique dinner experience, you won't regret it! read more

This place was very good. I will definitely come back. The ambience was decent. The inside felt like a hole in the wall New York City pizzeria. I had a couple modern touches with books along the wall and various items of interest. Nothing fancy, but nice. The food was above average, but not the best I've ever had. The garlic knots tasted very good, but we're not very garlicky, so it is hard to classify them as garlic knots. Still had a nice taste, though. The pizza also had a very good taste , so I would definitely get it again. The prices and service was good. read more

Great pizza spot. Love the concept, the store itself is very clean and the drinks are very accessible. The pizza itself delicious with a very cheesy "crust" all around. The garlic knots took me by surprised because they're not your typical dough, these are crispy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. read more

Great spot! The food is amazing! Great pizzas, perfect menu size, and everything cooked fresh to order and piping hot. We got a veggie pizza with sausage, meatballs, and the house salad. The most surprising part was how friendly the staff were- they came and sat with us, talked to us, asked us if we wanted to try things, and overall provided a great atmosphere. Danny was fantastic! We ordered a bunch of food to go too! 10/10! read more

I wanted to dine in but unfortunately they were hosting their weekly 5 course dinner. But anyway we ordered to go & the customer service was really nice! The guy taking our order was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. He recommended different choices based on what my son and I like. The food came out fast & hot! We ordered 2 pizza, garlic knots, He also added some mozzarella sticks on the house. My son ordered the chicken tikka pizza and I had a pepperoni. We Love everything! I'll definitely be returning to try new things. read more

This is worth the hype! When I first arrived, I was let down because the menu is underwhelming. I thought we were confined to those options but I was wrong wrong wrong!! Before you go (which you MUST) be sure to check out their IG page and pick out a few things you see on there and oder them! They wont be on the menu but they will make them for you and it will be just as good as it looks (if not BETTER). read more

The two orders of mozzarella sticks were very good, but that's not what we ordered. We ordered delivery and got our appetizer and someone else's appetizer ("Greg" the bag said), but no pizza. Two orders of appetizers does not equal dinner, so we ended up going to Dominos (Crust Issues did not make good on the mistake even though they were contacted. I got a $4.25 refund). I have no idea if the pizza here is good, and I never will. This was my first and last experience with this restaurant. Oh, and sorry Greg. I'm not sure if you got my pizza, but I'm sure you did not get the mozzarella sticks you wanted. read more

Crust Issues - The pizza was very undercooked. - Pizza Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

In Norwalk, it's a very casual experience, I made a reservation for supper club on instagram via DMs, there were about 8 courses, consisting of pizza, pasta, salad, chicken and dessert. The wings were overcooked but the sauce was awesome, the pizza, dessert and salad were very good too. The pasta was very spicy. The service was very friendly, the atmosphere extremely casual. $40+ tip included alcohol, not bad. Will be back. read more

I was hesitant about the place, I like coal or wood fire pizza but the wife picked this place and I went without complaining. Freaking amazing! We sat at the bar because it was packed with people eating the $40 fixed price meal and honestly we just weren't hungry enough to get it. I had the chicken piccata and she had the chicken Marsala, both were delicious and I don't say that lightly. The manager is a young man who would be an asset to any establishment and his love of good food is infectious! We did return for a pizza and it's the best pan pizza I have ever had. We're going back to the east coast again in the future and we will be back for the fixed price meal. read more

Received strong referral's about Crust Issues and enjoyed the food however, the service was disappointing. Our party of three waited 30 minutes and witnessed four parties arrive after and get served before us. Upon inquiry we were told they were busy. Another employee came to check on us but only after our brief explanation, did she realize our order was sitting on the "to go" counter. Asked to speak to the manager who never presented throughout our entire meal. Wish we could have experienced the food as it was intended....served hot. read more

Love everything about Crust Issues! I will preface this by saying that the owner, John, basically only ever makes the best restaurants, so he's already at an advantage! He just gets what the people want, but in the most creative ways! So the aesthetic is unique, real books that have been cut (you'll just have to see for yourself). The pizza is technically crust less (Crust Issues, you see lol) but is surprisingly still delicious! Really out of the box toppings like potatoes, etc. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Great pizza (almost Detroit-style but a bit thinner) and some really glutinous/impressive specials. Really friendly staff as well.

I'm not sure where to begin. The atmosphere is that of a place you'd spend a fun family dinner or sit down and share pizza and stories with friends. THE FOOD! The Caesar salad worked my body like a devastating series of body shots. The owner heard we traveled to try the pizza and asked us to try the garlic knots. While tasting them they appeared to form a fist delivering my tastebuds a brutal knockout shot. As I came to on the floor, the owner dumped a bucket of water on me and said "you got this kid". I managed to get to my feet before the 10 count only to discover a crispy delicious pizza that I can't compare to anything other than to say that it tasted like Massimo Bottura was the guest chef at your Friday rectangle school lunch. I digress. As I made it back to my table and sat a mere one bite of the pizza shattered my tastebuds buds permanently leaving me an oral paraplegic. I will never be the same. This pizza place is the undisputed heavyweight champion I should have never challenged. 10 out of 10. read more

I've gotten take out from here and the pizza is great and the crust is different in a superb way. Very unique. I came last week for the 8 course dinner and it was fun and excellent. Owners an awesome guy and you can see the passion when he explained the courses for the night. Everything was delicious. I sat at the counter so I could also see all the different foods being made for take out that I NEED to come back for. The staff were friendly and sociable. I came back tonight again for the 8 course dinner, the owner was on vacation but Mike led the dinner and was so accommodating and friendly. You can tell the whole staff wants you to have a great experience. I grabbed a bottle of hot sauce from the side and Mike came with an even hotter sauce and another server brought over a different hot sauce, they really just want everyone to get the best experience. I can't rave enough about the food and the staff. They make you feel welcome and you can tell the food is the priority. Literally my new go to spot ! Not a dessert guy but both I tried were dope. read more

I really like this place, I see the pics in Instagram and the pizza looks great. Was in the area and decided to give it a try. The guy at the counter was super friendly and seemed genuinely happy by the people coming to the restaurant. My orders were take out and the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the dough was a little thinner I would like. I was expecting something a little fluffier. With that said, pizza was good, I had the fried chicken which was a good to have as an alternative to cheese pizza. Would I stop again and get some more pizza? If in the area, absolutely! read more

Never again. Ordered delivery because they advertise Heady Topper beer, which is one of the hardest beers in the country to get. Instead they sent 2 cans of light beer from Two Roads. I called and dude said "sorry I'm not a beer guy." This is what lawyers call a "bait and switch" and they should have refunded my whole order because I never would have ordered from this place if they hadn't lied about their menu He's also not a pizza guy, because the pizza is gross. It's runny and greasy with terrible cheese. Avoid this place, all other CT pizza is better read more

I am a pizza devotee and wanted to try this place Walking in, you can smell the pizza goodness The pizza is very unquote and like a think Sicilian. The crust is super yeasty and edge to edge with cheese. So good I would highly recommend. read more

Everything from start to finish was amazing! The food was different and delicious! The service was great. I can't wait to go back!

It's great to see a fresh take on pizza when their's a focus on creativity and taste. I asked what they recommended and was taken back when they said Baked Potato, but if there's one thing I've learned... take the Chef's opinion . Great take on pizza. Had to get a few other things though... the garlic knots are a cross between the taste of a garlic knot and the body of a zeppole (truly a game changer). As for the chicken cutlet scarp, the crispiness of the cutlet made the dish. If you're in Norwalk, this is a stop you have to make. read more

Nice people ! Good food ! Calm vibe. The penne vodka could be better. Wings are great. Mozzarella sticks are amazing !

The first time I walked in this place, I was warmly greeted by the owner. Help yourself to something to drink. What a creative mind and talent he has! He gave me a sample of their chicken wings, which are outrageous if I do say so, having lived in Buffalo for many years. If you want a different experience in a warm, friendly place , try Crust Issues! read more

Restaurant Review: Crush Issue - Family Dinner Night I went to Crush Issue for the first time to try their Family Dinner, which starts at 4 PM and is designed for families to bring their children along. It's $40 per person, and that includes wine and beer--definitely a great value. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, hot, and comforting--it truly felt like a cozy Sunday dinner with family. What really stood out was the sense of community: I saw kids who didn't know each other chatting and playing together like old friends. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. I even got the sense that people who hadn't reserved the $40 dinner were still offered some of the food, just to give them a taste of the experience. All in all, this place delivers on warmth, food, and hospitality. 5 stars! Michelle Cruz and Family read more

EXTREMELY flavorful i did expect it to be more of a crunch to the bite based off "crust" being in the name. I took it upon myself to throw the pizza on my pizza maker for a minute got the bottom nice and crisp What a game changer! read more

I went to Crust pizza about 2 weeks ago. Might I say it was actually really good. The flavors were incredible and it was nice and crunchy. When I arrived I was greeted by staff instantly and they seemed very nice and respectable. The one thing I can say about this pizza is that you have to eat it when it is hot. it taste really good when its fresh out the oven. I never had a pizza that was crunchy like this so that was an interesting experience yet really good. I highly recommend this pizza to other locals or people who just want to stop and try it. I will be going back! read more

All I can say is WOW. The best food, the best experience and the the most gracious accommodating owner and service.

I'm incredibly confused by the experience that others have had with their meals from here - we got a whole spread of food that was all not good. Meatballs are $18 and it came with three tiny meatballs that offered no flavor. The garlic knots are essentially fried dough with sauce? A garlic knot is NOT fried dough. Very chewy and strange. My chicken Caesar sandwich was extremely underwhelming and I barely finished half of it. We're not usually super critical, but for the amount we paid and the reviews we saw, this was a disappointing dinner. Probably won't be back. read more

Before we placed the order on UberEats, I called and asked if I could get the chopped Italian salad "sandwich" (I saw this beaut on Instagram) and, I'm assuming I was speaking with the owner, said: ABSOLUTELY! Just let me know your name and place it under the chicken parm sandwich. Also got the cheese pizza. I called back and he confirmed he got my order, no problem! When the food arrived, I opened the box with the Italian salad pizza/sandwich, and I was immediately taken back to 1987 - walking into our local dine-in Pizza Hut, with the stained-glass pendant lights, red cups and buffet. The aroma was THAT NOSTALGIC. The first bite was beginning of the end, however... the cheese-dusted pizza crust enveloping the lightly dressed chopped salad - I found heaven in the bites I savored. The cheese pizza is the most amazing, not-too-thin-nor-thick; not-too-goopy-cheesy slice you could want. And the CRUST - or lack of; that bland, unnecessary part our kids leave on the side of the plate and end up in the garbage - THIS was an edge of caramelized cheese from the rectangular pan it baked to perfection in. I'm done... I'm a happy customer. read more

Let me tell you something. This pizza is so damn good that after two bites I have to write a review!!! The crust is ironically perfect. Its got a great balance between soft and crunchy. Its buttery! *chefs kiss* I have a classic cheese pizza w/ sausage. I thought I was going to eat half today and half tomorrow but it wont make it till tomorrow!! As an aside, the service was excellent. I came in for pick up and my food was ready on time!! I will definitely be returning to dine in ! read more

Fantastic! I cannot say enough of the food, service and people. Talk about going above and beyond. These guys are great!

There are CRUST ISSUES for sure... and sauce issues and cheese issues too! The dough is dense, oily and downright not good. The cheese is cheap and the red sauce is banal. This pizza is reminiscent of bad roller rink pizza from the 1980s. I read about this place and was excited, but alas I could make a better English muffin pizza at home. read more

A really good spin on pizza! Service is fast and the staff is very friendly. Definitely worth checking out.

Online orders not taken during the weekdays and sometimes they cut off availability to order online through apps like DoorDash or uber eats on a busy night. Ive worked in places that are busy for takeout on busy nights and these guys need to staff or educate thier staff on maintaining takeout, calls, and (barley any "in house orders" Food is ok, not as good as when they advertised on instagram or facebook, etc. read more
