It's getting harder and harder to find build-your-own personal pizza spots these days, so when I…read morelearned about Crust Pizza Co. in Leander, I was happy to hear there would be a go-to for personal pizza for when I am on the north side of the Austin metro. When I got two pizzas to-go on a Sunday, the wait did feel like it took a long time, longer than say at Blaze or Mod Pizza. The pizzas had a nice thin crust but I found them to be on the oily side, so that was a turn off. Not sure if that is part of the crust or if they slather it on for whatever reason. If I had dined in, I think it would have been an overall decent experience based on the decor and roomy seating. But when it comes to pizza, it is honestly best enjoyed at home in pjs and paired with a good TV show!

As a Leanderthal I'm always on the lookout for a pizza spot that surpasses the standard chains. My…read morekid was craving a calzone, and this place delivered better than some other local options we've tried recently. The crust was perfectly baked, neither overdone nor dry, and the cheese-to-sauce ratio was just right. The service was pleasant. The only reason it doesn't get a 5-star rating is that the prices felt a bit high for a casual family dinner on a weeknight. However, the quality of the ingredients is evident. We'll definitely be adding this to our local pizza rotation.

We've been coming here for years, and today's visit reminded us why. Our go-to is the Kitchen Sink Pizza, and it was absolute perfection, hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. Today I had the pleasure of introducing myself to Wes, who truly does it all! He's the cashier, pizza maker, server, and keeps an eye on every table to make sure guests have everything they need. His friendly attitude and dedication really stand out. After 12 years at this location, it's clear he takes pride in what he does, and it shows. Roots Pizza is a great spot right on the Georgetown Square with plenty of seating, an upstairs dining area, TVs for catching the game, and a nice craft beer selection. Thank you, Wes, for your continued dedication and for making every visit a great one. We'll definitely be back!! Did I mention the great value $38 for their largest pizza and two sodas...

Our server was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the place has a cool little vibe that feels relaxed but still energetic. We got there around 11:00, and by 11:15 or 11:20 the place was already lively and noisy, which honestly tells you people know where the good pizza is. I had the House salad with Caesar dressing, and it was fresh and loaded with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, mushrooms, black olives, mozzarella, and crunchy garlic croutons. For pizza, I ordered the City Pie, and those toppings were giving -- pepperoni, Italian sausage, spinach, mushrooms, onions, black olives, and bell peppers. I'm not usually a huge fan of super thin crust pizza, but this one worked because the toppings and flavor carried every bite. The girls ordered the Queen Margherita, and it looked just as good as it sounds with fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, Parmesan-Reggiano, and basil. We also tried one of the house sodas, and it was really, really good. Everything paired together perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd go back to again.

I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.

Ordering was very easy, and we were even able to see our pizza go into the over and later come out. We came because of a recommendation of a friend, and when the pizza was delivered we were happy about the melty cheese, but turned off by the mushrooms. They look like (and tasted like) canned mushrooms. Ick. That said, the pepperoni and onions were great, and we really liked the thin crust. However, the sauce left a lot to be desired. It really turned me off, but my companion simply said it was weak and didn't seem pizza appropriate. They have large cans of tomato sauce on their racks, so they clearly make their sauce; perhaps this was an off batch. Overall, this was a miss. We won't be back.
