    Stopped in here a couple weeks ago when we were in Gettysburg for the weekend. This was the second time we ate here and I have to give this a mixed review. The first time we came here, last fall, we ordered pizzas for the table (there were four of us) and we all loved the food. Pizzas were bar pies and were pretty good (coming from a pizza snob). The drinks were a little pricey, but the service was great and we love the atmosphere. This most recent trip was not as good. We both wanted to try the bbq this time and were seated on the 'other' side. We were very confused as there was no BBQ on the menu, only to realize when the waitress came over that we didn't get the BBQ menus. We placed an order for drinks and looked over the menu, eventually we both chose a one meat combo - wifey ordered the brisket, Mac and cheese and cornbread and I had the ribs with baked beans and cole slaw. We also ordered an appetizer of hushpuppies. The sides were all fantastic...the Mac n cheese needed a touch of salt, but otherwise they were great. The hushpuppies were missing something-not sure if they put the sweet and spicy chipotle drizzle on them. Neither of us loved the meats. The brisket was tasty, but very fatty (yes, I know brisket has a fat layer, but this was very fatty). My ribs were a bit tough...again, they tasted fine, but they needed a little more time on the smoker (I'm not a fall off the bone guy, but the bite on these were a bit too much). Additionally, it too WAY too long for us to get our drinks...arrived about three minutes before our food was served. I'm sure this was a one-off, bad day, because I've heard great things about the bbq here. We're gonna stop in again next time, hopefully to bump up the rating.

    Stopped by The Upper Crust in Gettysburg recently for lunch and had a great experience overall. The open-air seating was a really nice touch--perfect for a relaxed afternoon. We both ordered pizzas, and while the center of the crust was a little on the softer side, the overall flavor was excellent. You can tell they put a lot of care into the ingredients and combinations. All in all, a solid spot with great atmosphere and very good pizza. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Gettysburg.

    If you like your pizza burnt black then you will like this place. I, like most people, hate burnt crust. Unfortunately, this site won't allow me to post photo.

    Brussels sprouts appetizer

    Visited family in PA and we went to the upper crust. It was my second time in years and well it has definitely changed. We were a party of 5 and we seated ourselves. It took a while for a server to come tend to us. Even though our server was friendly, she wasn't as attentive and the place wasn't busy. The restaurant is spacious so it's good for a big group, they also have a couple tables of pool which is fun but it does get very warm during summer. Their arcade area is FREE so that's a plus. The food was okay. The fish and chips were flavorless, the Korean bbq wings tasted good but were soggy, the chicken burger and the brisket sandwich were great. The pizza was okay, for appetizers we ordered the hush puppies and the Brussels sprouts.

    Come for the free arcade games, and while you're here, grab some food and drinks! This place is massive--easily able to seat groups of 100+--so our family of 21 fit with no problem. The highlight for us was that the kids could enjoy the free arcade games and burn off some energy after a full day of historic tours. They had basketball shooting games (though many balls were a bit deflated), two large shuffleboards, a pool table, four working skee-ball lanes (and one out of order), plus a semi-working air hockey table that just needed a puck. Our server was friendly, but service was very slow. It took 15 minutes just to get our drink orders, and we waited 45 minutes before the first item of our food arrived. We know large groups take more time, but simple steps--like giving everyone water right away--would make a big difference. As for the food, opinions were mixed. Some in our group enjoyed the pizza. I found the "Light & Bright" salad to be exactly as described, and I loved the pine nuts and blueberries. The meat pizza was only slightly better than a $2 Sam's Club slice, while the pepperoni pizza was much better, with tasty dollops of ricotta. Overall, it's a fun spot for groups, especially with kids--just don't be in a hurry.

    Margherita Pizza

    Let's start with the good. I love the vibe of this place. The open kitchen with the three big beautiful brick ovens and piles of wood everywhere are unique to the area. Great place to get together with friends and enjoy some pizza, beer and games. The downside: the pizza is inconsistent. We ordered two Margherita pizzas that came out completely different. One was very crispy and charred with not much cheese. The other was floppy with more cheese on it. The flavor of both was just ok. One was a little heavy on the char, the other was heavy on the salt. We definitely expect more out of a place that makes pizza the centerpiece of the menu.

    My daughter and I like to find non pizza chain restaurants and this #68. We ordered drinks, the pepperoni, mozzerella cheese sticks and these mac n cheese stuff balls. The appetizers were good. The pizza (the pepperoni) was just average. The sauce was not spicy barely any taste and the cheese seemed off. The waitress seemed distracted and not really interested until we asked for the bill.

    Ok wicked good pizza!! Wicked good pizza !!!! We loved the atmosphere and the openness of the restaurant. The crust is to die for. The wine selection was very good. I'd like a bigger pour but who doesn't? I would recommend this place for couples, families and parties Ask for Kayla!! She's awesome!

    Hush puppies

    As a family we loved this restaurant. It is opened to outdoors but the temperature was still cool because of the big fans. We went in hungry and ordered a few appetizers, pizza, beef brisket and a burger. The brisket was on the fatty side but was juicy. The wings were nice and crispy. The pizza was great. My son and I were playing shuffleboard incorrectly while awaiting our food and the manager Jacob came and introduced himself and actually showed us how to play. My son loved the restaurant and wanted to eat there the next day as well and told me I better mention Jacob in my review. Jacob also hand delivered our pizza to us, we were very impressed by him. We had a great experience and would recommend.

    Pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni
    Rodger S.

    We were very disappointed with our most recent visit. Our intention was to order food from the ribs place that adjoins the restaurant. That's usually possible but wasn't on the particular night we went. Apparently the ribs staff was working with a group of trivia players. I ordered wings & only ate a few of them. They had way too much heavy sauce on them for my taste. That sauce was also too spicy. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza & it was dull dull dull. At the very least it needed more pepperoni. Service was also way too slow.

    Four cheese white pizza

    Best restaurant in Gettysburg for bringing kids and/or watching sports and having fun with friends. Multiple large screen tvs and large bar area seating plus pool tables, skeeball machines, basketball hoops, and air hockey. Pizza is made from the wood-fired ovens in the center of the restaurant, plus its connected to Borough BBQ and Lulu's Ice Cream so you can get a large variety of food items. White pizza and hummus/labneh duo appetizer were delicious!

    Hot honey pizza
    Candace H.

    Pizza was delicious and service was very attentive and polite. If you're drinking, stick to beer or wine - the cocktails are not anything to rave over.

    Service was great and so was the pizza. Honestly the best crust and pizza I've had in a long time. Even got one to take home.

    Came for the carb-loading, stayed because I physically couldn't stand up afterwards…read more ​Stopped by La Bella Italia in Gettysburg, and let's just say the crew running this family-owned spot doesn't play around. Staff is ridiculously friendly and attentive--basically treated me like a long-lost cousin who hadn't eaten in a week. ​We kicked things off with their fresh, house-baked ciabatta paired with an herb-loaded olive oil and butter combo. The bread was so good I almost forgot I had actual food coming. ​The play-by-play: ​Fresh Calamari: Crispy, tender, and served with a killer marinara. Absolutely incredible. ​Braised Beef Ravioli: You only get four on the plate, but these bad boys are built like linebacker kneepads. Homemade pasta, packed with savory beef, and drenched in a sweet marinara. ​Spaghetti alle Vongole: Homemade spaghetti tossed with fresh clams in a rich red sauce spiked with garlic, white wine, and fresh herbs. Fantastic flavor. ​The Pizza: Hey, for Pennsylvania? Pretty solid backup options if you're not going full pasta mode. ​The best part? All their pasta is made completely fresh in-house, and the portion sizes are strictly "feed a Roman army" certified. ​Who knew Pennsylvania Italian food could punch this far above its weight class? 10/10, would willingly accept the inevitable food coma again.

    Pros: Great menu choices, nice portions, fresh food, great service…read more Cons: none. Our favorite restaurants in G'burg. Always clean, always your favorite itailian dishes and service is always great. Tonight or server was Caleb and our compliments to Caleb who was top end, very friendly and attentive. TonightbI had Veal Parmigana with Spaghetti. Being from Phill originally I love thier Veal Parm which has a lite crunch on the outside but tender and quick inside topped with the right amount of sauce and cheese. Was perfect. I also had a Canolli for dessert which has such i light and fluffy filling drilled with chocolate sauce, one of the best. Cya next time.
