An iconic local spot, this was my first time eating at Upper Crust. It's simple, really, walk up, order a GIGANTIC slice, get a soda or a beer, consume, be happy. With a small, but clean with a fun interior, Upper Crusts offers slices that are surprisingly delish! Super crispy crusts and HUGE portions - they have salads and other good eats, but those will be for next time. They have a decent selection of beer on tap - I'll be back to try some of those next time! read more

Upper Crust Pizza is a good spot if you want a quick bite. Their team is nice and food comes out quick. However, the price is high and the quality isn't. Their slices are $10 with a drink plus an extra $1 per topping which seems real steep even for a large slice. If the food was made fresh, I think I would be okay with paying that much given the portion size but they clearly par bake all of their slices as cheese and then add all the toppings. Spending almost $30 for two slices with ranch and drinks you don't want isn't that great. I think they own a few other places in town like Arizona Pizza Company and I know these spots have always par baked slices. However, at this location you can see they just sit out on a baking sheet (not sure for how long) which makes them taste a bit stale, your expensive extra toppings fall right off, and makes me a bit worried about the food safety. Overall, there are cheaper spots in town to grab a slice with better quality. read more

Finally got the chance to try Upper Crust Pizza and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken pizza and enjoyed it. The staff was friendly. There was plenty of seating inside, and they have a large selection of beers. Definitely a great spot to grab pizza and enjoy some drinks with friends. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - One slice of pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Upper Crust is Over Priced This is the most expensive cheese slice I have ever bought. In Philadelphia I go to Lorenzo's pizza that does a similar style. Lorenzo's pizza cheese slice is larger, has more cheese, better fresh sauce, fresh baked dough and only costs 6.50. Upper crust says the drink is complementary which is just another gimick here. I think that most supermarket bake at home pizzas can be better. Avoid !!!!!!!! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - mediocre cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'd always seen this pizza shop in passing and finally decided to try it out this week. The slices are huge! Unfortunately, I did not feel that the taste and quality matched the portion size. :( I tried their cheese pizza and to me, it seemed as if this was leftover pizza warmed up, definitely not fresh at all. It was unfortunate because I'm sure that it tastes amazing when served freshly made which may be what others have experienced. A bummer having paid $10 a slice. Shop is small on the inside but cute! Service was quick. They say discovery requires experimentation so happy to have another local pizza joint checked off! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Upper Crust Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I really only go for the one slice of pizza, I'm too poor to be buying anything else there it's honestly not a bad deal, you get a HUGE piece of pizza and a drink for $10, I just wish I didn't have to get a drink. I asked to trade a drink for a topping and they said no Toppings are $1 each and ranch is $1 each so unless you wanna have a realllly expensive piece of pizza, one topping for you. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is the 2nd time here. Ordered the same thing, one slice of pepperoni and a drink. The slice was delivered and it was not looking too good. The crust was hard as a pretzel, the cheese was dry and it tasted like cardboard, no lie. Not worth the trip. Same thing happened the first go around. Don't understand the good reviews. read more

I always go here for there special a slice and a drink. The pizza is always so good and such a chill atmosphere. I've been going here for years and will continue to do so. read more

I normally don't leave long reviews, but this experience was bad enough that customers and management need to be aware. During my recent visit, the pizza maker showed zero professionalism and zero sanitation. He used his phone while standing at the pizza-making station and never washed his hands afterward. He wasn't wearing gloves at any point, and I didn't see him wash his hands a single time during our visit. This is serious as some people have extreme allergies and cross-contamination can really send them to the hospital. Our slices came from a stack of pre-made "cheese pizzas" sitting on the counter. When we ordered pepperoni and mushrooms, they just threw the toppings on top--no additional cheese and the mushrooms were completely uncooked and still cold. The cashier who helped us was very sweet and understanding, but as soon as the pizza maker heard that we asked to have the slices cooked longer, he immediately got defensive. I heard him say--with attitude--that we'd be charged for extra cheese (which we were fine with). We at least wanted a pizza with toppings that actually were cooked together and mixed in within the cheese. He kept complaining to another worker with dreads, saying things like we "clearly haven't been here before" and that "this is just how they serve their pizza." We have been here before, and the food was never like this. Keep in mind the price of the items. Little Caesar would have at least given a fully cooked fresh pizza. When the slices came out of the oven, he said, "Let's see if this makes them happy," but didn't even bother checking if everything turned out okay afterward. For someone in food service and customer service, this is unacceptable behavior. I honestly felt bad for the cashiers who have to deliver this to customers. Management seriously needs to address the sanitation issues and the attitude coming from the kitchen staff. Experiences like this will drive people away. Definitely not coming back. read more

Excellent pizza. Made exactly the way you want it. Only complaint is rather high prices. Two pies cost $50. But overall a very good place for pizza if you have the money. Recommended read more

Upper crust was recommended to me by a fellow NYC brother. Growing up in Brooklyn or anywhere in NYC you love the smell of fresh pizza. With that being said, UPPER CRUST PIZZA NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST. The garlics knots are superb. The right amount of garlic and soft yet crunchy exterior. The Capri salad was fresh. The mozzarella was perfectly seasoned. Now for the pizza de resistance. The Cheese pizza had the perfect amount a sauce to cheese ratio. When folded the right amount of flop to stiff dough exists, with a little bit of oil drip. This is the closest to NYC pizza you'll find in the lower 48. Prices are more than fair for the quality and portions size. This store deserves 5 stars, no questions asked. read more

A funky local pizza joint that can make any type of pizza you're looking for. Menu is a bit confusing but you can order a enormous piece of pizza any flavor you want. (the menu says a cheese pizza with drink but you can make the flavor anything you want) The chicken BBQ pizza I ordered was ginormous; good flavors but needed a bit more sauce in my opinion to pair with the extensive pizza crust. More than enough to enjoy in a single meal. Solid choice for takeout or dine in pizza. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - BBQ Chicken Pizza Single slice - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Ripping off poor students I went here a month ago hoping for a nice slice, and was appalled to find that they charge $10/slice! I've had pizza in Queens, NY, and these guys ain't that special. I had a New York style crust pizza from Dominos for $7.99, which was comparable to what I got in NYC. read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. We walked in and were able to order immediately. Within 10 minutes we were served fresh garlic knots, they had the best garlic flavor that wasn't overwhelming. The flavors really brought out the freshness of the bread. After that our pizza by the slice was brought out. They were massive slices that can easily be shared between two people. I really love a pizza shop that sells by the slice. So much easier to stop in more often and get fresh slice of pizza!! The shop also had big screen tvs on the walls that were showing the football games. We will certainly be back again, so glad we found this place!! read more

This is just a review for their slice special, no other menu items. I'd been driving by this place for decades and finally took the plunge to go in. Not sure why it took so long but when driving by it always seems kind of out of the way practically as I'm heading East. As others said, the parking is tricky. It's a small lot and things were made worse by the Shamrock Farms delivery truck blocking off half the lot. Fun. Without that issue there appears to be enough parking in back. Pro tip: You can access the parking lot from the rear street so if you're heading south on Campbell just turn left before the light at Grant. Overall my experience was just OK from the food to the shop itself. I got the slice and drink combo with 2 toppings for $10.65 including tax. It's a good price for the size of the slice and free refills on the fountain soda machine. The slice itself was just average to me. I hate to rate a pizza shop on their slice pie as it's usually different from a full pizza, yet here we are. The sauce, cheese, toppings, and crust all weren't bad, but nothing stood out, either. There's no hook to it. Perfectly mid-range in every way. It's hard to find slice pizza in Tucson so I'd recommend you head in and make your own opinion. People seem to like the unique toppings and garlic knots, but I just got the slice. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Huge slice and drink for $10.65 (2 toppings). Sept 2023. Not bad but not great, either. - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

If you want a slice of pizza the size of Mt. Lemmon, this is the place. $8 gets you a great, crispy, tasty slice. Toppings are $1 each and are generously applied to the pie. It's a small, no-frills spot and well-worth coming to. Great pizza and fast service. read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Pepperoni, Black Olive & Mushroom slice. Car keys in the pic for perspective! - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I had lunch here with two friends yesterday. We shared a 14" chicken parmesan pizza and had a quarter of it left over to take home. All of us liked it. The bill came to $33 including tax and tip, or $11 each. This is a counter service place. Simple, nothing fancy, small, probably geared more to takeout than dine-in, but we enjoyed eating lunch there. Beer is available. read more

We had pizza delivered. It was so good! We asked for it well done and it was perfect--garlic knots also yummy!

Upper Crust is a good central pizzeria that hits the spot with their pizza and garlic bread. They have all the classic pizzas, plus a number of specialty pizzas that put a new spin on topping combinations. In addition to the pizza, I do also strongly recommend the cheesy garlic bread. It is buttery, garlicky goodness! You definitely want some. They're quick and reliable for both delivery and pick-up, and their location is ideal for both. read more

Great pizza high price . Prices have been steadily going up over the years. Admittedly my favorite pizza in Tucson though

Picked up a cheese pizza yesterday and discovered when I took it home that the bottom was totally burned. I mean black. Barely any cheese or sauce. Ended up with a tough, flavorless and dry pizza for $23. If you decide to eat here, inspect your pizza first! I'm done with them. read more

The parking lot can be a bit tricky and the place itself is kind of like a hole in the wall---but--the employees there are so friendly and know a thing or two about their menu. The guy who helped me yesterday was spot on-acknowledged me right away--gave me my cup when he learned I was doing the lunch special, this way I could get something to drink while waiting to be rung up. That was so thoughtful. The ginormous slice of pizza came out-it was so good! The slice was a little dry, but that is not the norm for them. The knots were heavenly! OMG! I could make a whole lunch out of just those! Glad to be able to call this a normal lunch hang out now! I recommend this pizza spot! read more

Upper Crust Pizza - Pizza by the Slice and a drink $7! - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Still my favorite pizza in Tucson. One of the only places that makes their own dough and sauce. I've tried pizza all over Tucson, and Upper Crust at Grant and Campbell is always the best by far. You pay a little more, but it's great pizza. I suggest the whole pizza with only one or two toppings at most. They spend money on better quality ingredients and it shows. They have nice inside seating and a soda machine with crunch ice. A few TVs with many games on and always delicious. read more

this used to be one of my favorite spots for pizza and garlic knots ..... the last two times I've ordered I've been very disappointed in the decline of quality. The last time I ordered the garlic knots, they were over cooked and dry, missing that nice drench of garlic & butter ... this time around ordering a pizza, the slices didn't seem anything like I'm used to from this place. The slices were thicker and way saucier with the cheese sliding off the sides of the pizza... I used to enjoy this spot for their perfectly thin crust and easy-going sauce:cheese ratio.... im bummed to say that after a second time being disappointed with my purchase that Upper Crust Pizza has moved from my favorite pizza spot in Tucson down to a spot I probably will not order from again. read more

At first I didnt want to wait ten minutes and 8 dollars seemed ridiculous for 1 slice. Well it was worth the wait and definitely worth the 8 bucks. I guess now I do remember why I liked this place the first time I went and will definitely hit it up time and time again in the future. 8 dollars seems like a lot, but the amount of pizza in one huge slice here, is alot better than most full meals you order now for 10 bucks or more. read more

I've never been to Upper Crust Pizza so I decided to try it. I purchased a large cheese pizza. I sat where the televisions were at but noticed individuals who ordered before me were getting their food first. They said it would take 20-25 minutes but it took an hour to get my order. Reason being the person making the pizza apparently called out my name but I was in the other room far from where the pizza is made so I couldn't hear the cook. Nor did the cooks co-workers come into the other room to call out my name. Pizza just sat waiting I guess for customers to come to the front to ask. Suggestion maybe give out numbers to people who ordered so that the employees can track who needs to be serviced. read more
