The best pizza I’ve had in a very long time! Will definitely be back again and again! I do wish they would add sun dried tomatoes to the toppings list.

Outstanding thin crust A+ sauce. Long wait however they are expanding in a new location which should address this issue. Price is reasonable and service quick once you get a table.

Pretty good. Probably would not order again because of the way the pizza is cut in squares. Who started this? Jet’s does the same thing with their thin-crust.

Excellent thin crust pizza loaded with your favorite toppings. Created one of our own and had one of their creations. We loved both and had enough to take home and enjoyed for afternoon treat with some wine the next day. The wait to get a table was well worth it. Looking forward to returning again and again.

Take out order. It was ready fairly quickly… but one of the two pizzas I ordered was completely wrong. I overpaid for it. My fault for not checking. The Greek salad which I was really excited for because of all the reviews could have been better. The dressing was mostly oil and flavorless. The tomatoes were overripe and mushy. In the end the pizza was good. Not great. Not hot. And definitely not memorable. Sorry to report. I do feel because of location this place will still do well but it may not be around for good.

Delicious pizza, friendly staff and comfortable dine-in atmosphere. The Crust offers lots of toppings and provides a fantastic pizza less the grease. I actually went back and got take-out on my way to the airport and it did not disappoint. The Crust gets my approval and I’ll definitely be back.

LOVE The Crust restaurant! Even though I was brought up on NY style pizza, I love the thin flaky crust of The Crust’s pizza. Their specialty pizzas are remarkable and salads are always fresh. You can tell that the owners/management focuses a lot on quality. You can definitely taste it in their food. Tip: Just be careful on how you order as it can get pretty pricey if everyone in your party orders custom personal pies. From experience, I suggest ordering a 16 inch that everyone in your party agrees on the toppings.

The Crust has elevated the thin-crust/ingredients-end-to-end/tavern-cut pizza to its highest art. The crispy on the bottom crust is the key. any extra or take-home can be reheated to crispy perfection the next day. The pizza makers of Columbus should be jealous that their home town product has been one-upped in Naples!

True«Ohio valley» or «pub pizza»! Thin crispy crust, covered to the edge with no lip, cut party style(squares). Delicious and the best pizza South Florida has to offer! We also ordered the Italian sub and it also was cooked perfect. Truly toasted bread with the right toppings. We are beyond thrilled to have this place around! We live about an hour away but we will happily drive for our pizza fix!

This place was really good. The gluten free pizza was awesome and the service was great as well. Definitely going to start eating here more often.

Highly recommend the Palermo pizza. it’s a great blend of flavors-from the caramelized onions to the blue cheese. I’ve had other pizza combinations, but I always go back to the Palermo. The salads are fresh and the sandwiches are just as good as the pizza(at least the Italian sub is and now my go-to sandwich). Each time I visit, I invite a new set of friends to join me… it’s a neighborhood place that needs to be shared. The family owned business is not only always welcoming, but the service and atmosphere is so warm and friendly, I really don’t mind waiting for a table to open… and yes, it’s always busy because it’s a trifecta(food, service and atmosphere).

Still on the prowl for a good NY style pizza in Naples. I had high expectations for The Crust. The staff was very friendly and helpful over the phone and in person. The pizza however, fell short of expectations. The flavor was like that of a frozen pizza. The dough itself was thin and crisp but overall bland in flavor. The sauce and cheese were generic. Also, the slicing in into cubes is really gimmicky and makes it impossible to enjoy a slice. Great if you were throwing a cocktail party though.

Tonight I tried The Crust for the first time and a friend told me it was his«new favorite pizza place». Crust is sometimes my favorite part of a pizza… Uhm, yes please! Called in a pick up order, a girl named Nicole who took my order was very polite. Told me a 15 minute wait time, I was shocked by the length, but super pleased! Arrived, worked my way to the counter… surprised to see a new, local pizza joint busy on a Thursday night, in the off season!!! Now I see why. An older spunky blonde woman cashed me out at the counter… her and a cute scruffy young man talked me into trying their home made creamy Parm sauce(when I asked for ranch, which they don’t carry). Tried it and love it! Loving the personalities in this place too, feels like a real Mom & Pop type of place! I tipped well on my take out order due to this two. TOMYFELLOW UnilocalERS… ALWAYS, I REPEAT, ALWAYSTIPONTAKEOUTORDERS! You have no idea what they go through to assure your order is the way it should be. THISPIZZAISGREAT. We ordered a Meat Lovers, add pineapple. They are generous with toppings and cheese, could’ve used just a liiiittle more sauce though. Their marinara is super tasty, would’ve liked more on the pie! The sweet pineapple tamed the salty meats, disappointed they don’t carry black olives. And the crust is amazing. Thin and crispy yet somehow it’s a little soft, love it!!! Got a meatball sub too. Good meatballs, but barely any cheese on it. C’mon Guys! The bread was soft and covered in sesame seeds. It was decent… IF I order it again I’ll order it with extra cheese. I really like this place so far. Like that it’s a real pizza joint, you sit down, they serve you, it’s personal. You can actually go and enjoy a meal there. Because no one wants to go on a date and sit in the front window of a dominos. Feels old school, makes me feel at home. Great for families, small groups, and even date night. Good vibes, great food, friendly staff… I’ll definitely be back! But next time I want to, no I have to, dine in!

Wow wow wow!!! We stopped in here with friends. I’m so glad we did! The owner and the wait staff were so very friendly, the atmosphere was fun and the décor was nice. Our salads were huge! What a deal! And, they were amazing! Each one was a meal in itself for less than $ 10. We ordered pizza and it was to die for!!! It was perfect and tasty and beautifully presented. I heard they are moving to a larger place– they will need to because this place was hopping! I’m not surprised as there aren’t a lot of exceptional pizza places in Naples. This one is the best around!!! It took us a long time to find the best and I’m so glad we did– we will be letting everyone in our community know about this gem!

I’m not a thin crust lover but this place changed my mind. Really enjoyed the food and the service was solid considering every table was packed! Will be going back again. I just hope that their success doesn’t go to their heads once they move into the new, much bigger location and all of a sudden realize they are out of season and need more locals to support them.

«The Crust» is the best pizza on the East coast. How do I know. Let me tell you a story. While on an extended business trip that will take me all over the country for 49 days, I was in Naples on my way to Vanderbilt Beach where I visited often as a University if Miami student-athlete. I was on my way for a run on the beach when I stumbled upon«The Crust» for a quick lunch. When I asked the waitress if the pizza was good she smiled and said«yes, it’s very good, thin and crispy and cut into square pieces.» This caught my attention as I know that having grown up in Columbus, Ohio that there is only ONE place that has pizza like that; the world famous Tommy’s Pizza & Subs. Tommy’s is an INSTITUTION in Columbus and known by everyone. I knew once I got my side salad that I was in for a treat because I could tell these people knew what they were doing and this wasn’t going to be just another run of the mill pretender pizza joint of South Florida. When she brought my small pepperoni, I almost had tears in my ears. Evidently, the owner and his wife spent two years trying to come up with a replica of the Tommy Pizza crust. In my opinion, this pizza was even better than Tommy’s. They also have gone a step further in having some other pizza toppings that Tommy’s of Columbus does not have and they also have the subs that are so famous to the Buckeye State. As a frequent traveler and pizza lover, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed at The Crust. You can just tell they take a lot of pride in their product, staff and appearance. It really is a little gem and I am so glad I found it. I will save a lot of airfare going to Columbus when now all I have to do is come across from Fort Lauderdale. The Crust is a perfect«10».

Dropped in on a whim after sunset(in other words, when the whole world is going out for dinner!) and was truly wowed by this newish joint in the neighborhood. The Crust is shoe-horned into a long, narrow space near the LA Fitness in Pavilion, but absolutely makes the most of it. The long kitchen hugs the back left of the room, with dining spaces wrapping around it in an «L». Counter seating and booths back along the kitchen, booths and tables in the full-width space up front, and lots of patio seating outside. It is amazing how many people they can seat, and they need to with the way business is booming. The décor is industrial, with lots of reclaimed wood and metal, but cheeky art lines the walls: old-school black and white celebs(Hitchcock, Elvis, etc.) with color Crust food photoshopped in. The other thing that will jump out at you is the number of staff(at one point I counted 14 within sight) for such a small space, and the efficiency and friendliness with which they operate. Most other Naples restaurants could come here to take lessons. The food. Great. Our party had a salad, a sub, and a pizza. The salad was well portioned, with fresh and crisp lettuce, a zesty Caesar dressing and(thank God!) anchovies. The only missed note were the odd croutons, some of which were just too big and too hard to comfortably mix in with a forkful of salad. The meatball sub was pronounced one of the best ever. Hard to go wrong with a good meatball and good sauce, but the bun really made it work. Often buns are so hard and crusty that biting through pushes the contents of the sub out of the bun, or so soft that the sauce soaks into the bread resulting in a sloppy, soggy mess. These buns were perfect, and fresh, and spectacularly well suiting to holding up to the sauce while still allowing the eater to cut through them without dissolving the precious cargo within. Finally, the pizza. Cracker crisp crust, but with a little bit of doughy goodness«floating»(as described by our server) on top to give both textures. Great and fresh ingredients on top — we did sausage, onion, green pepper — in just the right amounts created a balanced and tasty morsel. Cut square style like back home in Minnesota which allows you to better share and/or tailor the amount you eat to your appetite. Edible with knife and fork or with the fingers. We all ate more than we had planned; it was that good. Right now, resisting the urge to run to the fridge and retrieve the leftovers! Prices were not cheap, but reasonable and affordable. Both Coke and Pepsi products available(thank you!) plus wine and beer. This place is now on the must-stop list for our visits to Naples!

This is a fairly new establishment and a cool place to hang out. The décor is hip and the entire place is very clean. I had a Greek salad and meatball sub. The dressing and feta on the Greek salad were delish, HOWEVER please note the Greek salad has no lettuce which is kind of a bummer, just veggies and feta. They did offer to add some lettuce so that was nice. The meatball sub was delish. The meatballs were juicy and flavorful. I was told they are a mix of veal, pork, and beef which made for a light and tasty meatball. The bread was toasted perfectly and help the meatballs and sauce without falling apart. Prices are reasonable and the staff was nice. I would definitely go back.
