Guestbook & Reviews

Experience Through Their Eyes

Crust and cocktails is a very nice addition to the valley. With excellent pizza and drinks. The drinks are well balanced they are not overly sweet. The pizza is well baked it held it's shape well when a slice was picked up and had well chosen toppings. Whoever designed the menu put genuine thought into it. With them not being overly meat heavy and balanced between vegetables and spice and sweetness. The restaurant is fairly large so a wait is not likely. But you absolutely should go out and try this quaint and rustic looking bar. It is absolutely worth the trip.

I finally made it to this place after hearing many good things from friends! I got the truffles n wild mushroom pizza, ridiculously delicious. Tyson and Sydney also served me yummy beverages, while brightening the atmosphere for those of us sitting at the bar. What more could you want?! I'll be back soon for more good food and great vibes :)

Hi everyone, if you are reading this review you are probably looking for a new restaurant or new pizza, I have great news, look no further, you have found a homerun. I went with my wife and another couple, we started with the charcuterie board. Which was good, not spectacular but definetly hit the spot, no complaints and had much more on it than I expected. The pizza was absolutely one of the best pizzas I have ever had, bar none. They had different choices of pizza sauces, different types of flavorings to dip crust in ( I got the the garlic butter aoili) and many different toppings. It was awesome we had 3 different types of pizza and everyone raved about the pizza. The cocktails were great to, I tried three different ones all 3 were unique to Crust and cocktails and all 3 were fantastic. I didn't meet the bartender but he makes a great drink. The service was perfect also. The waiter was busy but we never had to wait for service, I am unsure how he was able.to keep up but he did, we will definetly be back. We also got a dessert which was amazing as well, I am basing that on how happy it made my wife!!! I took a picture of the dessert sadly I forgot to take a picture of the pizza. I promise you will not be disappointed if you come here. I forgot to mention that 2 of the 3 cocktails had a small piece of dry ice in them, that extra touch made it more fun.

I'd been hearing all the buzz on socials, so when a girlfriend suggested grabbing a drink on a Monday night, we decided to head to the Valley and give this place a try. From the moment we pulled up, I was impressed--the exterior is warm and inviting with beautiful landscaping and patio seating. Inside, the decor strikes a perfect balance of feminine and masculine, creating an atmosphere that feels both stylish and welcoming. We grabbed two seats at the bar and instantly appreciated the bar stools--substantial, comfortable, and dare I say... even a little sexy. The drinks were fantastic and well-poured; we tried the Summer Spritz, Pomegranate Margarita, and Lavender Margarita, and each one was a hit. For dinner, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Pizza. When it arrived, both of us literally gasped--and even the guy next to us couldn't hide his envy. It was absolute perfection: beautiful, flavorful, and unforgettable. The service matched the food and drinks--attentive and friendly without being overbearing. We both agreed this is a spot we'll be returning to soon and often. So glad this place lived up to the hype I've been seeing online. It's an absolute must-try!

First time here at Crust and Cocktails, and we loved it! We are charcuterie board lovers and though I would change a couple things about it, it was delicious! And the most reasonably priced board in the area. The pizza I had was to die for. I am a HUGE pesto lover and I had the chicken pesto personal pizza. I was in heaven! They are also one of the few places in the area that serve the vodka seltzer Carbliss, so my entire meal was outstanding - one of the best I've had in recent memory. Our server John, third day on the job, is a lovely addition to the staff. Friendly and attentive, even though the place was pretty busy. And considering that, the food came out pretty quickly! We will absolutely be repeat customers at this new (at least to us) eatery in the area. Love it!

If you're looking for something truly elevated, this place absolutely delivers. The cocktails are crafted with precision and creativity -- every drink feels intentional, balanced, and worthy of the price point. You can tell real thought goes into both the flavor combinations and presentation. The pizza is just as impressive. High-end ingredients, perfectly executed crust, and flavor profiles that go beyond the ordinary. It's refined without being pretentious -- just seriously good food. What really sets it apart, though, is the atmosphere and staff. The vibe is polished yet welcoming, and the service is attentive without being overbearing -- something we honestly don't get enough of in this area. It feels like a big-city experience right here at home. Highly recommend for date night, celebrations, or when you just want to treat yourself to quality across the board.
