Cafe Crust - Southampton

This used to be my favorite pizza place on the East Coast, but it seems they made some changes a few months ago. They now only offer 12" personal pizzas for the same price as their old larger ones. I recently paid $19.55 for a 12" margherita pizza that had very little cheese and was mostly sauce. I was extremely disappointed compared to their old pizzas.

If you haven't noticed recently a bunch of neapolitan/artisan pizza joints have popped up. Although Cafe Crust has been on the block for awhile I think so many of these specialty style pizza places will cause an over saturation, not unlike the bbq joints followed by the burgers after that. Honestly I think the standard NY style cheese pie is a better tasting pizza but that's just my opinion. All that being said Crust is a nice restaurant, probably exactly on the 3 1/2 stars where it is currently rated. The prosciutto was not the best I've ever had but good just the same. The restaurant is clean has a nice layout. 4 star dining, not quite but definitely a great lunch or date spot if you're in the mood for some fancy pizza.

This place is part of the Yelp Cash Back program and I got $2.21 back in my bank account after ordering here. They are great and offered to make cheese bread even though it's not on their menu! The pizza was good and tasty although probably more of a 4.5/5 and the roasted veggies were a bit simple so it's nothing too fancy but it hit the spot after the drive from the city! The pizza was a little cold when we ate it but that was our fault for driving another 15 mins before eating. This is really convenient right by a main road and the staff is excellent! I'd recommend!

My friends and I had lunch at this restaurant after hearing about it from several people. We were greeted warmly by the staff and had an excellent experience. The food was delicious and we enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend this place.

The restaurant has been closed since January 2020. It is now March.
