Living in Naples for over a year now, I am ashamed I had not been here yet.
COVID, they have spaced out tables and are extra clean with sanitizers everywhere and of course, masks for the staff.
Onto the good stuff.... superb! Plenty of beers on tap and your typical AB drafts and bottles which amounts to a good selection including wines by the glass & on tap!
The food is basic...you can get pizza or you can get a salad which isn't complicated and perfect as your order comes out QUICK.
We got the 16" Family special ($29) and it was worth every cent. Square cut, crunchy, tasty and almost irresistible

Liked it! Pros: Great service, cool style of pizza, and great ambience. Tons of topping available and the pizza is stacked with what you order! Coca-Cola in a glass bottle! Really good crushed ice! They show you a visual portion side so you can decide.
Cons: booth tables have a tight fit, and kinda simple menu. No different choices in crust.
The smell is amazing when you walk in. No dessert menu. Good salad selection.
Large bar with plenty of beers on tap.
Bathrooms have changing tables which is very family friendly.
Overall a good experience.

Wondering why I chose tonight to post this review. Hmmmm??? We have been enjoying this pizza for as long as the restaurant has been open and maybe it's about time. This is a no frills restaurant that serves pizza on cardboard discs saving all the value for fresh delicious toppings. Every square (not slice) is virtually covered with whatever topping you choose and the crust is crispy enough to handle those topping without folding. The crazy thing about The Crust is the wine offerings are not at all what you would expect from a pizzeria and the salads are as good or better than most high

I have been going to The Crust on Vanderbilt for the last four years and the pizza there was the best in town. This was a happening for a group as we went every Wednesday night.
When they opened the location on 41 the pizza we tried it and the pizza was not near as good.
We just ordered a pizza to go and had to pick it up at the 41 location as they do not have carry outs at the Vanderbilt location.
While waiting for my pizza I soon discovered the difference, the oven they use on Vanderbilt is the old type pizza oven and the one on 41 is a conveyor type.
Big difference in quality and I discussed

When this place first opened up it was somewhat difficult to get in. Certainly a establishment with the word CRUST in its name is going to be known for its handmade or specialty made crust. And actually the crust is probably the best part of it. Coming in today for the 20th time in multiple years (I have not been here for a while) I was somewhat surprised to see a half empty restaurant. The bar which normally is full of people watching some sport, was nearly empty except for three other people, and over half the booths and tables were empty. Could've been the time that I was there, dinnertime

Good pizza and a fresh salad. Would actually give the place 3.5 stars but not 4. Loved the crust but was thrown off a little by their use of provolone (they don't use mozzarella) but regardless was still good.
I would come again and believe it's the best Midwest style pizza after sampling all competitors.

The pizza is good but they just can't handle the volume on a busy night. We waited thirty minutes for a table which is fine but then aired an hour after ordering to get our pizzas. And they don't really have any appetizers other than salads. Our waitress dealt with the obviously excessive delay by joking about it but what we really would've appreciated was an apology and an explanation.

Came here on a Thursday night at about 6 for pizza. Very thin crust style pizza. We had 3 different pizzas: meat lovers, chicken and artichoke, and pepperoni. One person had an italian hogie, extra good. All the pizzas were really good and the service was great. Even have beer and wine, with limited selections but very acceptable options.
The vibe is casual and very family/kid friendly. Makes for a fun evening. Overall-- I am sure I will go back.

The pizza was really good! Definitely one of the best in Naples. I loved the crispy crust, loads of toppings (small pepperoni slices, small pieces of ham are a plus), and square cut. However, if you try and order online they basically only give you their specialty pizza options; and if you try to do your pizza 1/2 and 1/2, it defaults to half cheese only, and the other half can only be, you guessed it...their specialty pizza. It absolutely will not allow you to change your options. Would be great if they fixed this! True, you can call in your order, however for someone who might want as little

The pizza is awesome and service is great, but they have a rule I completely don't understand. If you call ahead and order your pizza they will not let you eat it in the dining room. The place was empty. I truly have no idea why they would do that. Even if it was busy I would have happily waited my turn for a table. I hope they change this rule, as obviously it is not being applied as the ownership intended.

Our first time here cannot tell you in words how great the service and food. I have had many different pizzas in my life have to say this place tops the charts. The hostess was very kind he came out to talk to us and tell us about Naples since we only been here for a week.
Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great pizza

Decent pizza place with quick pies and a small pizza-focused menu. It's right around the corner from my place so I had to give it the usual test run, because a local pizza place is a must to find.
I sat myself and a nice gentleman gave me a menu and the waitress came by and took my drink order. They have beer on draft, it's just... sadly not good beer. Think more run-of-the-mill domestic, affordable beer. They did have a blonde ale that was local but not that good.
Not knocking them for it, since pizza DOES almost traditionally go with cheap beer BUT I'd argue that trend is dying

Being from Buffalo NY we know a few things and pizza one of them. The pizza is ok, not great but not terrible. Basic cheese and pepperoni they loaded that pie with so much pepperoni it was like trying to find waldo but with cheese. Service was great 4 stars, atmosphere awesome 5 stars, pizza ok 2 stars
11 stars divide that by 3= 3.6 ~ 4 stars

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 decor 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!!!
