Crust Restaurant in Miami is a true gem for pizza enthusiasts and Italian cuisine lovers. The moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The wood-fired pizzas are the star of the show, perfectly crispy crusts and a delightful array of fresh toppings. The pasta dishes are equally impressive. The staff are attentive and friendly, ensuring a top-notch dining experience from start to finish. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Crust is a must-visit for an exceptional meal.

A family restaurant with a homie feel. Food is great. Menu prices are very reasonable and portions are ginormous. The chicken parm is as good as advertised. Garlic rolls are so addictive, I ordered some just to take home. LOL! Their pies are also some of the best I've had in South Florida. During my last visit, I made a reservation and took my parents there for my dad's 73rd birthday. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted at the door by the owner, Ms. Anita. She was gracious and very welcoming. Even greeted my dad by his name which was very cool. From the owner to the waiter on down to the busboy, they all make you feel like family when you're there. Service is second to none. Definitely looking forward to going back.

We never get tired, and always look forward with excitement, to dining at CRUST! This is my wife and my idea of our favorite and not so secret little restaurant. The food is always amazing and it was this night as well. We started with sharing the Shrimp Cake appetizer (really enough or two to share) and then the Four Cheese pizza with 4 separate toppings. We finished with an amazing tiramisu. The ambiance, sound level, and service were perfect as always. I really hesitate to recommend this place because you guys will crowd it all out for us! Parking, unfortunately, remains the only problem. It is a congested high rise residential area and so we had to give it to the valet for $15.00 but the good news is that he will accept a credit card.

This used to be my favorite restaurant in Miami for many years... Abundant, delicious Italian food at fair prices! I visited with the wife yesterday only to my total disappointment that it sold and is under new management. Well under this new management food is no longer delicious (just average) and prices are ridiculous! And on top of it all you get charged automatically with 20% gratuity and they ask for additional tip. 2 pizza + 2 drinks = $120 + parking Will not be back and no longer recommend.

New ownership quickly destroyed the essence of what Crust was about. The pizza remained good, but the food was so..so and the service was extremely unprofessional. The employees were very congenial but knew nothing of the proper way to serve food and remove the used plates. The restaurant had very few tables filled at 6:30 pm. A huge disappointment for us. Anita, where have you gone? We miss you.

Crust feels more like a irish sportsbar then the cosy italian restaurant we expected. The contrast to the fantastic Pane Vino we visited the day before couldnt be bigger. We started with a good Pinot Noir, to serve a 80+ dollar red wine in room temperature is not ok. The attitude/customer service of the kitchen manager ( owner) is what baffles me most about Crust. It says clear in the menu; No additions & nothing will be removed. We asked our waiter to make a salad for our 9 year old daughter with salad, tomatoe & onion. Answer from the kitchen was not possibel. I said charge full price as the more fancy salads, just leave out some ingrediences that a 9 year old dont want. Not gonna happen was the answer again. She ended up with a large Cesar Salad full of parmesan cheese, which she dont like. So we ended up order room service for her back at our hotel. The customer service provided from the kitchen manager (owner) is not to believe. It was almost empty restaurant, he just dont want adjust for customers wishes, not even for a 9 year old girl. Juan was our waiter for the evening, he did a good job. My wife liked her Carpaccio for starter. Prosciutto with burrata not in my taste. I prefer parma ham in a dish like this. But thats my opinion, my wife liked the ham. 2 Margarita pizzas came up next. Ok pizza, but crust & tomatoesauce not on top level. We ended the evening with Spaghetti Carbonara & Lobster Ravioli. Biggest portions i ever see, but the quality is far away from the standard served in good restaurants in Italy. Start listen to your customers instead of the arrogant approach you have now, that will help you alot in the future.

You have every right to spend your money wherever you want and like or dislike any restaurant. But you don't have a right to attack me personally and preach to me how to run my business and mention other restaurants on our page here. Since you attack me personally and call me arrogant let me give you my personal opinion of you. If you were such a good parent instead of drinking 2 bottles of wine between you and your wife, you should have read the menu and ordered a caprese salad. You eat the mozzarella cheese and you give the tomatoes to your 9 year old. You had a buratta so you like cheese, and the problem would have been solved. We don't offer "make your own salad" nor can the servers order something that's not on our extremely large menu. You should known that no means no. You should also know that in America we don't drink chilled red wine. And know the difference between American/Italian and traditional Italian Restaurants. You can't even tell the difference between Linguine and Spaghetti, I have never served Spaghetti at CRUST. You mentioned Pane & Vino and stated that CRUST was also almost empty. Angelo of Pane & Vino is a friend of mine, and he knows that CRUST does about 50% of its business in take-out and delivery. You dined on Wednesday night and in the summertime any restaurant can have a slow week day. Now you learn something new.

I was searching reviews online for a good place to take my kids to eat in Miami and kept coming across Crust. I made a reservation on Open Table for the following night, or so I though… We arrived at 8:45 on Saturday night for our 9:00 reservation and I gave the hostess my name. Much to my chagrin, she told me that our reservation was for Sunday night at 9:00… Before I could even react, the owner overheard and asked if we would mind sitting outside and that she would give us the next table available. She gave us menus and a place to sit while we waited for a table to become available. Once we were seated, we ordered the garlic rolls as an appetizer. They were the best garlic rolls that any of us have ever had, just flaky, crispy, chewy with just the right amount of garlic, butter and grated cheese. The kids ordered a pizza and spaghetti with meatballs off the kids menu, while I ordered the chicken parm. All I can say is oh my god! They nailed every single thing. The chicken parm was large enough for three meals! The chicken was juicy and abundant. The linguine was perfectly Al dente and the red sauce was some of the best I’ve had. The kids spaghetti and meatballs was large enough for two adult meals. My daughter ate more than I’ve ever seen her eat and made it through just over half of the portion. I have a pizza oven at home and consider myself somewhat of a pizza connoisseur. My youngest told me that the pizza was even better than mine and darn it if I didn’t have to agree with her after taking a bite! We ordered chocolate cake for the kids to split for dessert and I ordered the lemon cake. Again- they nailed it. The lemon cake was the star of the show and I don’t even usually like or order lemon desserts. It was the perfect textures with just the right amount of sweetness and tart. We boxed up about 5 pounds of food and left very happy. My kids said that it was the best meal that they’ve ever had and it was definitely top 5 for me. We tried to make reservations again for Monday night, but unfortunately, they’re closed on Monday’s and Tuesdays. If I was wealthy enough, I’d have that same exact meal flown directly to us by private jet at least every Sunday. Until then, we’ll be returning any time we’re in the area. Thank you for a great meal and even better hospitality!

Simply the best Italian Restaurant in Miami! From pizza, to pasta, or anything Italian you will not be disappointed. This restaurant is serving up home style authentic Italian food full of flavor and quality. Service is quick and always with a smile from the host to the waiter everyone was happy. They even offer gluten free options my wife and daughter said that the pasta dish with meat sauce was some of the best they had ever eaten. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this restaurant to friends and family in the Miami area. Heck it’s worth the drive even if your not in the area.

I've known Kline, the chef and owner for at least 10 years because I've done work for him in tech especially before he even opened the joint but that's just some history. Throughout the years he has called me to help him with his network, phone system and some. He's the nicest chef I've known for a long time. He's always insisted in me trying the food and I have tried a few pies here and there and so I'd be the first to tell you that the pizza is unquestionably some of the best in the nation. Tonight I had a concert nearby and decided to swing by and try some of the pasta so let's talk about what I had for dinner... Garlic rolls: an order of three mouthwatering garlic rolls that could easily be shared because they're very generous with portions here. Shrimp cakes: lightly breaded shrimp cakes sitting on tomato coulis and lemon horseradish mayo. The cakes alone are very flavorful but dip it in the sauce and it elevates it to a whole new level. Not too fishy and definitely not bland, you can taste the shrimp in the mix without a doubt. Seafood linguine: shrimp, mussels, calamari, fish and clams on a olive oil and garlic sauce by choice because you could choose a creamy, Alfredo, pink or marinara sauce when you order. All seafood was fresh, not chewy, pasta cooked al dente and sauce was light just like I wanted. I didn't have room for the limoncello cake that I had every intention to try but I'll leave it for my next visit. Andres, the bartender/waiter was most courteous and attentive and Kline's wife was also very welcoming and cordial. I didn't expect any less from this gem of an establishment. Needless to say, an amazing dining experience.

I reserved a table at Crust on Christmas Day because it was one of the few restaurants open and a friend recommended it. We arrive about 15 minutes before the restaurant opened and the hostess (I believe she is one of the owners) graciously seated us early. We were impressed all around, as the title of this reviews states, excellent quality, quantity and service. Price was reasonable, not cheap, and we will definitely return.

Another wonderful meal at CRUST. upon entering we were greeted by Anita, who makes everyone feel special. The service was top notch as always. The food was spectacular. The freshness of the ingredients, the manner in which they’re prepared, the abundant portions make every choice memorable. We enjoyed seafood risotto, gnocchi and several pasta dishes. They all arrived in a timely manner and piping hot from the kitchen. Zeppoles we’re shared at meals end to sweeten the memory. Run don’t walk to CRUST.

While we are frequent travelers to Miami, we always try to find somewhere that has great food and great service. It seems that this should be a relatively easy task but apparently is not. Crust gets five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the way around. When we initially called we were greeted by a very friendly person who got us reservations last minute. Upon arrival at the restaurant we heard the same bubbly voice and saw an even bigger smile. We knew we were in the right place. It turns out this was Anita who is one of the Owners. We started with appetizers, baked mozzarella & burrata. It came out fast and was delicious. We then had difficulty narrowing it down because there were such great options. We ordered the sausage pizza, which comes with eggplant and Kalamata olives. It was absolutely delicious. In all the years of eating pizza, I wouldn’t have thought this combination would taste good but it was incredible and making us want to try the other pizzas. We then ordered Chicken Parm which was a home run. The chicken was juicy tender and the sauce and cheese was a smashing success. We wanted to get dessert but couldn’t fit any more. As we were walking away the friendly voice wished us well. If you are looking for excellent food and service you are in the right spot. Enjoy!!!!!’

We recently dined at Crust, and the food was delicious. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and seated quickly. The meal portions are huge. One entree could have easily been shared and no one would go away hungry. The only thing that prevented me from giving Crust a 5/5 was our server. He was slow to come to our table to take our order. Our food came quickly. They appear to have people whose job it is to serve the food. The server did not check to see if we wanted cheese or to ask if everything was okay or if we needed anything. We were finished eating before he returned to our table and asked if things were good, He acted surprised and a bit judgmental when we said no to boxing our leftovers to take with us despite the fact that we told him we were flying out the next day.

We have been hearing about this place for sometime and couldn’t wait to try it when my daughter was in town visiting. We had heard about their chicken parm and their large portions but other than that we didn’t know what to expect. In Miami when we can get good service OR good ambience OR good food we might come back so it is a rarity to find all of that in one place but this restaurant delivers. We tried the chicken parmigiana , the chicken marsala, and the supreme pizza with a side of grilled zucchini and we topped it all off with Granny Smith apple crumble a la mode. We had leftovers but I have no problems with that. Ill be eating (and enjoying) lunch from Crust all week!

The ambience of this restaurant is welcoming and charming. The food is one of the best that i have ever tried and for their price is absolutely worth it and you can tell that making the customer happy is their main priority. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and very nice, I enjoyed every single dish I ordered. Anita the owner made our experience great. Love this place and will continue to visit. Highly recommend. 💛
