Crust Pizza Co. - Baton Rouge
85.62
Score
2121 Millerville Rd Suite C, Baton Rouge, LA 70816, USA
Crust Pizza Co. on Millerville Road offers pizzas with a notably crisp base. The Blackened Chicken Capri arrives with a generous amount of fresh spinach and a substantial portion of pasta.
Service at the Millerville location proves efficient. Servers, like Kenny, provide patient and attentive interactions, ensuring prompt order fulfillment.
The establishment maintains a clean environment, including the restrooms. However, the bone-in wings, while flavorful, are consistently soft, a detail noted by several patrons.

G's Pizza
85.00
Score
4840 Bienville St, New Orleans, LA 70119, USA
G's Pizza offers a thin, light crust on its pies, a notable characteristic for a New Orleans establishment. The Narcissist and Meat Lovers pizzas were singled out for their quality. Accompaniments like hummus and Brussels sprouts also garnered positive attention.
Service is efficient; a waitress named Izzy, for instance, kept drinks filled and attended to needs promptly. The atmosphere is noted as cool, with a particularly pleasant back patio area.
While most pizzas arrived warm, one pickup order featured a Margarita pizza that was lukewarm, with a doughy center despite its thin crust. This inconsistency with takeout contrasts with the generally well-received dine-in experience.

Red Zeppelin Pizza
84.97
Score
4395 Perkins Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
The establishment’s patio seating presented a promising start, though the initial reception proved less welcoming. A wait of ten minutes at the hostess stand, with multiple staff members actively serving but none offering acknowledgment, preceded a brief, unhelpful exchange with an employee citing the restaurant’s busyness. This led to a premature departure without tasting the advertised offerings.
Further accounts reveal a disparity in execution. One patron experienced a thin crust pizza with an insufficient amount of cheese, while another found the crust unpleasantly hard. The hummus, however, was consistently praised. Service, when engaged, was described as efficient and amiable, particularly by those who secured dry seating despite tables remaining uncleaned.
The menu features distinct pizza options, including one incorporating boudin. Garlic and cheese breads are noted as crunchy and flavorful. A sandwich was deemed substantial and well-prepared. The available beverage selection encompasses beer, wine, and spirits.

Lit Pizza
84.62
Score
3930 Burbank Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, USA
The thin crust at Lit Pizza held up well against the combination of pepperoni, sausage, bacon, roasted garlic, and bell pepper. House mozzarella offered a substantial pull.
The white sauce calzone, a noted specialty, arrived promptly despite a busy service. Customization extends to individual pizzas, with options like olivini and ricotta cheeses providing lighter flavor profiles.
Blood orange lemonade accompanied the meal. The establishment is described as clean, with friendly staff.

Magazine Pizza
83.00
Score
1068 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA
Magazine Pizza occupies a corner space on Magazine Street, the scent of baking dough a constant presence. The Margherita, a benchmark, featured a yielding crust, neither brittle nor excessively soft. Basil leaves lay scattered across a thin layer of tomato sauce, punctuated by dollops of melted mozzarella. A spinach artichoke dip arrived hot, its creamy texture a counterpoint to the pizza.
Service proved efficient. Staff accommodated a wheelchair user by deploying a ramp, an act of practical consideration. Food arrived promptly, whether dine-in or takeaway, the team navigating a busy period with composure. This attentiveness extends to menu guidance, with staff demonstrating familiarity with the offerings.
The establishment offers a gluten-free chicken and bacon pizza. Macaroni and cheese wedges served as a side. Prices are positioned as reasonable for the locale.
