Crust Pizza Co. - Baton Rouge

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.

Score
4840 Bienville St, New Orleans, LA 70119, USA

G's Pizza offers a curated selection of pizzas, with the Narcissist and Meat Lovers demonstrating solid execution. The thin crust provides a light base, particularly when paired with a spicy marinara. Accompaniments like hummus and Brussel sprouts stand out, boasting significant flavor and expert preparation.

The atmosphere is conducive to relaxed dining, with the back patio area providing a pleasant setting. Service is efficient, with staff demonstrating attentiveness to guest needs without being intrusive.

Though the pizza arrived warm, not hot, from a pickup order, the doughy center of a thin crust Margarita was noted as disappointing.

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.

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.

Score
5380 Jones Creek Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70817, USA

The Quatro Formaggi pizza presented a sharp, distinct cheese flavor that did not require embellishment. Other pies, like the pepperoni, registered as competent but unremarkable. Fried cheese arrived with a marinara sauce that complemented it well.

The Mediterranean salad offered a unique and satisfying profile. However, the spaghetti with meatballs proved a disappointment, featuring a substantial portion of noodles alongside a sauce and two noticeably processed meatballs.

The restaurant is clean, and takeout orders were prepared promptly. Pizzas sold by the slice appeared to have been on display for an extended period.
