After attending an absolutely DELICIOUS Yelp Elite event a month or so ago, I'd been DYING to return to Crust and Roux. I finally got the opportunity to do so last week, when I had family in town visiting from Chicago.
I'd seen on their Instagram that they were having a family event on Friday night, right at the time we were planning to be there. I was a little concerned because I wanted to make sure that we were able to get a table, so I'd commented on their post.
One of their team reached out to me via DM, and we were able to reserve a table. They were absolutely amazing, and even accommodated a last minute addition to the reservation.
When we arrived, we were seated right away. Meghan was our server, and she went out of her way to make sure that we were well taken care of. She was super friendly, made conversation, and gave us recommendations for drinks that we weren't super familiar with.
Now, let's talk about the food!
The thing with attending Yelp events, is...spots usually put their best foot forward, and don't always live up to that expectation when you return. Not so with Crust and Roux! Everything was perfect.
We ordered:
The Sicilian (which I'd had at the event)
The Greek (Also had at the event)
The Parma.
My BIL also ordered the strawberry pie in a cup, and we ordered a slice of pecan pie to take home.
The 2 pizzas I'd had before were exactly as I remembered them. Flavorful. Delicious crisp, yet chewy crust. Plentiful toppings.
The Parma was a new one for me, and this was the favorite of my husband and BIL. Topped with paper thin prosciutto, little bursts of cherry tomato, CHEESE (including shaved parm), and rocket (arugula), this pizza was SO good...we ordered a second one to take home, and sent half the original pizza home with my sister and BIL.
I didn't try the strawberry pie, but my BIL devoured every last morsel, so I'm going to assume he liked it lol.
The pecan pie slice was ENORMOUS, and we enjoyed it for a couple of days, having a bite at a time. It was absolutely delicious!
If you sign up for their rewards program you are able to get perks and discounts, which is always a plus.
They host family/build your own pizza nights every month (I want to say twice a month, but I'm not positive that is correct lol), which is super fun.
Prices might seem a little on the higher side, but let me tell you, you're paying for quality ingredients, and excellent service. Its absolutely worth it.
Not feeling pizza? They have pot pies (the seafood pie is to die for), and salads too!
Huge shout out to Crust and Roux for another great experience. We'll be back soon!!
