Crust Pizzeria Napoletana Vienna (Vera Pizza certified Pizzeria)

We had an incredible experience here! The pizza was amazing, the service was top-notch, and the staff were super friendly. What really impressed me was their commitment to using fresh ingredients instead of frozen ones, which definitely elevates the quality of their dishes. It's clear they care about serving high-quality food, and it shows!

The following pizza is their Vegetariana ( Vegetarian preferred Pizza) which has no meat at all. Why the following Vegitarina has Chicken? Well, that's simple. I like some protein in my Pizza. Then, here goes the customization after I get it... some salt, a little flake of Black Pepper (usually the small black jar next so salt), and design any shape you like with Balsamic thick sauce (will be given upon request). I don't know why I did round but looks good, isn't it? totally Loved the Vetegariana!🔥 Share your likes, preferences with the Restaurant. They're awesome to best understand your Pizza on the table. 🍕 Kids seemed very excited about the pizza's there. Has a family eating our vibe. Big tables with 10 chairs. They're my favorite 💯 Go try them if you like pizza. 'Crust Pizzeria Napoletana Vienna', Northern Virginia, US. 😊

Ordered the pesto chicken and capricciosa pizzas for $40. Both were very tasty, just wish they came in bigger sizes for the price.

He was kind but not professional despite it being a single order, they issued no less than three separate receipts. I couldn’t find any beef on my pizza. I paid for pepperoni beef pizza by the manager’s recommend. This is just a pepperoni pizza. First-time visitors, be cautious. Your pizza might get switched. The pizza here is not worth it.

Awesome awesome authentic Neapolitan style pizza at its best! Flour imported from Italy - authentic wood fired oven - Try the Margherita style pizza - the best!!! Service, food, beverages - will be back whenever I’m in town!

------- April 2025 update ------- After having dined at Crust several times over the years, I feel Crust deserves a renewed 5-star review. The food is top-shelf and taste quality has not wavered at all - especially the whole-stem fried artichoke which is just impossible find anywhere else. What astonishes is the dining setup and how laid-back and comfortable it is from walking in, to ordering, to sit down, to eating, and wrap-up. Only wish more restaurants were designed like Crust where there's no lengthy wait for snobbish or obnoxious wait staff, no pressure upsell chats, and no discriminating interfaces for table set or clean up. The complimentary oil, vinegar, chili flakes, and oregano is communal. And the price per pie only increased by couple dollars over the years. Crust is an utterly fan-freaking-tastic laid-back place to unwind and dine. ------- 2019 origin review ------- Many of you will read this and see the well-worn list of clichés embedded in my review. But for a dish with a debatable origin story tracing back to Chinese scallion pancakes and that has been adapted/adopted by all food-motivated populations on Earth, there isn't really that much left to say. Except that I had what seems to be the most authentic Pizza Margarita without having to fly to Naples, Italy. Don't believe? Take a look at the pics and go try it for yourself. A wood-fired brick oven that delivers over 1000 degrees, ordered pizza that takes 2-3 minutes to cook, and final product eaten with a knife & fork staying true to how locals in Naples may eat it today. But this is all just show and dance, because the 5 star rating I'm giving is all about the food, flavor, and TOTAL VALUE. The [authentic] pizza is $15 with buffalo mozzarella .... cheaper than any large special pie from American pizza chains. One would easily have to pay at least 33% more at large chains or those fancy name restaurants in nearby Tyson's mall. And this location was introduced to me by another food-enthusiast like me. So to review: Authenticity --- check Flavor --- good, check ..... would of loved more basil but it's ok Portion --- good, check Price --- awesome, check Company --- shared with fellow food enthusiast, check Total = 5-stars

Cesar salad: fresh greens and tasty. Dressing was light and not overwhelming. Margherita pizza: good size, a little on the watery-side but overall appetizing. Arancini: hard to get deep fried rice balls wrong. Enjoyed these as they were not too fried or oily.

We ordered the Beet Salad. This dish was excellent. The beets were tender texture and was well-balanced with a mix of greens and a sprinkling of nuts that added a nice crunch. Also, we chose the Beef Pepperoni Pizza. The pizza arrived piping hot. The tomato sauce was flavorful. The flavor profile of the pizza was outstanding; however, we did find it to be quite oily. While this didn’t detract from the taste, it’s worth noting for those who might prefer a lighter pizza. Despite the oiliness, the pizza’s overall taste was delicious The Arancini… these golden-fried rice balls were yummm. The exterior was perfectly crisp, giving way to a creamy and flavorful rice filling. What set these Arancini apart was the subtle hint of saffron. These were some of the best Arancini we’ve ever had, and they are an absolute must-try for anyone visiting Crust Pizzeria Napoletana.

Is it expensive? A bit. Yet their beef lovers or other pizzas are delicious. Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, high quality, as well as superior dough make this an impressive restaurant. I like that I can roll here casually or formally. Also that their Italian breads, especially the Focaccia is delicious. Rarely have I loved carbs so much. This is a place that has a big menu. Is it's large restaurant? Nope and I like the intimacy. All of the employees have been friendly. These staff go the extra mile too, with regards to an excellent experience. Each time I've been impressed. A good date spot. This has a little bit of everything, and all so far has been exemplary!

We tried this place as a family, as our local pizzeria closed down. In short we were left wanting. You order at the counter, pay, tip and sit down. The pizza was brought over and dropped silently- the staff was all pretty standoff-ish. The pizza was just ok. The middle of all our pizzas were soggy and sort of undercooked. The flavor was ok but nothing to write home about. When we asked for a box we were roughly gestured to grab one ourselves. I have no idea why they are asking for a tip- they don't do anything a normal waiter would? The place was quiet when we went, there's a few tables- no atmosphere.

Stopped by for dinner on a weekday. Ordered the spicy diavola pizza and it was great. Not spicy but the sauce was fresh and tangy. The capri sandwich was very good, more mozzarella than pesto but tasted very fresh. Service was quick and excellent, only waited around 10 minutes for our food. Plenty of seating and great lighting throughout.

BEST PIZZA Ok, ok, ok, admittedly I haven't had pizza in over a year...HOWEVER, this personal pizza was the perfect. It was perfectly done with the perfect sauce, cheese, crust, and service! The restaurant is a bit small but tbh I could see a little family get together going on here, it's very family friendly. Otherwise fun casual date night or friends outing. I loved the pizza, the crust had to be some of the best I've ever had. Super chewy around the edge but crisp in the middle and for a think crust I'm a little shocked at how perfectly done it was. The sauce was seasoned just right, and while like every other pizza I've ever had there was a bit of excess oil (thank you cheese) it didn't bother me and it wasn't dripping everywhere. 12/10 new pizza spot.

So fresh! The sauce is light and flavorful & the crust is cooked perfectly. Really, really great pizza -- and it's super convenient if you're looking for a quick bite to eat

I used to love their food, but the quality has drastically declined after the pandemic. Dry pizzas with skimpy, shamefull amount of toppings and the staff that either ignores you or gives off unfriendly vibes, discouraged me to even order takeout. I hope the managment will do something to improve the service, otherwise, neither discounts would help to bring back the customers.

Came in with SO over the holiday. We ordered pizza, lasagna and the recommended wine. One of the owners, Sam, was so amazingly gracious and kind. We spoke about the progression of this location and the new location in Reston. Honestly there are very few places where the owners are ON THE FLOOR EVERY DAY. I HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS TO SAM! The pizza, NOT THE CRUST, lol, took a back seat to the lasagna! OMG, it took me back to my time in Italy..light and flavorful. American lasagna can leave you feeling heavy, but not theirs. I could have eaten several more slices it was so light! The SO thought the lasagna was FANTASTIC. He used the word, clean. The wine that Sam recommended complimented the pizza and lasagna perfectly. We finished the meal off at home with complimentary cannolis. Let me first say that cannolis generally are flavorless, IMHO. But these cannolis, LEMON THROUGH AND THROUGH. I wish I had some limoncello gelato or a cappuccino but we ate them solo. Great way to close out 2022

Excellent thin pizza in nice clean quiet setting. Salads are just so so but I do recommend

Best pizza in the area this is real Italian pizza The brick oven helps gives the pizza a great flavor. Gnocchi was also good Staff were super friendly Will be back for sure

I've heard great things about Crust for a long time and finally decided to eat here. I wasn't disappointed! I went for lunch on a weekday and got the lunch special, one small pepperoni pizza and a drink. For only $11 total I feel this was a tremendous value, two people could actually split this pizza and have a nice lunch. Or one really hungry person could eat the whole thing, that also works too! Pizza was served quickly and came hot and crackling out of the oven. You can tell they carefully source their ingredients and really care about how the food tastes. The pizza was great, definitely as close as you could possibly get to Naples in the US. I would definitely return here to try other items on their menu.

Pizza better than any I've had since I was last in Naples! It might come as a surprise, but Phoenix, AZ has 1 or 2 amazing VPN pizza places, and while they're good, the experience I had today at Crust in Vienna was incomparable! It is pizza the way the good people of Naples invented it and intended it to be served forevermore! I ordered the mushroom and prosciutto. After a short wait, the pie was brought to my table. In addition to the mushrooms and prosciutto, it was topped with a scattering of arugula leaves and a balsamic drizzle. The prosciutto was perfectly wafer-thin, almost transparent, which is exactly the way it should be. This is an incredibly difficult thing to do, and the cooks at Crust captured it, bringing out the very essence of the meat. Then the mushrooms, probably just simple baby bellas, but likely wood roasted in the pizza oven and bursting with flavor. Anyone who says they don't like mushrooms would become a convert tasting these beauties! As good as the toppings were, nothing could beat the crust. The giant sacks of Caputo Tipo 00 stacked on a palette by the door are a great clue that this place upholds the standards of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Their crust managed to be both light and airy and dense and chewy, all at the same time, with a few slightly charred spots for extra flavor, just the way it's done outside the gates of Pompeii. Now the only question is, will I be able to squeeze in another visit while in town for work? Let's hope so.

This review is based after having eaten at multiple mom and pop pizza stores Pizza sauce: the best I ever tasted. It's slightly sweet Vegetables: very fresh Crust: edges are airy but everything else is paper thin. Being how the crust is very airy and the crust being super thin, they should add more dough to each pizza. $16 for a medium size pizza with paper thin crust that reminds me of pita bread? Not worth it to me anymore It's as good or slightly better than Amy's frozen Margherita pizza. And yes, Amy's crust is thick unlike this place

Be aware just got the worst $26 dollar pizza in my entire life. Crust was doughy and not done, toppings were skimpy and it's barely bigger than a dinner plate. Extremely disappointed. This pizza tastes like sadness. Avoid Crust Wood Fired Pizzeria on Old Courthouse like the plaque. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but with tip I'm out 33 for this garbage.

Outstanding! Delicious pizzas with just the right amount of chewiness in the crust, excellent cheeses and homemade sauce . I'm a big fan of the fried artichoke appetizer and pasta puttanesca. The pasta is al dente with generous capers, tomatoes and olives with just a touch of anchovy. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, the owner is gracious and friendly, and service. Is efficient. Lots of other salads to choose from and small plates as well. Very authentic.

We got three pizzas for takeout, two supremes and one bacon. It seemed pretty busy inside but we were disappointed as we had heard awesome reviews for this place. All of our pizzas were soggy and toppings were sliding right off. It seems that the dough was undercooked. Would like to give it another try as maybe they were just in a dinner rush.

Prior to finding Crust I was a total pizza snob and rarely would eat pizza. Since I've discovered Crust I eat here almost weekly and would go more often if I burned more calories to fit it in my diet. =) The ingredients are authentic and always taste incredibly fresh, from the perfect texture of the dough to the delicious marinara that I always request an extra side of to dip my crust. When I took my picky friend here and introduced her to the fried Roman artichokes she nearly fell off her chair in delight. It's crazy to me to see some reviews by class-less or taste-less people who clearly don't know real Italian deliciousness...this is not your average American basic pizza joint, this is gourmet wood-fired perfection! On top of the amazing food, the manager goes out of his way to engage with customers and clearly cares deeply about the quality of product and customer experience they deliver. I'm officially a Crust junkie and cannot get enough of this pizza (alla Crust is my fave). See you again very soon!

Pizza is absolutely delicious. Have never raten in but wont go anywhere else for carryout!

We had a family birthday party and enjoyed pizza, salad, drinks, and ice cream. Awesome food and awesome ambience.

Even the presentation was great. Although the artichokes might have been better if double dipped and fried a bit longer. And they definitely need a side sauce of some kind. I got them with the lemon vinaigrette salad dressing on the side, but a lemon hollandaise would have been better. The lasagna was fantastic. One of the best I've ever had to be honest. They cheese was melty with a homemade meat sauce. I ordered the kids pepperoni pizza with extra sauce. The crust was crunchy and delicious, the sauce was sweet and there was real basil. It was much larger than I had expected. I still eat the whole thing. My mom ordered their lunch special. She got a cheese pizza with meat sauce instead of tomato sauce. It was very good. It was smaller than the standard pizza, but still a decently sized pizza. Service was very quick. Food was piping hot and the place was cute. Perfect atmosphere for a lunch break. I'll be coming back a lot.

Great pizza for carry out just need to pop in the oven for 5 mins at 400 and it's as fresh as can be! It was ready quickly and would order again 10/10

Sadly, this is the second time I've ordered pizza and it's very very soggy. You have to roll it up in order to eat at. I ordered it extra crispy and thin, and it was one big soggy mess In addition, very skimpy on the basil had to ask for more .. The arugula salad looks beautiful, but very very bland dressing I was very disappointed

Went here to try out their Vera Pizza Napoletena designation. It did it justice. We had the melanzane (eggplant) and bufala (mozzarella) pizzas, rigatoni bolognese, calzone, panzanella salad, eggplant parmigiana, and eggplant for dessert. All were good. Will certainly try the other pizzas if given the opportunity.

So if you like this style of pizza, this place is for you. We came here because of the high reviews and the food did not disappoint. The pizza was what was exactly expected and wanted. The appetizer was served very differently, but very good at that. Can not wait to return!

Yum! An authentic Neapolitan pizza joint in Tysons! We ordered the Italia and Margherita pizzas. The crust was perfectly crispy and chewy. The cheese was deliciously stretchy. Flavors - authentic. Only complaint I can think of is the basil on the Margherita. Wish they either added more or used bigger leaves. Easily one of my top choices for pizza within the DMV, the pizza here is fantastic. Would recommend!

I was craving pizza and ordered Crust for delivery. I was worried the pizza wouldn't hold up in the delivery time, but it was still crispy and delicious when it arrived. I also ordered the crispy artichokes which were delicious. The only thing that missed 5 stars for me was that the pizza was pricey. That being said, I will order it again!

Delivery review only. Where have I been? How am I JUST learning about this delightful pizza place?!?! We order from Crust quite often and I am delighted to have found a real Neapolitan pizza place in NOVA! Their arancini and pizza Bolognese are my go-tos but their Margherita and Diavola are incredible as well. Bonus Mention = the Amalfi sandwich. *chef kiss Perfecto!

Picked up from Crust last weekend and it was amazing! We had the tried out two of their pizzas: Pepperoni and the Diavola. Huge fan of the Diavola - it had a nice kick with the spicy red sauce and spicy salami. Just enough heat to make things interesting, without taking away from the classic Margherita flavor. The crust was crispy, and charred which added a smokiness to the overall flavor. Not a pizza expert but I thought the pepperoni tasted better than your average takeout. Great local place that I'd definitely come back to. Amazing flavor and pickup was quick and easy. Note: Pizzas are a tad bit on the pricey side, averaging $13-15 for a small pizza (could probably get away sharing one if you're not very hungry), and we found that it the pizzas could be a little oily.

Undersized and Overrated. Not any better than the normal pizza chains. The size which appears to be a secret on the website is really just a personal pizza. I should have realized the hype was just that. AND I don,t appreciate the credit card pay terminal ALMOST Forcing you to tip Even with Carryout. This money grab is out of control.

Bland almost flavorless, soggy crust, small. Sauce needs help. On the other hand, the restaurant itself is nice. Will not repeat.

We have gotten carry-out a couple of times from here and have been impressed so far! I must say that my maternal Pop is from Naples & hubs is from Southern France, bordering Italy, so we were very excited to get some pies from here! Love that they do everything authentic Neapolitan. Both my son and husband are gaga over their pizzas... for me, they had me at Marinara! A lot of people have never heard of it nor would they order a pizza that does not have cheese on top but it's a fabulous, traditional Italian pizza that is simple and it is my FAV & hard to find!!! THANK YOU, CRUST!!! We got carryout to appease our C19 safety & current homebodyness status. Tried a few different pies: white pizza, marinara, spicy sopressata & pepperoni for the teenager, we got salad too and everything was flavorful and tasty! The wood fire oven makes my heart so happy! We will be back!

The best pizza in the area. Ingredients all sourced from Italy. Can't be beat. Highly recommend

Great margarita pizza and calzone. Very friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back.

Outstanding pizza, most authentic Neapolitan pizza in the dmv. Always find local Italian expats eating there, and soccer on the TV too!

We were craving pizza and I saw this in some search results near me. I heard about this place a while back and I knew it was a Neopolitan pizza so I was super curious. There is limited parking in the front but a good amount in the back. Their online ordering site is a little glitchy but I got through it eventually. Interior is pretty spacious, lots of seating but wasn't too busy luckily. Staff was friendly and asked if I ordered online as soon as I got to the counter. We got the Bacon Q. Formagi and Bufala Pizzas. It was ready pretty quickly, maybe 10 minutes quicker than expected. The pizzas traveled well over 30 minutes. The Formagi had a decent amount of cheese and bacon, not enough to weight down the crust and that was the best part, the crust. Perfectly thin, crisp, chewy and had a good char. The Bufala had a more classic pizza taste and again perfect crust. I do wish it was cut into 6 or 8 pieces because 4 makes big slices but not a big deal. We liked it so much we made an order for the next day. Our second order we got the Alla Crust (half calzone, half margherita) and Bolognese pizzas along with a focaccia bread. I was a little disappointed at the focaccia bread because it was just the pizza crust but I still loved it. The Bolognese pizza was my favorite of the four, good amount of meat sauce and it wasn't thin. My girlfriend loved the Alla Crust and like the Bufala, lasted her two meals. Definitely one of my top pizza places in the area. Perfect crust and just enough cheese and toppings is all I could ask for. Coming back next time I want pizza.

Great Pizza! I love the taste of the crust! All the other ingredients complement a great base. Margherita, and prosciutto with mushrooms are very tasty!

After a couple months of watching & drooling over YouTube videos of authentic neopolitan pizza making in Naples, Italy, yelp led us here & it was even better than we could have ever imagined. Space is very spacious, clean & casual yet still very nice - perfect for large families, parties & those with kids. We ordered a Margherita & a Quattro formaggi. Both were excellent but the margherita was our fav (we had to order another one!) The crust was wonderfully chewy with crisp, slightly charred outer edges. The tomato sauce was quality - more tart & fresh. Basil is very fragrant. We also got a caprese salad which was so fresh! We absolutely loved it & will be ordering one every time for sure. We've had better tiramisu but it was still delicious. This place isn't your average pizza place. If you're looking for greasy, cheesy pizza, this isn't it. This is neopolitan style pizza ‐ not greasy, thin, chewy crust, delicious slight char flavor from the wood fired grill, very fresh ingredients. We LOVED it & most importantly, our picky 2 year old did too. We will be back weekly from now on & can't wait to try the other offerings!

The vegetarian pizza was the worst I have ever had. It was dry with no sauce, no taste, bland vegetables and crust. Tiramisu was also not great, so not recommend either.

The pizzas are sooo delicious! All pizzas are Thin crust, juicy and chewy! Highly recommended!

Love their thin crust margherita pizza! It's so good, light, and not greasy like so many other places. Parking lot is right off of Old Courthouse and can get a little dicey getting in and out. Pizza's definitely not cheap, but well worth it!

Second time in here, but both times picking up pizza to go (honestly better if you can stay to enjoy the fresh pizza). It's quite interesting because the two times I've been here, it's empty. Maybe it's the location? I'm not really sure, but people are missing out. The place: spacious, good for big groups (it looks like). The food: so far I love their pizza! It's not your Papa John's/Domino's pizza... in all aspects (ahem $15 ave for a 12" pie). So it's a splurge, but you learn to appreciate the finer things in life, right?! Hah. Anyway, it's got the official NAPOLETANA stamp on it and I hope they are here to stay. The staff: friendly, both times I've been.

I've heard amazing things about Crust so I was excited to try! I went as a big group and got to try a variety of pizzas like Bufala, vegetarian, margherita, and bolognese. I also got the spinaci salad. Among the pizza, I enjoyed the Bufala the most but none of the pizzas had memorable flavor. Everything was pretty bland. However, their was a good amount of topping and their crust really is really good. The crust was the perfect of doughy and crispy without being too burnt. The spinaci salad was quite disappointing in that dressing also lacked flavor and it was served on a flat dish, which made eating the salad a bit difficult.

I lived in Italy for years, this place exceeded my expectation every time, and I highly recommend it, we had pizza and pasta dishes and they were all good, food quality is consistence and staff are very friendly.

Good but not great. Extremely expensive. Each pizza is single person sized and costs about $20. I spent $100 for 4 pizzas for my family. At that cost, this better taste like Italy - which it does not! We got delivery so I can't comment on ambiance or service. Overall, not worth the cost. Go to Gregoria's instead. Much better pizza and much less expensive.

Dropped in for a quick lunch. Asked the owner what I should order. He suggested calzone. He was right. Tons of cheese. Crust cooked perfectly. Excited to come back to try their pizza soon.

Have been looking for NY style pizza with great crust, tasty tomato sauce and various topping choices. Friend recommended it to me and it didn't disappoint

My husband and I are huge Neapolitan pizza fans since our vacation to the Amalfi coast a few years ago. We've been frequenting Pupatella but decided to give Crust a try for some variety and are so glad we did! I ordered the prosciutto and mushroom pizza and it exceeded my expectations. The portion size of prosciutto was generous and the high quality basalmic drizzle really added something special. My husband got the pizza alla crust. He wasn't super impressed with the margherita, but found the calzone remarkable. We both agreed that the Italian meats have particularly good flavor (prosciutto on my pizza, salami in his calzone). We look forward to trying out more of the menu!

Easily the best pizza I've had in the DMV. It had just the right amount of firmness, the right amount of charring, and the cheese/sauce ratio was perfect. I ordered melanzane, and the eggplant was fresh and fried without being greasy. The serving size was generous, and the pizza was really more than i should've eaten in one sitting (whoops). Frankly, the caprese salad was the best I've ever had in a restaurant, with extremely fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, and the perfect balance of oil and balsamic. I'll definitely be returning.

I was craving for some pizza for Valentines day, and found this spot in Vienna, VA. They prepare their pizza in a wood fire oven, which is something I was looking forward too. They keep their menu very simple which I like. I decided to get the Margarita Pizza and my girlfriend decided to get the Diavola Pizza. We waited around 5 min for the pizza. The pizza is prepared in their wood fire oven which gives it a very authentic taste compared to a electric/gas oven pizza. As you can see, per request, we asked for heart shaped pizzas. The pizzas was excellently prepared. The crust was perfect; the pizza had a smoky flavor, and was crispy. This type of pizza is also a healthier option compared toDominos pizza or Papa Johns. They only use fresh ingredients, and the one thing I like about Neapolitan pizza is they use more Tomato sauce then cheese. The restaurant is currently open for dine in. I did order another Pizza before leaving because the Pizza was so good. I will be back for sure.
