Visiting from out of state and was just looking for some pizza. Both pizza and salads were phenomenal we came back the next day for more. Staff friendly great service.

The folks who work here are pleasant, kind and efficient. Unfortunately, the pizza was less than amazing. Not bad, just not something I see myself wanting again. Of course, I didn’t try all the options, so perhaps there’s something that would hit it out if the park. My kids did not like how ‘runny’ the cheese was on their pizza. Also, being kids, they didn’t like the thicker pizza crust and the fact that it’s served cut in squares. But that’s just kids for ya. Perfectly fine place for a quick slice of pizza that will fill you up, but if taste is what you’re looking for, perhaps look a little more.

We order from Uppercrust frequently for delivery and have always had great food and friendly delivery drivers. Today was the first time we have come in for dine in and we don’t plan to again.

I’ve been here so many times, last time was a few years ago so I can’t speak to quality now, but would come here with friends and family growing up because we loved the Sicilian style pizza, and it was casual and comfortable. This pizza is probably the reason I prefer a thick crust today. I appreciate the by the slice option too (IMO every pizza place should have that) and definitely did when I was looking for good lunch for a few bucks.

The pizza was bland, dry. We haven’t eaten here in months and it was a disappointment. The staff are great.

I ordered a Hawaiian pizza and it had a funky taste and smell to it. I didn’t think much of it until I got sick. My total was $51.45 for two pizzas. I was looking forward to trying this place but I no longer think it’s worth the money or the sickness.

Pepperoni Pizza was just ok, salad was average and the muffuletta was dry and lacked flavor.
