We were planning on stopping by a friend of ours house for a small party this evening, but they were feeling under the weather so we switched things up and went to Crispy's Jax over in Springfield. We've been to Crispy's a handful of times over the past few months and tried a few things on the menu. Nearly every time we've been there we've seen pizzas go by us and thought "dang, we really need to try their pizza some time". So when we decided to go there tonight I figured we'd finally do that. In addition to that, my wife informed me that she was going to have Garlic Knots no matter what. So yes, we ordered Garlic Knots to start. I don't know why, but I was expecting them to be a bit tough. I guess maybe I've just had them at other places and they're usually thick / tough, so that's what I figured these would be. They weren't. They were really soft, in the best way. Not doughy or under cooked, just soft, warm and very good! We debated what pizza to go with and eventually settled on The Klutho, which is more or less their meat lovers pizza. We also did the garlic butter crust at the suggestion of our server. I'll start by saying thank you to our server for that suggestion because that was some good crust. I'm happy to report that we both thought the pizza tasted as good as we both thought it looked every time it went by us before. Let me put it this way: if the pizza in my photo looks great to you, yes, it's that good. Like I said, we've been to Crispy's a few times over the past couple of months and we just like the place a lot. We didn't plan to go there tonight when the day began but I'm glad it worked out that we ended up there. Now we've got about half a pizza to split for work-from-home lunches over the next few days.

It had been a while since I was in Crispy''s and boy has it gone down hill. The vibe was 'frat house local community college' at best. The bartender was foul-mouthed with a minor present, dropping f-bombs left and right. If I was the parent in that situation, I would gathered my things and left immediately. The portions were slim for the price and below average in product quality. They made it easy by eliminating themselves from my restaurant outing choices in the future. read more

Great spot in Springfield for drinks, pizza and more. The build your own calzone was massive. I had a salad to accompany my meal and that was also huge, could share it between 2-4 people. Service was good and food came out quickly since it wasn't super busy. The restaurant is easy to find and parking is available on street. Good visit, with no issues. A nice place for a quick bite and good vibes. read more

Been here before on St. Patrick's day. This time I had the Italian Salad it was amazing and large. I made for a great lunch the next day. I asked for a Blue Moon and Oktoberfest, didn't like changes to a Dukes. Isaac said he had not the ability to take off my check and that the blue moon was less the cost. I was charged for beer that I did not like nor drink.. Undern new ownweship dont like the vibe read more

Whata time with Jacksonville Eats at Crispys with an added bonues of 80s trivia night. I had a blast I was alone but the buz at Crispys was infectious. I will be back with the wifey. What a time I had $3 drafts and $1 wings. You cant go wrong. All in all I had a good time. I knew 8 of the king of Pop songs that were number 1 in the 1980s. I had the dry rub lemon pepper wings. Alittle salty for my taste but hot and finger licking good. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you Jacksonville Eats and Crispys for hosting. read more

Food was amazing!!!!! I had the pepperoni pizza ( Pearl Street) and my husband had the sweet Thai chili wings. I wanted to take a picture but as soon as the food came out it was GONE!! . The service and great and the atmosphere was very laid back on a Sunday. Highly recommend read more

2.5 stars. Let's be clear - this is 1-star level food. The pizza is floppy, with a thick gummy cheese layer that dwarfs the crust and overly salty sauce. The slices I got were noticeably uneven and different sizes, and looked like they had been sliced by Stevie Wonder. The Caesar salad is more dressing than salad, with croutons from the bag. I recall coming here years ago and the food being above average, but definitely not the case now. Some points are made back through an affordable lunch special (9.75 for two slices and a drink) and very friendly service. But this was a bummer. read more

this is absolutely the worst pizza I have ever had in my life First, the crust was so thin that you couldn't even pick it up the just flopped and all the toppings right off And I am not exaggerating it was so fluffy and so soggy that it was just not edible together You had to eat the toppings and then the crust if you wanted it And it taste horrible not only that there was so much damn grease in the pizza that I had to take some Pepto-Bismol I will absolutely give great reviews and I hardly ever try to leave a bad review But how can you open a pizza restaurant if your toppings won't even stay on the crust because it's floppy and thin Never will I ever eat here again? read more

The place is under new management and they've added some great new food items (mostly salads, calzones and sandwiches) to the menu. Highly recommend the Ahi Tuna salad and the garlic knots! Great place to go with a family to hang out and play games or a chill date night. Lots of TVs for watching sports. read more

I am giving Crispy's 3 stars bc of the staff and pizza alone. The Laura was amazing!! Meatballs were def not fresh and the "sauce" is straight up tomato paste. Caprese was good, but not much can go wrong there. We went at an odd time and the place was pretty empty with plenty of seating options. There's no fluff here and very casual, perfect for a quick drink. Love that they do HH on the weekends. The staff were very friendly and fun. Not certain if the pizza was enough for me to come back, but we shall see. read more

Upon entering, I immediately got the neighborhood sports bar vibe, similar to Cheers. My sister and I walked around the tables for a bit to see where we'd like to sit and ultimately decided to sit at the bar. Unfortunately, I had to switch out my barstool for another because the bottom was falling apart. Additionally, the counter at the bar was quite sticky. We asked the bartender to clean it, which he did, but afterwards, it was still sticky. When I asked if I could borrow the washcloth, he offered to wipe it down again. We ordered drinks and asked about happy hour specials. Ultimately, we decided on a pizza with fig, prosciutto, and arugula. I also ordered the Jose wings, which were absolutely delicious, while my sister ordered another dish, but I can't recall what it was at this time. In conclusion, I'd likely return again to try a different type of pizza and those Jose wings. However, I believe that the barstools need to be replaced; otherwise, everything was fine. read more

Stumbled onto Crispy's by accident and loved the look and layout of the place. We came back the next day for some food and drinks midday on a Saturday. Place was quiet when we arrived, but definitely ramping up as we left. You can see this is a well established place for both locals and new comers. All the food we had came out well, especially the Laura Pizza. Drinks were on point and service was timely. Only tip I would suggest, keep the music going on a good volume level to keep the atmosphere. Otherwise, well done!! read more

I'm so sad to be leaving this review that I put it off for days, but I think management needs to be aware of how their changes are landing with customers. First of all, if you haven't been to Crispy's before, I still recommend it. It's still a pretty good pizza at a good price, I'm just sad because it's not as good as before and I'm very picky, so that's a major blow to my local restaurant options. The service and atmosphere are also fantastic as always. Crispy's has been my favorite pizza place in town pretty much since it opened, and when it first became Crispy's 2.0, I actually thought the pizza was even better than before. However, at our most recent visit, it was seriously less good than before. The option for mascarpone to be added to the pizza was gone, and the amount of herbs added to the pizza was clearly meant to disguise that the rest of it was no longer as flavorful as before. This seems to be an effort to cut costs because the ingredients used more than before were more affordable (very heavy mozzarella and ricotta rather than a balanced variety of cheeses and white sauce, mainly). Also, the box was smaller than before and didn't fit the pizza in it properly, so it had to be stacked on top of itself in a manner that kind of ruins it. I want the management to know that if it's financially impossible to continue providing the same pizza as before at the same price point, which is understandable, they should just make it more expensive instead of compromising on quality! I'd gladly pay a little more for the best pizza in town instead of paying a low price for a mediocre pizza. The current price is very low and while that's very nice, I don't think anyone would fault the restaurant for increasing it to a normal pizza restaurant price if that enables a return to the previous high quality. read more

Great experience at Crispy's in Springfield this weekend. Beautiful day and we sat outside. Inside features brick walls, particle flooring and a very long wooden bar with a great selection of beer and specialty drinks. There are two levels inside. The game was playing, and there were multiple TVs. Great place to catch a game. The kitchen is also visible and was a really nice touch. Local art is feature on the walls. Really nice touch. I also love the fact that it is pet friendly. I had the steak quesadilla. Cheesy, right amount of vegetables, right amount of spice. Really good. The salsa was thick and a nice accompaniment. They did not have Mac and cheese available so I'll have to go back for that. My wife had the Chicken Pesto sandwich which was a home run. Crispy chicken, flavored perfectly. The perfect ciabatta bread and the pesto was a great topping. Service was great. A great casual place for some fantastic, elevated pub grub. Highly recommend you try this place. read more

I love getting the Strawberry Chicken Salad anytime that I come here. They used to have really good taco's that were on the appetizer menu as well. Bruchetta was a nice replacement though. My guy really liked his Italian sandwich as well. It's a bit pricey but delicious. read more

I love the pizza! One of the best "NY Style" Jax has to offer. The ambiance is fun and lively. We just discovered this place a few weeks ago and we've already been there several times. read more

Our first time here, we were greeted immediately and we asked about outside seating. Taking advantage of the great weather to eat outside, unfortunately was not the best idea when someone from inside came out to smoke and sit at the table next to us. We saw the ashtrays when we sat outside but it's been so long since we encountered smoking at a restaurant that it was still surprising. Food was good, I enjoyed my chicken pesto sandwich but would have liked the chicken sliced a bit thinner for a sandwich. I enjoyed the cucumber and tomato with balsamic drizzle, which was a great alternative side option to a typical side salad. My husband enjoyed his quesadilla too. There were lots of inside seating options including tables and at the bar so we will opt for inside seating next time to avoid the cigarette smoke. read more

What a great place in the heart of Springfield! A visit to that area is not complete without a stop at Crispy's! If you like thin crust pizza with very fresh ingredients, this is your spot. They have a good variety of sandy& appetizers as well. My go-to is their BLT on ciabatta bread - delicious! They also have entertainment (saw The Katz Downstairs for the first time there) and a good selection of craft beers - cocktails too. read more

We decided to try Crispy's a week ago. We were able to find street parking close by. The host sat us immediately and our server was quick to come by. After we ordered we were chatting and looking around at the artwork. My bf looked up and saw how disgusting the vents and ceiling were. We should have canceled and walk out then but we gave it a try. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich with the cucumber and tomato salad. There was barely any pesto which is crappy since it's the first ingredient in the name. The chicken tasted ok and the bread was ok. The cucumber and tomato salad was good. My bf didn't want a large pizza to himself so the server suggested getting the type he wanted on a flatbread. It was so tiny when it came out and it had a weird taste. The only good food we had were the garlic knots. We just paid and left and had another dinner elsewhere. read more

Great experience, Food, We started with the Hummus Plater, one word Delicious. The Calzone is enough for two, the BLT "off the chain" chicken wings perfectly cooked, Service, James B Excellent. Ambiance, not too loud we were able to converse without shouting like some other places with too loud music. Put this place on you bucket list to visit often. read more

Crispy's is a great lunch or happy hour spot located right in Springfield! I went on a Wednesday and had lunch at the bar with amazing service. I ordered the pizza special which comes with two pizzas, a salad and a drink. I believe these two slices were the Hubbard and the Main Street pizza for $11.75 and they were delicious. Great staff and great environment. Also family friendly. read more

Decided to give Crispy's a try before heading to an Icemen game at the arena. Perfect location-took us under 15 min to get to the arena. My son and I split a pizza-half Springfield/half sausage. Very delicious, took awhile to come out, but waitress was very attentive and the pizza as very good! Hubby got the chicken pesto and friend got the meatball sandwich, both said they were very good. As others have mentioned the acoustics are very loud. Overall, great service, cold beer, delicious food, and easy drive to the stadium/arena-we will be back! read more

As promised, I returned for my 4th visit. And equally please with the service and the food. This time we went for the Laura pizza - delightful departure from your typical marinara based style. With ample thin slices of prosciutto over a white, Goat cheese spread, this special was highlighted with tasty figs. marscapone and mozzarella cheese and a wonderful Roasrwd Garlic sauce. Our server, Jackie, was pleasant, welcoming and knew her menu. Always a treat, I highly recommend Crispy's as a not-so-hidden gem in Jacksonville! read more

Crispy is now a pin mark in the Springfield neighborhood. It's restore and restoration of years ago was one of the best things to happen here. It was a springboard for the areas Revival. Crispys is more than a pizza joint. It's a event center, a cocktail lounge and the menu has several great options. Tonight I ordered the meatballs and paired it with a caesar salad it was delicious and downed in seconds. My friends let me taste their dessert..a Tiramisu Martini...yum..a definite good choice. Grab a table inside or eat out front and enjoy the Main street vibe either is a great place to try their great pizza and a local brew. Be back soon Crispys as I find myself in this neighborhood more often than I used too.... read more

Pizza on a random Monday. Yes please. I really enjoyed Crispy's Springfield Gallery. The pizzas and salads are really flavorful. I also love the location and building this establishment is in. It gives me a great joy to see older building being repurposed. The inside of the building looks so amazing with the exposed brick and an extensive bar. There is even a place for seating in an upstairs area. Great for social distancing. The place has several TVs available which is great if you want to have a bite and maybe watch a game. The service was quick which is always a plus. I can see myself coming here again in the near future. read more
