    Prosciutto & Fig up top, Classic Roni down bottom.
    Christine N.

    Pretty awesome pizza! The prosciutto and fig had lots of arugula and we got some hot honey on the side to drizzle on top. Crust was thin crisp and tasty. Fabulous. The pepperoni looks over baked but was delish. Our daughters loved it. Service was super friendly and attentive. Knowledgeable about the menu and flexible bringing small sides of Parmesan, hot honey, or pepper flakes. Now the ambiance...lovely tin ceiling in main bar area. Nice bar. Then...the chip board/plywood paneling with slats in the side dining room. Like sitting in a lobster trap. Perhaps striving for hip, def different, maybe budget constraints? Really whatever, 'cause the pizza great. So who cares?

    Greeted by a super staff every time I come here. Welcoming and happy to see us. The pizzas are unique and delicious. I usually sit next to fire to watch them all cook. Drinks here are on another level! Soooo creative and outstanding.

    Love this place! HUGE bourbon/whiskey selection. Great staff/bartenders. Great atmosphere, especially at the bar. Pizza and other food is great! Now they don't always have the rarest bottles but when they do they offer very fair pricing per pour which keeps me coming back.

    Dill, Bacon and Ranch

    When you're a pizza place named Krust, you better nail the crust. Krust did that, and more, on my first visit for takeout. We ordered the "Sausage" from the Red Menu, and the Dill, Bacon and Ranch from the White Pizza Menu. I watched both pizzas being cooked in the beautiful, wood-fired pizza oven. I saw the stack of wood, the flames and the pizza being skillfully moved to the different parts of the oven to ensure optimal cooking. I saw the juices pop. The crust bubbles and good char form. The result -- more of a Neapolitan style good chewy crust with great char flavor. The wood makes it . . . you know the rest. I loved the crust on both pizzas. I also loved the Sausage Pizza. In addition to sausage crumbles, the pizza had red peppers, onions, fresh ricotta and a spicy sauce that reminded me of Arrabbiata. Everything about this worked for me -- especially the sauce. It's not everybody else's sauce, which I respect. I often order an oddball pizza like the Dill Bacon Ranch. Thin dill pickle slices. Crumbled bacon. A Ranch Sauce that I believe had a dill component. The pizza was sooo close to great. It was just too salty. If either the pickle or the ranch sauce had been sweeter, I think the flavors would have balanced. Again, the crust was great though. We also ordered the Buffalo wings, which seemed to be baked in the pizza oven, and an Arugula Salad with pickled red onions, parmesan, candied nuts and a lemon Vinaigrette. Liked the salad. Not my favorite wing preparation. I was a big fan of the vibe. I enjoyed a Fiddlehead Imperial IPA while I waited for my pizzas, which were done earlier than the Ordering App predicted. That gave me the chance to look around. Great whiskey and craft beer options. The exposed oven was cool. The outside wood for the restaurant was nicer than you would expect. Wood was also effectively featured inside. Krust is one of the nicer pizza places you will visit. It feels almost like a nice sushi restaurant. In a small state flush with great pizza options, I'll come back to Krust. 4.5 Stars

    Loving the vibe of krust. Always a cozy spot for friends to meet and have a night out on Main Street. Great services, great food, great drinks, and never gets old! Wish there was a location closer to Simsbury in our area! Pictures say it all. Huge fan of the pepperoni pies and hanger steak special appetizers.

    Krust was on my list for a while but I am rarely in Middletown, so imagine my surprise when I came here for a warehouse party with no food, was hungry and needed to eat. Krust is great for crowds and not too loud so you can carry a conversation but the gem of this place is well, the crust. There's just something about a city's water that makes its baked goods taste amazing, New York, SF...Middletown? Yes, this crust was pillowy and had a satisfying bite that perfectly melded with the vegan cheese we ordered, not burnt to a crisp (looking at you Modern). Though cheesy breads with dairy were ordered, our non vegan companions felt the vegan cheese was better. The white pizza was described as the cheesy bread but with basil, so take that for what it's worth. The drink selection is vast, though the names are cutesy, they were not too watered down. I wish I could have ordered a bourbon flight but there's always next time. The staff is lovely and attentive to allergy requests (thanks Marissa). They have single occupancy restrooms that have graffiti on the walls in that old college town/dive bar way. I highly recommend this place.

    Our first visit to Krust and it was great! I love the wooden booths - very unique. Great Moscow mule, just wish it was a copper mug! We had 4 pizzas for 4 people and we all left with some slices to go home and the bill was very reasonable so that was great! Great service too! -Cassie AKA @eatwithcmg on Instagram

    Honeymoon on gluten free crust

    We came here on a Wednesday and it was way less busy. We were able to get seated immediately, at any table of our choosing, and it was a nice quiet atmosphere on a Wednesday dinner. Perfect for our date night. I tried the meatball gluten free pie this time and we shared a house salad which was a great idea, the salad we'd delicious.

    Great selection of bourbon drinks, good pizzas and nice ambience. My first time at Krust and I enjoyed it. Lite crust wood fire pizzas. The options of red and white pizzas are limited, which is good in a way for you to make your choices. The drinks were the highlights for me and I definitely will try them again.

    Located at the end of a busy street is Krust. From the outside, you wouldn't think much. When you walk in, there is a very rustic, the construction workers didn't finish vibe, but in all the best ways. Visited on a Wednesday night and it was not terrible busy around 6pm. The food was delicious, drinks were good too. Our waitress was wonderful and the bartender would come and refill our water As well. Service was a 10/10. Food was a 9/10. And the drink was a 8/10. My only issue was the fries on my animal pizza needed to be cooked longer. Definitely check this place out!

    Went for happy hour and sat in bar. They have a limited food menu but was still good.

    Decent place for pizza in Middletown, bring a group and split a few pies! I'd say reasonably you could get 2 pizzas for every 3 people in your group. We got a classic 'roni, sausage, plain white, and burger pie. It was more than enough for our group of 5. We also split an artichoke dip, which was small but good. The plain white was actually a crowd pleaser, the sauce was good and balanced out the rest of the pie well. The crust gets a little soggy, and you'd probably need to use utensils if you get a pizza with a bunch of toppings. There's two rooms you can sit in, the one with the bar area and another one to the right that has more seating, is a bit brighter, and is quieter. We opted for the quieter room, which was nice because the music wasn't too loud there.

    Stopped in for a quick bite and a beer on our way out of town. Beer menu is definitely what…read morebrought us there but the food was surprisingly good as well. The atmosphere is straight up bar but we still felt comfortable with our teens with us. It would have been fine with smaller children too as the restaurant seating is away from the bar area. The beer menu was fairly comprehensive. They have their own brews and have many local CT craft brews on draft. They also have some cans and bottles if that's your thing. I didn't notice any crazy rare lambics but that's not what we were looking for. We had a few hazies and few stouts and everything was delightful. Our server Anna was a seasoned pro. She knew the menu and exactly when to come by our table to check in. We had some pulled pork nachos and there was plenty to go around. The dry rub on the wings was delicious and the wings themselves were cooked right. Overall, if you find yourself in Middletown looking for a nice beer and some decent food, this is a great choice!

    Decent beer selection, however the outdoor area ambiance is what sells this place. The firepits &…read moreseating in the sand is such a vibe. Great for the warmer months when joined by a couple of friends. I am giving this a 3 stars because the last time me & my partner visited we did not get the same welcoming attitudes which we experienced in our previous visits. Another weird vibe I got was when I was ordering another round of beers for both my boyfriend and I -- my order was taken last despite standing/waiting at the bar before other patron's. I was the only woman standing there so I am not sure if this had something to do with it.... Definitely a college bar-type atmosphere. I will say the crispy brussels & spinach and artichoke dip were tasty and cooked very well.
