World Cup Final wood-fired everything. Stopped by The Upper Crust in Gettysburg to catch the biggest match of the year, and this place came ready to play. Big open space, cold craft beers, free pool, Skee-Ball, basketball games, and enough TVs to make sure you didn't miss a single goal. The wood-fired brisket pizza? It was... okay. Solid effort, but it wasn't lifting any trophies today. The wood-fired wings with buffalo sauce on the side were a better play. The calamari was decent, but the heavy wood-fired flavor tackled it a little too hard. Now the real MVP? The Syrian gyro. Absolute world-class performance. If there were VAR reviews for sandwiches, this one would've been confirmed a goal every time. Final score: Syrian Gyro: Champion Wings: Strong second Pizza: Needs a halftime speech Calamari: Fouled by too much smoke. Sometimes the best player on the field isn't the one you expected... and sometimes it's wrapped in pita. read more

Unfortunately, the food was below average. The pizza was bland, lacked flavor, and was served extremely cold. We sent it back to be reheated, but it was returned still cold. The wings were acceptable, but overall they were also just average and nothing memorable. If you're looking for a casual spot in a college-town atmosphere, it may be fine. However, for anyone expecting great food, this place falls short. Overall, it wasn't an experience I'd recommend, and it's certainly nothing to write home about. And cherry on the cake, not service animal friendly (ADA CERTIFIED animal). read more

The Upper Crust - Main restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Stopped in here a couple weeks ago when we were in Gettysburg for the weekend. This was the second time we ate here and I have to give this a mixed review. The first time we came here, last fall, we ordered pizzas for the table (there were four of us) and we all loved the food. Pizzas were bar pies and were pretty good (coming from a pizza snob). The drinks were a little pricey, but the service was great and we love the atmosphere. This most recent trip was not as good. We both wanted to try the bbq this time and were seated on the 'other' side. We were very confused as there was no BBQ on the menu, only to realize when the waitress came over that we didn't get the BBQ menus. We placed an order for drinks and looked over the menu, eventually we both chose a one meat combo - wifey ordered the brisket, Mac and cheese and cornbread and I had the ribs with baked beans and cole slaw. We also ordered an appetizer of hushpuppies. The sides were all fantastic...the Mac n cheese needed a touch of salt, but otherwise they were great. The hushpuppies were missing something-not sure if they put the sweet and spicy chipotle drizzle on them. Neither of us loved the meats. The brisket was tasty, but very fatty (yes, I know brisket has a fat layer, but this was very fatty). My ribs were a bit tough...again, they tasted fine, but they needed a little more time on the smoker (I'm not a fall off the bone guy, but the bite on these were a bit too much). Additionally, it too WAY too long for us to get our drinks...arrived about three minutes before our food was served. I'm sure this was a one-off, bad day, because I've heard great things about the bbq here. We're gonna stop in again next time, hopefully to bump up the rating. read more

Stopped by The Upper Crust in Gettysburg recently for lunch and had a great experience overall. The open-air seating was a really nice touch--perfect for a relaxed afternoon. We both ordered pizzas, and while the center of the crust was a little on the softer side, the overall flavor was excellent. You can tell they put a lot of care into the ingredients and combinations. All in all, a solid spot with great atmosphere and very good pizza. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Gettysburg. read more

Stopped here after doing some shopping. Food and atmosphere were both great. Good selection of beer, and cocktails are always amazing.

Visited family in PA and we went to the upper crust. It was my second time in years and well it has definitely changed. We were a party of 5 and we seated ourselves. It took a while for a server to come tend to us. Even though our server was friendly, she wasn't as attentive and the place wasn't busy. The restaurant is spacious so it's good for a big group, they also have a couple tables of pool which is fun but it does get very warm during summer. Their arcade area is FREE so that's a plus. The food was okay. The fish and chips were flavorless, the Korean bbq wings tasted good but were soggy, the chicken burger and the brisket sandwich were great. The pizza was okay, for appetizers we ordered the hush puppies and the Brussels sprouts. read more

Come for the free arcade games, and while you're here, grab some food and drinks! This place is massive--easily able to seat groups of 100+--so our family of 21 fit with no problem. The highlight for us was that the kids could enjoy the free arcade games and burn off some energy after a full day of historic tours. They had basketball shooting games (though many balls were a bit deflated), two large shuffleboards, a pool table, four working skee-ball lanes (and one out of order), plus a semi-working air hockey table that just needed a puck. Our server was friendly, but service was very slow. It took 15 minutes just to get our drink orders, and we waited 45 minutes before the first item of our food arrived. We know large groups take more time, but simple steps--like giving everyone water right away--would make a big difference. As for the food, opinions were mixed. Some in our group enjoyed the pizza. I found the "Light & Bright" salad to be exactly as described, and I loved the pine nuts and blueberries. The meat pizza was only slightly better than a $2 Sam's Club slice, while the pepperoni pizza was much better, with tasty dollops of ricotta. Overall, it's a fun spot for groups, especially with kids--just don't be in a hurry. read more

Let's start with the good. I love the vibe of this place. The open kitchen with the three big beautiful brick ovens and piles of wood everywhere are unique to the area. Great place to get together with friends and enjoy some pizza, beer and games. The downside: the pizza is inconsistent. We ordered two Margherita pizzas that came out completely different. One was very crispy and charred with not much cheese. The other was floppy with more cheese on it. The flavor of both was just ok. One was a little heavy on the char, the other was heavy on the salt. We definitely expect more out of a place that makes pizza the centerpiece of the menu. read more

My daughter and I like to find non pizza chain restaurants and this #68. We ordered drinks, the pepperoni, mozzerella cheese sticks and these mac n cheese stuff balls. The appetizers were good. The pizza (the pepperoni) was just average. The sauce was not spicy barely any taste and the cheese seemed off. The waitress seemed distracted and not really interested until we asked for the bill. read more

I thought the food was good but the staff and there was a lot of them seemed to need some training. When someone walks in the door someone should say can I help you or seat you. Not look at you like what are you doing here? I had to walk up and ask if we should wait to be seated or just sit down..our waitress was slow bringing the check and they were not really busy. I was here about 6 months ago and the staff has a I don't care attitude so I no longer care to eat there. They must depend on the tourists and college kids, they don't need my business... read more

My wife and I first visited The Upper Crust shortly after it opened, and I will admit our experience at that time was less than positive. Recently, after spending the day at the Gettysburg Wine Festival, we decided to give it another try, and I am very glad we did. The Upper Crust has now become one of our top dining spots in Gettysburg, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. That said, I am giving the restaurant four stars instead of five because I find it to be on the pricey side. While the food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, I do think the prices could be a little lower to allow room in one's budget for an adult beverage or dessert without pushing the tab too high. We started with the Light & Bright Salad--a delicious mix of Bibb lettuce, greens, toasted pine nuts, fresh berries, pickled fennel, and a red wine Dijon vinaigrette. It was fresh, vibrant, and flavorful, but at $12 each, $24 for two salads felt steep. For our main dish, we ordered the Margherita Pizza, topped with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil. It was well-balanced and satisfying, though again, $17 felt a little high for the portion. By the time taxes and tip were added, our total was just over $50 for the meal, which feels expensive in today's economy. Even with the pricing in mind, the quality and taste of the food speak for themselves, and The Upper Crust has won us over on this return visit. I highly recommend it for those looking for a fresh, modern take on pizza and salads in Gettysburg. read more

As a family we loved this restaurant. It is opened to outdoors but the temperature was still cool because of the big fans. We went in hungry and ordered a few appetizers, pizza, beef brisket and a burger. The brisket was on the fatty side but was juicy. The wings were nice and crispy. The pizza was great. My son and I were playing shuffleboard incorrectly while awaiting our food and the manager Jacob came and introduced himself and actually showed us how to play. My son loved the restaurant and wanted to eat there the next day as well and told me I better mention Jacob in my review. Jacob also hand delivered our pizza to us, we were very impressed by him. We had a great experience and would recommend. read more

We were very disappointed with our most recent visit. Our intention was to order food from the ribs place that adjoins the restaurant. That's usually possible but wasn't on the particular night we went. Apparently the ribs staff was working with a group of trivia players. I ordered wings & only ate a few of them. They had way too much heavy sauce on them for my taste. That sauce was also too spicy. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza & it was dull dull dull. At the very least it needed more pepperoni. Service was also way too slow. read more

The Upper Crust - Hot honey pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Best restaurant in Gettysburg for bringing kids and/or watching sports and having fun with friends. Multiple large screen tvs and large bar area seating plus pool tables, skeeball machines, basketball hoops, and air hockey. Pizza is made from the wood-fired ovens in the center of the restaurant, plus its connected to Borough BBQ and Lulu's Ice Cream so you can get a large variety of food items. White pizza and hummus/labneh duo appetizer were delicious! read more

HUGE place right in downtown Gettysburg that is technically 2: wood fired pizza and BBQ. We tried the smoked chicken pizza and it was phenomenal! While we ordered the BBQ sausage there was a miscommunication and when we saw the size of the pizza we opted to just stick with the one order. Despite the mix up service was on point! Wait staff was friendly and chit chatted about the day. Large options for beer, liquor, and mixed drinks as well. Great spot for lunch wandering around the drinking city with a history problem. read more

Lovely pizza ovens making ugly and burnt pizzas, poorly trained servers and mistakes in orders. Lucky this place is in a tourist area!

Let me tell you something - this place is a hive. Absolutely massive place - good for them. Pizza was good; but whatever bourbon I ordered, is now - not only my favorite bourbon - but has me drinking bourbon now in the first place. read more

Service was decent. But the food left much to be desired, For the price range of the pizza we expected much better. Super chewy crust and a pretty small portion, appetizers were fairly good but about average for any other chain restaurant. Other than that it's a cool building we enjoyed sitting in the window seating and watching the life in Gettysburg. read more

Upper crust is huge. They have great food, drinks and fun games in the back. The games are all free. Skeeball, basketball, pool, shuffleboard, and air hockey. Cool spot to grab a drink and play some games with friends. Can order food from bbq place that's connected. Bartenders are very friendly and helpful. Able to serve for both restaurant locations. Bartender Rachel and Cameron are great and busted their butts! The drinks were good: -Blackberry smash- very bright and refreshing. -Pecan old fashioned- lots of club soda. Tastes like tonic. Not much maple or pecan flavor -Honey peach mojito- very refreshing. Slight peach and honey flavor. Not overpowering. Really full body flavor tbh at pairs well with the mint and it's so good -Orange wood old fashioned- ok. Bourbon is too strong so you can't taste the other flavors All from upper crust menu: Mac and cheese balls- like fried risotto. Tons of cheesy flavor. The mustard flavor has a kick. Very crunchy and well friend. Creamy and soft on the inside. Brisket sandwich- good and tender but VERY peppery. Pretty dry and not much flavor other than the pepper. Pepperoni pizza- good flavor. Robust sauce that's not overpowering. Not crispy enough so it was limp and fell apart when eating read more

Good pizza, great atmosphere, and overall a great experience! Would recommend it to anyone with kids or not. Great beer selection!

We ate dinner at this restaurant last night and you should stay clear. We ordered barbecue chicken, ribs, and sides. The green beans were burned, the coleslaw really had very little flavor, and the baked beans were straight out of a can. The barbecue was OK. There are better places around & you should try them. If you're looking for service, this is not the restaurant you want. We asked for our drinks three times finally got them after I walked up to the service area & asked after they already brought our food. I was ready to go behind the counter and get our own drinks. Too many other great restaurants out there who want your business. It's not this one. read more

The good thing about this restaurant is the variety of pizzas and the handmade crust. It really hit the spot! Unfortunately, it's not worth the hassle of the experience of the restaurant. For instance, they serve ice cream. Okay, they say they serve ice cream. It's on the menu! But in reality, you actually have to leave the restaurant and walk down the street to another restaurant and get it yourself. Not a joke! Our service was also quite poor. My dad, one of the most patient people you'll ever meet, eventually got fed up because our waitress disappeared when we were ready to go. The manager got upset that we wanted to leave and said they were very busy, but four other servers were in a huddle, just talking. I would not recommend The Upper Crust to anyone, particularly on a busy night. It's just not worth the aggravation. read more

Deeply soulless vibe, extremely mediocre food, poor service, but at least it's expensive. This is a pass on all fronts.

Open cheerful setting...pizza ovens as centerpiece. Friendly servers and very nice beverages...no box wine here. read more

Stopped here for lunch while staying in town. Located across from our hotel, so it was a no-brainer to come here for lunch. First, one thing to mention right off the rip is there is plenty of room here. I would say it's probably the largest seating restaurant in Gettysburg. I want to say there were 60 tables? as well as a bar area, and a small arcade in the very rear. There are 3-4 ovens with cooks wheelin' and dealin' pies to push back the crowds. We were sat immediately and ordered drinks. Obviously, being a pizza place we split 3 pies as they were 12" in size. We got: Margherita: Not the best I have ever had, but the lack of enough basil leaves was troubling to me. Spinach: White pizza pie with spinach on top and balsamic glaze. Would have liked this to be leaves added at the time of serving - instead the spinach was wilted and just seemed off. Pepperoni: Was good overall - but something again was very pedestrian. Overall I thought the dough would have char to it and be more of a softer inside. Don't get me wrong the pizzas weren't bad - just like they were missing something. Would recommend. read more

For starts this place could be amazing it is huge, with lots of space. Rotating beer menu & full bar but that's where the buck stops. They gave up 5 menus.YUP..5! One featured Mediterranean food, One featured Barbeque, Another for drinks, one for Pizza, and another for seasonal items. All were 2 sided. I started with peach bourbon wings as an appetizer. The wings tasted like nothing, I asked for more of the sauce thinking that might help but it was worse. I was given a cold cup of something that looked like apple butter. I decided to keep it simple for the entree. They have 3 woodfire ovens and it is a pizza place but the pizza was a no-go as well. After the dirty water glass & bug in my drink. We decided to cash out and try the games. The games are free but they are broken and outdated. Definitely would do beer in a plastic cup but nothing else. Very disappointing read more

Loved this restaurant. First thing it is HUGE literally about 20,000 sq ft. The set up is really nice. The front wall of the restaurant opens up like a garage door I would say about 3 garage doors in length. They have booths and tables up front. In the middle are the wood burning ovens they cook the pizza in. We order the white spinach pizza with spinach, pecorino, mozzarella, goat cheese, balsamic reduction and evoo ( extra virgin olive oil ). So Delicious!! My husband had a York mixed drink and I had a glass of the Pinot Noir - Parducci, Mendocino County, California. Really nice red - to me a mix between a soft and sharp wine. I enjoyed it and my husband enjoyed his York Cocktail Our waitress was really nice and so were the other servers we interacted with. read more

HORRIBLE! Tried to get seated with my PTSD service dog, they turned us away. Red headed female, maybe manager, was extremely rude when she ordered me to leave. When we first got in there, I asked the hostess to seat us as far away from people as possible, so as not to offend anyone. I've got full credentials for my dog, certifying him as my service dog. But in speaking to some of the locals that's par for the course for that restaurant. I wish I could leave negative stars. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday night. Service was prompt and friendly. Our server Emma was very kind. The food was really subpar. My husband got the Korean wings, which he'd typically like but didn't even eat one full one. I ordered us a plain cheese pizza to split. It took a while because apparently the first one caught on fire in the oven and they needed to make another. Well, almost wish we got the charred one because the pizza we did get had the floppiest crust imaginable. I think if the crust was more well done, it would have been better since the flavor itself wasn't bad. I do wish we had more napkins though because either the grease or the EVOO they top the pizza with falls right off with our thin the crust is. Probably contributed to it being soggy. The other note is the bathrooms. Gettysburg in general always impresses me with how clean everything is outside and inside the businesses but this bathroom was rough. It reminded me of a college bar bathroom. Wet, dirty floor. I'm not a very large person, but I am a little pregnant and trying to comfortable fit in the first two stalls was claustrophobic. I had to use the large, handicapped stall which I avoid as I do not need the ADA accommodation. If they can figure out the pizza situation and tidy up the bathrooms, I'd probably go back and maybe just try another appetizer instead of the wings. read more

Came here with a group of people. Ordered. Food was wrong or never came. When food arrived it was cold. The manager was supposed to come over but never did. They're short staffed so they shouldn't have such a big seating area. Maybe scale back the seating so things will run smoother. read more

So, we love the Upper Crust, we frequently stopp in for lunch however not a good experience this time. The service was absolutely terrible, and I don't name drop with bad reviews. Walked in on the July 4th holiday Monday, not very busy and they did have at least 8 servers that I counted. We ordered 2 pizzas and my wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The pizzas came ahead of my wife's sandwich, I asked for crushed red peppers and parmeasian cheese. Well, minutes went by and still no peppers or cheese so I grabbed another server asking for it and it came in a timely fashion. 15 minutes after we got our pizza my wife's sandwich came and she ordered it with extra sauce on the side. Not only did it come with no sauce on the side it came dry without the sauce on the sandwich that's supposed to come on it. So she waited almost 8 minutes for someone to bring sauce so at this point my wife didn't want the sandwich and declined it. And note they did remove it from the check. The pizza is always good here and today was no different, nice lite Crust with good crunch and chew with the perfect amount of sauce and topping. We asked for a box for the pizza we couldn't eat and we were brought these tiny plastic containers that one slice of pizza couldn't ever fit in but we got that situation corrected easily. Listen, I get it, people do have bad days, I'm not unreasonable or a jerk customer, but when you pay to eat out you expect certain things and they fell way short today but we will be back hopefully with better service. Let me add that we are over tippers, usually 25% or better but remember what TIPS stand for- T- To I- Insure P- Proper S- Service read more
