Pizza is phenomenal, but don't overlook the other courses! Incredible range for this smallish, beautiful, and welcoming neighborhood gem. The service is the best around, and they know their wines, too. Highly recommend. read more

Food is amazing, the service is phenomenal, wine and sake selection is over the top. You might think Italian and sake? Well this is the place you can explore and open up your eyes. They go well together (surprisingly!) I had such a good time here. Very romantic, perfect for a date night. Don't forget to get the Caesar salad! read more

Our usual pizza spot was closed for Easter, so we decided to pivot and ended up at Wildcrust on a whim--and I'm so glad we did. The food was absolutely spectacular. We started with the meatballs, which honestly could have been a meal on their own. The pizzas came shortly after (Funghi and Salame Piccante), and both were excellent, perfectly cooked with great flavor. Service was just as impressive. Travis was fantastic and helped us pick the perfect glass of wine to complement our meal. Overall, this turned out to be an unexpected find and a great experience. We hadn't planned on coming here, but we'll definitely be back. read more

I've eaten here 4 times now. Food has some amazing things and a couple things I'd pass on. (see below) Staff is super friendly and very welcoming and attentive. Parking sucks. Be prepared to find street parking. The Pizza: Margherita is the best, for sure. So far I've tried the Margherita, the Salami Piccante, and the Funghi. Out of those three, for sure the Margherita is the best one. Tip: Get the Calabrian Chili on the side. Note: They do not have ranch dressing for all you ranch dipping pizza lovers. Get the meatballs. It's always a must. So soft and flavorful. Best meatballs I've ever had. Get the Brussel sprouts. So friggin' good! Pass on the fried calamari. It was way over cooked. Pass on the pork belly. It was just okay, and also personally didn't feel like it paired well with anything else we ordered for the table. Out of the 4 times I've been here, the first 3 visits everything was unbelievably good. For some reason though on the 4th visit, the pizza didn't seem the same. Maybe because it was crowded, maybe someone new in the kitchen? Regardless, I'm sure something was just off that night. I'll definitely be back again hopefully soon! read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner since I was in the area. Wildcrust has been on my list since they opened. It is a really cute spot with a nice patio. There is a small lot out front if you are lucky enough to get a parking spot. We ordered two dishes: the calamari and the bacon onion jam pizza. The calamari had everything bagel seasoning and a side of marinara which was good. Nothing amazing but good. The pizza was very good. It had a good sweetness to it and the chilis gave it good heat. We did ask for a side of marinara with the pizza since I'm more of a red sauce person. Overall, the service was great. They gave great recommendations and were very attentive. Only thing is I wish I knew was that they were going to charge us for the side of sauce before they brought it. Overall, solid pizza and cute spot! read more

Really fantastic restaurant. Both the patio and the interior have good vibes and the service was friendly and efficient. And the food was very tasty -- we had the calamari, the Brussels, and the salame picante pizza, all of which were delicious. They also have plenty of high chairs and booster seats, so the next time we go, we will be back with our kids! Highly recommend. read more

Brought my best friend to try this place out catch up. I highly recommend this spot for a date night if you're looking for something nice and not too fancy! Anyways onto the food: 1. Calamari with everything bagel seasoning - never would have thought of this combination but it sure does work. For those who are picky about the calamari, it is both legs and rings. 2. Cesar salad - greens were crispy and flavor was there. I need the brown butter bread crumbs on everything! 3. Margherita Pizza - Good but nothing too amazing. 4. Star of the show - Branzino - after having this, I have become a fan of Branzino. I will probably recommend this to anyone who comes here. The fish does have bones so be careful when you're eating it! The Shitake Buerra Blanc - Never had anything like this before but my friend who is not a fan of fish was in love this combination! 5. If Branzino isn't your thing, then the TIRAMISU IS THE STAR. Honestly would rate this top 2 Tiramisu I have ever tasted in my life. Note - there is pistachio for those allergic to nuts. I will be back because the wifey is not jealous haha Parking - A TINY parking lot but majority of the parking is street. read more

Was feeling like pizza the other night, and was and Eagle Rock, and Wildcrust was in my list of places I needed to try, so made a quick reservation and headed over. Parking at Wildcrust is minimal in their parking lot, so you may need to find street parking, which is much more ample. The restaurant itself has an indoor and patio seating option. It was raining hard when we arrived, so inside was the move. We were sat immediately and water was brought to the table. After a quick look at the menu, we started with the pork belly and meatballs, with two pizzas: the margherita and bacon onion jam. The pork belly passed the eyeball test with some pickled cabbage on top. The meat,itself, was thinly slides and pretty fatty overall. Would have preferred more meat to fat ratio. Also, it could have been crispier on top to give the nice textured bite you look for from pork belly. The meatballs, oh the other hand, were outstanding. Definitely in my top three meatballs I've ever had. They use a snake rivers farm beef, and you can taste the quality, but it what feel like there's Parmesan mixed directly into the beef giving it this extra amazingness to each bite. The meatballs are layers with a chipotle tomato sauce giving a little spice and smokiness. Just a great meatball, would definitely recommend. Now you the pizzas. They are on the smaller end when it comes to pizzas for a table, and that's fine. First, the margherita. The tomatoes used tasted very nice, and the dough itself was good. The cheese felt a little cold in some areas, for some reason, so it became overly hard and not that soft, creamier texture. It also felt a little overly wet for a margherita. The bacon onion jam was different. It comes with goat cheese which, for be, I didn't feel was very prominent, to the point I didn't notice it. But a little ghost cheese goes a long way so this was probably for the best. But I was expecting this to really stand out and leave a memorable mark on me but, for some reason, it didn't. Overall, Wildcrust is a wood for oven pizza spot in Highland Park serving to they're take on the classic Naples item. If you go, absolutely order the meatballs, and bring me one as well. I'd say skip the pork belly. As for the pizza, if I had to choose one for you to order.... I guess the margherita based on the two we tried. But, honestly, just get the meatballs read more

I love pizza! That said, of course I have my favs but I am always happy to venture out! I tried Wildcrust last night. I ordered the Salame Picante, the Caesar Salad and Tiramisu. The salad was fine. The dressing was not the typical dressing, but it was fine. The pizza.....I hate to say this..was awful. I was very disappointed! The toppings were sparse. The sauce tasted like tomato sauce straight from the jar/can. The meat slices were as thin as prosciutto. Was there cheese on the pizza? It was barely discernable. I tasted zero hot honey or and spice.....or really, any seasoning. The crust was soggy, and not because of the toppings, lol! The tiramisu was dry. All this, including tip, $100. Maybe it was an off night? Oh well. read more

I've been here twice and can now officially say this is my new favorite pizza in town! The crust is just perfect. I've had the margherita, funghi, and salame so far and all of them were delicious. If you like your pizza spicy, definitely order the Calabrian chili to add on top. The other items on the menu are equally delicious, and each one has a unique twist. Highly recommend the fritters, Caesar salad, meatballs with the sourdough, Brussels sprouts, and the sweet potatoes. It's a cute place for a date but it also works well for larger groups, because there are lots of great shareable options. Can't wait to go back to try the other items on the menu! read more

Great place to eat some amazing quality food and wouldn't brake the bank honestly. the service was also just amazing friendly faces and just always walking around checking on you. the venue was clean, small but lore of a homie feel then cramped. they have a great variety of foods just need to get there and try a little bit of it all. read more

Super delicious food. The winner of the night was the brussel sprouts, even for my 10 year old daughter. We also enjoyed the sweet potatoes and for pizza we had three: the margarita, bacon with onion jam, and funghi pizzas. Great atmosphere, chill but upscale in a casual way. We brought friends from out of town and they loved it. read more

Food was great but tbh this review is for Claudia. She was just so genuinely nice and attentive. One of the best service I've ever had. Give this angel a raise! read more

This is my usual pizza place, but I had to write a review over the awful customer service. I called in to ask a question about an online order and I was met with a rude and dismissive attitude from the person who answered me the phone. I love the pizza but my recent interaction left a bad taste and definitely makes me hesitate on patronizing the business again. read more

Great potential here with lots to work out. The Good: The Squash blossoms were yummy, the flavor and presentation was great! The meatballs were also good, the sauce was slightly spicy which was a great touch. Their spritz is also really refreshing and surprisingly strong. Ambiance absolutely gets a 5/5! The Not so good: The space is small and can feel quite cramped we were put at a weird setup table where we both faced the wall and kept getting bumped into when people walked behind us. The wait was honestly kinda ridiculous, they recommend you put the dishes in together but then bring everything out like 15-20 minutes apart the meal did not feel cohesive whatsoever. Service was also lacking, our server (while very nice) checked in only once the whole dinner. Besides the pizza, servings are also quite small. Overall a good one and done place, I don't see myself coming back but am glad I gave it a try! read more

We had no idea where to go for dinner after our son's racing event. My husband searched the area online and found Wild Crust. I have to say this place was amazing at accommodating six people after 8 pm and the service...outstanding! Claudia was so on top of it while always willing to chat and share a smile. The food, especially the Cesar salad and the Brussels sprouts, was fantastic. read more

Wildcrust is one of those places that keeps me up at night thinking about it. Not only is it the cutest retro chic interior, but the staff are all so friendly and want you to know about your food as much as enjoy it. I always eat ungodly amounts of pizza here yet never feel bloated or disgusting after. Their little gem lettuce caesar salad is a buttery dream. They released some new menu items when I went and they are absolutely must-try items. The japanese sweet potato with pomegranate and butter reduction was so unbelievably melt in your mouth. It's funny I was just talking with a friend about how pomegranates are royalty food, and it does add that touch of esteem to this dish. The new chicken dish was the most moist chicken I've ever had, and the pickled onion it comes with was so refreshing it was the perfect pairing. We were also privileged to try the banana ice cream the chef was playing around with and I must beg for that to be released to the menu. It was such a stretchy and creamy consistency, I was obsessed with the texture and it tasted exactly like Korean Banana Kick snacks. Pistachio tiramisu is phenomenal (though I've never had bad tiramisu). Ask Sam to tell you about the sakes! The one we tried was absolutely divine. read more

Omigosh, so so good! Service - we had the friendliest and attentive waitress from New York. She was the best! Food - so amazing. Meatballs - 5/5, so flavorful, doesn't just taste like your regular old meaty meatballs. It was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. Would def get this again. Salame - 4/5, I got this one, this is also so amazing, the chili drizzle was really good and it gave it a little kick. I ordered the Calabrian chili for 1.75 and it made it even spicier which I loved. Very flavorful! Margherita - 5/5, my husband got this one, so insanely good, can taste so many different flavors with one bite! I'll definitely be getting this one next time, this was the highlight I was sad they stopped selling the duck croquettes cus we really wanted to try it but hope they bring it back! read more

I was excited when my friend asked me to try this place since I had it bookmarked for a while lol A cute place for a date, but also a nice place for family/friends gathering. Place is not huge tho...reservations recommended. There was a deposit fee for reservation. You will lose it if you don't show up or cancel in advance. Parking was very limited. In the same plaza as Fondry...my friends ended up parking in the streets. One of my friends made reservation for 4. The friendly host seated us right away when we arrived. I don't order salad often, but i was looking forward to try their Caesar salad. We ordered one Caesar, the asparagus, meatballs, hamachi crudo, and 2 pizzas. For pizza, we got the funghi and salame picante. I enjoyed the small plates more than the pizzas. The caesar salad was very refreshing =) i enjoyed every bite. Very tasty!! The Hamachi had a little spice to it. It was so good. I loved the flavor. I also thought the asparagus was yummy. It was cooked perfectly. Not sure what they added, but it was so good. I wanted to put all the sauce on it lol My least favorite was the meatballs. It looked good, but the flavor was lacking. Also, thought it was a bit dry. Luckily, we didn't add another piece for $7. I liked the funghi pizza more than the salame. The salame was too sweet for my liking. However, i am not a fan of honey or sweet pizza . The funghi was good, but a bit too salty. Very thin pizza. I prefer the thicker ones with lots of cheese, but these weren't bad at all. Overall, it was good. Service was very good as well. read more

I think their pizza was very solid. I just went with the margherita because it's always my go-to for simplicity. The margherita was good. The star however was the Caesar salad. I dream of that salad, I'm coming back for sure to have it again. Simple, with lots of cheese layered on top. It was perfect. We also enjoyed our drinks that were recommended to us. There's a small parking lot and lots of street parking read more

Caesar salad - competent, lots of cheese, really nice tiny croutons with a great texture. Duck croquettes - oddly gamey tasting and not in an enjoyable way for me. There is a lot of duck in these tho and the cheese is really nice. The garlic aoili is also good. Funghi pizza - 2 day cold fermented sourdough crust, with a really nice chewy texture, that I wish had more flavor. The Raclette paired nicely with the mushrooms. It needed...maybe a little salt? Didn't wow me for the price, which was my takeaway for this entire spot, really. Our waitress was very informative and friendly and service was very quick and attentive. This space is cute altho, at night, real hard to read the menus if you're over 40 A nice date night vibe tho. I doubt we'll be back, but I'm glad we tried it. read more

This is probably the best artisan pizza I've ever had the pleasure of trying. All their pizzas are made with a "slow-fermenting dough that is enhanced with sourdough starter" (I had to look that up). Add fire, and you end up with a crust that is flavorful, chewy with just the right amount of crispiness. The toppings are fresh and thoughtfully combined into true masterpieces. One of the highlights of the menu is the tempura-battered squash blossoms. Light and crispy, filled with creamy ricotta, pine nuts, and herbs, they're a must-try! The wine list is small but well chosen, with options that pair nicely with the whatever you choose. The staff are friendly and happy to help with wine suggestions or menu questions. (I suggest the 2019 Castello di Uviglie "Le Cave" Barbera del Monferrato Superiore) :-) Whether you're planning a date night or just want a really good pizza, Wildcrust hits the mark. It's a simple, well-executed dining experience with top-quality ingredients and a laid-back vibe. read more

Decided to do to an online order for pickup since I was craving pizza. You can choose if you want your pizza to be 6 or 8 slices. Once you place your order you'll receive an email order receipt with your pick up time on the top left. You won't receive any text or email saying it's ready for pickup, you just show up. I Picked it up 10 min after the eta and I was glad that it was still warm. Salame Piccante: Upon the first bite, I definitely tasted the charred smoky flavor from the crust. Then a combination of salty, sweet and a slight spiciness. The sweetness reminded me of hot honey. This is a thin but structured pizza. Overall the pizza was good and I enjoyed it. Parking: There is a small shared lot in the plaza. They are located in the same plaza as Fondry. There are lots of street parking. read more

Wildcrust - Salame Piccante Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was great. Ambience was casual. Service was friendly. We had the hamachi crudo as a starter. Then followed with the asparagus. We ordered 2 pizzas, knowing we would take home some leftovers but wanted to try more than one. We preferred the fungi over the mortadella. Mortadella slices on the pizza were strangely thick. We had 3 glasses of wine between the 2 of us. The only downside (besides the lack of parking) is that our bill was over $200 for a really good, but pizza dinner. With the appetizer @ $29 for good but 5 pieces of hamachi crudo, asparagus coming in at $23, and pizzas averaging $26 each, this is a pricey meal. Add wine at an average of $20/glass and it adds up. This is not your average casual dinner for 2. But the location, ambience and service suggest otherwise. Would I return? I don't think so. I would like to hope that I could go out to a nice, but casual pizza restaurant for under $200. It was good, but not that good. Unfortunately. read more

been a long time since i really checked out highland park though my first residence after graduating college was in highland park. what a change in the scenery, especially among the shops and restaurants. if wildcrust is an example of the new places here then highland park's future looks bright. i came here to try the pizza and it did not disappoint. there are, i think, six or seven pizzas and they are all slightly bigger than personal sizes but ideal for sharing. get two and you can share among two or three people. i went for the salame one which is more traditional but it has a slight kick to it, more flavor than heat. the crust was sourdough and i imagine it was either a coal- or wood-fired oven. thin crust, totally balanced and sublime. angelina the GM came by to check on me and convinced me to try the meatballs. they did not disappoint either. they were crispy on the outside so i imagine they were probably baked and then put onto a grill after. whatever they did, there was a ton of flavor. angelina is super warm and friendly and has a smile that makes you feel like an old friend. the place has a great neighborly feel. parking is a little challenging but a small price to pay. i will be back. what a cool find. read more

Wildcrust - salame pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So so glad my boss introduced me to Wildcrust located in the Highland Park area. Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS & service was super quick. Cesar Salad: I wanna say this was probably one of the best Cesar salads I've ever had -- each piece of salad was coated nicely in the Cesar sauce and the crunchy bits in each bite made it 1000x better. Salame Piccante: Woah.. the way the crust was light & airy. They were super generous with the amount of salame they put on the pizza & the sauce and hints of honey altogether was *chefs kiss*. Burrata: The burrata was delicious and super fresh! This was a nice light side we had before our main dish came out. Broccolini: The broccolini was sooo good and flavorful -- you gotta make sure to dip as much sauce as possible into the veggie or you're missing out. This was a great addition to our meal as a veggie option :-) This was such a cute, hipstery spot in HP that I discovered. I would 10000% come back specifically for the Cesar Salad + the salame piccante pizza. read more

Wildcrust exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed dinner or date night. Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, but the star of the meal was definitely the pizza. The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside, light and airy on the inside, with incredible flavor that made every bite memorable. We started with the Caesar salad and the broccolini, both of which were excellent. The Meatballs are flavorful and juicy the and surprisingly, it paired beautifully with a chilled sake. The clean, smooth finish of the sake balanced the richness of the dishes and complemented the smoky, wood-fired crust in a unique and refreshing way. We finished with the tiramisu, which was delightful, the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. The service was excellent ,friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. Wildcrust delivers not only incredible food but also a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to come back! read more

It feels odd to lead by saying the Caesar salad is amazing but it is. So are the meatballs and the pizza. Honestly not sure you can go wrong with an order and the staff is so friendly and helpful and happy to offer thoughts and suggestions. The vibes are good. Has the comfort of a nice local spot but the prices are on the higher side which would keep the frequency I come here in check. read more

We had a wonderful dinner! We had 2 pizzas, calamari, meatballs, and a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious; my favorites were the bacon & onion jam pizza and the meatballs.

I'll definitely return with family and friends to try more from the menu. Highly recommended! read more

FANTASTIC restaurant with amazing food and a comfortable vibe! I rarely eat pizza anymore but the place boasts a special sourdough crust, so I HAD to give it a go... ...TOTALLY worth the carb splurge! Sitting atop the crust was some delicious pesto and mortadella that affirmed my decision! Also ordered the meatballs which had a nice "Japanese" Hamburg" taste to them. Add some awesome grilled vegetables to the mix amd you will fully understand my 5-stars. In the immortal words of Arnold, "I'll be back!" read more

Delicious local eatery! Cocktails were great, and the appetizers were mouthwatering. We loved the Caesar salad the most (so much Parmesan, but also exactly the right amount), but also loved the meatballs, duck croquette, and tuna crudo. Lamb pizza was really unique and loved the crust. Great service that helped inform our choices, great cocktails, and even some free parking spots on site. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, cozy booths for dates, as well as some larger tables for groups. Look forward to coming back! read more

This may as well be one of the BEST pizza spots in the area. BUT, I cannot stop there. The appetizers are a solid, unskippable must. The waiters are kind and intimate, with convenient sake recommendations. The desserts are a very very nice round off to a delicious night out. DO NOT miss this spot. If there is one dish I have to give the shout-out to, it will easily be the Brussels sprouts, SO ADDICTING! read more

This restaurant is a gem in Eagle Rock. Every dish that I have had, has clean ingredients. The flavors are harmonious and the servers are so kind. (Especially the Charming Travis, who remembered me and has perfect timing and suggestions) Caesar salad with delectable tiny, cheesy croutons. Mushroom pizza that is reminiscent of pizza that I had in Tuscany. The finish to my meal was an apple sorbet that tasted something like a fresh frozen apple sauce with unexpected bits of salt. So unique. As I sat and waited to make my payment, I realized that the air in the restaurant was savory. Tomato, bread, hints of smoke. It reminded me of my great aunt Sara's kitchen aromas. Italian food slow cooking. Not that I am Italian. She married a sweet Italian man and learned to cook for him. Food can hold memories and tell a love story. Wild Crust does that for me. Comfort and care. read more

Wildcrust is a relatively new restaurant in Eagle Rock and I had the opportunity to visit with a friend recently - it was such a great experience! We ordered the mushroom pizza, cabbage dish, and duck liver mousse. All three items were absolutely delicious. The pizza had a generous amount of mushrooms and the crust was perfectly thin and crispy. The cabbage was roasted and the flavor was unique and so tasty and sweet. The duck liver mousse came with yummy pieces of bread and was creamy and decadent. We ordered some wine which paired well with the meal - would definitely recommend for a cute date night or girls night out! Only warning is that they have a communal seating area where they may place you if you choose indoor seating; if it's you and one other person, you could be placed in the middle of the table across from each other. I think communal tables are my least favorite type of seating especially if you can't avoid it without sitting outside. read more
