I LOVE "THE CRUST PIZZA! Their pizza so good that I only order plain slices 95% of the time! It's so much like the pizza I got growing up in Brooklyn till I turned 20 y/o! and moved to Jersy So. I was not surprised to hear the 2 brothers who run the place grew up in Brooklyn as well Gerry is the actual owner, and his brother helps run the place. I am partial to thin crust pizza that snaps when you bite into the slice. Their cheese, dough, sauce are all top notch so it's no wonder their pizza pie reigns over any other pizza in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. They advertise as a restaurant, but it's more like a pizza parlor to me. Very casual place and the owners are interactive with the customers. I tried a pepperoni slice as well as a "Roma: slice (ricotta, fresh garlic, mozzarella, with extra toppings available. Outstanding? YES!!! The meatball sub undeniably best you can get! But their prices are high to my way of thinking. $14 for a meatball sub - yikes! $9.00 for a side of meatballs or sausage! You do get what you pay for even if you pay a bit to much! Note: I cheerfully drive 4x the distance to get my pizza. I fly past NY Stromboli Pizza and suggest you should too!

Asked Chat for the best thin crust pizza in Lehigh Valley and this was one of the top options. The pizza was delicious but the star of the show was their rolls!! The best crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside rolls! The pizza was also thin and crispy just the way we like it! No drooping when in hand. Dave Portnoy is missing out!

**About a year later & I returned thought I'd update. Everything is still fresh and delicious, owner still a smiling friendly face & employees still helpful & lovely. Today i tried the Mexican chicken slice which was absolutely phenomenal. They do chicken cutlet how chicken cutlet is meant to be done. They have a creamy spicy sauce & jalapeños, tomatoes, fresh garlic, I think maybe onion? Idk exactly but I can tell you that you need to try it. Will always come back here. Food & vibes are impeccable. Parking lot though- can be tricky 😄 but worth it. I encourage everyone to branch out here & try a new slice. If there's any place nearby to be brave it's this one so it would be remiss of you not to. Original post I happened upon this restaurant when I had a doctors appointment nearby. I can not articulate how pleasantly surprised I was with the quality of food. I'm originally from Jersey so I don't typically set my hopes too high for pizza in PA but this place met my preferences & then some. Highly recommend the white pizza and the gyro. All of their ingredients are super fresh, the employees (and owner) are so friendly, the place is super clean & they have really great unexpected slice options. I had my trepidation about the gyro slice but only bc I didn't want soggy warm lettuce. The lettuce somehow was still lovely and crisp after heating the slice and the tzatsiki on it was incredible. I will absolutely drive out the 40min simply to try more food here.
