Golden Crust Pizza

My favorite place in the neighborhood to eat. It’s not a Super Bowl without their hot wings and a cheese steak.

Super great burgers, hoagies and cheesesteaks and also great falafels. The pizza though, is not very good. Maybe that’s why they get such bad ratings. Also, in the past their staff was pretty often not courteous.

We order Stromboli, veggie pizza, wings, onion rings the food was luke warm at best the wings were burnt and hard to enjoy. The Stromboli had no meat and I ordered 4 different kinds veggie pizza was the only thing that came correct… this meal reminded me why I stopped ordering out

Walked in and the phone rang as I walked up, she said one moment (to me) then answered the phone to take the order. No problem here, it was a toss up as to who was here first.
She looked at me to say something, phone rings again and she answers it and takes an order. Looks at me and says «What can I. .», then the phone rings and SHE ANSWERED IT AND STARTS TO TAKE THEIR ORDER! ! WTF?! Put them on hold, I was next several times.
Never coming back. I can get over a bad meal, but that lack of common sense is un-​acceptable.

New to the area and we were tired after moving in to our new place all weekend and wanted to try some local pizza.
Ordered through Unilocal around 7pm (it says 45 – 60 minutes for an order) for one large pizza. It wasn’t until 7:38pm we received a phone call saying the amount online was wrong, they would not honour the price of the online order. We are reasonable people so we said that was fine and prepared to wait around 15 more minutes to receive our pizza. 8:15pm rolls around, still no pizza.
I called to check in on our order and the woman blamed us for the issue since we did not pick up the first time she tried to call our cell phone about the price of the pizza. I told her no worries and continued to ask when it would be there and she let me know. We proceeded to wait ANOTHER 15 minutes for the pizza. After what felt like forever (it was probably our stomachs making us hangry), we finally received our order and ate to our hearts content. The pizza tasted like frozen pizza.
All that to say only order here if you are in need of pizza really bad on a Sunday night because all the other local places are not open and you are willing to pick it up and no offense to the all powerful awesome Unilocal,but don’t order a pizza from them through here.

I can truly say that their food has gone downhill since I first started eating there. Their pizza is not as good as it used to be they overcharge you for one slice of pizza that is sometimes not even properly heated or fully cooked. There is always a lot of noise and dysfunction when I go into the restaurant during the day. It is easier to go at night. Occasionally things work out fine when I eat there. I only order the same thing because a lot of their food does not taste very good. That is a shame because I used to love their food back in the day. I only eat here as a last resort. There is parking available if you park in Fitlife Gym’s parking lot beside McMenamin’s Tavern. They do serve beer here, but there is a deli and a wine distributor across the street that you are better off getting your libations from.

Probably have mice all the time, I told the guy I just saw one and he completely ignored me like he used to it…

Not good. This is really cheap pizza. Like others have said, just buy a frozen pizza. Try a little harder Golden Crust.

I would not even give this place one 1 star! I ordered a pizza. It came with hardly any toppings. I called back and got promised a new pizza. 45 minutes later nothing. I called. The person on the phone automatically had an attitude and said well the owner said we can’t send you a new pizza because we got the toppings right. She proceded to have an attitude with me. I asked her if she cared whether the customer was happy because that’s how she gets paid. Still an aittitude. I asked if she was even listening she replied not really and said my name is Christian you can tell the manager if you want to and put me infinite hold. I called back got put on hold every times (3 times) the 4 th time I got someone else. She said she could do nothing because the previous person was the manager. I got the time the owner was coming back. I ordered another pizza from Tito’s in Mount Airy instead. I ordered from G crust at 1154 and it’s now 2:44 and I eating a pizza from somewhere else. I added a photo of the G Crust pizza beside the Tito’s pizza. Look under my local photos! I will never deal with the Golden Crust on Germantown Ave again ever!

Their pizza just isn’t that good. I would rather eat a frozen pizza than a golden crust. Their fries are rather tasteless and there’s something about the texture that makes me wonder if they’re re-​heating yesterday’s batch. I also wouldn’t recommend the gyros. The gyros meat seems soggy and they never put enough tzatziki sauce on it, but the bread is okay. I would recommend the pita bread. Perhaps there is something else on the menu that is good that I haven’t tried yet — I just wouldn’t order the pizza. They are inexpensive and service is average.

The pizza here is good, but it’s nothing that will wow you compared to some of the pizza I’ve had in other shops and in other parts of the world. They do, however, offer more than just pizza, so I ordered a mushroom and swiss burger and fries over the phone so I could come pick it up. The straw that gets this place only 3 stars instead of 4 or 5, is that when I arrived to pick up my dinner, my order didn’t show up on the computer so there was a bit of confusion at the counter, but I grabbed an Israeli nectar to drink, and since those are so rare, I couldn’t leave without one. Wouldn’t consider sitting in to eat here, but for pickup, it works.

Their flounder hoagies and cheesesteaks are very good. Not best in the city good, but definitely solid. Their pizza is solid as well. I usually order a flounder hoagie or cheesesteak with a side of mozzarella fries and am never disappointed.

Do you like butter fried frozen crusts? Then you’ll love this place. Me I like good pizza, this place does not have it.

Last night I ordered a cheese steak with fried onions. What I got was an INSULT to Philadelphia cheese steaks. Starting with the roll: mushy, nothing interesting, tasteless, the meat: what meat? Barely there. The cheese: what cheese? Ditto, barely there. Fried onions: Ok. Golden Crust used to make a decent cheese steak, but not anymore. Bummer.

This restaurant will NEVER get another dime of my money. I have ordered with them several times and at least half the time, they messed up my orders. The last time, they completely left off the funnel fries I ordered and when I called, they said I could come back and get them. When I advised the woman on the phone that I could not come back because I have a small child, she said that she would give my information to the manager and I can get the funnel fries the next time I ordered. Less than 2 weeks later, I put in an online order through GrubHub and called the restaurant asking for them to include the funnel fries they owed me. A guy who barely spoke English yelled that he knows nothing about them owing me funnel fries and would not give them to me. Would I really lie about $ 2.50 funnel fries? Really? I informed him that I would be canceling my order, and he did not care. Just stated a nonchalant «okay.» I called GrubHub and they credited me for the funnel fries and canceled today’s order. The food was dry and greasy anyway. My daughter and I will stick to Toto’s. Thank you very much.

Really cheap lunch specials, and their main dishes are decent. But every single time I’ve ordered, the fries that come with the combo seem like they’ve been sitting out for hours (even when I order right after they open!) They usually get something wrong about my order, too, like the wrong soda, or forgetting lettuce on a burger; it’s never anything to make a huge fuss about– but still annoying.

Golden Crust is a little better than average. Whenever you order over the phone, they never have a person who seems to understand the most basic of words. It always takes 5 minutes to place a simple order. You’re better off going to Fiesta Pizza up Germantown… but this place does have beer… and Four Loko.

Pizza is just okay. Better than some nearby but still not all that great.

We got take out for the big game on Sunday. We ordered a cheesesteak and a gyro platter. The cheesesteak was pretty good. It was fresh and hot and certainly edible. The roll however was mushy in parts. Like the edges had been dropped in water kind of mushy. Yuck. That had to be scraped off with a spoon before consumption. Once the inedible goo was gone, it was pretty tasty. Good amount of cheese and the meat wasn’t stringy or chewy.
The gyro looked and smelled good and was gone quickly so it appeared to be loved. It came with tons of tzatziki sauce, tomatos, onions and a choice of lamb or chicken.
We’ve also gotten pizza in the past and it’s all right too, especially the garlicky crust. I’m tough on pizza though. Being raised in Jersey makes you a pizza/​tomato pie snob, it can’t be be helped.
A good place for take out if you can find a parking spot. They won’t deliver if you don’t have a landline phone (who has one of THOSE anymore?) so be prepared to hoof it.

This place is… A-​Okay. You’re going to find whatever typical Philly fast food joint you’re looking for here: Cheesesteaks, cheesesteak hoagies, «steak bomb» cheesesteak, cheesesteak wraps, cheesesteak on pita bread… I mean, if you wake up feeling like, «Eh, shaved meat on hoagie bread is just too boring,» then you’ve got options here. For what it’s worth, I felt like my cheesesteak here was a little too polite. The meat didn’t fall out the end of the bread and down my arm. For some, that may be a plus but I kind of like poorly mannered meat.
Golden Crust also has pizza of course, hoagies (and grinders, whatever those are), burgers, seafood platters, salads, and BREAKFAST until noon. And I love how they offer turkey bacon and sausage, so you can feel like that greasy breakfast sandwich with fluffy eggs and gooey cheese on buttered bread is totes a healthy start to your day.
All in all, a fine place to stop and get some somewhat-​reasonably-​priced nosh. They have lunch specials for 7 bucks (all of which come with french fries). Service is a little slow, but what are you gonna do, get your cheesesteak from Wawa?!
