Above the Crust

Staff are very friendly. Prices are reasonable. I only had the cheese pizza and it was pretty good. First piece was delicious, nice and thin with a crisp crust. The second piece tasted like it had pineapple juice on it. Both pieces came off the same pizza so I’m not sure why it tastes different. I would go back here if I was in the area, typical slice of pizza you’d buy on the streets of New York.

This place became one of my new go-​to local pizza shops after another one I frequented nearby changed ownership and went to crap. I’m glad I made the switch, cause this place rocks.
It pretty much covers everything on a checklist you would have for a pizzeria (if you had one). Giant pizza slices? Check. Large food portions? Check. Decent enough pricing where you’re in awe with the amount of food you get, but not low enough to worry about the sanitation rating of the place? Check. Friendly staff? Check. Yes, you get the picture.
Most of the pizzas are premade, so if you don’t want nothing fancy you can pick a slice and they warm it up and serve it to you. If you want a whole pizza to go, they are fairly quick with making it, though it’s best to order a head of time.
I think my only grump about this place is the garlic rolls. They’re good, but they always make me sick. I still eat them anyway cause I’m a dumbass.

This is a great family pizzeria. The wife and I love bringing the kids here or even ordering a pie to go.
Their white pie is simply amazing with lots of flavor and just the right amount of garlic. The crust has just the right amount of crunch but still soft in the center.
Forget chain pizza places like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns or Little Cesar’s
Needless to say that this is now our go to pizzeria as a family.
Oh and be sure to try their fresh house made potato chips!

By far the worst pizza in vegas don’t waste your time and money. frozen pizza has more flavor, waited 30 extra min for my order while the staff was yelling and arguing with each other by the time I finally got my order it was cold and soggy

By far my favorite pizza place! They have the best customer service and their fingers and sausage pizza are to die for!

Love this place. Routinely order from here for UFC events and football. So much better than your typical franchise like Dominos or Pizzza Hut. Real hand made dough and just the right amount of grease! I’m an east coast guy and know how real Pizza tastes, not this 11 herbs and spice sauce nonsense you see from the franchise models I need dough, sauce, cheese and grease. I need them in the right combination, in the right proportion, from a perfectly heated oven… and cooked for the right amount of time. So far this is the only place in Vegas that I have found that knows how to perform this east coast magic.
Place an order and it is always on time to pick up, usually even early. Reasonable prices, and a super friendly, well trained staff. And yes, they do deliver if you are actually that lazy.

Ordered delivery the garlic knots tasted old the pizza was cold and tasted plain be warned the small is only 4 slices! They are overpriced considering the food isn’t amazing

Pizza was really greasy and the garlic knot was raw in the middle. The driver got lost and tried to blame it on me. I pretty sure know my building number, man! He also said he didn’t carry change! Based off another review, I now think this is a hustle they are trying to run. Wtf?!

Ordered for pick up the other evening. They had a large 16 in pizza and baked rigatoni for $ 19.99. Seemed like a fair deal. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. Pizza was hot and fresh and the pasta dish was enough to feed 3 to 4 people. Pizza was decent with solid topping distribution. Pizza sauce was ok, it could have had more flavor of herbs and spice I think it came out of a package or can did not taste house made. Cheese was a decent quality and quantity. The true test of pizza is how does it taste the day after… or cold. This was not the best day old pizza but not worst either.
I would brand Above the Crust as real Las Vegas Pizza. Yes Vegas is now on the map along with NYC AND CHICAGO. It is a blend of these two styles along with a hint of beach pizza. Just like many other things and ideas in Vegas that are just bought, sold, ripped off, copied, and reinvented to create it’s own superficial existence and rebranded as its own style. VEGAS BABY!
Overall Above the Crust was an OK pie, but just cannot compare to all those real mom and pop italian pizzaria’s I grew up on in the midwest.

I’ve been here twice. After the first time, I didn’t expect to go back because it was less than stellar, but friends wanted to go and I’m glad we joined them. The second time we ordered different things and were really pleased!
The boyfriend is a pickier eater, preferring plain (boring) cheese pizza. Luckily, the staff had no problems letting us ordering half of one type of pie, and half of another. The first time we got a half veggie, and while the veggies and crust were slightly undercooked for my liking, it was adequate. The second time we got a half Greek with red sauce, and it was delicious (they didn’t skimp on the spinach and everything was piping hot).
The garlic knots are delicious. They taste a lot like Villa Pizza’s, which is actually a compliment because those food court rolls are my comfort food. I swear, I could survive off those alone!
Disclaimer: you can not leave without getting the fried cheesecake. Covered in cinnamon and sugar and fried to perfection, it’s a real treat.
The portions are ginormous! A simple side salad was overflowing with fresh greens. A side of fries filled a full-​sized plate. Two people could feast for less than $ 20.
I love that they’re flexible and down to earth. They let us move tables around for a large group and were accommodating with tweaking orders.
Down to earth set up, affordable prices, and a polite and quirky staff make this place great. I’m giving it a 3 for now, because my first trip was less than memorable, but we’ll definitely be back to see if they continue to be as great as they were the second time around.

One of our favorite places. The crust is homemade, lots of good toppings but my favorite is the wings and fingers. We like the Asian Zest but Spicy BBQ is also a favorite. Everything is made fresh and the owner is beyond great. A great neighborhood stop for dinner or lunch

Been hearing great things about this place and decided to come check it out! Food smells amazing & customer service is awesome! Two thumbs up for sure! We will be back! Thank you!

Horrible. Ordered for my team at work. Didn’t even bring change. Sent the cook as a driver. Pizza was bland. The only thing good was the ranch.

So I was told this place has been under new owners for awhile. And I finally ordered from them to check it out.
Excellent. From the phone service to how long it took to get to our house and the taste of our food.
The pizza was good. Good portions of toppings and sauce.
We had their white pizza — as always, beware of the garlic. I love garlic.
Pepperoni half/​Sausage and black olives half — yummy. The pepperoni was slightly better.
Wings (hot) — super yummy. They weren’t over cooked, over sauced and the buffalo sauce had an excellent flavor.
Overall, we paid maybe $ 41 for a large pizza, small pizza and 10 wings. Not too shabby at all! Perfect for the nights you have guests and don’t want to cook for UFC.
I’m super happy with the change and I hope they continue to do well!

Going for the most objective review possible here. Maybe an average of 4 stars for this place means we just came on a bad day? Then again, when you’re using bread roll dough from a can to make your «garlic knots,» where can I really start?
Their self-​admitted frozen zucchini coins and mozzarella sticks (we tried the latter of the two) with premade marinara and ranch dips were probably the best things they serve. Then again, I can always grab a box from the freezer section at the store and do the same at home.
We ordered the Greek specialty pizza, which is listed on the menu as having spinach, (black) olives, feta, and mozzarella. What they fail to mention is that it’s a white pizza — one with a cream sauce instead of marinara. This made it very difficult to eat, extremely salty, unbalanced, and more like overdressed cheese bread than anything else. The crust reminded me of one you’d get from the grocery store freezer section as well.
Took the remaining pieces (there were 6 out of 8 left from our ravenous group of 3) in two small pizza boxes to give to the homeless on our way home.
I wish I could say that the price point or service was their saving grace, but that would be a lie. They open at 11am on Sundays, we came in at 2pm and the chairs were still atop all but ones of the tables. The woman who took our order seemed nice enough (this is the only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1), but is absolutely lacking knowledge about the kitchen in which she stands and was nowhere to be seen the majority of the time that we were there.
Well, they made an attempt, albeit half-​assed, at opening a hip pizza place. My tip? A little more quality and time put into making the food yourselves will go a long way. Until then, this was our first time there … and our last.

My MIL and I dropped in for lunch.
She got the 2 pizza slice special with a soda. She said it was OK, but she decided to take it home and reheat it and it tasted better the next day with the sauce sopped up into the crust. Otherwise the crust was a bit generic.
I got a stromboli with meatball. Nice sized portion and the meatballs were decent, but the crust on the bottom was a little doughy so I ate mostly what was on top. Their marinara for it was decent — not too sweet or tangy.
Decent enough spot it seems for pizza type goods, but it fell about middle of the road for me. I still havent found my near the house pizza spot just yet. Check out the board or counter for some papers with lunch specials and daily family style specials as those seem to make for a good deal.

This place was not bad at all. The staff that answered the phone were very friendly. She offered the specials and made recommendations on the menu which I appreciated. For a large 2 topping pizza and 10 wings the price was 32 and some change. I thought it was fairly steep but heard good reviews.
I got my pizza in an hour to my apartment. They quoted 45 minutes so I was not too upset. They warned me ahead of time it would be a while. The pizza was delivered fresh and hot. It was very tasty with fresh toppings. New York style pizza. The wings I would not recommend, they had this breading on them and taste like wings you heat up at the grocery store in the frozen section.
Their ranch was a unique blend and very good. I will definitely be back but will try the garlic knots. Those are supposed to be good.
My suggestion to the business, a little faster delivery and watch the price a little.

The pizza was decent, though not good enough for me to return. Pizza seems to be a VERY personal kind of food, though. :)
If you live in the area or are in the neighborhood, you should give them a try. The food quality is good for pizza, and the service is very friendly. We walked in right before closing, and no one complained or hesitated to serve us.

Service: I love the girls that work the registers they are always so nice and friendly!
Food: I can’t say much other than Yummmmmm! Pizza or calzone the food is always made to order and fast. This assures it’s hot and fresh just the way yummy food should be!!!

I was shopping at the nearby Centennial Center as I do pretty much every week and even though there are many food options within the shopping center, I was bored with those options at the moment. I decided to pull up places on the good olé Unilocal app and came across Above the Crust. It’s on Ann Rd across from Painted Desert, so not too far behind Centennial Center. Deciding to give Above the Crust a try, I stopped in and placed a order. They have so many good deals going on each day! It being Tuesday meant that I could get a large pizza free with the purchase of a large pizza and toppings an additional $ 2 each. I went with a large cheese and a large pepperoni and added a couple «Garlic Rolls» priced at .95 cents each. I really liked the taste of the pizza and the sauce on it. The rolls had a nice garlic and butter flavor on the outside, the inside was a bit too much bread that was tough. I prefer a more traditional knot personally. When I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly hello from all the employees and I was given a menu and a flyer that shows the current daily specials offered.
Sunday and Monday ($ 32.95) — Large pizza, bucket of wings, 4 garlic rolls and a 2 liter of soda.
Two for Tuesday — Buy one large pizza get one free.
Wing Wednesday (24.95) — Sampler bucket of wings, choose up to 4 flavors.
Friday Special ($ 29.95) — Large pizza and a bucket of fingers.
Stromboli Saturday ($ 17.95) — Large pizza and any stromboli.
Daily special ($ 5.95) — 2 slices and a drink.
They offer delivery and also offer sandwiches, salads and calzones.
