" The Upper Crust offers a unique dining experience, particularly for those seeking dairy dishes. I had their sweet potato salad, and it was something I didn't expect to love but was pleasantly surprised! I also sampled their guacamole, which was fresh but had some overripe chunks that detracted from the overall experience. The atmosphere struck me as perfect for families and friends, and overall the staff was friendly. It's a nice location that I would revisit for their innovative menu items alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mixed feelings about my meal earlier this week. The pizza I ordered was quite decent, but I felt the crust could've been crispier. I had a side of fries, which were excellent and definitely a highlight. Overall, I found the ambiance very inviting and family-friendly, which is a major plus. The service was adequate; not particularly great, but not bad either. Would I come back? Perhaps, especially since the menu has so many appealing options. " (*Curated Review*)

" One word: Delish! I’ve been to The Upper Crust a few times, and I always leave satisfied. The food is incredibly fresh and absolutely amazing. I love the atmosphere; it’s perfect for winding down or celebrating with family or friends. Service is usually great, though I did have one instance where I felt slightly ignored. Overall, I do recommend checking this place out for an unforgettable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a family gathering here, and it was fantastic. The service was prompt, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, especially with a group of our size. We had a variety of dishes that satisfied everyone's tastes. The kids enjoyed the pizza and calzones, while adults were impressed with the salads and pastas. I felt the prices were reasonable given the portion sizes. Will definitely consider returning again for future celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at The Upper Crust two weekends ago, and it was nothing short of amazing. Their menu is always evolving and keeps you wanting to come back. That night, I tried the salmon fettuccine Alfredo, and it was layered with flavors that just knocked my socks off. My partner went for the nachos, which he couldn't stop raving about! And to finish, the churros dessert was delicious, so thank goodness we decided to share since it came with three! Everything tasted so fresh and well-prepared. We also received quick service, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone in Lakewood looking for a great meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was nothing short of spectacular! The food was incredibly fresh, and the staff made us feel special. We were a large group celebrating a birthday, and my hopes for fast service were exceeded. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, creating an ideal atmosphere for our gathering. Although we spent a fair amount of money, the portion sizes were generous and worth the price. Couldn’t recommend the Upper Crust enough for group dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! I went on a Saturday night, and while it was busy, the staff handled it expertly. My friends and I tried several items including the pizza sampler and the Nutella/Oreo calzone, which were highlights of the evening. The environment is perfect for both casual eaters and special gatherings. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food, which is always a plus. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
