Fantastic happy hour menu and prices, including food and drink. The happy hour cocktails were delicious and not just run of the mill. The wood-fired oven is there for all to see (and generate heat) and put out great charred New Haven style pizza. As a pizza snob, I was very impressed. With the happy hour start that we had, the dinner was unbelievably affordable. The place has a nice vibe, and as it filled up, so did the noise level. The interior is largely wood - walls, floors, and tables all made from a similar wood, allowing sound to bounce across the room. The place felt vibrant! I will absolutely be back at Krust.

Kiyah is an amazing server! Food was delicious and so were the drinks. However, the High West Campfire bourbon tasted absolutely horrible; almost as if something else had been previously in the glass. However, the old fashioned and the honey habanero highball were phenomenal. The service and the food and great happy hour specials will bring me back!

I thought the gluten free pizza was excellent. It was Saturday night with a full restaurant so it was a bit noisy. Mixed drinks were great too. Would definitely recommend.

Great place for excellent, high quality, and reliable food and drinks in a warm setting. They were gracious enough to accommodate us as our party grew despite being homecoming/parents/alumni weekend. Thank you for supporting a strong and welcoming community vibe.

The pizza at this place was fantastic. Drinks however were just 'eh', and service was awful. We barely got checked on, and needed to wait a long time to order and to ask for things. We would probably do take out the next time.
