Delicious authentic Italian food! The pizza transports you to Italy with the brick oven style oven! Everything is high quality! It’s BYOB and the Nip is next door too!

I just ordered a margherita pizza and an eggplant/burrata sandwich. Both were unbelievably delicious.The sandwich is huge and the sandwich bread was perfect. I was googling Italian sandwiches near me, found the link and watched a review from Meg’s Things. Sold. My order was to go but the place is spotless with very friendly staff. We will be back very soon. Byob.

I recently dined at Just The Crust on Norwood Avenue in Long Branch, and it was an absolute delight! Every bite showcased the quality and care that goes into their food.
The salad we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced—a great way to start the meal.
As for the pizzas, they were nothing short of perfection. The classic cheese pizza hit all the right notes with its crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese. The highlight for me, though, was the “Johnny P” pizza, where all the ingredients worked together seamlessly.
We also tried “The Chip” sandwich, and it was hands down the best sandwich I’ve ever had! The bread was perfectly soft and crunchy, creating an unforgettable texture and taste experience.
The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Just The Crust is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Neapolitan pizzas and more in the area. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!

While not the most convenient location, the food was worth the effort. I love good pizza and this is good pizza. Quality ingredients, well-prepared. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her salad and she loves a good salad. We were there for a weekday lunch, and strangely had the place to ourselves.

I held off on reviewing Just The Crust after our first visit, thinking it might have been a fluke. I was wrong! Our second meal was even better. This place is a gem and wonderful addition to the neighborhood.
There’s a charming, intimate vibe. The service is personal, and the quality of the ingredients is undeniable.
We enjoyed delicious salads and pizzas both times, and watching the chefs work their magic in the open kitchen, including that wood-fired oven, is a real treat.
Just The Crust is a must-visit! We can’t wait to go back.

Amazing pizza! I got the margarita pizza and ate the entire thing in one sitting. Zesty sauce, fresh herbs, and a perfectly done crust! Catered to the vegetarian, vegan, and food allergy in our party. Even made a note of the allergens on the receipt! Cute place and great service!

Just the Crust smelled amazing from the second you walk in as the brick oven is the centerpiece of the restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better. The pizza has an airy dough with the perfect crunch. My favorite part is you can see the chefs prepare and cook your dish right in front of you. Just the Crust provides a unique Italian experience that is definitely worth a visit.

Had a wonderful late lunch here today! The espresso martini was on point! We got wings, pizza and a sandwich to share and it was all delicious. The staff were professional, warm and super inviting! Can’t wait to return!

We got the Caesar salad, chicken wings, and margerita pizza and everything was excellent. Caesar dressing was perfect and they even offer anchovies to top it; chicken wings had a surprising sweetness to it – very well seasoned on a bed of arugula salad; pizzas are wood fired and came out exquisitely
Service was quick, friendly and professional.
Also they partner with the bar and grill next door so you can order drinks – the hazelnut old fashioned from Nip N Tuck was generous with the liquor and truly hit the spot
Will be back again soon!

Delicious pizza. Got onion, garlic, mushrooms. Flavor and crust were amazing. I think I would ask for less cheese next time. Just felt like too much fresh moz for me. But overall great pizza and pleasant experience
