Upper Crust Pizzeria started its journey on the East Coast in 2001. Not to brag, but I've been a fan since 2016 when they opened their restaurant in Los Angeles. They've been delivering the magic of freshest ingredients since then and trust me, they do serve the best pizza in town. The restaurant has this modern design that's chic and appealing with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs in action. Besides their exclusive pizzas, they also serve salads and desserts (the tiramisu made my heart skip a beat).
When is Upper Crust Open?
Upper Crust opens at 11 am daily and remains open until 9:30 pm. On Saturdays though, they extend their timings till 10:30 pm, while Sundays are generally kept for recharging their pizza ovens. They keep their doors open on most holidays, except New Year's Eve, Independence Day, and Halloween - unless when these holidays fall on a weekday (smart move Upper Crust!).

Freshness Check at Upper Crust
Upper Crust is a stickler for fresh ingredients, and I was impressed to see they prepare and bake every pizza fresh. All their ingredients have the stamp of highest quality without any canned or frozen items in their midst.

What Sets Upper Crust Apart?
Well, let's start with their crust - it’s uniquely thin and crispy, yet substantial enough to hold the generous toppings, far from the generic cardboard-taste ones. Add to it their variety in toppings and sauces catering to every pizza craving. With options encompassing gluten-free crusts to vegan cheese, you just can't go wrong here.

Yes, the best part of Upper Crust’s customer-friendly approach is their FREE delivery for all orders. Plus, you can even track your delivery in real-time on their website. Perfect for days when you're too busy to step out or are eagerly awaiting an important call, right?
Does Upper Crust make their own dough?
This one's the secret behind their perfect crust – they prepare their dough fresh every morning. Made from organic wheat flour and water with a pinch of salt added for flavor. Now that’s what sets them apart!
Upper Crust’s Cooking Style
All Upper Crust pizzas bake in an artisan stone deck oven, which lends their pizza that distinctive, crispy yet moist feel. The ovens use only infrared heating from the 600-degree stone deck. Now, that's some serious pizza love!

Are there vegan options?
Upper Crust nails it in this aspect too. You can substitute vegan cheese for dairy cheese on your pizza. While weird for some, topping combinations like spicy peanut sauce with sweet red peppers, BBQ sauce with tofu pieces, or hummus with spinach have delighted many (including yours truly!).
