The Just Crust

I love the Just Crust! My favorite thing to get is the beet salad, which is always fresh and delicious, and has the most amazing pistachio vinaigrette that I would happily drink with a straw. I’ve also gotten the pizza delivery many times, and it always comes on time and with the correct order (unlike many other pizza places in the square). They use local ingredients, and you can eat with a happy conscience knowing they treat their staff well.

I’m a fan of their Cheese pizza. I usually get one slice — and it’s huge, enough to fill me up! They also give student discounts when you show your student ID. There isn’t much seating (two tables that could fit 4 – 5 people each, but I’ve never found it difficult to find a seat when I wanted to. Convenient location in Harvard Square, close to the T too.

Excellent pizza! Even though they talked us out of getting two large pizzas for two people (we were planning to take some home, don’t judge!), and offered split one large half 4 Verdure without cheese, and half Formaggi.
Cheese half: high quality cheeses.
Vegetable half: generous vegetables and good sauce, and a hot oil available that made it all hit the spot.

Great little pizza place in the heart of Cambridge! Had literally 15 minutes in which to eat and preferably to have a glass of wine before catching a show, and this spot was perfect. I got the Funghi pizza and my friend got the 4 Formaggi, and I also had a glass of red sangria. It’s some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, honestly, and the serving was large for the price. Would definitely come back here if I were in the area!

The staff was friendly, and the pizza was fast and tasty. I probably are too much. We got the funghi w/​o cheese. The crust is nice and thin and flavorful. Crisp without being burned. Watching the guy make the pizza, it’s clear that he knows how to handle dough!

This is the best pizza ever! I love pizza and I can say that this place make best Neapolitan in Boston area. I took a picture but sorry there is only One piece left in that tray because I couldn’t wait, I had to eat!

Pizza is delicious, and I would love to go again. I really love the fact that justice was served at this place, and believe me justice tastes great… I really hope who ever handles my pizza slice to put on a glove before handling my slice. My pizza slice was touched without gloves. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again, and I definitely recommend this place. Keep up the good work.

Best pizza in the square! Value isn’t quite there, but you can get a huge 18″ pizza for about $ 20.
The sauce is incredible. It’s a bit garlicky but the first bite is always mind-​blowing. The pizza is NYC-​style and better than Otto’s (unless you like burnt crusts for some reason). Noch’s doesn’t compare. Cambridge 1 is a different vibe, though The Just Crust has just as many great options that are a bit more adventurous than classic cheese or pepperoni.
They’ve also got really interesting beers and wines. Big fan of the selection from Jack’s Abbey and Berkshire Brewing Co.

Okayish pizza, though the sizing options are kind of awkward — the large pizzas are seriously huge, and it’s difficult to get anything that’s reasonably personally sized. The salads are mediocre.
The atmosphere/​seating is somewhat substandard — they have a TV running right next to the only group table. I had to turn the TV off in order for us to be able to enjoy our meals.

Good pizza, bad vibes…
I came in for a slice around 7pm and it was eerily quiet. Service was slow, but eventually one of the guys making pizza turned around and took my order.
One cheese slice set me back nearly $ 4, but the nice guy who took my order said the slices were sizable.
As I was waiting, there was one other party in the room, also waiting for their food. Somehow four employees couldn’t serve either of us in less than 10 minutes, and the manager was incredibly rude towards the guy who took my order — criticizing the way he put the slices in the oven, and even throwing them out. I wanted to say something but ended up just tipping the guy who took my order as he handed me my slice.
Although I was very turned off by the atmosphere inside, the pizza itself was delicious. Thin and flexible with a good balance of cheese and sauce. Crust was on the verge of crispy. Were it not for the service, the Just Crust would have earned at least 4 stars in my book.

Amazing pizza for a good price. Sangria is delicious. Salads are also all great, but my fave is the one with beets, pistachios, and goat cheese (the dressing is to die for).
Their lunch special one of the best I’ve ever seen offered and fantastic for the square. You can get a slice of pizza, a salad, and a fountain drink for $ 7/​8, if you work in the square, they give an extra discount. It’s a lot of food because the slices are large and the «half» salad is still pretty big, but it’s a great balance of veggies and filling, fresh pizza!
Staff is also very nice!
Only negatives is that there’s not a ton of indoor seating, but I’ve never had a problem with this. Just be aware that if you come during the lunch rush, there won’t be seating for a group, most likely.

What a hidden gem!!! It took me a year of walking past this unassuming place to finally go in and try it for dinner.
Best. Decision. Ever. Their margarita pizza was so good it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it (pizza makes me emotional. Don’t judge). To extra fatty out, my boyfriend and I also split their vegetarian pasta dish, mostly to make the meal «healthy.» Also ridiculously good.
Another plus? They can serve booze! Take that, other 90% of pizza places in Boston.
I almost dont even want to review this place because I’ll be so sad if my spot gets blown up all of a sudden, but I can’t keep the secret any longer.
So really. Go here.

So I’ve been here twice for a quick cheap lunch and it doesn’t disappoint! Slices are 2 in 1 (HUGE!) so only order one unless you’re really hungry. I’ve had the marguerita slice which is only 3.75 (remember it’s 2 in 1… like the size of a place) and the veggie with was spinach, carmalized onions and ricotta. Both great.
They also serve many sandwiches and pastas (from 10 – 15 bucks) and have a small beer and wine selection. It’s a small place. Only a few tables and a bar set up. And they give free water… which idk why but it’s the best friggin water I’ve ever tasted lol

We came in accidentally 10 minutes before close but you wouldn’t have known due to excellent, friendly service and hot, delicious pizza and pasta! Quality and fresh ingredients, unforgettable experience!!!

Great pizza! I had a slice of their margherita pizza which was on special and a pellegrino, sat at a high top bar table to eat it – very good. So much better than what this place used to be, the pizza tastes delicious. Great crust, awesome sauce, and cheese. I am so happy to have The Just Crust in the square!

Pizza is in a bad sort these days… Grab a slice anywhere and its been displayed in a window for probably 10 hours or so. Then you have the native Greek pizza, which is really grilled cheese with plenty of oil and zero sauce. Its not really our native food in Boston
So Just Crust is a pleasant surprise. JC is a smallish place with a community table, a booth and a bar set up. They could probably utilize the space better, but at the end of the day most people take out
The service was really good. Mike (AKA Royce to his friends) was really helpful, and we ordered the Margerita pizza. Its a classic red pizza. Classic everywhere but in this town
The pizza was excellent, because it was indeed a classic red pizza. The crust was super thin with a robust sauce and light on the cheese… almost the reverse from what you would expect in this city.
So if you like a classic pizza with thin crust, JC is worth a visit. Great find on Brattle street just outside Harvard Square

Excellent pizza place for thin crust pizza lovers. The place is really a small take out with a couple of tables but even so it’s quiet and relaxed, overall a nice place to go. The pizza is light, made with fresh ingredients.

Delicious, fresh pizza. Prices were average and service excellent. The basil was fresh and tasteful and the cheese was stretchy and delicious. The pizza was crispy, thin, large and absolutely amazing. The food selection was above average and the music and setting were great too.

Yum! Super thin crust (not quite at the New Haven level) but still thin. I had the veggie slice of the day and it was delicious. This is thin crust style so it’s exactly like that – other reviewers seem to be comparing it to non-​thin crust pizza.
I came at an off time and there was plenty of space to do my work. Friendly staff.
Love this place (more than Otto which is also in the area).

I paid no more than $ 10.17 for a slice of veggie pizza, a beet salad, and a Perrier. A pretty sweet deal! I love thin crust pizza. The crust was perfect and the veggies fresh. I’d need to try a classic margherita or something with tomato sauce on it before I really review the pizza.
I love beets and always order dishes with beets in it every chance I get. The heaps of bright, fresh, juicy, beautifully cut beets were surprising on my salad. A feast for the eyes and definitely a feast for my taste buds! Locally sourced indeed! They were definitely the best beets I’ve had… ever. I hope this place consistently delivers that quality of freshness and taste. I find that salad places never offer enough beets and found that Just Crust was more than generous. The pistachios were a nice change from my usual beets, goat cheese and walnuts combination and I enjoyed that it was a pistachio dressing — you don’t need a lot of it because the ingredients are fresh and full of flavor already.
The place was half full at a late lunch hour and my friend and I easily snagged a table. The service was very friendly and very fast — bonus since we were on a time crunch. The vibe of the place was casual and fun. A must try place — I’ll definitely be coming back here!
