A brand-new pizza shop called Pizza Crust opened its doors this week on Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights, bringing a fresh twist to the neighborhood’s dining scene.
The shop is located at the former location of Ess & Bench, on the corner of Union Street. It’s the latest venture from Nadav Hadad, who also owns a popular pizza shop in New Haven, Connecticut.
On the menu are an array of classic and creative pizzas, from favorites like green olive, mushroom, tomato and onion, to unique options like spinach and eggplant. The shop will also serve specialty pizzas on sourdough crust, including Greek (with tomato, kalamata olives, feta cheese and za’atar), Margherita, Truffle, and Spicy Tuna (topped with kalamata olives, hard-boiled egg and a drizzle of olive oil).
For those looking for something beyond pizza, the menu will feature Falafel Pita (with hummus, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, pickles, falafel balls and tahini) and Sabich Pita (with hummus, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, pickles, hard-boiled egg and tahini).
The restaurant officially opened on Thursday, serving a limited menu. The expanded menu will be available in the near future.
The new eatery is under the kosher certification of CHK – Badatz Crown Heights.
The place renovated or made any bigger or is it the exact same size as ess’n bentch?
They offer individual slices or do you have to buy a full pie?
Individual as well
Crown heights needs a kosher authentic Indian, Thai, south Korean, and Vietnamese restaurant
That should be the priority
We need a good Shawarma spot here (like Grill Point), and also a Challah Schnitzel too won’t hurt.
They have good food and good service
Are the hours that they are open?
LOVE THIS PLACE
Also, competition is great for the consumer!
Ess ans bentch was good and good prices we don’t need more pizza we need more affordable quick good food we miss ess and bentch
I’m totally with you on this! We already have two great pizza options, what we need is more good quick options for fleishig!
house of glatt…
Too expensive…
We need a Very Juice. What’s with all the cafe/dairy restaurants opening? There are plenty others on kingston Ave.
Open a healthy juice/salad/smoothie gluten and dairy free health-food store. I would purchase daily!
They tried different types of this in Crown Heights and it never worked
There were several that have opened over the years, what happened to them?
What restaurant is going to open where gombos was?
Not totally sold on the pics, does anyone have intel on the ratio of sauce to cheese?
Could someone please provide an in-depth review? I’m curious.
Go there and do your own
We need a womens shoe store in crown hts!!!

lol, funny comment, in a food thread but to answer, there is one on Brooklyn corner Empire.
Ess and Bentch closed down?
Excuse me?
Wish they would cover the glass windows.. at least halfway..
so shouldn’t feel like I’m eating outside on the street..
With everyone passing by can see you eating.. really not comfortable.. can’t stand it..
same by many other local restaurants.. totally improper.. and uncomfortable
Are the mushroom fresh or are they the ones from tin cans?
We need 24/6 open places in CH – i want ot go out when kids are sleeping and food is done… or in general i want a cup of good coffee and yummy sushi at midnight or 1 AM… guests can eat too
