Upper Crust is a popular, Kosher Italian restaurant. We opened our doors in the Cedarhurst neighborhood in March 2012, and the pace hasn’t stopped swinging. Nestled between a bank and a stationary store right in the middle of Central Avenue, Upper Crust is a perfect lunch spot upon completing your errands.

The owner decided to open up this upper-class pizza store as a change from the regular fast food venues. With a pizza maker from Sicily and the head chef from Verona, a city near Milan, you are guaranteed high-quality authentic Italian cuisine. Their modern decor featuring classy booths to regular seating options with paintings and mirrored walls will enhance the fine dining experience.

Upper Crust’s pizza is currently the first and only kosher brick oven-style pizza available in Cedarhurst, NY,  and they offer many different selections. The “Melanzana,” made with eggplant Milanese, fire-roasted tomato, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil, is suitable for just about anyone. There’s the “Santa Fe,” which is made with spicy marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepper jack, taco crumble, ricotta, and jalapeno peppers, an option that will knock your socks off.

The ingredients are always fresh, and there’s plenty of personal attention for your every order- so you will feel that your pizza has been designed just for you. While pizza is the main staple at the restaurant, Upper Crust’s menu has an array of all fine Italian dishes. Tease your palate with Mac and Cheese Bite, already a favorite appetizer, or some unique salad dishes, including a freshly cut “Roasted Beet Salad,” comprised of arugula leaves, romaine, roasted beet, roasted pear, shaved feta, toasted almonds, drizzled with a shallot dijon vinaigrette. The pasta dishes smell divine, and your diet can’t go wrong with Whole Wheat Pasta Primavera, with angel hair zucchini, carrot, yellow squash, parsnip, roasted garlic, olive oil, and a touch of butter. With an affordable dining opportunity, The Upper Crust takes dining in today’s day to a whole new level.
