Golden Crust Pizzeria

Amazing beer selection, the calzone I ate melted in my mouth, & great atmosphere.

Oh... and Did I mention and AMAZING selection of beer?? Cause it is..

Party! Pizza Party!
What, I ask you, is better than a pizza party?

A pizza party packed to the gills with runners!
Cool athletic people, looking to connect, compete and share training tips over carbs and beer.  
Just off the Kedzie brown line station with a full bar and late close time. Sweet.
Not the best pizza in Chicago, truth, but speedy, hot and available for parties with a full bar. Met a lot of cool people, the service was swift and this made it a fun party.

I know this place has been in the neighborhood for years, but the newly revamped Golden Crust is a much needed addition to Albany Park.   The inside is very well done, but it's a bit loud and has way too many TVs.  I'm most excited for the outdoor patio come spring!  

They have 40 beers on tap, and an even more extensive list of beers available by the bottle.  The pizza is good,  the Caprese salad is mouthwatering, the Italian beef is divine, and the burger is just ok.  There's not much else on the dine in menu, but I'm sure more options will be added as time goes on.  

I think things were a bit rough with service at the beginning, but give them some time to adjust and it will be great. My husband and I have been several times since the remodel (and order delivery occasionally) and the staff have remembered us from previous visits.  The owner, Jimmy, can also frequently be found mingling and getting to know the customers.

Golden Crust will be a neighborhood destination for years to come, and will hopefully attract people back to the area to enjoy all the other great restaurants in the hood.  Besides, where else can you find $4.50 craft beers in the city?
