Lean Crust

I don’t know what people are talking about saying they had the best vegan pizza here but I maybe wrong or went to the wrong place. The pizza taste like a thin toasted piece of bread with American cheese on it. It was so hard to take it in. My wife and I had one slice (not each) of the extra large and she could take it anymore. I try to eat another but I was forcing myself. Pizza should never taste like American cheese, vegan or not. I just put the rest in the freezer, maybe I will stay in there long enough that I forgot it and have to throw it away or I look for a recipe to use it in to make it taste edible. The reason I don’t really want to just throw it away is because of the price I paid it was $ 28. I know it was not going to be cheap but my issue is the menu. Instead of them telling you on the menu how much it cost they just say add $ 3 or add $ 5 or add $ 7. First to what, second why don’t you just say $ 28 for extra large.
O let me not forget the reason why I’m giving a star is because the cashier is very nice and friendly both on the phone and in person. She gets a big star.

Two words: blurgh, blehck! When our pizza arrived, it looked as though a male witch (warlock?) had ejaculated in a swirl across it– tasted like it too. How they had the gall to call that green stuff, «pesto» is beyond me. The crust was also unbearably dry yet chewy – the best comparison I can make is «croûton jerky.» Just save yourself the damage to your wallet and stomach, and order elsewhere. I thought there wasn’t such a thing as bad pizza. Lean Crust proved me very wrong.

The pizza here is great. They offer some delicious options via delivery which aren’t usually available by the slice. The only thing that really bothers me is that if you order delivery the delivery guy is too lazy to actually bring the pizza to your door (you know, like every other restaurant in the city) and instead will call you and ask you to come downstairs to get it from him. On the bright side, you get to see the dismayed look on the jerk’s face when you then stiff him on the tip!

Their pizza slice is par superb, I was more impressed by the garlic knots, which seemed to be just the right amount of baked to be soft in the middle, with a generous portion of garlic and oil that made eating them effortless.

I’ve lived in Fort Greene for six years but usually order pizza from Clinton Hill (Graziella’s or Emily’s.or I trek to Speedy Romeo’s in Bedstuy). I live just down the block and thought I’d try Lean Crust after reading favourable reviews and liking their menu. I should add, I am six months pregnant and haven’t been ill or had a food related illness save shellfish allergies before now.
I ordered a large pizza and had two slices for dinner and chalked up my queasy stomach to tiredness and having an off day. I spent a portion of my evening in the bathroom and thought it was ‘evening sickness’.
The next day I didn’t feel well, but had an appetite so I heated up two more slices and was violently ill a short while later. I’m lucky it wasn’t worse– I heaved my entire stomach contents and felt lethargic and nauseous for the rest of the day. Stuff happens. I write this because i called Lean Crust to ask if maybe the batch of goat cheese on my pizza was off… the restaurant said the manager was not available and insisted it couldn’t have been their pizza that made me ill. I called today and got someone else who was polite but offered the same insistence and disbelief. Never again.

This is some of the best pizza in New York. Get the margherita and be amazed by a beautiful amalgamation of flavors. The cheese, sauce, spices, and thin crust combine for a delightfully light yet deliciously sumptuous flavor!
If you are in the neighborhood do not miss it!

Please do not get the calamari from here. It’s flavorless and tastes like cardboard. I’ve always gotten the mushroom pizza and wings which are pretty good. But the calamari sucks.

I took shelter from the rain while eating pizza. It was quick and yummy. Thanks pizza.

This is your typical no-​frills pizza place with good pricing and some really excellent toppings, like the mutli-​mushroom pizza with truffle oil slice for only 3 $.
I cannot complain, and I think the prices are more than fair.

I am a fan of their pizza, but that’s about it.
The guy I talked to behind the counter didn’t have any answers to my questions about making pies vegan and which slices were already vegan. He had to ask someone else. Not sure if it was a language barrier or if he just didn’t know. If he didn’t know, someone should let him know so the business can run smoothly and not discourage customers.
The prices were really high, too. Two slices of vegan veggie pizza for almost $ 11. Yup, you read that right. It probably would’ve been more worth it to order a small pie for $ 14, but I couldn’t finish it all. But, the pizza was good, so I will give it that. The crust held up to the abundance of veggies (zucchini, carrot, eggplant, etc.) that were piled on. The amount of cheese (probably Daiya from the texture) was just enough to not overpower anything.
Overall, a solid slice, but not something I would eat too frequently because of how expensive it is.

Should be called «Not Real NY Pizza», bland, soft, hippie shit. I’m guessing they are leaning towards the health conscious individuals. I am all about health food that taste good, otherwise I’m wasting my calories for something undesirable. I had the plain slice, thin crust but did not hold any crispness, tasted chewy and bland. Added garlic and olive oil, that helped a bit. It was a waist… But now Brooklyn has a Artichoke pizza and I will waste my calories there.

Now that I live within the delivery zone, I am BEYOND excited. I have already had it twice in 2 days – don’t judge me, I just moved and still don’t have a microwave or a working stove so it’s justified!
Anyway, I love that they offer a home made gluten free crust (not the pre made frozen one size crust other pizza places sell) and have different sizes. The crust is thin, crispy and a perfect amount of chewy.
The toppings are always fresh and NOT skimped on. My go to is veggies with spicy Italian sausage and they include mushrooms (two types), green, red and yellow bell peppers, and broccoli. They are super generous in the toppings which make every bite a celebration for your tastebuds.
They have dairy free daiya cheese which is a super plus for my stomach. The best part is they charge a standard $ 3 more per pizza for vegan and GF instead tacking on two charges. On top of that, the woman who has taken my order twice is super sweet!!! I am in love with this place and will always be a fan!

Arrived in the last hour before close. The kitchen closes 1 hour before the place closes… what the hell. It didn’t matter bc I wanted to try a «lean» pizza slice as I was walking by. Idk if lean means toasted or well done or cooked crispy, but that was what myself and my fiancée got. However, the slices were very good. I got the dairy free slice and she got the cheese with ricotta. Good place of your in the neighborhood, but I wouldn’t take a train across the city like I do to go to Vinnies in Williamsburg.

I ordered lasagna for myself, rigatoni for my partner, and spaghetti with meatballs for my daughter. They enjoyed their food but my lasagna was something else. It seemed like it would have tasted good if I could actually eat it. The lasagna noodles were literally burnt together. There was no way of cutting thru it. Both top and bottom were burned. I’m not sure if it was old and it was reheated and forgot about in the oven but I’m mad. I was really looking forward to having a nice meal. The 2 stars are for my partner and daughter’s food.

As a Chicagoan, I’m not allowed to praise the pizza of other places — especially east coast cities…
…but Lean Crust’s arugula pizza is heavenly. I nearly wept.

I’m going to say this has to be the BEST Gluten-​Free pizza in America.
Why, because they have so many flavorful options and GF Vegan, GF Non-​vegan. You can’t beat it and it keeps the BROOKLYN pizza taste! and GF by the SLICE, WHAT!!!
I’ve had GF pizza at some top pizza establishments in NYC and they taste more like science than pizza. Plus you can’t get GF slices at most places you have to buy the entire science project and it’s never worth it! These guys have GF locked-​in and I wish they would open more and more locations.
That is all…

The place itself is clean with an A rating. One thing that sets them apart is the option of non-​refrigerated water (my preference).
I had the vegan pizza which has unlimited toppings (mushrooms, broccoli, peppers, pumpkin, & spinach) all for the same price! It was flavorful and filling which is not always the case with a veggie option.
Their refreshment selection is quite limited (they have 2 flavors of Perrier)

I don’t even remember the last time I had a slice of pizza before I came here.
I went to NYC for a trip, and I was determined to find a solid gluten-​free pizza joint. I don’t love pizza like the average person seems to, but I definitely missed it a little. It seemed like a worthwhile pursuit to take whilst in the big city.
Lean Crust was exceptional. I ordered two quite massive slices on the quinoa crust. One had just vegetable toppings, and the white pizza with chicken. The texture was perfect — I didn’t feel like I was missing anything with the gluten-​free option at all. It was perfectly crispy and it held together well.
For the giant slices you get, the price is right.

Perfection in gluten free pizza. If you are searching for good gluten free pizza search no more — lean crust is the BEST. I’ve tried very few gluten free pizza options in NYC that can come close to Lean Crust. The first time I tried this place I honestly thought they made me a mistake and sent me regular pizza boy was I happy when I found out it’s just that good.
Wings are good too. The only thing I’m bummed about is that there aren’t Lean Crusts all over NYC!!! I want Lean Crust everyday!!!

I have traveled far and wide in this world searching and trying my favorite food item: PIZZA. Every kind, even deep into southern Italy’s oldest pizzerias, Brooklyn, NYC and beyond… and this is GREAT sliced pizza!
Now to me, all types of pizza can be great. This type is something of a rarity, as they have gluten free, soy cheese as well as salad style pizzas and regular nyc pizza.
I am having the amazing salad pizza and am thrilled and stunned i haven’t stopped by here ever before! The staff is fast, friendly and owner is a lovely local person…
Very happy and highly recommended!
