Pizzeria

Bellevue

About the restaurant

The Cork N Crust Pizzeria and Wine bar is located in the Bellevue Entertainment District close to cute shops, pubs, and restaurants. There are umbrella tables out front for outdoor dining as well as cozy couches on the back patio...the perfect spot to enjoy the "Big Reds" or one of the other wine flights, a charcuterie board, and our Chef's Famous Mozzarella. Recognized as one of the top 10 new Cincinnati restaurants by CityBeat readers...Cork N Crust features over 20 wines available by the glass, a great selection of wines from all over the world, and a full bar. The Crust Old Fashioned is a local favorite, and the "Cork's Coolers" are perfect on a warm day. The Specialty Pizzas are the main attraction...the "best" is a matter of opinion, but the "Bellevue" and "The "Chardonnay" run head to head each week to be the top seller. The Cork N Crust also has a Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free Menu.

Took about 5 minutes to be acknowledged at the door. Once seated the waitress was attentive. Food was good, but the menu has downsized from past visits. They were out of preferred beverage so just had water

Pleasant greeting and clean place. Our server was nice and food served in timely manner. The food was really good and fresh. Seasoned just right. We try different places around town and vote rather we'd go back again and this is a definite yes.

The concept of Asian Cajun Fusion intrigued us, so we made reservations knowing this was the former Joe’s Crab Shack. First impression wasn’t great-the outside desperately needed weeding and some landscaping. We were seated immediately, but despite letting them know on the reservation it was our anniversary, we were seated closely between two occupied tables. At 5:30 the restaurant was fairly empty. In the larger room there was a tv showing the Reds game, but the smaller room where we were seated had nothing-no tv, no music. On the good side, our waitress was lovely-friendly, personable. I got a seafood boil, my husband got the pho. Both were delicious, and fairly priced. I ordered a Pinot Grigio, it was served warm. Will we go back-probably not.
