Cafe Crevier

"After seeing photos of Cafe Crevier’s delicious-looking thin crust pizza online, I decided to place a takeout at 2 o’clock on a Saturday. I got a “Thinny Thin” pie and sicilian pie, and, after fees and taxes, the total came to $50. When I received the pizza, I was disappointed to find that both pies were beyond well done; they were burnt. I reached out to the pizza middle-man (Slice) who contacted the restaurant. The manager apparently told Slice “we got our pizza oven a week ago and that’s how the pizza is supposed to look”. After sending Slice photos which were shared with Cafe Crevier (I assume), the restaurant denied a refund and we were stuck with $50 worth of completely burnt pizza. Before throwing it away, my family and I tasted the thin crust and Sicilian to see if it tasted as bad as it looked. The thin crust, as predicted, tasted like it had been in the oven a few minutes too long. The cheese was hard and dried out like a solid piece of rubber, just like a slice of leftover pizza you put in a toaster oven to reheat and then forget about until it has cooled down and hardened. The underside of the pizza was golden and not at all burnt and the edge was toasty and crisp, as advertised. The cheese alone was the issue as if they had broiled it because the bottom was so thin and fragile. The sicilian’s crust was black and tasted as burnt as it looked. It was also surprisingly bland towards the center where the crust wasn’t charred. Neither the cheese nor the sauce made up for the burn crust. It was a complete disappointment. The pizza was by and large inedible. For the first time in my life, I threw almost two entire pizzas in the garbage and started over with a new order from another restaurant. I understand there may be a learning curve with a new pizza oven, but I do think there is a difference between “well-done”/“crispy” (which I like in a pizza) and burnt. A restaurant who claims to make their pizza “well-done” needs to tread that line carefully or else they’ll wind up with a lot of disappointed customers like my family and me. If I’m wrong and this is in fact what Cafe Crevier intended to deliver, I hope future customers will find this review to understand how their pizza “is supposed to look” before they order."

"Definitely was skeptical going in but everything was unbelievably fantastic! My wife and I both agreed that the salad was one of the best we’ve had all year. I had the scallops and clams over black linguine which Was the best meal I’ve had in a long time While dining out. The service was awesome, the food was so so good and that’s coming from someone that goes out to dinner minimally two times per week. Dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had! No I do not know the owners or am not related in fact Just a local businessman from a few towns away. Absolutely just perfect, don’t forget to bring your own and bring extra because we ran out!"

"Awesome bar pies here. 10 out of 10 will be coming here again. Super friendly staff too. Not sure why their pizza isn't on the menu, but they got it!"

"This place is a hit! A great addition to our Downtown Denville! They offer amazing food choices, dessert choices and coffee. It is BYOB, which we love! The restaurant is modern, upbeat and social. Our food was delicious, every part of it. The rice balls were our favorite, along with the calamari. We had the chicken parm also which was amazing!"

"Such a cool place to eat! They were getting ready to host a baby shower (see video) but it did not slow down their service at all. I think our waiter checked on us about every 5 minutes or so while we were there. The beef short rib tacos were amazing! They were fairly small, but delicious. My wife got a short rib pasta dish, and I ordered chicken parm. Both were delicious and both meal sizes were fairly standard... not too big nor too small. For dessert my wife ordered the crumb cake. It tasted very fresh and not overly sweet, but just sweet enough to be paired with a nice cup of coffee. I saw that they had gelato, so I ordered a cookies and cream cone. One of the best cookies and cream I've ever tasted, hands down. I would go back to this place just for the gelato alone, but everything was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit... highly recommend this place!"
