Name of restaurant: Craft and Craft Pizza Tavern in Remington, Virginia
Date of visit: Thursday, April 21, 2022
Star rating: ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ out of 5
We recently had lunch together at the Craft and Crust Pizza Tavern located at 204 East Main Street, Remington, Virginia 22734. We arrived around 11:45 thinking we’d beat the lunch crowd. It's a fairly new restaurant and seems to have been widely accepted in the community by their Facebook page. They serve brick oven pizza, along with antipasti, subs, salads, and a kid's menu. Also, local craft beer.
When we arrived at the location, the parking was readily available on the street. I’m sure on the weekends that would be a problem as the parking on the street is minimal. They have outdoor seating in the front of the building for those who want to enjoy eating outside. CCPT takes up one-half of the building and I believe they are working on adding an extra dining area in the vacant half of the building.
We walked in and noticed their special of the day board. We weren’t sure whether to wait for a waitress to be seated so we just grabbed a table. The dining area is roomy with farm art on the walls. They had a few TVs on the wall for those sports TV watchers. The kitchen is open in the back and in the front window area is where they have karaoke and live music on the weekends. They had music playing and was not too loud, which is a nice change because most restaurants have music playing and you can hardly hear yourself talk much less others in your party.
After waiting a few minutes, the waitress came to our table, gave us paper menus, and took our drink order. I wasn't too thrilled with the way the menus looked, maybe they can put them in a plastic sleeve to make them look more presentable, especially if they make changes often. She offered us the weekly special which was a personal pan cheese or pepperoni pizza along with a side salad.
We noticed right away the special pizzas named after the local towns in Fauquier County. What a fabulous tribute to the area.
They do offer gluten-free pizza for an extra charge. The prices for a pizza run from $16 on up. The sandwiches are under $15. The kid's menu items seem pricey at $8. I'm sure if that includes a drink.
We waited for about 10-15 minutes for our food. Cathy decided on the Crispy Chicken Parmesan Sandwich with red sauce and Sidewinder Fries. Both were very tasty. She had never had those fries before and she really enjoyed them.
Rhonda chose the weekly special. A huge side salad came out first with lots of fresh veggies and Ken’s pouch dressing. The pizza was crispy on the edges with cheesy pepperoni goodness.
I decided on the C & C Smash Burger with fries. The burger was topped with cheddar cheese, onions, tomato, pickle, and their special sauce. It was a very good burger and I would have it again. The fries were sidewinder fries that reminded me of steak fries but in a curly fashion. They were meaty and with just the right amount of seasoning. The meal was more than enough, I couldn't eat all the fries, what a pity.
All in all, it was a good experience. You can check them out on Facebook or on their website. You can order online starting at 11am. It doesn't look like they have delivery but you can order and pick it up.
