Crest Ave Pizza & Subs

I prefer Italian style thin crust pizza. But this place is very good for Greek style pizza which I like when it is convenient. Not expensive. Cheesesteaks very good also…

The best pizza and subs in the greater East Boston area. Chicken Parm sub and Steak tip subs are incredible. I will say they are the best priced in the area too. Unfortunately, dont take credit cards, but that may account for the better prices

I’m in from So. California visiting my daughter who lives in Winthrop. We have great Mexican food but terrible pizza in SoCal so I was anxious to eat some REAL Boston pizza. I never had Italian pizza made by Greeks, but I must say Crest Ave. Pizza is the bomb! I got the BBQ chicken and honey pizza which was excellent and the prices were very reasonable also. I tried to post pics of the full menu here on Unilocal so others can see all the good things Crest Ave. serves.

FREE TWO LIDAHHH!!!
Cheapest sub you’ll find in Winthrop. Nothing extravagant, but if you’re looking for something extravagant you’re not going here.
Their menu includes all the staples you’d expect of a Boston-​Greek sub shop. No specialty items. If it’s not on their menu, but they have the ingredients, they’ll make whatever you want. Been ordering from here since ‘nam, never been disappointed.

2 for 2 in great meals. Prices are incredible. $ 5.50 for a large sub is about $ 3 cheaper than your average place around here.

When you get REALLY tired of getting food poisoned from the sub/​pizza shop in the center, you smarten up & come here. You will take home above par pizza shop fare and have extra cash in your wallet. They are quick, they get orders right and you will likely have left overs for tomorrow. Beware, they only accept cash and the place can be a madhouse at dinner time. Totally worth it though. Oh, and you get a free 2liter of soda (DIET COKE for meeee ;) with the purchase of two large subs. How could ya go wrong?

Love Crest Ave. Food is delicious and prices are very reasonable. Would recommend almost anything here. Staff is very friendly and service is fast. Downside is its cash only so go in prepared!

If you like being talked to unprofessionally and rudely because you call to ask why your order never got delivered, then you have found the perfect place. One star is being generous.

Great subs and salads. Family-​owned and very friendly. I have lived in Winthrop for over 8 years and have enjoyed many good meals at Crest Avenue.

Pros:
–Close to home
–Parking lot
–relatively quick service
–friendly staff
–Reasonable prices
Cons:
–food is about average
–Cash only
–Closed on Sundays
I enjoy their food, but compared to some of the other pizza joints around, it’s just about average.

I couldn’t say enough GREAT things about Crest Ave. Going through the other reviews you will see the experiences are varied but the FOOD IS AMAZING. The prices reflect neither lack of quality nor skimpy portions, rather the benefits of keeping true to what-​you-​do-​best.
I have not had a negative experience as far as service-​wise and my food has consistently been better than the last time or well beyond my expectations.
I whole-​heartedly recommend Crest Ave. (Their delivery time is conservative, too-don’t let it dissuade you)

The best pizza, calzone & sandwich place I’ve found! Large portions with tons of flavor and great prices! The chicken broccoli feta calzone is the best! The chicken bomb sandwich is the bomb! Our kids LOVE the honey BBQ chicken pizza and chicken fingers 3-​way sandwiches. Honestly it’s all good! Family owned! Cash only & closed sundays.

Great prices! Great food! Only downfall is they are closed on Sundays. Guess we’ll let that slide.

The food is AMAZING, and the service is just as great! I love their pizzas, and my family have been loyal customers for a long time. Delivery is fast and always on time.
The pizza is just perfect; it isn’t greasy, not too flimsy and not too stiff. Just perfect!
I give them 5/​5, they’re amazing if you ever need a filling lunch or dinner. :)

Never had a bad experience here great food every time, don’t think the mother and father need to be working there they are very rude and rush you off the phone. But all in all the food is awesome

Awesome staff! We walked in close to closing time and had two custom subs made no problem. First sub: chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, marinara and cheese. Second sub: steak and cheese, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeño poppers. Both subs were delicious! Best subs ever. Ill be back for more and highly recommend it.

Good eats here! Best pizza in town! Cash only, also it’s a small family owned business, I do tend to support small local business. Their pricing is less than other local pizza places and the do deliver also.

After a particularly taxing day of minor food poisoning, dehydration, headaches, a 5 hour flight, and coming dangerously close to blacking out in the back of the airplane, which, by the way, was really embarrassing, I wasn’t sure how my first meal in Boston was going to go down. Rather, I wasn’t sure if it was going to stay down. Fortunately for everyone, the nice people at Crest Ave. took my order, despite my disheveled and sickly appearance, and made me a small, crispy, and very delicious chicken and broccoli pizza for a super low price, which stayed down with ease. If you happen to be in Winthrop in a near death state, I can’t recommend this place enough.

This place is incredible, and I mean incredible. When I first walked in and saw the prices, I assumed the portions couldn’t be very large and the quality of the food wasn’t going to be that great. I mean, four dollar sandwiches and five dollar large pizza specials? How much substance could they really give you for that? And a menu with so many different options? How could they all be good if they don’t specialize?
And then I ordered my first chicken cutlet calzone. It came in a pizza box which surprised me. I initially thought it was just going to be a sub with dough baked around the meat instead of bread. Well, it was close enough, except it was more like an over-​sized cylindrical meat tube with tons of chicken and cheese inside. It was cut into four portions, and each individual portion was just slightly smaller than what I was expecting for my entire order. Not only that, but the ingredients taste fresh and none of the tastes are overwhelming. They complement each other instead of fighting for real estate space in your mouth.
Overall, this is probably one of the best places in terms of value and quality that I have ever been to. The people working there can seem standoffish at times, but they are a family-​owned pizza place whose purpose is to make great food, not make you feel like you’re making a new best friend every time you walk in.
I hope I can still lean out for the summer, but this place is going to make that incredibly hard to do so. If you’re new to the area, I strongly recommend going here. If you aren’t new to the area, then you already know what I’m talking about.

Crest ave is pretty awesome. They don’t take credit cards, but that means that their prices are the cheapest you will find anywhere in Winthrop. Mon-​Wed is $ 4.99 Large cheese pizza deal.
They serve good portions for cheap, are fast and yeah thats all!
