After Portnoy review, Denville's Cafe Crevier flooded with pizza lovers: 'It's been crazy'

Everyone is rushing over to get a crispy "bar-style" pizza at Cafe Crevier in Denville after Dave Portnoy from One Bite Pizza Reviews gave their thinny thin pizza a score of 8.5 on Thursday.

The review totally transcended the restaurant as the shop experienced a hectic yet extremely profitable weekend. Owner Brittany Crevier said the shop was mobbed with people all weekend long as her and her team prepared hundreds of pizzas over the weekend as customers lined up outside the store anxiously waiting to try the coveted pie.

"It's been crazy and overwhelming but that's been a good thing," said Crevier, who said they even had to shut down online ordering for some time on Sunday so they can give those who were dining in for Mother's Day the best experience possible.

Her partner's restaurant, Angeloni's in Caldwell, also received a high score from Portnoy back in 2020 as they received an 8.8. She worked there for over eight years and experienced a similar rush of customers when that review dropped. Portnoy reviewed the pizza weeks prior and the owner did not know when the video would be uploaded, but this time she was prepared for the madness as she has hired many new employees to handle this busy stretch of weeks. She is even getting a new pizza oven installed after the surge of hungry customers.

Portnoy reviewed the regular thinny thin but this special pizza also comes with various different toppings and specialty pies which include margherita sauce, sausage, onion, hot pepper, sweet and spicy pepperoni, hot honey and more. The Easy on the Pizzi specialty pie dedicated local pizza influencer Anthony Pizzi is one of its kind with a vodka sauce base topped with pepperoni, stracciatella, basil and Hive House honey.

Crevier would advise customers to come to the shop to come during the week and during the day if they are able to avoid the busy weekend crowds.

Cafe Crevier has been open for a year and half, but they just added pizza to the menu in February of this year. Other popular menu items include their signature pork chop that comes over Brussel sprouts, pancetta and apple compote and their Hot Vinegar chicken that comes with a breaded chicken cutlet served over cherry peppers, pancetta, mashed potatoes in a tangy vinegar sauce. Also have a popular seafood selection like with their risotto served with clamps and mussels.

The owner would describe her eatery as a bistro-style restaurant that separates itself from other classic Italian shops. They have wide selection of foods that go beyond Italian dishes such as burgers, tacos, salads and more with unique specials served on different days with an everchanging menu.
