A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

 

Looking for a way to beat the heat? Stop in to Crush Pizza for some housemade gelato. Unlike those touristy places nearby, Crush makes all of their flavors fresh, using only premium ingredients.

See my original post on Crush here. The State Street location is owner Tony Naser’s second location – the flagship store is in Nashua, NH.

Crush serves up authentic Neapolitan pies – my favorite is the Toscano.

The pizzas are cooked in a 900 degree oven, it only takes 90 seconds for it to be fully cooked!

Check out the amazing ovens!

Back to the gelato. Crush has 18 seasonal, rotating flavors. Above is the Lemon Grisbi (flavored with Italian cookies with the same name).

I mixed it up with a scoop of strawberry and a scoop of dark chocolate!! So amazing! The strawberry tastes so fresh and the dark chocolate is decadent. Add the two together for a winning combination. I was there two days in row getting this gelato.

As I mentioned before, Naser makes these all in house and the flavors range from classic dark chocolate and strawberry to flavors like avocado (it was delicious and creamy) and fresh mango. Pictured above is the stracciatella, similar to chocolate chip, but with ribbons of chocolate.

The Americhino Cherry  (specifically imported from a select region in Italy).

The oreo.

Reese’s (Crush makes their own peanut butter gelato then add the Reese’s).

M&M.

Naser plans on remodeling the front entrance with an accordion style window that will allow customers to walk up and order gelato to go. The small (two scoops) starts at $3.25, medium (three scoops) at $4.25, and the large (four scoops) hails at $5.25.
