The Crushed Tomato: Experience Flavorful Dining in LaFayette, GA

Our initial visit had some serious downsides — mainly our mysteriously unfriendly waitress. However, two subsequent visits dispelled much of that with different wait staff. They added alcoholic beverages, which is a nice upgrade. It’s a family environment. I will say the wait service could still be improved a bit (a bit more professional and typical of a restaurant maybe?). The pizza is generally quite tasty, just watch what you order (maybe skip the barbecue — also tasty — unless you have a strong stomach). The atmosphere is somewhat lacking due to poor lighting from the large front windows and seating toward the back would be nice if not for the uncontrolled noise from the kitchen. If it were my restaurant, I’d consider trying to improve the creaking bouncy floors, artfully covering those bare windows and adding ambiance lighting and mood to the place.

OMG! For my first time eating at The Crushed Tomato in LaFayette, GA it was an awesome experience!! Our server, Gracie was wonderful! Top notch food and service. The restaurant was very clean and the style was just down right cool! I love giving reviews on excellent local restaurants and I'll have to say, without reservation...The Crushed Tomato is excellent. When a place can check ALL the boxes...woo hoo! This location definitely does just that! I highly recommend giving them a try. For desert there's some of the BEST cheesecake you can find and an assortment of ice cream. Yummy! I've included photos of the menu so you can see what they offer.

I visited The Crushed Tomato recently on a Wednesday which is their 10 in. Pizza special day. I’m not from the area and was visiting while house sitting for a friend. The pizza and salad I ordered was delicious and my waitress was super sweet! I even ordered a slice of Aunt Moe’s cheesecake. It was so good I went back the next evening for their pasta special and their baked spaghetti with meat sauce was even better than their pizza! Can’t wait until I’m back in the area to visit again! Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious!

I was in town working and ended up working late. I rushed over here as soon as I could because I had heard it was great. I walked in 20 minutes before closing and saw the young ladies sweeping. Disappointed I asked if I was too late. To my surprise a cheerful employee (Brylee) said no not at all please have a seat. I ordered cheese bread and a calzone. I’m not kidding all of it was on my table before I could type this review. And a as a bonus, the food was great, but the pleasant service was even better. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. I love the ambiance and vibe here. The food is great and staff are friendly. Great place to experience if you are in the Lafayette, GA area.

We walk in and it’s so comforting! The smell was so drawing to their food. The waitress (I feel very bad for not remembering) she was very helpful as first timers and informed us of all their deals they had! So great customer service! The salad was great as well! The pizza?? Omg! Not to be exaggerating but it’s the first time we ate the whole pizza while eating out. We usually take what’s left but we sure did eat it all. It’s was so delicious. We had the Margarita Pizza with Pepperoni added to it. Very much recommend to come and eat here and very much likely that we will come back!

Found this little place hiding in downtown Lafayette. Great brick oven pizza you'd never expect in a little town. This is our new "go to" for every return visit!
