Wood-Fired · Liberty Commons · Akron

Wood-fired pizza,
proper cocktails.

A 55-seat pizza-and-cocktail room in Liberty Commons — blistered pies from the oven, a short list of serious drinks, and a room made for a good night out. Not a sports bar.

The Room

A little room with a lot of intent.

Crust & Cocktails opened in the summer of 2025 in Liberty Commons — a 55-seat room built around a wood-fired oven and a proper back bar. The idea is simple: a great pie, a good pour, and a space that feels like somewhere, not anywhere.

Blistered, chef-driven pizzas. A charcuterie board worth lingering over. And a cocktail list that treats a drink like it matters. Come for date night, a good bottle, or just the short-rib pizza you'll think about later.
