About This Spot

Stepping into The Taproom at Crust Pizza feels like settling into a comfortable gathering spot where the hum of laughter and the clinking of glasses mix effortlessly with the warm, yeasty scent of fresh pizza baking nearby. Nestled in Lake Charles, this is not just a place to grab a slice or a drink, but a relaxed neighborhood retreat where familiar faces meet great flavors and genuine connection.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between lively and laid-back — a friendly buzz fills the air without ever overwhelming. Whether it’s catching a game on one of the bar’s many screens or sharing a moment over craft cocktails that carry inventive twists alongside classic favorites, time seems to slow just enough to savor the small joys of good company and well-crafted drinks.

The menu is a reflection of this inviting spirit, centered on customizable personal pizzas baked to order with thoughtfully fresh ingredients, alongside a creative lineup of signature and classic cocktails that help set the tone whether it’s a casual weekday unwind or a spirited weekend night. The rotating selection of beers on tap — including some local brews — offers something new to discover on each visit, often recommended with a friendly familiarity you only find when the bartenders are as passionate as they are skilled.

Behind the taps and pizzas, it’s clear that hospitality here runs deep. The staff greet every guest with genuine warmth, making you feel less like a customer and more like a welcomed friend dropping in for good times and good flavors. It’s the kind of place where smiles are exchanged freely, stories find a comfortable space, and the music playing softly in the background feels perfectly chosen — a soundtrack that simply fits the pace of the evening.

For those lingering late or arriving after the pizza kitchen closes, the late-night menu offers comforting bites without fuss, inviting you to settle in a little longer without missing a beat. Here, in this cozy corner of Lake Charles, The Taproom at Crust Pizza quietly crafts an experience that feels less like a night out and more like coming home.

The two bartenders on Tuesday nights are amazing. The blonde is hot, and the black hair girl makes me feel like family. Couldn’t get better service. Definitely the top bartenders in this entire area. I applaud Betsy and Keylee on their hospitality, cocktail crafting skills, and love for their job. Always puts a smile on my face to see people who love what they do and are damn good at it. Need more country music though.

I have been to Taproom many times, and each time is a consistent good experience. Food - the food is Italian quick service themed, specializing in custom pizzas. Seemingly endless ways to make your personal pizza you can’t go wrong with any combination. Fresh ingredients, and service is quick. Drinks - as the name suggests many on tap beers to choose from. With some seasonal rotations, they also offer some in bottles. Cocktails are very fresh and prepared with care. They look just as amazing as they taste delicious.

Listen, y'all.....if yuns are ever, ever in Lake Charles, LA, i highly recommend you stop and grab you some drinks and food! This place is phenomenal!! I happened up on it by accident, and I must say it's been a very, very happy accident! I ended up stopping by the next night to grab a pizza for the long road back to Ohio.

THE TAPROOM @ CRUST PIZZA - LAKE CHARLES, LA Vibes: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - pizza, a full bar with a fluctuating themed menu & lots of local beers, what more could you ask for? Music is always on point. Jace Wallace always takes the best care of us. I found my new favorite seasonal beer, Parrish Sips Sunset, per his recommendation. Tastes like the greatest beer-mosa of all time. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - we had the Mr potato head personal size pizza & garlic knots with Alfredo sauce for dipping. It hit the spot & we had leftovers. Accessibility: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - not very many handicapped parking spots on the side facing chick fil a but there are a few more on the Nelson side. Doors are fairly lightweight, no push button entry. On the taproom side there is only bar height stools & booths so if transferring isn’t ideal, definitely choose a table on the crust side, not taproom. Bathroom is a single stall, on the smaller end but with a lightweight power chair, I was able to use the restroom without help.

Pizza is good, nothing special but honestly a solid deal. Similar to a MOD Pizza in ability to stack a ton of toppings and customize a build-your-own pie. What sets this apart is the Taproom space where you can bring order your pizza and enjoy a cold beer while watching sports. Plenty of good beer options to choose from and great service. You wouldn't know the place is open from the front entrance - it looks dark and closed - but you can walk in or enter from the main restaurant.
