Located at 67-11 Main St in Kew Gardens Hills, The Upper Crust Queens is a kosher dairy restaurant known for artisan pizzas, hearty pastas, fresh salads, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. The dining room features warm wood accents, comfortable seating, and an open, family-friendly setting suited to casual meals and celebratory gatherings alike. The menu leans Italian-dairy with popular pies (think classic Margherita, truffle mushroom, and veggie-loaded combinations), baked pastas like ziti and penne alla vodka, and entrée-style fish dishes such as salmon prepared in clean, bright flavors. Salads and starters round out the offerings, and coffee and desserts make it easy to linger after a meal. A key draw is the restaurant’s private dining capability: a dedicated event room accommodates up to 60 guests for simchas, birthdays, sheva brachot, corporate lunches, and school or community functions. The team offers flexible layouts—from long communal tables for family-style dining to rounds for more formal seating—and can arrange prix-fixe menus for luncheons or dinners, including pizza-focused spreads, dairy Italian courses, or fish-forward menus. Service is attentive and accustomed to hosting milestone events, with staff coordinating timing, coursing, and special requests typical for kosher occasions. Kosher supervision is provided locally, and the restaurant is generally closed for Shabbat with Motzei Shabbat availability seasonally. Event amenities typically include a sound system hookup and options for a display screen by request, along with Wi-Fi, highchairs, and stroller-friendly access. Buyouts of the main dining room are possible for larger groups or exclusive experiences. Pricing is moderate for the area and in line with kosher dairy restaurants, making it an approachable choice for both everyday dining and private events.
