Your guide to dining in Berkshire County

RJ'S opened Sept 2021 and is the 4th Restaurant owned and operated by José Reyes

Reyes has run his own Long Island-based restaurants and catering companies since 2008. Previously, he learned all about five-star dining while working at the Scotto Brothers restaurant in Long Island. “I learned from them and decided to open up my own business,” he said. “I have been very happy to make that decision. Then learning from my Friend Fernando Gallicia Rivera there was a need for my experience in Lakeville Ct, I decided it was time to open new restaurants in Ct, Ma and Ny where he owns and operates Picante's Lakeville, Lakeville Ct, Picante's Canaan, Canaan Ct, El Noa Noa  Chatham, Chatham Ny, with Chef/partner Fernando Galicia Rivera, and now RJ'S Pittsfield Ma with Chef/Cousin & partner David Reyes

José Reyes said recently, “Moving to this area was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.” He added, “People love the food. I want them to leave happy.” 

After a 35 year business career spent in NYC and the Berkshires, Jim Cervone, an avid amateur chef, and proud Italian, decided to pursue his passion for food specifically pizza! Jim’s love of food began at Sunday dinners at his Italian immigrant grandparents in Astoria NY. Jim spent several years visiting acclaimed urban pizza cafes, attending trade shows, baking pizza in his home until he found what he felt was the perfect pizza crust, red sauce, cheese, and toppings. Then goal was to build the best pizza regardless of cost and offer it for a reasonable price.

On August 31, 2020, CRUST opened its doors on East Street in Pittsfield and has since been serving up some amazing pizza to rave reviews. CRUST embraces the best qualities of Neapolitan and NY styles, and we refer to ours as NEO-NY. With a name like CRUST our focus is on the dough. Our dough is made with a special blend of Italian flours and old-world techniques. The result is a flavorful thin, airy crust with a soft crunchy bite. We keep our menu simple and let the dough and other high-quality ingredients speak for themselves.
