The Kro's Nest 乌巢

Hugely popular American-style pizza joint, serving up its famous "gigantic” pizzas along with garlic-covered cheese sticks, onion rings, wings and draft beers. The Haidian branch has stone archways and a lively atmosphere fueled by catchy music, while the Gongti branch offers an airy second floor and fair weather outdoor seating.

User reviews of The Kro's Nest 乌巢

I'm fat and I like to eat a lot so I really like this place

Review of The Kro's Nest

Kro's has huge pizzas as most know but if you think quality suffers as the quantity increases, you're wrong. Their pizza is flat out good.

They have a lot of choices over at Kro's and if you can't decide what you want then you can always get a pizza split with two different styles. Normally, I get the Kro's special (a traditional supreme) and one other depending on my mood. The crux to it all though is getting the pizza chicago style for 30 rmb more.

The drinks are huge and they have a nice selection of beers. However, don't drink more than 3 car bombs as you might end up at Vics which is never a good thing.

Great PMBs,too good french fries

The PMB pizza ,is my favourite.
I love the extra cheese,though not good for the waist of an 22 year pretty girl.

But I just love to hog here.Its great with or without friends.The size of the Pizza is good.One meal here is enough for the day !

The Onion rings,whatever you order its like my staple home food.

The beers are a bit pricey now.

But will keep going here for the food and stop exprimenting with the Middle Eastern or Indian food and specially wont go where the admin recommends!

Not Just The Biggest

Ok so I'm pretty new to Beijing having come from Brooklyn a few months ago. My brother has been here for quite sometime and I wanted to see for myself...yadda yadda yadda everyone has their story. Anyways, really missing a great pie so me and my bro went on a "pizza tour" of Beijing.. Gotta say, Kro's is by far the best. Apparently this place is famous for having big pies (and big they are) but it also simply tasted great. Reminds me of this place I used to go to a lot back home, only the pizzas there aren't as big, lol. Cheap drinks and friendly staff. Worth checking out if you miss home or if you want to see what all the fuss is about. gets my seal of approval!

Great Pie, Wings, Salad & Tunes

Review of The Kro's Nest

I've only been to the Worker's stadium location but I've been quite a few times. Each time the pizza had been delicious and plentiful. The wings are spicy but don't leave you looking like a 1 year old eating cake for the first time, they have just the right amount of sauce. The salads are tasty and big enough for two people to eat off of. The music is great too, awesome vibe. It's a must for pizza lovers...I hear they are delivering, call for details.

Cheers!

An Amazing Taste Of Home

Review of The Kro's Nest

I've been studying here for about half a year now and one of my classmates told me about the Kro's Nest. Pizza in Beijing...no way! You see, we have been forced to commit to a "language pledge" which forbids us from speaking English, we also live in a dorm with Chinese students, so naturally our lives here as students have been very Chinese and stuff like pizza parlors rarely enters our thoughts...

Boy can I say I was happily surprised! The atmosphere made me feel like I was back in the States. Rock music blaring and a kind of dark, dare I say seedy (but welcoming) decor. I really enjoyed the casual and homey feel of the place. The waitresses (all Chinese) were cute and friendly. There was more than enough ample space for me and my large group of friends and we kind of got the impression that we owned the place because of the service and environment.

I've read some other reviews and I don't understand some of the criticisms they make. Too much grease on the pizza? Hello, where do you think you are? Are you dining on caviar and lobsters? Are you on a diet? This is american style PIZZA! And for all they claim to do, they do it extremely well! I must say I was skeptical at first - I wasn't sure if they pizza would be good "for Beijing" or good "in general" but it was actually some of the best pizza I've ever tasted! You can be sure that I will be coming back here again and again.

Huge Pizza

Pizza is huge, beyond any expectation. It is middle american style, thick greasy, and delicious. The beer selection is good but not great and the wait staff are friendly. Nice place.

Great, big pizzas, but go easy on the grease

Just had a massive lunch at the Kro's Nest, which deserves props for their gargantuan portions and the fact that they don't skim on the toppings, but am a little turned off by the grease, which tends to drip off the pizzas. All the same, it's still worth working up an appetite for.

Kro's Gongti Location now open

As of Wednesday, August 27, Kro's Gongti location is open. I thought we were going to have to wait until after the Paralympic Games, but thankfully that is not the case. They still have a great microbrew selection at 35 RMB / bottle.

Can't wait for the gongti location to reopen ...

frankly, olympic tourists missed out big time since the Gongti location of the Kro's Nest was closed ... mouth is watering in anticipation for its reopening (and yes I am too damn lazy to go to the Haidian location, despite the opening of Line 10 ...)
