Can I start a sentence with "Just that", like:
It tastes good. (it's) just that it's too expensive.
Can I drop the "it's" at the start? If not, what's a good substitute that sounds casual and friendly? "Although" and "However" sound too formal in my opinion. Or are they?

It's fine. Some linguists refer to this kind of omission as a conversational deletion.
The conversational deletion is very common and perfectly idiomatic in speech. It's not likely to run afoul of any rule in informal situations.
