    Spicy knots
    Jaquay R.

    I enjoyed my first dining experience here. Trying rhe spicy knots were the best. The dough was delifhtful and so good. The fresh minced garlic and hot chili oil makes this appetizer mouthwatering good. The meat calzone is super huge. I was able to eat off of it for 3 days. The inside of the restaurant is nice. Bery clean and spcaious.

    I come to Crust once (sometimes twice) a week for lunch. The pizza is delicious and is their daily wine by the glass special. Usually we are served by Gianna or Reese. Both of them are amazing and greet me by name whenever I come in. They are both so friendly and take great care of me and my family when we all come in. I have two young boys and they absolutely love the pizza and pink lemonade. Reese even took time to discuss the intricacies of Pokemon Go with my oldest lol. Thank you Crust for being so great!

    I ordered a Stromboli that is delicious. It was made to order and ill definitely recommend it. The only issue I have is something was spicy, I think it's the sauce that comes with Stromboli. Im dissapointed because I couldn't even eat half because my toungue is tingling from the Spice. I wish it would have said something about the spicy sauce. I couldn't continue to enjoy it. The big chocolate chip cookie was hard, over baked and not to tasty. service was good, clean resturant.

    Q: How do you fix a broken pizza? A: With tomato paste. Crust Pizzeria, what a hoot. Recently, a group of my friends and I had The Upside Down (Mozzarella, pizza sauce, parmesan) and The Burrata (Sausage, pesto, caramelized onions, pickled Fresno peppers, red pepper cream). While not my favorite pizza place, they're decent. I wouldn't order The Upside Down again, as I found the red sauce to be too sweet, but I always enjoy The Burrata. It's a great place. Support local and get some pizza here. There's plenty of seating, lots of parking, and you can even grab some froyo next door for dessert.

    Giana is amazing! She mixes my martinis perfectly. And she always makes me feel like we are best friends, like any good bartender. I absolutely love her!!

    Great spot for NY style pizza in Tempe! Crust is the perfect spot for a casual family dinner, with tons of family style deals and quality food! The service was fast and friendly, making it perfect for an easy night out. Not only was their pizza delicious, but they also had a great variety of wings, salads, and calzones. Tried the -garlic parmesan wings: perfectly spicy with the fresno peppers and the croutons have a nice crunchy touch -grandmas 20' pie: great basic pie. simple toppings and flavors but does the job. also massive. -brooklyn burrata: great fun pizza, awesome flavor with the caramelized onion and pesto. got the rustica style pie which is a wine bottle shape, never had a pie like that before! -mediterranean farm salad: good starter salad but still hearty with the farro and numerous veggies

    Upside Down Sicilian Pizza (Mozzarella, pizza sauce, parmesan), $26.40

    Q: What does a pizza wear to smell good? A: Calzogne. If you like Crust Simply Italian, your cherished traditional NY East Coast Italian eatery, you will looove Crust Pizzeria. Sitting pretty in the Artichoke Basille's spot is the new Crust Pizzeria. My first visit had me ordering the Upstate NY Wings and the Upside Down Sicilian Pizza. Both were oh so good. Upstate NY Wings (Buffalo sauce, bleu cheese crumbles, pickled red onions, potato sticks, ranch), $14.30: Think of a fancified version of some buffalo wings. All the flavors and textures work well together and the buffalo wings itself were a delight. You don't need the extra accouterments but if you want to shell out a few more bucks, it's nice. I can never say no to blue cheese crumbles. Upside Down Sicilian Pizza (Mozzarella, pizza sauce, parmesan), $26.40: I really wanted a pizza where I can taste the sauce. With no fancy toppings, this pizza still delivered big flavor. And having eaten it cold from the fridge the next day, you can really taste how the sauce evolved. Amazing. Picasso! I'm a fan of Crust Simply Italian. While my heart breaks that I can no longer get an artery-clogging slice of artichoke pizza, this beloved brand is a mother's kiss and bandaid for this broken heart. Get it. Get it now.

    We went on a Saturday for lunch around 12 and the whole place was empty which we found a little odd, but the food and drinks were great! The calzone is MASSIVE and you can even customize your own pizza slice. They definitely need a menu with the toppings they offer as the server had to verbally list them off for us, but the prices were very reasonable for a quick lunch.

    We stopped in for a slice but that ends at 3pm. We ordered a large Bianca and added mushrooms and chicken. It was very good!! We would have loved some spinach but they don't carry it. The crust was perfect and the garlic was delicious! It was a quiet night and it was a peaceful setting. The staff was efficient.

    Garlic Knots
    Desiree D.

    It is worth coming here just for the garlic knots. They are amazing. Cute little restaurant in Tempe in a plaza off baseline near a few other restaurants and a movie theater. Service was quick and the restaurant was bright and inviting. Seriously get the garlic knots. The pizza slices were decent and large slices.

    20" pizza with pepperoni and sausage

    OMG the food at Crust is drool worthy . My boyfriend and I decided to go out for dinner on a Friday night and were first surprised by no wait! We got the pizza and wing special along with some drinks. DELISH! The pizza is huge! We took half home to eat later. The BBQ wings were crispy and saucy, a favorite and I LOVE wings. The ranch was also soooo tasty. The outdoor seating is also so cute. The sun went down while we ate and the outdoor lighting was so cute and set the mood perfectly. I think I've found my new fave pizza spot.

    Pictured: Brooklyn Burrata Sausage, Pesto, Caramelized Onions, Fresno Peppers, & Spicy Ailoi Crust is a great neighborhood spot. Friendly staff (shoutout to Giana and Taylor!) who are always recommending food and cocktails. I've eaten my way through about 90% of the menu and have yet to find something I didn't like. Their personal size pizzas are a great deal, and they have great pasta options as well. With a glut of kind of cruddy pizza options, Crust has pizza that goes above and beyond. If you are looking for a place with excellent food, and a considerably quieter atmosphere than the Porch next door, come to Crust. A great spot for date night, dinner with the family, or maybe just grabbing a beer and some food after work.

    Grilled chicken side. So much flavor and so moist.
    Aaron S.

    After posting my previous review, I was contacted by the owner who offered to make things right and gave me information on who to contact. I'm always a bit skeptical when this happens, but I was informed that this location recently changed management from the last time I was there. I gave it another try today for lunch and I am so glad that I did. The previous experience was awful with what felt like food that had been sitting. This pizza was so fresh and tasty. I got the special of the month which had Alfredo, grilled chicken, mozzarella, and bacon. So delicious. I ordered an extra side of grilled chicken because it was so moist and juicy packing a lot of flavor. The big test for me was the paper underneath the pizza. My biggest issue last time was the amount of grease on the pizza. As you can see from my photo, this one almost had none! Amazing considering how tasty it was. The ambiance looked much nicer and cleaner than my previous visit. I will have to try dining in next time to see if it is the same experience. By the way, in regard to service, I was greeted the second I walked in the door. That was a step up from last time too. I will definitely be back again. Keep coming up with delicious new specials.

    This is my second time here now and it was amazing. We tried the boneless wings from happy hour and…read morewe got the hot sauce for those. I was surprised, I definitely didn't expect them to be so spicy but it was perfect because I love spicy food. I don't think I've ever had hot wings with that much spice. I got the Penne Alla Vodka and as always it was amazing. I'll definitely say it was better this time, it had so much sauce and the perfect amount of veggies. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, I did add some chili flakes to give it a little kick. The sausage is delicious, it reminds me of the sausage from supreme pizzas. Everything together is the perfect bite, there's so many different flavors. The portion size is perfect. The food is definitely made with love. Our service was amazing, our waitress was friendly and catered to our needs. She made sure we had water and soda the entire time we were there. There was a little mess up with our order and she was very understanding about it. Like I've said before, I love the interior design. I think it's beautiful and looks very modern. The restaurant is spacious and has so many different seating options. I recommend checking it out!

I got the chicken parmigiana, but on the fettuccine I got Alfredo sauce. All of the food was excellent! The best we have had. The only reason for the 4 stars is all of our empty cups & plates remained on our table until after we left. We even ordered another order of garlic bread to take home after we were done eating, & the dishes remained on the table. I didn't take any pictures since we got the same food I've posted pictures of before.

You can also get a whole pie of your choice. They grate fresh parm on all the slices which I thought was a nice touch. The girl at the register seemed very knowledgeable about all the pizzas and gave us lots of details and recommendations which we appreciated. First we got the green, di Parma, and the Phoenix. The green has pistachios and fresh arugula on it, I thought the overall flavor was too sweet and the pistachios weren't crush enough. The Phoenix was good, very honey forward and overall the flavor didn't stick out to me. The di Parma was a cheese pizza with procuttio and ricotta, overall a little plain to me. I think they all would've tasted better hot, but I understand that's not super realistic for a slice shop. For our second order we got the vodka sauce slice, which was for sure my favorite. First of all it was piping hot, and that elevated the whole experience. I thought the sauce was so flavorful and savory, and the basil made a perfect bite. I would go back for a whole pie of this! I really liked the prices here, we got dinner for less than $25 for 2. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some other slices and get a pie of the vodka!

How is this possible? And the reports kept coming. Bronx native Chris Bianco had done the impossible, expanding authentic pizzas beyond the Mississippi River. The accolades and awards were endless, the critics raved, and even documentaries were produced. So we all started putting this place on our bucket list. I finally made the pilgrimage in 2026 to this mecca, this icon, this uber-famous destination. And it was worth the hype! The most beautiful red sauce complements the perfectly stretchy fresh mozzarella. Since I opted for the Sonny Boy, I was treated to high quality slices of salami and whole olives.The crust is thin, charred in various spots, slightly crispy on the bottom but still properly chewy. It is a thing to behold, ranking right up there with the best pizzas I've had in Italy and the states! I wish the olives were halved and not whole so they wouldn't roll off my pizza. But I didn't care. I even violated my germaphobic code for the first time in decades and snatched an olive off the table, it was that good! Because of its location inside Heritage and Science Park, there is a mandatory $10 parking charge for valeting plus a recommended tip. There is no validating inside the restaurant. But the surprise surcharge was also worth it!
