Well now I can check off the Tempe Crust Pizzeria location & officially confirm that they're on the top of my list of best pizza places out here in Phoenix when I'm craving for some great pizza! We finished a long evening of shopping & I just wanted to grab a nice pizza plus a couple of those addicting chocolate chip cookies... OMG!!! I called in my order, caught them right before closing & ordered the Uncle Louie plus a couple of the cookies! I got there 10 minutes before closing, pulled up as they were putting our pizza in the box, opened the box & of course had zero complaints! The Uncle Louie was a new choice for us, the pie was nice & thin the way that we like it... not all that heavy dough that makes you feel bloated after you eat one slice! The quality of products that Crust uses really makes a difference, this pizza is 20" & they put the big deli sliced pepperoni on the pizza plus they put sliced sausage not ground! Personally I'm a basil lover therefore I'd request extra basil next time, other than that the pizza was delish as we expected! So there you have it, now we know that whether we're north Phoenix or south it's confirmed that both Crust locations are consistent with each other which is nice to know! Oh & yes those cookies were very delish as always, have to eat half so I can always save the other half for the next day... they're that good! read more

Crust Pizzeria in Tempe is a fantastic spot for anyone craving bold flavors and great service! One thing I like most about this location is, it's right next the Majestic movie theater. I stopped in at this location because I was seeing a movie right after. I ordered the Spicy Knots and Happy Hour Buffalo Wings (extra crispy), and both were absolute winners. The Spicy Knots were perfectly baked--soft on the inside with a deliciously crisp bite on the outside--and packed just the right amount of heat. Paired with their dipping sauce, they were impossible to resist! The Buffalo Wings were equally impressive. Extra crispy, just as I had asked, with that classic tangy, spicy kick that makes buffalo wings so addictive. They nailed the texture and flavor, making them one of the best wing options around. Our server, Giana, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with great food and service, made for an awesome experience. read more

Friendly waiter and delicious pizza. We got the Jersey Sure and Spicy Butcher, highly recommend both. Crispy thin crust, the right amount of hot honey, and fresh ricotta. Our kids loved it too. Mozzarella sticks had a nice flavor and crunchy breading that seemed unique. We'll be back! read more

I enjoyed my first dining experience here. Trying rhe spicy knots were the best. The dough was delifhtful and so good.

Bery clean and spcaious. read more

My roommate loves this place. She's a pizza person. Says it's great. I am it a pizza person, and I got wings. I got traditional style, and they taste good, except they were dry, not enough sauce for me. We did take out, but the place looks nice. And we got our food in good time. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Being from NY, this pizza was mediocre at best. Unfortunately the sauce had very little flavor, and the crust itself is bland (usually dang near my favorite part) also about 1 piece of pepperoni per slice came on it. The difference is all in the water.. read more

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. read more

We stumbled on this place by accident. I meant to order Crust Brothers down the street and called Crust Pizzeria. I was worried but the minute we walked in I knew we were going to be just fine! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the place was so inviting. The pizza was NY style and they had these amazing looking fresh chocolate chip cookies as well. The service was fast, friendly, and we will be and! We ordered the large pepperoni NY pizza, the crust was exactly how we wanted it. We also ordered 16 Buffalo wings and they were fresh and great as well. My ONLY complaint would be to make your own ranch!! The ranch is sweet and it would be so much better salty with that pizza. We went and got wing stop dressing with it and I was in heaven!! We will definitely be back!!! read more

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!! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Authentic NYC style pizza! I got the NY Style pizza and added pepperoni. Everything was fresh and I had plenty of left overs (ordered the 20"). I also got a side of the BBQ wings which were cooked to perfection. Reece was our server and he was the best. Gave us perfect recommendations and had a very welcoming and friendly vibe! Y'all have to come in and give it a try! read more

This place is a gem! Really good pizza. The toppings, sauce, crust, delicious. We love the Jersey Sure pizza. Double pepperoni hot honey, mozzarella, ricotta. The house "Crust" wing sauce is delicious. Also enjoyed the caesar salad. You can get a whole pie or pizza by the slice. $25 for a large 20" pizza and 8 wings! Excellent service. Definitely coming back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The staff was amazing. They were able to accommodate our party of 8, last minute. The place wasn't busy, we were there for lunch. I had a small Caesar salad and a jersey sure gluten free pizza. The salad had entirely too much dressing, it was swimming in it. *dressing was homemade, which was a plus! The pizza was good, but cold. Overall, I'd probably go back and give it another shot, I can see ppl do enjoy eating here. The service was really great, can't say enough about it. read more

A Taste of the East Coast in Tempe: Crust Pizzeria Located at 1120 E Baseline Road, Tempe, Crust Pizzeria offers a delightful slice of East Coast Italian charm. The Merendino family brings their original recipes to the table, and you can taste the love! The large 20" pies are perfect for sharing. Monthly rotating specials such as the "Long Island" keep the menu dynamic. The crust, true to the pizzeria's name, strikes a perfect balance between crispy and chewy, reminiscent of classic neighborhood pizzerias of the East Coast. Beyond pizza, their signature dishes are a must-try. The meatballs, burrata, and spicy garlic knots with Calabrian chili, pepperoni and sausage, are an absolute must-try, packing flavorful punches. To complement your meal, Crust Pizzeria offers a refreshing cocktail menu. Try an Aperol Spritz, or a cold brew espresso martini. The ambiance of the pizzeria adds to its charm, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness ensure a pleasant dining experience. To-go ordering is available, and pizza can be purchased by the slice if needing a quick fix for lunch! Glad to see Crust is continually expanding (pardon the pun), I have always been a big fan! read more

Was excited to try this location as I've been to the Chandler one and loved it. Went during happy hour and ordered an Aperol spritz and their daily special that included a slice of pizza, salad of choice (house or Caesar) and a drink. The spritz was not the best I've ever had, but i still enjoyed it. The pizza slices were a little doughy and lacked flavor in the sauce.The side house salad was really good and was not over dressed. Service was friendly and prompt. They do have a cute little patio area, perfect to sit outside during this time of year! I'd be willing to come back and try a whole pizza. read more

I want to love this place but the slices are not good. the problem with slices in general is they are not fresh that's the nature of how pizza places can offer the conscience of providing fast service. I wish places would have one cheese pie then add to the slice so it's customized to how you want it. I believe I got a simple cheese slice that wasted like it was from yesterday and taken out of the refrigerator and warmed up until it was all dried out. Maybe they use low fat cheese who knows The service also felt slow. You know when you sit in the bar area and the bartender is serving you that ha no training on actually waiting on tables and is more concerned with making adult cocktails? I will say the cook came out and noticed I didn't eat my pizza and asked if he could remake it. Which I appreciate but in the end I doubt I'll go back for a while. I'm read more

Crust Pizzeria took over a previous pizza place. Located walking distance to lots of housing around and near lots of other options for food. I live close by and within a mile is 3+ pizza places that aren't your typical chain such as Papa Johns or so. So usually better options. This place stands out!! PIZZA The pizza was great once I figured out how to order it. The online ordering doesn't give the option. You have to order the cheese pizza and add pepperoni. They do offer lots of specialty options for quick order though. Crust was not as crisp as I would love and the pizza was not hot upon arriving home. Garlic Knots Garlic knots were almost the same as the place that was previously there, enough garlic to kill! Love them! Marinara was a solid compliment to them. Wings This is where I start to wander why the restaurant is always slower. The wings were great! Very affordable compared to the amount of chicken on them. The wings were HEALTHY. Sauce was typical buffalo, not drowning the wing but giving the kick and sweetness you'd assume buffalo would offer. Pasta (Not Pictured) We also ordered a pasta my wife ate. She claimed the meatballs were not as seasoned as some in the area. Other then that, worth ordering again. Overall The to-go containers for one thing were nice! Easily good enough to keep for lunch containers if you'd like. Service was quick and staff was very friendly when waiting for them to bag the order. With some improvements to the website photos and ease of ordering a custom pizza, I can see this place being around a long time. For those looking to dine in, the patio seemed awesome. Lots of room and a bar. With the staff the way they are, I can't see why dining in wouldn't be a good idea. Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I will improve my rating as I see the consistency maintain as I stated the pizza wasn't hot to start. read more

**Best Pizza HANDS DOWN!** BEST DEAL IN TEMPE: $25 for a 20" NY Pizza & NY Wings!! If you haven't tried this pizza yet, do yourself a favor and get there ASAP--because it's *next level* incredible. From the first bite, you'll know you've found the holy grail of pizza. The sauce? Rich, hearty, and undeniably authentic, with that perfect tang and depth of flavor that only comes from real Italian craftsmanship. It's like they've captured the essence of Italy in every spoonful. The crust is nothing short of perfection: a crispy, golden exterior with just the right amount of chewiness in the center. It's the perfect balance--crispy enough to give you that satisfying crunch, but chewy enough to give you that melt-in-your-mouth texture. Honestly, it's the kind of crust that has you reaching for that second slice before you even realize it. Every ingredient sings its own note--quality cheese that's ooey-gooey, fresh toppings that are bursting with flavor, and just the right amount of seasoning to bring it all together. Whether you're a classic Margherita fan or you love a fully loaded pie, they absolutely nail it every time. It's the kind of pizza that makes you want to shout from the rooftops about how good it is. The ambiance is relaxed, inviting, and full of energy! To put it simply: I've tried pizza all over the world, but this one? This is the *real deal*. If you want an authentic, mouthwatering experience that'll have you coming back for more--this is *the one*. END. OF. STORY. read more

Got the Brooklyn bomber personal pizza. Absolute trash. Tastes like it was made it an hour ago and put it aside cause they burnt it and decided it was ok to serve to someone later on. Not even remotely warm and even though the employee said the crust was the best part I wouldn't be able to tell cause the edges are all burnt and the undercarriage is as hard as a rock and cutting up my mouth. It's more like a terrible flatbread than a pizza. Also have no idea why they shape it like this. It's weird and the extra nub at the end is about 50% crust. Save your tastebuds and wallet and go to dominos instead read more

First and foremost, the customer service was FANTASTIC! You don't get 5 stars without that. I had a slice of the thin crust and a slice of the Detroit style. The crust could have been a little crispier, but the sauce and the cheese were great! You can really taste the herbs in the sauce. It doesn't taste like the fake stuff! The vibe is great! Very open, modern, and welcoming. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more
