"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.

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.

Glad to see Crust is continually expanding (pardon the pun), I have always been a big fan!"

"Ate here at lunchtime a few months ago. Was expecting to pay $8.50 for a slice and a drink. The waitress has asked what toppings we wanted on our slices, and I don't think it was made clear that we would be charged extra for toppings. The bill came out to much more than we were expecting. Will probably not return. The pizza was pretty good and the slices were giant, but It's not my favorite style of pizza."

"Where hype and disappointment intersect. Saw this place on Fox 10 news one morning and it caught my eye. The pizza looked amazing. I checked the reviews and mostly 5 stars. Ordered the deluxe pizza to go. I got the box, opened it up and it looked delicious! When I got home and had a slice.......total disappointment, too little sauce, and what sauce it did have had nothing more than a tomato paste taste. The cheese had no flavor....the veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. The pizza just had no flavor at all really. When I got to the crust at the edge that's when it became halfway decent. The crust was awesome......too bad the rest of it wasn't as good. Staff was great, atmosphere while waiting was great.....just bummed about the taste. My reply to the owner. Appreciate you reaching out. No need to make it right, it just isn't my taste, nothing you can really do about the taste....your recipe is what it is, just not for me. Thank you though. Nice restaraunt, nice people, great service!"

"I think this is one of my new favorite pizza places around. The name says it all, and part of the reason I like it. They have amazing crust especially the New York style pizza. They also have one of my favorite beers on tap Peroni."

"Had our first meal here, and it was so good! Our server Tim was funny and attentive, and helped us navigate the menu when we had questions. He didn't hover but he made sure our drinks were topped off. The food was absolutely delicious, and the manager was amazing, he opened the rolling doors for us because we asked since it was such a beautiful day. Please try the cookies, they came right out of the oven and they were perfect. The parking lot is close and there's lots of spaces, so you don't need to worry about it being too crowded. The outside patio here will be perfect in the coming season. I definitely recommend checking it out."
