Crust Simply Italian

Crust simply italian is absolutely wonderful! I dined there for lunch, very spacious and hip.I enjoyed the Caesar salad, it's big enough for two people to share. The buratta appetizer was next level delicious! Lots of buratta and italian meats. I also got the meatballs, great flavors.Darrin gave us the VIP treatment, the entire staff was very friendly. Great date spot and they have a darling speakeasy if you want to get crazy!

I made an online pickup order from here on Friday evening for 2 pizzas and meatballs. My order was ready within the given timeframe of 20-25 mins! I have had the slice of pizza and meatballs from the late night menu at The Ostrich and thought it was good. Close parking around the area is tough on the weekends but I was able to grab a close 5min parking spot on the side. My order: Meatball appetizer $13 - was $12.50. Comes with 4, some bread & side of marinara. It was a bit salty this time20" Palermo $29 - there's very little chicken for the price and the bottom was a tad soggy but I still liked it20" Supreme $29 - ordered this 1/2 without cheese because one person can't eat cheese. For the most part, it was but she tasted a few bits after taking a bite of one slice and looked for something else to eat. The other person who does eat cheese said the pizza was goodIm sure the pizzas would've been much better eaten at the restaurant. The pizzas are huge! They only have one size. Some slices were too big but was an easy fix with a pizza cutter. I would go back again and try some others.

Came here on a Saturday at 1pm. We were sat right away. We had a party of 4. Great location. As an apprizer we did the 3 for $13 bruschetta. Shared the uncle Louie's pizza, the food was very bland and I wasn't impressed. My friend did get the muscles and she said they were good.

Great pizza and service. I've been here twice now and the food is delicious! Right in the heart of Downtown Chandler, great location.

The service is great the manager, April stopped by to see how we were doing and how did we hear about Crust. I saw it in PBS , Check Please. Our server Zoë, was very nice and served us with a smile. We had: chicken Marsala, chicken Caesar salad, garlic knots, salmon Caesar salad, Prosecco, vodka and tonic and lots of laughs. I wished my chicken Marsala pieces were thicker (like on PBS), but I did have enough left for the next day because it comes with linguine. Yum. It is a nice cozy space and they have a patio. Nice neighborhood restaurant.

Another 5star visit to Crust! We went on Saturday evening, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table for two. The hostess did inform us that the misters were dripping on the table and asked if we wanted to wait for another table. We were hungry, so we took that table. It was kind of annoying at first, but we put some napkins down where the two misters were dripping and it was fine. This was our first time ordering pasta at Crust! Other than their wine pairings dinner during covid in 2020 (you guys should do some in person now!!). I grew up in an Italian household, so I am a big critic when it comes to eating pasta at a restaurant - I know Crust is legit when it comes to authentic Italian, so I was curious to try some new stuff. I opted for the Spicy Rigatoni Sausage - I LOVED it and will definitely be ordering it again. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy. My husband had Grandma's Pasta, and he loved all the meat that came with it. It didn't have quite enough sauce for me, but it was the perfect amount for my husband. We had good service, as always. And as I've said in the previous review, make sure you join the rewards program!

I just wanted to add a quick update to my review to say that APRIL is an absolute doll! We went to Crust again last night for dinner and April stopped by to see how we were doing and to tell us about the Speak Easy (that we didn't know about at all!). She shared with us the history of the Speak Easy and also the San Marcos hotel and we were so impressed with her knowledge and loved the tour she took us on. As usual, food and drinks were great too.

I've been here a lot. The food is delicious! My only complaint is that the tap beer is basically unavailable. Regardless, I'll be back.

Coming from NJ .. been looking for east coast style Italian food in AZ and Crust hits the mark 100 %.. GREAT happy hour and friendly accommodating staff .. love the wrap around outside bar in Chandler

Atmosphere wasn't bad. Very open concept. I had the Tortellini Alla Panna... it wasn't bad, had good flavor and the serving size was a nice portion $20.50 seemed a little pricey. My friend had the Chicken Marsala.... She wasn't a fan, chicken was bland, no flavor. The roll that came with it was terrible, no flavor and they didn't even bring butter! maybe they're more of a pizza establishment and not a pasta place, not sure. I will give it another try by ordering a pizza next time. I had a glass of the house wine, it was delicious!
