The Merendino Family originally hailed from Sicily and settled in Long Island, New York. This family really knows pizza and authentic Italian food and still pays homage to their Italian roots through “Pizza Rustica.”

Growing up in Sicily, food was rarely wasted. Dough scraps leftover from making bread was saved, stretched out into thin and unique sizes and then topped with local ingredients. Michael Merendino brought the idea of “Rustica” to Phoenix where the concept behind Crust’s pizza is to offer it fresh, make it bursting with flavor and stay true to family traditions and recipes. The first Crust opened in 2007.

Now, Crust Restaurants includes two full-service locations-one in Scottsdale and one in Phoenix. There are also two satellite locations in the Phoenix Convention Center and at Salt River Fields. The Scottsdale Crust is located at 6989 N. Hayden Rd. Visit online at www.crustrestaurants.com or call (480) 948-3099.
