| - I read about Crust Pizza and Wine Cafe just a few days ago in this month's issue of 944 magazine, and immediately I was excited to give a try. The article pointed out that the owner, Mike Berindino, grew up in Long Island, and he learned pizza tossing from his father who owns a couple of small pizzerias in New York.
I wasn't extraordinarily hungry, so I just grabbed a slice of Spinach and Broccoli (only $2.50!) It hit the spot and I'll definitely be back. The interior is brand-spankin' new and modern, which I liked, and the lighting was calming, however the chairs were a bit hard and uncomfortable for my liking... but I digress. I could've done without the damn flat-screen, too, but I gave up on caring about TV's in restaurants long ago. Why does every business need one, though?
Interesting enough, the salads are served in bowls made of crust, but I have yet to try one - I just saw it on the menu.
Their website is www.crustscottsdale.com, and I recommend you check it out. I plan on going back soon to give the Rustica a try, as well as sample some vino, at which time I'll bring a friend so I won't be so critical...
Nice place, though! Maybe a little too nice...
