| - Met up with my date for the evening at San Tan Brewing Co down the street. It was quite busy inside, and very loud. Being that this was our second date, we both wanted a quieter atmosphere where we could talk and enjoy each others company. She had mentioned to me that Crust had just opened a few weeks ago, and that she had heard good things. Perfect, lets give it a try!
Initial impression was good. Nice decor, good atmosphere, very quiet (although it wasn't busy for a Monday evening at 7) and friendly staff to greet us. We had the White Bean Tuscsn Salad served in a bread crust bowl to start. It was dressed well (not too soggy) and tasted great. All salads can be served as half/whole, whole being enough for 2-3 to share, and the portion was more than adequate. We had a hard time deciding on what pizza to select. All of them sounded good, but in the end we decided to stay traditional and get a Sicilian grandma style pie. Now, I am born and raised in NJ, so I am ALWAYS skeptical of pizza joints outside of the tri-state area. We were chatting with our server Alexis, when I told her about this. She was happy to inform me that the owners are from NY and NJ, a team. When the pizza came it, it was perfect. WAY to large for 2 people, we both took home left-overs. A well seasoned sauce, that was very basic but tasted terrific. Good quality cheese and high quality pepperoni.
Overall I give Crust 4 stars. I will be coming back to try the other items on the menu or perhaps get a pie to go. Salad for 2, large pizza and 1 glass wine and 1 cocktail was approx 50. Not too bad for the amount of food and quality of the drinks.
