Our Story

Founded in 2001 in Sydney, Crust Pizza was born from a simple yet ambitious vision: to revolutionize pizza delivery in Australia by offering gourmet quality that rivals sit-down restaurants, delivered right to your door.

What began as a single store in Sydney's North Shore has grown into one of Australia's most beloved pizza brands, with over 150 locations across the country. Our success has been built on a commitment to quality ingredients, innovative recipes, and exceptional customer service.

Unlike traditional fast-food pizza chains, Crust Pizza has always focused on premium, restaurant-quality pizzas. We pioneered gourmet toppings, introduced gluten-free and vegan options before they were mainstream, and developed a signature range of pizzas that celebrate Australia's diverse culinary landscape.

Today, Crust Pizza continues to push boundaries, staying true to our founding principles while embracing new flavors and technologies to enhance the customer experience.

Our Values

Quality

We source only the finest ingredients and never compromise on quality. From our imported Italian cheeses to locally grown vegetables, every component of our pizzas is carefully selected.

Innovation

We constantly explore new flavors, techniques, and technologies to enhance our pizzas and customer experience. Our innovation team works year-round to develop exciting new offerings.

Sustainability

We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint through sustainable sourcing, eco-friendly packaging, and energy-efficient operations. We partner with local suppliers whenever possible.
