Here’s our story and we’re sticking to it…

Once upon a time, back in 2013 we decided to take a leap into the restaurant business and partner with a chicagoan family and opened a restaurant down in Queen Creek. It was such a hit that 3 years later, we decided to open a second location in Gilbert to take some of the stress off the first location however it just grew even more. When Covid hit at the end of 2020, we decided to move the Gilbert location to a newer shopping center in Mesa and due to other circumstances also decided to break away and change our name to something people would CRAVE. We have been rated as the best pizza in Mesa and best pizza in the phoenix metro area.

We pride ourselves on the quality of food we provide. Our Pizza, Fresh Pasta and Hot Sandwiches are based on Chicago influences and our artisan style menu is something our family is very proud of. We now source our meats from Gilbert Butchery, another family owned business which now brings grass fed quality to our menu. Not only are our meats top quality but our fresh vegetables are all sourced from local farmers. Our salads and unique appetizers are some of the best in the Phoenix areas as well. We have recently added the addition of fresh pasta made in house with sauces that are made to order. In addition, we surprise many with our chocolate creations also made in house and have been rated by our customers as better than well known local and Chicago based chocolate stores. Some of our sweet staples are Chocolate Salted Caramel, Chocolate Bordeaux, Mint Meltaways and Chocolate Truffles. We genuinely enjoy taking the time to provide a homemade menu and we enjoy seeing our customer’s appreciation in the food we provide.

Amazing atmosphere. Please be prepared that we have ONE indoor family 10-top table that can be reserved, In addition, we now more seating with a (winter time) heated OUTDOOR PATIO! We also have a large 15 seat “dining bar” that is family friendly. Many couples also come dine in weekly and look forward to their date nights at our large white quartz bar! We have a large selection of premium wines from Napa, Italy and all around the world. Ask about or WINE CLUB which is the only area that we offer a dine-in discount for being a member. We also have 8 rotating taps of craft beer and some very unique adult slushee creations!

We are family owned and operated. We want you to feel like you are family when you walk in our doors from our friendly staff and amazing service! Many of our employees have been working with us from the beginning of when we started our last restaurant in Gilbert and love being a part of the Crave family. We are so happy with our restaurant’s location as a family neighborhood hangout and expect to be a part of the family community for many years going forward.
