A Fresh Approach to Pizza. A Proven Path to Success.

About This Franchise

We’re redefining the way people enjoy craft pizza, beer and cocktails.

Crust and Craft is more than a pizzeria. It’s a casually cultured dining experience that offers new and unique taste sensations with each season. Built on crust made from flour straight from Italy, our pizzas – both classic and craft – are made from a variety of the finest ingredients. We then bake them in Italian-made ovens, ensuring authenticity in every bite.

To keep the menu and experience fresh for our patrons, we rotate our selections seasonally, and pair them with creative hand-crafted cocktails and craft beer. Beyond pizza, we offer a wide range of handhelds, bowls, and salads, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether it’s a taco supreme pizza or buffalo chicken mac & cheese, our distinctly different offerings have been drawing in customers since we first opened our doors in 2020.

With two wildly popular locations in Greenville, SC and McDonough, GA, founder David Valentine and his team are ready to bring their fresh approach to pizza to new neighborhoods through franchise offerings.
