Welcome to CRUST Wood Fired Pizza
Crust is a mobile pizza event company founded in 2015 and originally based on the Connecticut shoreline. Following a wildly successful six year run as one of the state's most popular food trucks the business was sold to a local restaurateur who is carrying on the legacy.
Not long after moving to the Wilmington NC area in late 2020 I had thoughts of establishing a southern version of Crust and by June 2021 we were incorporated. An order for a genuine Valoriani brick oven (our third) was placed and work on building a custom trailer started. Completed in September we are now ready to deliver our brand of thin crust "New Haven Style" pizza to our North Carolina friends.
Crust is a must-have addition to any get together where delicious, fun and unique are a requirement. As owner/chef I am at every event working to delight your guests with up close magic by hand stretching dough and preparing each pizza pie on site. Along with our friendly serving staff the whole Crust experience is one your guests will talk about long after.
Your exceptional culinary adventure begins with our Crust seasonal salad followed by an assortment of traditional and our famous specialty pizzas. Some of our favorites include lobster mac and cheese, marinated tenderloin with rustic potatoes and crispy pork belly with apricot brown sugar glaze and hot cherry peppers. We finish with a delicious selection of Italian ice flavors.
From start to finish I promise to work with you personally to make your special event one to remember.

SOUTHEASTERN N.C. — An almost 2-ton pizza oven imported from Italy is churning out charred pies that entrepreneur Jeff Verderame calls the best pizza nationwide.
“New Haven has a reputation of being the pizza capital of the United States,” Verderame said.
The area ranks on national lists annually by foodies, including by Food & Wine just this June. Historians chalk it up to Italians emigrating to the area in the 1900s, bringing Neapolitan-style pizza with them......
