About My Pie Pizza

It was spring of 2012 and three guys from the East Coast were thinking about how they were going to grow their Italian Pizza Restaurant concept, Crust. At that point, Crust already had the makings of a growing restaurant group with locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale, a catering company, MLB partnerships with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, a location in the Phoenix Convention Center, and a retail line that is anchored by their homemade Kurt Warner Marinara Sauce. So the question became...what's next?
