Dissatisfied with the slices of pie at fast-food joints, CravePizza owner Rafael tinkered with recipes for savory dough and hearty tomato sauce until he was satisfied. He opened CravePizza to craft pies from the basic foundation of buttery-crust dough, custom-spiced sauce, and a house blend of cheese. Three chefs with 40 years of collective experience toss thin, pan, or stuffed pies and top them with traditional meats and vegetables, as well as unexpected options such as roast beef, shrimp, and cilantro. The family-friendly restaurant welcomes customers dining in to enjoy a drink from the full bar, and delivery and pickup orders receive the same piping-hot fare with a free box.

Hand-tossed thin-, pan-, or stuffed-crust pizzas are smothered in crushed tomatoes, house-blended cheese, and toppings such as sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and artichokes ($8.25+). The remainder of the menu boasts succulent Angus beef burgers ($7.95), a veggie sandwich piled with sautéed peppers and mushrooms beneath melted mozzarella cheese ($7.95), and a pulled pork sandwich crowned with apples, sage, and fennel ($7.95).
