We're Crust — an Australian-born crust pizza brand that believes every bite should be an event. Born from a love of bold flavours, honest ingredients and a relentless commitment to quality pizza crust, we've been feeding communities across Australia since 2009.
It all started in 2009 when founder Marco Bellini — fresh off a culinary stint in Naples — arrived in Orange, NSW with one burning obsession: creating the perfect crust pizza. Not the pale, doughy imitations he'd seen around, but a proper, hand-stretched, fire-kissed masterpiece. He rented a small shopfront on Anson Street, bought a secondhand stone oven, and got to work.
Word spread fast. Within six months, queues stretched out the door. Within two years, Crust had become a household name in Orange. By 2015 we opened our second location, and by 2020 we were delivering crust pizza across regional NSW. Today, Crust serves thousands of happy customers each week — but our recipe hasn't changed one bit.
We still hand-stretch every pizza crust. We still source local produce where we can. We still refuse to cut corners, because we believe great food is worth doing right.
Our mission is simple: to craft the boldest, freshest pizza crust in Australia — delivered with speed, served with pride, and made with ingredients you can trust. We believe every Australian deserves restaurant-quality crust pizza at their door.
Every pizza crust is hand-stretched and stone-baked. No shortcuts, no frozen bases — just pure craft, every single order.
We partner with local Australian suppliers for our produce, meats and dairy. Fresh tastes better, and we taste the difference every day.
Our delivery network is built for speed without sacrificing quality. Your crust pizza arrives piping hot, perfectly crisped and ready to devour.
Crust is proudly local. We sponsor community events, support local charities and believe that feeding people is one of life's greatest privileges.
Quality isn't a feature — it's the foundation. From dough hydration to topping ratios, every element of our pizza crust meets a standard we'd be proud to serve to family.
We tell you exactly what's in your food. No mystery ingredients, no hidden extras. Just honest cooking you can see and taste.
Whether you're dining in, ordering delivery or calling us at the store, we treat every customer like a guest in our home. Warm, real and always welcoming.
We never stop learning. We test new recipes, listen to feedback and push ourselves to make each crust pizza better than the last. Good is never good enough.
