Crust Pizza Co. will open in the Houston neighborhood of Summerwood next month, according to a press release.

The restaurant is under the helm of franchisees Shashin and Ashwini Shah.

"We are excited to bring Crust Pizza to Summerwood," Carl Comeaux, CEO of Crust Pizza Co., said in the release. "Our commitment to quality and the unique dining experience we offer sets us apart in the pizza industry. We look forward to becoming the number one pizza place in Houston."

The Summerwood location brings Crust's total number of units open to 30.

"This location is perfect for serving the Summerwood community," Shasin Shah said in the release. "We are thrilled to introduce Crust Pizza's high-quality pizzas and inviting atmosphere to our neighbors."

"Crust Pizza is not just about great pizza; it's about creating a memorable dining experience," said Comeaux. "Our 3.0 prototype, with its modern design and cozy ambiance, enhances the overall experience for our guests."

Crust Pizza Co. plans to open eight more units in Texas by the end of 2025 and will eventually reach a target of 25 openings annually.

Founded in 2011, Crust Pizza Co. has expanded from a single location in The Woodlands, Texas, to 30 restaurants nationwide.
