WHY GILBERT COMES BACK

BECAUSE GILBERT DeserveS EVERY SINGLE, DELICIOUS BITE!

Verde at Cooley Station didn’t need another chain. It needed a place that knows your name, remembers your order, and puts enough food on the table to prove it loves you. That’s Crust Gilbert. Scratch-made Italian where the Recker Road neighborhood gathers, celebrates, and stays too long — on purpose.

The menu spans dozens of dishes, almost all made from scratch, with pizza dough hand-tossed the same way it was on day one. Our sauce recipes haven’t changed because they haven’t needed to, and garlic knots are a crowd favorite that gets the meal started.

A manager visits every table, every night. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your glass is full and your meal is perfect from start to finish.

Verde at Cooley Station was built from the ground up as a restaurant-centric, mixed-use community that brings together dining, retail, offices, health and wellness, apartment residences, and a central park called The Green. Enjoy live entertainment, fitness classes, and community events that keep the neighborhood active well beyond business hours.

First time coming here. Wait time was long (waited an hour when we were told 30mins); wish we knew about making reservations ahead of time. Luckily they were having a movie night in the shared area so that helped distract the kids. Side note, no wait if you sat at the bar (can't do this with kids). Once we sat down service was fast and our server was delightful/helpful. Our child wouldn't eat the kid's pizza because the pepperoni was salami; be warned ahead of time parents! I shared my pasta with my other child; perfect portion for sharing. Husband decided on the personal pizza - it was a lot of food. We will be coming back and next time we'll be making reservations ahead of time to avoid the long wait!

Such a nice gem in Cooley Station. The ambiance was nice. The staff was nice and informative. We started the night out with some Whipped ricotta which I highly suggest trying. Some other dishes we tried were the chopped salad, the salmon and the Stromboli. All were amazing!

Caught the lunch menu (11-3 on weekdays) and the food was amazing. I had the chicken parm sandwich and my daughter had the pizza slice and Caesar salad. We both tried everything and there are zero complaints. I'm also not usually an appetizer guy, but the spicy garlic knots sounded good. DO NOT SKIP THESE. So freaking good. Large portions, so be ready for that, but the food is delicious and service was fantastic.

The entire experience from the hostess/seating to the ordering/dining was excellent. Our server was fantastic and not only made great recommendations, but checked in at the right times, refilled drinks perfectly, and just made us feel comfortable. We had the Short Rib pasta and the Linguine and clams. Both were excellent. Can't wait to come back and try more!

This place was very family friendly. My kids loved their food, which they are hard to please. They split a GIANT calzone. The Linguine and clams was wonderful. All around a nice meal and good value.

Great food. HUGE portions...we took a lot home with us. The service was great and the price was reasonable, too. We got two entrees and it was about $50.

We visit Crust in Gilbert regularly. I’ve brought friends and family over the years and we always have great service and especially if it’s Kylie or Krystal and Dan next door at the blue heron! My only request is to add the bowls for the lunch menu to dinner. The salmon bowl was absolutely delish! Thanks y’all for being a great neighborhood go-to spot!
