Red Bank is saying farewell to retro-themed Crust Pizza on Friday after 18 years of its signature cracker-thin pizzas.
“So it all changes, I guess, you know? As life does,” said customer Jack Kirton while drinking a beer at his usual booth Thursday afternoon. “I’m gonna miss it … I always sit at this table with all the mug shots.”
Kirton said he has eaten in that same booth by himself, with family or with friends for years.
The Signal Mountain Road pizzeria is scheduled to close after service Friday. Customers will have one last chance to order dishes such as The Don pizza, topped with Alfredo sauce, spinach, artichoke, roasted garlic and Parmesan, or the cheese crust appetizer, made with a quad, a quarter of a 16-inch pizza.
“I love the pizza, its style, it’s good, you know, man,” Kirton said as he sipped his beer. “I’ve always lived close, and I just swing by to grab a beer and quads.”
