Pizza. Our family LOVES pizza. So much so, we could be called pizza snobs because we are seriously PICKY pizza connoisseurs.
Coming from the northeast where pizza is king, it is pretty hard to find a good pizza here in the midwest with a fantastic crust on par to what we are used back east ('cause it's all about the crust!). So we are always on the lookout for the next best 'ZA!
With school starting our schedules are getting busier, so having a good pizza crust — ready to put toppings on and throw in the oven — is a great solution for those crazy days when we are all home at different times and need a fast, delicious, and healthy meal.

Enter Crustology
We make our own pizza at home often, but the crust usually trips us up. It's never just quite right, whether I make it from scratch or buy it pre-made.
So I was excited to try Crustology, a hand-crafted midwest cracker crust, that you can order through the company website. The crusts come in three, and are shipped right to your home fresh! And... orders over $30 ship free. Perfect, especially since you can freeze the crusts. (They'll also last fresh in your fridge for five days). Plus right now you can save 10% by using code MACARONI10 at checkout!
Another great thing? Crustology crusts are peanut and tree nut free and vegan, perfect for my vegetarian daughter.
And the taste? Let's just say they got it right. Crustology did not disappoint. It's the new family fav in our home.

Here are the Crustology pizza crusts you can pick from:
- The OG: This one is the original Crustology crust. A thin cracker crust that has a long fermentation process that gives it a delicious flavor. Any topping, any sauce will do ya!
- The Micro Brew: Take the OG and add Wisconsin-brewed dark beer and fermented beer grains. Um, yes, please! For this one we love to add pulled pork, grilled onions, provolone and a drizzle of bbq sauce.
- The Herb Infused: This cracker crust is my daughter's favorite. She loves to top with fresh mozzarella, sliced garden tomatoes, and roasted garlic.
- The Mini OG: This 9-inch is the perfect go-to for teens to make their own snack or meal after school or in between school activities. Quick and fast.
- The Mini Gluten Free: This delicate deliciousness is made with gluten-free flours to create a crispy, crunchy thin crust pizza.
- The Pizza Party Pack: This is the one I love!! You get 3 each of the OG, The Micro Brew, The Herb Infused, and special pizza seasoning. A great deal for pizza lovers!

Pizza recipes we love
Pizza is the one meal you can make any time of day and kids — of all ages — will be happy to not only eat it, but help you make it. Plus you can get creative: Hide spinach under the cheese, make an egg pizza for breakfast, or take those leftovers from the night before and reinvent them on a crust topped with cheesy goodness. Even the pickiest eaters won't turn up their nose!
Crustology has a plethora of recipe ideas for you on their website — I for one cannot wait to give the Crustology Quesadilla and The Grazing Goat at try. And I know my family is eyeing up the S’mores Pizza. So many za’s to choose from and thankfully with 3 crusts per package, it will take no time to try them all!
