Crushed Red

At Crushed Red, we believe food that’s served quickly should be great food, and great food should be good for our planet. We also believe that it takes experience and true artisan know-how to make this happen. Our chopped-to-order salads and hand stretched pizzas are prepared to exacting standards by people who have a deep understanding of food and care about what they serve. In addition to our commitment to quality, we’ve designed our restaurants to produce very little waste: because we care about our guests, and the impact we have on our community and the world around us. Established in 2012. When veteran restaurateur Chris LaRocca and father and son entrepreneurs Ralph Kalish, Jr. and Powell Kalish embarked on creating a completely new restaurant concept, they asked themselves why there were no options for truly delicious, healthful foods that could be served as quickly as their unhealthy counterparts. It sounds like a simple requestÐto make healthy food taste really goodÐbut it took 114 years of collective experience and some pretty impressive credentials to make it happen. So they went to work. They assembled a team of true experts: artisans that have spent years perfecting their craft.
