Pete Christy, the head sports anchor for News Channel 11 (NBC) in Lubbock, challenged West Crust to his annual eating contest. Pete and his two compadres met up at WC to see which team of three could devour two of WC's pies the fastest! The two pies: the Hill Country, and the new Buffalo Chicken pizza. All the guys gave it a great try, but by the end of the competition, WC's 'Crusties' prevailed! Watch the video by clicking the link below:

Pereira Pastures - Local Dairy, Local Cheese!

WEST CRUST | artisan pizza pies — Thu, 27 May 2010 23:33:11 +0000

We are stoked to announce that we are now purchasing all natural and organic feta cheese from Pereira Creamery in Abernathy, Tx. Owner Albert Pereira is super proud of his family farm:

"We are located just outside of Lubbock Texas in a small town called Abernathy. Our farm consists of 160 acres that have been in native pasture for the last 14 years.

We relocated to Texas from California from a family Dairy which my father started in 1971. I am married to Veronica, we have two daughters Meghan 7 and Athena 2.

We had a dream of starting our own grass based dairy and marketing milk and cheese. We stumbled across this farm that had been abandoned for 12 years and in distress. Together, we have worked very hard at bringing the farm back to life.

Come taste Albert's AMAZING feta cheese on one of our pies!

Little writeup in TEXAS MONTHLY! .. no big deal.. :)

Last week for the Lunch Spesh by the slice

WEST CRUST | artisan pizza pies — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:27:05 +0000

Beginning next week, March 29th, we're gonna be 86ing the lunch special by the slice. We realize this was a convenient option, but after trying it out for a while, it's become clear that the price is too costly for our young company over the long-term.

Our thoughts:

1. Quality: Our concept is based on super high quality pies that are both constructed of the freshest stuff we can find and served fresh, crispy, and hot off the bricks in our oven. Holding the pies for any amount of time - especially under a heat lamp - lessens these critical qualities.

2. Speed: Many, if not most people still order whole pies at lunch, and the absence of the waves of lunch special pies really speeds everything up for everyone else. This way, everyone can get the exact pie they desire as quickly as possible.

3. Waste: As a result of rotating new pies thru the lunch special, most all the old pies were wasted. This is wrong on multiple levels, and proved too counter-concept.

As a new company, we're working out lots of the R&D in-store, along with all our staff and faithful customers. Much trial & error, testing, and feedback have been and will continue to be necessary to our success as a pizza shop. This process is all about defining who we are. Thanks to everyone who has helped us so far, and we invite everyone to come along with us as we shape this concept into the WEST CRUST that many more will hopefully enjoy in the future!
