Sports fans who fancy themselves as foodies will enjoy Urban Crust with its spectacular wood-oven pizza and authentic Italian food located on 15th Street in Historic Downtown Plano. The starters on the menu include Italian classics such as antipasto Toscano and insalata Caprese. Signature 12″ pizza options are the Margherita, Godfather, Urban Amore, Quattro Formaggi, and Black & Blue. They also offer pizza of the month and the option to create your own. Additional dishes are limited, but excellent, like Pappardelle Alla Bolognese, F-Chicken, Pasta Al Forno, Linguine ai Gamberi, and Urban Cowboy Ribeye. There are quite a few options available for brunch and the drink menu follows through with plenty of red and white wine options. If beer is your thing then this is one of the very few places that carry Peroni beer from Italy, but they also have the regular domestics and a few craft beers. There is a third-floor ice bar named 32 Degrees that features live music on Thursdays and a DJ on the weekends. Urban Crust also has a mobile pizza oven available for catering.
