As I think back, I am pretty sure all of my visits to Crush have been excellent. Fantastic place for happy hour and pizza, a special (or casual) date or a dinner with parents. I recently took my son for a steak. Great Italian food and great with the meats!

Good not great. When they have French onion soup it’s great and their stroganoff is good to great depending on when you get it. Love the cheese garlic bread. I’ve tried a handful of other things and been underwhelmed. Still my second choice for Italian food in town. Service and atmosphere are nice.

Our server, Katie, was very impressive. Professional, personable and accommodating. My brother wanted to split a Wedge salad(who does that?), but she made it happen. Katie has a wealth of knowledge on their wines, cocktails and menu. All of which made for a great dining experience. My compliments to the chef, all the staff and especially, Katie👏

The shrimp scampi was the best I’ve ever had. Awesome!!!

Originally from Long Island, New York, I’m a lifelong lover of Italian food, and it’s a rarity to find a place out here that truly hits home. Crush does it every time. My daughter goes to Chico State, and when I visit, this is our spot. Crush has become our mom-daughter date night go-to, and we’re never disappointed. The atmosphere is warm, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently delicious. The bruschetta is our absolute favorite — fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Cheers!

After a laughably bad experience here a couple of years ago, my wife and I ventured in tonight to give them another shot. The first table we were seated at, we were being splashed by their water feature. We requested another table and while their faces told us they thought we should stick it out in the splash zone, they moved us. At 5:30 we were seated at our new table. We perused the menu and decided on drinks and apps but unfortunately never got to order. Despite 4 or so different waiters walking by, our table seemed to be unclaimed. Knowing this meal would cost close to $150, we decided to cut our losses after being ignored for 20 minutes. On the way out, my wife politely let the staff at the host stand know that we have been waiting for 20 minutes with no one stopping by our table for a drink order and we were going to just go ahead and leave. Both staff members stared at us blankly and never came up with a response of any kind- good or bad. This was almost identical to the service we received on our first visit in 2023, but that time we were inexperienced with what was to come and sat through an excruciating 2.5 hour long experience filled with wrong drinks and food and almost nonexistent service. Do your self a favor and go anywhere else.

The waiter was excellent. The food was also excellent. When we first got there, open tables that remained open for the entire 45 minutes that we waited. Nice wine list just overpriced.

I had an order on DoorDash, and it was just one item. I was kept waiting for 55 minutes for this order. Giving priority to in-store customers while making online customers wait is not ethical. Also, your staff marks the order as “ready” on the app before it actually is, which is also unethical. This misleads people and puts them in a difficult position. I hope the restaurant management takes this warning seriously and becomes more attentive in the future. Because of this, the best rating I can give you is 1 star.

Wasn't sure if this place would live up to the hype. I was very happy that it did.
Arrived ten minutes before happy hour ended. Most places won't even bother to offer it to at that point but the server at the bar made sure we knew so we could get in an order before it closed off.
Drinks were excellent. Gorgonzola salad was excellent. Crush pizza was excellent. Dessert was excellent. Price to food value was excellent.
Everything was great but the 3% service charge on the check is just a weird odd thing to do. It's unnecessary really. It's like management trying to squeeze a few bucks from unsuspecting customers. Why? That's what big corporations do. Don't be like big corporations dude. Everything at this place is amazing. Why ruin it w some weird af 3% service charge

Great food! Highly recommend any of there pizzas, especially a great deal during happy hour. However, happy hour fills up quick ! Best Pizza in chico by far! Service was slow at times but the really good food and classy vibes made up for it! Very good desserts too!

Overall this place is good. Tasty quality food. A pleasant enough atmosphere (although a bit warm) and professional service. One HUGE thing though......the bread they serve pre dinner comes with oil and balsamic......and the oil is VEGETABLE OIL!!! ???? Are you actually serious Crush? Absolutely disgusting!
Not only is "vegetable" oil (it's not even from vegetables) a super highly chemically treated toxic sludge that is high heat treated which makes it oxidized, then bleached, and is rancid and deodorized so you can't tell......beyond all that, its NOT a dipping oil. What in the world are you guys thinking? ?. Poor poooor move. Even moreso for a place that presents themselves as a classy restaurant. Make it pure olive oil or stop serving that atrocity altogether. Horribly foul and took a solid 2 stars off my rating.
