Welcome to

The Crushed Tomato​

Family-owned and operated pizzeria passionate about creating unique and unforgettable dining experiences.

About Us

Our journey began in 2011 when a father and his son embarked on the exciting venture of opening our first location in Summerville. With a shared love for brick oven pizzas, they aimed to bring the warmth and flavor of this culinary delight to the local community.

Fast forward 12 years to 2019, when The Crushed Tomato extended its roots to Lafayette, marking the inception of our second location. This expansion brought new challenges and opportunities, prompting the involvement of the daughter and her husband, who eagerly stepped in to lend a hand and contribute to the success of the Lafayette establishment.

As the patriarch took a well-deserved retirement, ownership dynamics evolved. Currently, the Lafayette locations are proudly owned by the daughter and her husband, while the Summerville spot remains under the careful stewardship of her mother and brother.

This unique family collaboration reflects our commitment to maintaining the authentic, welcoming atmosphere that defines The Crushed Tomato.

Our dedication to providing a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience sets us apart. Inspired by the family’s love for brick oven pizzas during their travels, The Crushed Tomato was born to bring this exceptional culinary experience home to the local community. We take pride in being the go-to destination for those seeking the uncommon delight of brick oven pizzas in the area.

At The Crushed Tomato, we believe in the power of family, tradition, and exceptional food. Join us in savoring the delicious flavors of our brick oven creations, where each bite tells a story of passion, dedication, and a love for sharing memorable moments with our cherished community. Welcome to our table – where every pizza is crafted with care and served with family warmth.
