About Crushed Red
Healthy choices, artisan flavor, and fast-casual food made for real life.
Crushed Red was created around a simple idea: people should not have to choose between food that tastes good, food that feels good, and food that fits a busy day.
From fresh chopped salads and soups to Folded Flats, Chop Pockets, shareables, and artisan pizzas made with our own recipe dough, we serve clean, flavorful choices for lunch, dinner, catering, and everyday convenience.
Food You Can Feel Good About Eating
At Crushed Red, healthy food is never boring, complicated, or restrictive. It should be fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and easy to enjoy — even on your busiest days.
That belief has been part of Crushed Red from the beginning. When veteran restaurateur Chris LaRocca asked why truly delicious, healthful food should take longer to serve than unhealthy food, it sparked a fast-casual restaurant concept built around fresh ingredients, artisan preparation, speed, sustainability, and better choices.
Today, Crushed Red continues to serve thoughtfully crafted food that fits real life — whether you need lunch between meetings, dinner for the family, catering for a group, or something better than the usual fast-food stop. From fresh chopped salads and soups to Folded Flats, Chop Pockets, shareables, and artisan pizzas made with our own recipe dough, Crushed Red makes it easy to choose food you can feel good about eating.
