Jim Hochendoner and his cousin, Gary Bugielski, opened Crust Cafe and Pizzeria in Upper St. Clair just six months ago. Already, they've experienced a steady flow of customers.

I immediately thought there was something wrong or really gross. He said that that was the best thing he has ever eaten and wolfed the rest down in about 2 bites.
