About

Boise Crust was founded with a simple mission: bring authentic Detroit-style pizza to the treasure valley.

Growing up in London, Ontario - just 121 miles from Detroit - founder Kirk Gothard developed an appreciation for the food, culture, and pizza traditions that made Detroit famous.  After moving to Idaho, he noticed authentic Detroit-style pizza was difficult to find, so he set out to build the kind of pizza shop he wished existed.

What started as a food truck in 2025, quickly gained a loyal following. Boise Crust has since expanded into its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Meridian, Idaho, while continuing to serve the community through catering, events, and its food truck.

Today, Boise Crust combines Detroit pizza traditions with Idaho Hospitality, creating a pizza experience that is uniquely Boise Crust.
