Crust Pizza Co. will soon dish up Chicago-style flavor at Sendero—a 75-acre mixed-use development by Preal River Companies actively building along Hwy. 71 in Bastrop.
The details
As reported by Community Impact last November, spokesperson Melanie Chin said Crust Pizza Co. will open as part of Sendero’s first retail phase. Its interior and outdoor dining options will total approximately 2,850 square feet.
Construction, scheduled to conclude May 18, is estimated to cost $565,000, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

“We’ve been intentional about curating tenants that create connection and add everyday value for the Bastrop community,” he said in a news release.
Mason Mote, co-founder of Pearl River Companies, echoed that sentiment and noted his excitement for Crust Pizza Co. to become a gathering place where families and friends celebrate milestones together.
“That’s what makes a development like this come alive,” he said.
