About
Childhood friends Zia Qadiri and Jay Saadat spent three years testing recipes before unveiling HillCrust Pizza in February 2023, and that obsessive attention shows in every detail. Their modern Neapolitan dough begins with 00 Non-GMO unbleached flour fermented over five days to build aroma, texture, and flavor that can't be rushed. Certified San Marzano tomatoes from Italy and fresh mozzarella complete pizzas that honor tradition while adding their own California sensibility. But here's the twist: alongside those Neapolitan pies, they're slinging authentic Philadelphia-style cheesesteaks—the 'Hilly'—because why choose one regional obsession when you can master two? The 100% Halal menu makes their achievement even more impressive: creating authenticity while expanding who gets to enjoy it.
