In the 1980s, Hooks, Texas, was a tight-knit community known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals. A town that offered residents a simple yet fulfilling way of life, where neighbors knew each other by name and time seemed to move at a gentler pace. Against the backdrop of sprawling farmland and rolling hills, Hooks in the 80s was a place where family values thrived, and community bonds ran deep. Nestled in the quiet town stood a humble yet beloved spot known simply as The Pizza Rage. This unassuming hole-in-the-wall pizza joint, housed within the rustic walls of a historic train depot, held a special place in the hearts of locals. It was there that a young boy discovered his love for pizza and the joy of family time. Memories from that time planted a seed – a dream of one day opening his own pizza place, where families could come together to create their own memories of a delicious slice of pie.

Fast forward to 2024, and the seed taking root. A dream finally becoming a reality with the opening of WanderCrust Pizza Company in the heart of Magnolia, Texas. A charming town that embodies the same laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals the boy experienced in the 80s and offering a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. A town boasting a rich history dating back to its roots as a railroad stop.

WanderCrust Pizza Company, inspired by a family’s passion for exploration, a love for pizza and the open road, embodies the spirit of wanderlust. A spirit represented by the iconic red VW bus that sits proudly in the logo. Though the family’s own VW bus may not be as iconic, it serves as a symbol of their shared love for adventure and discovery. With each slice of pizza served at WanderCrust, they hope to capture the essence of those carefree road trips, where every twist and turn led to new and exciting experiences.

WanderCrust Pizza Company offers something a little extra - the Detour Wine Bar. Styled with a vintage train depot theme, Detour transports patrons back in time with its charming décor and cozy ambiance. Adults can take a detour to unwind and indulge in fine wines, craft beers, and artisanal cocktails, all while enjoying live entertainment. Detour provides the perfect ambiance for a night out with friends or a romantic evening with a loved one.
