Our Journey and Passion
Krave It started the same way many great things do… with two kids from Queens, a dream, and a whole lot of hustle.
About Us
Back in 2015, Vishee and Jenna Mandahar opened the first Krave It in Bayside, Queens with one goal: create the kind of food they personally craved — over-the-top pizzas, crazy sandwiches, and flavors that made people stop scrolling and start talking. But more importantly, they wanted to build something that represented their values.
From day one, family came first.
While building the business, Vishee and Jenna were also raising four amazing kids — Kayden, Harper, Londyn, and Chloe. Their lives quickly became a constant balancing act of school drop-offs, basketball practices, dance recitals, late nights at the restaurant, and early mornings back at it again. Some days started with coffee and ended with pizza dough on their hands at midnight.
But through the chaos, something special started to happen.
The community embraced Krave It. What started as a small neighborhood spot became known for its creativity, viral menu items, and the energy behind the brand. Customers didn’t just come for pizza — they came for the experience, the passion, and the feeling that they were part of the Krave It family.
As the brand grew, so did the vision.
Today, Krave It is expanding beyond its Queens roots with multiple locations and a growing franchise family. What began as one small shop has grown into seven locations and counting, with new cities and communities joining the movement.
But no matter how much we grow, the mission stays the same: Serve incredible food.
