The smell drew me in the first time while visiting Lowe's and so glad I took a chance. A line is always a good sign that there are likely regulars and that spells something good is going on. The menu is posted on the outside and is simple fair type with burgers, sausages & cheesesteaks. The one young guy running the grille was friendly and recommended the cheesesteaks which I gotta say as a lover was suspicious. However I was willing to risk it on the off chance this food stand in a parking lot could actually deliver a fabulous steak. The price was affordable for a footling around $10 and added a bottle water and tip came to $13+ The cheesesteak was completed in around 8 minutes wrapped up and in a bag with napkins. I popped it open in the car and was amazed at the pure size and amount of meat. The smell was glorious with steam waffling above. The bread was fresh and authentic to Philly. The only thing left was a bite and it did not disappoint one bit, just wowzers! It was good enough to return prior to writing a review. It ended up being a carbon copy of my success with another incredibly delicious cheesesteak. This time I used a nearby picnic table to enjoy. This is a chain food stand. The owner has two located at Lowe's in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach on Holland Rd. If you love cheesesteaks then Dominic's delivers a masterpiece and you will not be disappointed. A 4.5 rounding up and later learned Yelp friend Terry was a super fan of their steaks which was cool. Don't forget to pick up a punch card when you buy 6 your 7th is FREE!

I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and was told upfront that it would be about a 20-minute wait on the grill, which I was completely fine with. But after 50 minutes had passed, I finally had to go up and ask about my order. When I finally got my food, it was clear things were not handled well. The fries were made immediately and left sitting in a closed Styrofoam container the entire time my sub was cooking. By the time I received them, they were a soggy, wet pile of fries with zero crisp left. As for the sub itself, it was about 90% bread and maybe 10% actual filling. It took three hard, crusty bites before I even reached any meat--and when I did, the flavor was disappointing and lackluster. Definitely not what I expected from a place known for subs. Their "Italian dressing" is really just a ton of oil with a tiny splash of vinegar. They should just call it what it is instead of something misleading. To top it off, I had to ask someone to wipe the table before sitting because it wasn't cleaned. Overall, this visit was a miss from start to finish. Long wait, soggy fries, a flavorless sub, and unclear menu descriptions. I really hope they improve consistency and quality, because my experience did not match the reputation they seem to have

The pizza was as good as I've ever had. We drove from Elizabeth City to Chesapeake on a friend's recommendation, and she couldn't have been more right. As good as the food was, and it was top notch, the staff was as friendly and amiable as you could ask for. Recommendations are the Meat Amore pizza and garlic knots. read more

The tables and chairs had been completely removed with only a fridge holding drinks and a table stacked with empty pizza boxes. It seems that during COVID-19 pandemic, they had pivoted to a take out only model, understandably, and stuck with that model ever since. At the time, take out only was not an option we were looking for, so we left in search of another dine in establishment. - Parking - Center lot. They are located in the same center as Soulivia's and Crave Bakery & Coffee Bar. After running errands, we returned to Cristaldo's and decided to order a pie to take home. We ordered a large pizza with half The Cristaldo's and half Meat Lovers. The pie took about 20 minutes to make and we stayed in the restaurant while they made it. It was nice that they had a TV in the room to pass the time. The pizza was still nice and hot when we got home. They use fresh ingredients, including the mushrooms! I've mentioned this in previous reviews regarding pizzas. A MAJOR pet peeve of mine is when pizza joints use canned mushrooms, but nice to know that Cristaldo's have higher standards and use fresh mushrooms! Their pie is a thinner, underlying crust with an average size outer edge crust. Not too big and not too small. It was pretty tasty, but I wish that they had put a tad bit more sauce. I like it saucy! The price was on par with other pizza places I would say. Look forward to trying more pies on the menu! Stay safe, Friends!

After finishing all the wings, I could only manage a slice and a half before being completely full. Even as leftovers, it still hit the spot. They're right around the corner from me, and with holiday hours they were open when a lot of other places weren't, so I figured I'd give them a shot since I'm new to the area. Glad I did. The service was super friendly--staff kept checking in and offering refills when my drink was low. Everything came out quickly and piping hot.
