    Stopped in again the other day for the salad and pizza buffet. Was seated immediately and the friendly staff brought out drinks out quickly. Salad bar always has a ton of options, but I wish they had the available dressings labeled. Always face the classic pizzas, cheese, pepperoni, veggies, and a few not so typical topping combos here and there. Each time I come they seem to have a different dessert pizza available as well. Bathrooms have always been clean, never seems to get too noisy in the dining area, and laying at the end is quick and easy. Pizza quality is definitely better than most chains, but not wood fire/brick oven level. But for the price, you can't beat it!

    Onion Rings

    Stopped in, first time in months. Service was slow but not too slow. Ordered Sub and Onion Rings. Server forgot OF brought FF instead. Back to kitchen. Onion Rings were so greasy and as shown, burnt beyond recognition. Had 2, rest were terrible. Food quality has slid downhill dramatically since my last visit. Probably lost my business!

    Hanging out in Lexington so we stumbled upon Christi's Original and decided too stop in. The parking lot was pretty full, but there was still plenty of parking. The first impression is so crucial to a business which is why you need a good host at the door greeting and seating the customers. The host that seated us was dull and cold. She could have been better if she just cared a little. Now our waitress Mandy was full of energy and very attentive. The food was really good. There were quite a few pizza selections but there was no way to tell what some of them were topped with, and for vegetarian and non pork eaters that was a concern. There was a lady who did her best to stand behind the counter and tell what the different pizzas were; (in between restocking and cashing folks out). The salad bar is good, with lots of choices, but again there was no way to tell what meats were on display. The only complaint we had was that some of the food was not that hot. I would give them another try.

    Had the penne arrabbiata and loved the kick of heat it brought. The sauce was tangy and spicy but didn't overpower the rest of the dish. The pasta itself had a great texture and held up really well to the sauce. I added grilled chicken which was a good call. Staff were kind and didn't rush us even though it was a bit busy. The space was open and clean with a nice view of the kitchen. I'd absolutely come back to try another pasta next time.

    This is my first time at this location. We went for lunch and arrived around 1:30. There was about 15 to 20% of their tables and booths utilized at that time so not very busy at all. They had a salad bar and a pizza bar that also included dessert pizza! The salad bar looked fresh and had a pretty good selection of salad fixings.I ordered the steak and cheese wrap, which was good but also rather greasy. To be fair, my server told me that it was greasy when I was asking about recommendations but I still ordered it. I had hot chips with it, and they have the good ranch! (if you know, you know!) I'll have to go back and try their grilled chicken Caesar wrap, and also their wings which I hear are pretty great! Our server was very friendly, accommodating, and quick. I failed to get pictures of the menu, so I'll have to do that next time!

    Our server was great! She was very sweet. My Green beans were a little burnt so I spent majority of the time peeling off the breading. I also got the blackened chicken Caesar and it was sooooo salty and had so much dressing that my lettuce was soggy. The Inca and fries were good tho

    Christos pizza has become my favorite pizza place in Lexington. As a born and raised New Yorker Im so impressed by their pizza the cheese is so good. They also have great wings hood ranch and their mango dipping sauce is so good !

    Wings are still my go to. I recently tried the chicken sub and it was decent! My overall favorite is their ranch. Iykyk.

    My work group stopped in here recently and had such a yummy lunch!…read more I have ordered from here many times on Door Dash because the food is not super overpriced on there and even with the fees and whatnot, it's affordable for me to order and have delivered to my work. Anyways, this visit was in person in the restaurant. There were four of us and we went early for lunch. We were one table of maybe 3 that came in while we were there, but there were so many take out/to-go orders that walked out the door while we were in there. They have redone the front area where you order and you can see all the different pizzas they make. I chose the Meat Lovers (1 slice) with a side salad and drink and it was very reasonable! The rest of my group opted for the two slice and drink lunch special. They all loved their meals as well. I highly recommend stopping in here if you like pizza!

    Updating my 2022 review. Pizza here is still really good. Great New York style pizzas with…read moreseveral options to select from. Delivery, carryout and dine-in all available. Outside of the pizzas, I have also tried the fried ravioli and tiramisu, which were both good. Summary - Primarily NY style pizza, but they do have other crust options - Pizza is sold by the slice, 14", 18" and 25" - Pasta, calzones, sandwiches, and even a burger on the menu - Prices higher than chain pizza joints but worth it - Carry out and delivery orders can be placed using the Toast app

    We went here for dinner and ordered a large Deluxe pizza and a large steak & mushroom Calzone…read more Both were very good. The calzone was very full and flavorful-the steak was great-no gristle or fatty pieces to battle. The large New York style pizza was the best and most generously topped New York style pizza that I have ever had. Yum! The fresh house made hand tossed crust was amazing! The sauce was very tasty and the toppings were very good and as aforementioned, plentiful. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant-especially for pizza. In my opinion, it is the best pizza in town. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Our dining experience was fantastic here.

    So I saw the high rating and assumed it would be good. Unfortunately it was just ok. We ordered…read morefired raviolis for an appetizer and got 7 average size frozen raviolis. Then we both ordered pesto pasta dishes one with chicken and one with shrimp. There was no real pesto on it. Just what appeared to be olive oil with dried tiny basil flakes and no garlic . I tried putting some powdered Parmesan on it to improve the flavor but it didn't work. Maybe the pizza is better but I don't recommend the pasta if you looking for true Italian style cooking . The garlic bread was also very dry and crunchy. Our server was very nice and patient with us. Standard booths somewhat comfortable but no real ambiance or music. Overall really not worth the prices or the quality of the food.
