Christo's Special
Anita W.

Christo's is a hit or miss. Miss if you get the pizza buffet. Pizza is on the rubber side. Their crust is probably the only good thing about it. But even though they have different pizzas to choose from, it all taste the same. Greasy and bland. Salad bar isn't too bad. When ordering the buffet, you can a choice of pasta on the side as well. It's just spaghetti noodles with red sauce, white sauce, or Mac and cheese sauce. My hits are their wings or a sub on pita bread. Wings are huge and has that perfect crisp to it. Although the hot sauce can be a little too vinegary, it's always hot and fresh! Since I've ordered a steak and cheese, or any sub on pita instead of regular bread.. I haven't gotten it any other way! Taste so much better! Their Christo's special, the way it comes, is probably the only one I get on regular bead.. and that's really good too! No matter what time of the day, you can find the parking lot full of cars! They stay busy, so more at dinner time. The wait staff and the cooks are doing a great job keeping everything in line. May take a minute, but they know what their doing!

Cheese steak stromboli!

When we came in for lunch, I saw that the buffet was closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Okay, cool. I like the food here, we'll sit down anyway. Very much calls to mind the Brick Oven Pizzeria in Clemmons, only not as much of a wait. Anywho, my husband and I were seated and our waitress, a lady with dirty blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, green eyes and hoop earrings, recommended me the cheese steak stromboli, which was majorly delicious, dudes. I'm not even kidding. It was so worth the wait (which really wasn't all that long), and I wasn't even the least bit upset about the buffet not being available. This place has been a favorite of ours for a few years now, and we're only just coming back after a while. Next time, I would love to try the carbonara.

I had passed by this restaurant a few times this week, and decided to go for the lunch buffet. Didn't read anything about the place, so I was guessing it was a local diner type place. I was seated and the friendly server mentioned the $6.99 buffet with salad, pizza, and spaghetti. The spaghetti is not on the buffet, but is brought to your table with your choices of sauce. Salad portion had a pretty good variety of toppings. Pizza selection was ample, including dessert pizzas. This wasn't great pizza, it was good. Crusts seemed to be possibly overcooked a bit. For the price a very good value. As an out of towner I did notice a couple of things that had nothing to do with the food. The exterior had red and green in the colors but the business logo is a buffalo head with wings. So . . . is this place Italian or a sports bar with wings? The place had three tv sets and all were placed above the buffet table. Nothing wrong with that, just a little different than I had seen any other place. I also noticed a lot of "no" signs: no buffet Friday night, no reservations Friday or Saturday, no sharing of the buffet, no buffet take out, etc. Removing the "no" comments and replacing them with better worded policy statements would be much more professional and positive.

Part of the interior - plain, worn, lacks comfort & warmth!

What a miserable, disappointing dining experience lunch was here today, and on all levels. We were looking forward to finally trying this place after eating at Milos in Thomasville a while back - same concept (pizza buffet with salad bar), same pedigree, totally different outcome. The service was as bad as we've experienced in a long time. The waitresses were all clumped up at a booth in the back of the restaurant, totally absorbed in personal matters and chatter. They reluctantly tore themselves away when forced to to deal with a customer. When we arrived there was only one couple in the restaurant, and of course, the "hostess" promptly lead us to the table next to them. After placing our drink order, we moved to another area of the restaurant. The pizza buffet was not setup and we were told it would be a few more minutes. We started with the salad bar, which was a pretty nice one, though the only green thing was iceberg lettuce. We finished our salad and waited on the pizza and our spaghetti, which is included in the buffet price. We did at least get our drinks refilled - yeap, we'd been there long enough to empty them. Finally, the pizzas were brought out. We sampled about 5 or 6 kinds, and were very much underwhelmed. Other than a stuffed pizza and a veggie, the slices all looked alike, they all tastes alike - the toppings less than fresh, the cheese cooked to the point of thin leather, all dripping grease everywhere. It is a good thing the lunch buffet is cheap ($6.99) because the pizza is awful. We never saw our waitress again, never were served our spaghetti, never saw a single smile from any employee, never heard a thank you, never even received an acknowledgement when we told the "hostess" we'd never got the spaghetti, nor did we have a check for the meal - from the look on her face it was obvious that I had her confused with someone who gave a damn. No need to ask if we'll be back.

The best thing about Christo's is they're cheap. Everything else (food, atmosphere, service) is fair to poor.

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.
