We noticed this restaurant driving by. It looked like something out of the ordinary ... fresh, hip & cozy. Just the kind of restaurant that we look for because it hopefully is an indication of hip, current food. I had their Margherita pizza with added goat cheese and artichokes and it was by far the best pizza I have ever... more

I read several positve reviews before trying Cristinos, and this place did not disappoint. The pizza is quite good. Thin crust is absolutely delicious, pleasing sauce, good cheese. I remember one of the reviewers noted that the pizzas with lots of toppings can be a bit soggy, and that was my experience as well. Stick with simpler "Margherita" etc and... more

Pizza is fantastic. Pepperonis are small and very fresh, unlike anything else around. This pizza is better than Anthony's because it isn't burned and the ingredients taste and look fresher. We had lunch there and the place was packed. The place is small and the room heated up. It felt like the coal oven was in the room. This place... more

I live nearby and drive by Cristo's often. I checked the reviews and decided to give them a try. I had the homemade ravioli, it was good, not memorable, but good. It's 84 degrees feels like 91 degrees right now in Florida so we chose to eat inside, unfortunately I don't know if it's always hot inside or there was... more

Just ate there Saturday evening. Very impressed. I had an acquaintance recommend Cristinos, and after looking through all the great reviews here on Trip Advisor I had to check it out for myself. Husband and I shared a Cristinos salad, it was delicious. And of course we ordered their Marinara pizza. The ingredients are high quality and fresh. We didn't... more

This is by far the best pizza in the area! My husband and I always stop here after visiting Clearwater beach and it's the perfect end to our day. The pizza, the gelatos, and the pasta dishes are all really tasty! (Although you can't come here and not try the pizza, it puts all other pizza joints to shame!) Just... more

We went here on the advice of tripadvisor. The place is a bit out of the way and not at all scenic. Saying that the food was very nice and reasonably priced. We all enjoyed it. more

Wow. What an amazing dinner here. Probably one of the best we've had on our trip to florida. We're a family of four from New York City and we have to say the food here is one of the best italian we've ever had. The pizza is better than the some of the best pizza in brooklyn and nyc. Better... more
