    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.

    I won't be going back. This used to be my favorite pizza place. Quality and service have gone way down.

    Solid pizza on flavor but can be a little heavy. Wings are on point. Nice salad bar if you go to the restaurant

Ordered all three items to share, and each one was a good choice. The Brussels Sprouts were perfectly cooked, not with the outer leaves burnt like you often see! The SW Egg Rolls were nice, but not quite as flavorful as those at Chili's. The items are not made in house, not even at Chili's, they are purchased frozen from a supplier like Sysco or US Food. I would order this again, and the Blue Cheese dressing was very good. The Cauliflower Bites were equally good, and I switched out the aioli for Blue Cheese, and it was perfect. I realize this is primarily a wood fire pizza place and I'll try one a some point, but these three items were plenty good!

Asked for cake that was on the daily special and it was frozen and inedible. Our waitress didn't even know they had cake. We went to celebrate a birthday. I will not be going back and spending the money we spent tonight. Do better with your service and your food. Spending $400 is a lot for terrible service and some food that was inedible and the rest mediocre. We sat at our table with our food for a full 10 minutes with no silverware after asking 3 times. Sat for 42 minutes waiting on food. Do better!
