    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!

    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.

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!
