We Love this place. Amazing food & great staff. Everything fresh and quality top notch.

Amazing. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing restaurant ambiance. We are catering Criscito for our wedding in July and got to do our tasting. The service was outstanding! Everyone was so helpful. The pizza was some of the best pizza I've ever had and the different types of pizzas were unique, delicious, and flavorful every bite! We loved getting to try it and cannot wait to have it again. 10/10 all around. read more

The wonderful Criscito Pizza Catering came to our driveway to made food for a party of 60 guests last month. The pizza was a big hit. Everybody loved everything. We truly appreciated the quietly swift & professional folks that womaned that oven. They kept those delicious pizzas coming. It was a real treat for us to have someone else to do cooking. I especially was thankful for how easy everything was to arrange with Phil. We highly recommend them. read more

We had Criscito Pizza cater our wedding to serve our 150 guest count and it was the best decision! Phil was so easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, invited us for a tasting and let me tell you... we were in love with their pizza and the service was excellent! We couldn't wait for our friends and family to fall in love with their pizza too. Three weeks later, we are still hearing rave recurring guests how good the pizza was and what a fantastic idea it was to have pizza served at our wedding. The staff was punctual, professional and friendly. Our guests loved being able to try all the different pizzas at their leisure and they did not hold back. They came back for seconds, thirds, fourths the salad was also delicious. Thank you for such a wonderful and experience. Above and beyond what we were expecting. They had 2 people cooking and making all the food and 2 other people serving our guests at the food counter (not pictured). read more

We tried these guys again and went with the same three as the last time: the Brooklyn, the Pepperoni, and the Honey Garlic. The Brooklyn is my fave (fennel sausage and pepperoncinis) but I can see why the Honey Garlic is popular--it's a tad sweet but the flavors are nice and clean. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Pepperoni, either. The crust is paper thin and that's no accident. The ingredients are obviously high quality and fresh. Plenty of flavor on all of these pizzas. Very, very good stuff. read more

In July, I started reaching out to different pizza caterers for my son's October birthday. I asked for pricing, availability and whether they could even do his birthday because it was on the upper level of a park. I contacted Phil because I had their pizza at a friend's party. We go back and forth and he tells me he can't move the oven to the upper level of the park. Ok, that was all I needed to know and I move on to find another caterer. I did not confirm a booking OR make a deposit. And I did not speak to him over the phone; I only left a voicemail. I've worked with dozens and dozens of caterers and am always told to make a deposit before they can book me. I'd assume any professional business would do this. Three months later, Phil emails me telling me he needs a headcount for the invoice. What? I didn't make a deposit and his first email clearly says to me that you need to make a deposit to book. I politely respond telling him I didn't book because I didn't make a deposit and was only inquiring, and he responds saying he wouldn't want my business anyway. Wow, talk about unnecessary rudeness! Bummer this business is so disorganized and unprofessional. I wouldn't dare to book with a caterer who couldn't get organized or who could be potentially rude to my guests. read more

This was the best pizza ever ! I have tried many places in my life and this was the best all around. The crust is perfect. The guy who makes the pizza makes it with muscles and love. I will be making a video review soon of this place. You can check me out at @okiefoodieking read more

I cannot say enough things about the quality of work of this company. As an event planner, I have worked with Phil and his team several times they always have a smile on their face, deliver excellent food and make it very very easy. this past weekend I worked with Phil and his team on a logistically challenging wedding. Some pick ups occurred, and they went so far above and beyond. Given how challenging logistics were, you would think that there would be a disruption in service or a staff that was frustrated. It was the complete opposite they really wowed me, my couple and all of our wedding guests. If you are looking for a reliable, kind, exceptional company for pizza for your event... This is it. Phil, I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me and my couple this weekend. Had you not gone the extra mile the day probably would've been a big disaster , instead we were left with very happy people and full bellies. I am immensely grateful and I will be back!! read more

We had Criscito Pizza cater our wedding, and I think it was everyone's favorite wedding dinner they have ever had. Phil had amazing communication with myself and my wedding planner, asking the right questions and even taking the time to walk and understanding the challenging guidelines at our venue. He clearly made his services clear and managed everything effortlessly. He brought the pizza oven, and a team of serves and dishwashers that made the entire dinner a breeze. With a table of 10 different pizza options, our guests were happy, and full. It was a joy to try so many different kinds, and served as the perfect late snack as the night went on. I am so thankful we found Criscito Pizza and were able to work with Phil. read more

Great pizza tonight for a surprise 50th birthday ! Crust had the perfect amount of char and chew with 6 or 8 different types. The roasted egg with bacon, truffle mushroom, and honey were honey were awesome. read more

Look no further for your food vendor, no matter the occasion or event! I attended a wedding reception last year where they had Criscito Pizza catering, and was instantly hooked. When I got engaged last fall, we were trying to figure out the best food for our guests, while also staying within a reasonable budget. I thought of Criscito, and got Phil's contact info from my friend. From the beginning, Phil was fast in response & so communicative via email & text. He even set up a free tasting for us a few months before the wedding. We were just married last weekend, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing the pizza was, and how fun & efficient the whole Criscito team was. 10/10 recommend this company to anyone who needs catering for an event! My favorite flavors are the Honey Garlic & Carbonara. THANK YOU PHIL & CRISCITO TEAM!! read more

This was the second time we used Criscito's pizza. The first was for a Baby Sprinkle for our daughter and the 2nd time was 2 weeks ago at our grandson's 1st birthday party. Both events could not have been any better. The quality of the pizza and salads were exceptional along with the presentation. Each time the timeliness of pizza's being prepared and served was superb and the service was amazing. The quality of the pizzas were outstanding and so delicious! Everyone loved the breakfast pizza. Wonderful food and the communication and timeliness of Phil's crew was great! Can't wait to use them again! read more

My husband and I got married in October and hired Criscito Pizza for our dinner and OMG we cannot recommend them enough! Everyone had only amazing things to say about the pizza, the way it was so easy to pick from the buffet, and how good the quality of food was. It was so easy to work with them - they had great pricing and were extremely professional and efficient when it came down to the wedding day. This was one of the best parts of our wedding to be honest - cannot recommend Criscito pizza enough! read more

We hired Criscito Pizza for our November wedding. I want to start by staying, I reached out to many vendors, and I was drawn to Criscito within my first few conversations with Phil. I could tell immediately that he was someone I wanted to work with because he was professional, friendly, and accommodating. Customer service is important to me, and we got high quality service from him and his team. To top this off, the pizza is SO GOOD and at a very reasonable price. We got so many compliments on our food both the night of the wedding and the days to follow. I highly recommend them for your catering needs! I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with them! read more

I actually don't eat a lot of pizza, but whenever this food truck is near me, I just have to go! Pre-COVID, my work would have a rotating schedule of food trucks for lunch, and this one's in my top 3. I tried a few of their pizzas, but my all-time favorite is the lasagna pizza! I order it so much, the workers already predict that I'm ordering it without having to ask. haha. The pizza is thin style, and very cheesy with a crunchy crust. Super delicious. :) The workers are always so friendly and cheerful, and they never keep you waiting too long for your order. Definitely give them a try! read more

This may be cheesy, but this Criscito Pizza Truck is grate. I ordered a Calabrian pizza, which had chilies, fennel sausage, basil, garlic, olive oil, and tomato sauce. I am somewhat lactose intolerant, so I enjoyed that this one did not have as much cheese as the others. The pizza was tasteful and the right size for me. My one "slice" or slight criticism was that the middle of the pizza was a bit soggy and droopy, so my toppings close to there fell off when I picked up my slice; otherwise, it was a great pizza and I enjoyed the rest of it. Regardless, I would still try Criscito again! read more

I finally tried their food truck after seeing the reviews and lines at the Casa Mira View complex. The pizza did not disappoint! I ordered the Calabrian which is topped with chilies, fennel sausage, garlic, and basil. It was one of the better pizzas I've had in SD. The crust was crispy, chewy, and a had good char to it. The pizza just comes in one size, which I believe is 12". It has 6 small slices and comes out to $14. Pay in cash to avoid a 2% credit card fee. I'll be sure to check them out again when they're in my area! read more

I ran into this Neapolitan wood fired pizza truck at the Burning Beard Brewery. I was ready to crunch so had them make me the Margharita Pizza and added fennel sausage to the mix for a little bit extra. Altogether, the pizza came out to $13. The pizza was quite the looker when it came out of the oak wood burning oven. The colors were great and the crust looked terrific. Immediately I was impressed with the flavor and texture of the crust. The texture was very fine and soft with just a bit of a subtle crunch on its exterior. It was not firm so it requires a gentle fold as you eat it. The sauce was light in flavor and very good. The basil was fresh cut and tasty and both, the fresh mozzarella and Pecorino cheese were terrific. I was definitely very happy that I went with the addition of the fennel sausage. It was tender very flavorful. It had a very good seasoned pork flavor and the fennel, all be it mild, was tasty. It was a great pizza and I had not issue putting down the whole thing. The young lady in the truck who took my order and made my pizza was awesome! read more

Amazing service! Our wedding guest loved the pizza! They were so excited to hear they have an actual restaurant to go to for another taste! Great taste and great people! read more

The only bad thing I could say about them, is that they don't have locations everywhere!! Criscito Pizza catered my wedding a few years back, and O-M-G!!!!! So Good! Great Pizza, Great Price, Great Communication... EVERYTHING was beyond perfect! I still get calls from friends and family asking where we found them, unfortunately they all live out of city/ state. They took my (crazy bride) suggestions and accommodations and were so sweet about it. They were no fuss, clean and SO YUMMY!!! I HIGHLY recommend them. I was and still beyond happy with how everything worked out. Now I'm craving it again! LOL! thanks again for being a part of my big day. read more

Criscito catered our graduation party of 35 people. After speaking to several different pizza caterers, we chose Criscito. They offered two hours of pizza instead of 1.5. They also had a variety of 10 different pizzas instead of only a few. They arrived on time and prepared the salads freshly on site. We opted for both salads and they were both huge! The pizzas were awesome! Our party had lots of different favorites, but I think the honey garlic disappeared most often. The girls making the pizzas continued to replenish as often as needed for the entire two hours. We highly recommend using Criscito Pizza for your next catering event. read more

Best late night snack any wedding could ask for! Efficient,, friendly, accommodating, and organized. An awesome experience since we met them for tasting til they left after two hours of unlimited pizza. Guests were raving about it...weeks later. Highly recommended. The mushroom pizza was amazing, they make vegan options & they bring their own service staff that was awesome too!! I can't say enough about them!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Phil, his staff and the delicious food from Cristcito's Pizza!

I would definitely invite them for another event. read more

Great mobile woodfired pizza! Hired Criscito for our 20 person party at our home. They arrived early, set up, and made the pizza all in the rain! Our pricing included a big salad which was a huge plus, and a variety of pizza types They provided small signs to signify the types of pizzas, which was also a plus. Our favorite was the Honey Garlic--it went fast!! Pizza kept coming and Jason did a great job. Thanks for making our party planning stress free and fun1 read more

Stellar experience! Such an amazing date spot and the pizza was amazing. Can't wait for barstool sports to do a pizza review !

Used them for my sons outdoor wedding reception and the food was excellent, the staff was excellent and their ability to always have a hot pizza for over 150 people was excellent, all while providing never ending salads! Let me just say, EXCELLENT!!! read more

Absolutely incredible! We used Criscito Pizza for a Christmas party with 65 people at our home. They made our party great! Courtney & Taylor arrived 90 minutes before they were to serve. Set up looked awesome and the pizzas coming out hot & fresh. Tasted wonderful! Everyone thought I was a genius to hire these guys. Thank you Phil, you were so wonderful to work with! Courtney & Taylor, you guys were outstanding!! read more

We recently worked with Criscito for my daughter's 5th birthday party at a local park. We had 60 guests consisting of about half little kids and half adults. Food is always hard because you want to please the young picky eaters but want to give the adults a little break from having to eat what their kids eat :). Criscito's pizza was the perfect choice because the kids were happy with the plain cheese pizzas and the adults were able to try some unique flavors. Everyone at the party loved the pizza - favorites were the honey garlic and the fig! Not only was the food great but the service from booking to the very end of service was on point. Phil and team were great to work with and they just knew what to do. Sometimes hosting can be challenging because you have to talk to guests and manage food/kids/games, etc but I never once had to worry about the food yesterday. Taylor and Janae managed everything and the serving table was always full and fresh. Highly recommend! read more

Been wanted no to try this place out as they are currently on our work rotation of food trucks. I had ur carbonara for my first pizza and I'll admit it was pretty darn good. All their pizzas are made to order so expect at least a ten minute wait. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other creations read more

Criscito pizza catered my wedding at the Wood Shed in October 2018 and it was perfect! All of my guests loved the pizza, appetizers and salad!

We hired Criscito Pizza to cater my husband's 60th birthday party which included about 90 people. I cannot say enough great things about Phil and his company. They were friendly, competent, efficient, on time, easy to work with and very personable with our guests. And the pizza was DELICIOUS!! My guests continue to rave about them. I would highly recommend them and definitely use them to cater our next party. read more

I tried their pizza last week for the first time and it was great. They made it fast and it was delicious. Seriously, they said it would only take 5 minutes to make and it did! I got the Honey Garlic and Mori pizzas. Both were so good. I also like the fact it's not such a thick crust and it's not greasy like how other places can tend to make it. I'm looking forward to trying it again and the other pizzas they offer. PROS: -They make the pizza so fast -Fresh ingredients -Wood burning mobile oven -Affordable pizza with extraordinary taste CONS: -I wish they offered larger sized pizzas read more

We catered Cristico Pizza for a company event. Everything was great from the service to the food. I am a pizza fanatic, and all of their selections were really delicious! Lots of variety, and thin slices so you can enjoy more of the good stuff. read more

Can't get enough! I love this caterer. I have had them twice already and both times I was satisfied. The first time was in Carlsbad at the Flower Fields yelp elite event. They had all of the different flavors of pizza out for us to try, some with fig and honey, some with egg and bacon, or even the classic pepperoni. The margherita is my favorite! The 2nd time was at my friends wedding in Jamul. They were hired to cater it. What sets them apart from other pizza is the stone oven used to cook it it in along with fresh ingredients. You can definitely taste the difference. The only place for improvement is to have pizza ready for cooking before the next one comes out, this way the wait isn't as long. Other than that, I really wish they had a few locations so we could eat there more often. Until then, I'll have to keep my eye out for events they will be at. read more

There are many reviews raving about Criscito pizzas. I couldn't agree more about the quality and sometimes unique toppings. In this review, I will focus on their service at their catering events. Criscito did our family event of 30 guests. I did all the paperwork with Phil who is so easy to work with. But the star of the event was Janae who managed the event single handedly. She came in early to do her setup and ready to serve by the time the guests started arriving.. I know this is kind of taken for granted. But compare this with another caterer we had two days later for a wedding that didn't start serving until 45 minutes after scheduled start time. So, punctuality matters for a successful event. Janae setup a beautiful buffet table but unfortunately we had to move it indoors due to less than ideal weather. Janae adapted quickly and started serving in the dining room which is a bit walk from her oven She didn't complain. When it is time to end the serving per our agreement, Janae noticed that all the expected guests were not there yet. She left some half cooked pies with us to heat up in our own oven and serve the late arriving guests. How about that for service and quick thinking. Thanks, Janae for making it a memorable meal for our guests. We can't wait to invite Criscito back. read more
