The interior
Alan W.

Today was time to try another pizza place. My favorite pizza is New York style, but I am open-minded and have often loved other varieties. At Pinellas Pizzeria we were warmly greeted and well-served today by one of the friendly guys that runs the place. We decided on an 18" pepperoni pizza. I am guessing it was Chicago style?? It was very good. It had a little more thick dough to it than I cared for. It was also unique to see the pizza sliced into squares and rectangles. I also noticed the order of toppings was different than what I'm used to. In New York the toppings go over the cheese. Here the cheese goes over the toppings. I loved the pizza sauce. It was a very thick & tomatoey & flavorful sauce. The cheese topping was not skimpy. The pepperonis tasted good as well. It was fun trying something new. Pinellas Pizzeria proves New York certainly does not have a monopoly on good pizza.

Veal Parm. Absolutely amazing.

Probably the best thing about this place is their willingness to cater to your irrational sense of proper. While dining here, some guy wanted a pizza with Parmigiano in place of mozzarella because that's the "right" way. They smiled and he loved his pizza. I ordered the veal Parmigiano because I was unable to find a review for it. The portion was large enough for two and old-school amazing. It came with a side of pasta topped with their legendary meat sauce. I'm used to substandard service when dining alone. At this joint tho, I seemed to get extra attention. Two of the owners dropped by to chat with me and the server was extra friendly, too. One of the owners explained that much of what they offer originated outta a whole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop place his parents operated in Connecticut since the 60's. Their menu seems limited but is still somehow stacked with "absolutey-must-try" entrees. Before leaving, I ordered a steak bomb to go. I reheated it later and it was spectacular. I had to try the pizza with the funky crust,too so I ordered that a week after my initial visit. While the crust wasn't my all-time favorite, it was a refreshing change from the usual. Their pizza sauce is definitely next-level. I saw the lasagna someone else ordered while eating there and immediately vowed to return for some even tho it's not something I generally order. I haven't tried it yet and would order some right this second if they were open on Mondays. The hype is real, guys.

Large pepperoni and sausage. Less than $25 out the door!

I've reviewed before about this place and I am back as a reminder, best dang pizza around!!! And, it is a serious pizza! Good tasting crust and sauce and lots of cheese and toppings! The only place I can buy one pizza and feed myself and my two adult sons! We drive 20 minutes to pick up and totally worth it! Also, they are extremely nice!!! Go get a pizza and enjoy!!!

As many of you may know I eat pizza often and I trie to visit differ establishments to see who's pizza is best. I got the steak grinder, a pepperoni pizza, a calzone and some fries. We ordered to go and brought it home with us. I ate half of the steak grinder and saved the rest for the following day. The pizza went straight into the fridge . It was only 2 of us eating and we had a lot of food. The food: was delicious the steak grinder I ate tasted very authentic and the bread was nice and crispy just the way I love it. Warning on the pizza I ordered a small pizza and was a thick crust pizza cut into squares. I only wrote warning so that you don't expected a hand tossed pizza. Either way food is worth it. The atmosphere: although it's in a small shopping plaza on the side of the building and the plaza looks dated. Inside not much different in terms of dated but that can be overlooked the food is the prize here. The service: great customer service and the front desk lady (sorry forgot her name) was exceptionally nice. She talked with us as she worked until we received our meal. The owner of the restaurant is the one that's makes the food The leftover: I am not a big fan of leftovers but let me tell you, I warmed my 1/2 a sub and the pizza the next morning and absolutely still tasted amazing.

The best pizza in Pinellas County

Their sauce has just a tad of spice just perfect and the pizza is to die for! The owners are super!

This is primarily a coal-fired pizza joint (hence the name) with a whole lot more to offer. Let's start with appetizers! I highly recommend the fried calamari, we sometimes order a second helping of it because it's just that good! The soups and salads are freshly made and my friend tried the pasta and bean soup. The portion was huge. Pizza toppings are a personal matter, but if you want to really get the authentic Italian experience, don't forget the anchovies on your pizza! A little goes a long way! This visit I had pasta instead of pizza, specifically Beef Ravioli with cheese and meat sauce. It was good and I'm going to explore the pasta offerings more thoroughly as we enjoy future visits. You'll notice the staff is young and engaging. I've noticed over the years that a happy staff is a good bellwether of the quality of the dining experience. I always have fun with the cozy atmosphere at Cristino's. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

A…read moregroup of six of us stopped in on Friday night and were amazed at how different the place felt. Same decor, same tables but, it definitely had a positive upbeat atmosphere, it hasn't had in several years. We met the current owner who stopped by each table checking in and making sure patrons were satisfied. Our server was sharp, he knew the menu well, he knew what the ingredients were and he knew how things were prepared. We were a bit concerned when he took our orders because he didn't write anything down but, everything came out perfectly. He checked on us several times and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food was absolutely, spot on delicious.Sandwiches were large and filling and expertly prepared as though some little grandma was preparing them. The dinners were large and well seasoned, needing a box for leftovers. The pizza was the star of the show, thin, crispy crust with toppings edge to edge and flavor that was as robust as anything in Chicago. The sausage had that scrumptious fennel taste that distinguishes it from any other place in the country that, and the fact it's cut into squares. Having lived in Chicago over 20 years, it was an awesome experience when requesting the gahlick and the 'regano and it came out in shakers. That really seals the deal!! The only thing missing from this place compared to those in Chicago was the addition of ordering homemade creamy garlic salad dressing on the salad. All in all, this place is top notch, give it a try and tell Joe, Jack sent ya!!

I do have my go to's, but I am always looking for a new fave to add to my list. I even follow a FB group for Chicago pizza in Florida. Unfortunately, this is not it. Yes the thin crust is it and the square pieces yes, but the crust is a no bc there's no flavor. There's no sauce. Which even with adding sauce on the side it didn't do much for it. It's just a crunchy piece of dough with a lack of sauce and cheese and Hawaiian. So I will stick with my nearby fave which still crosses off the boxes and is made to perfection - Paul's Chicago Pizza in Clearwater for thin crust. I do see there are locations for Little Italian in Naperville IL, which I always frequented, but this for sure is not it right here. For some maybe, but not in my family. Still this is a nice location inside. Spacious, full of light, comfortable, and friendly service. Check them out and see what you think.

I ordered the same pizza as the last couple of times (18" Supreme) but I just need to add a couple…read moreof small updates. For one thing, the 18" pies are now $2 or $3 more than the 16" ones. No big deal for a bigger pie, actually. One thing I neglected to mention about the toppings on this thing...they are fresh! No canned mushrooms or soggy pepper chunks on this bad boy. Again, the veggies are plentiful and there's enough protein (sausage, pepperoni and mutz) to keep the flavor going. I know Westshore just up the street uses canned veggies on their pies...yet another valid reason to stay away from there. Now here's an interesting side note...I made the call to place the order. For a split second I thought I dialed the wrong number. A lady with a thick Asian accent answered and I had to slow down a bit to make sure I understood her and conveyed my own information properly. When I get there to pick up, indeed an Asian lady (Vietnamese, actually) was behind the counter running the place. I usually get the owner himself, but he wasn't anyplace in the small store. This time, meanwhile, their newest menu was plastered onto the pizza box. One of the oddities I noticed in the appetizer section of their menu is "Vietnamese Egg Rolls." I'd seen it previously but thought nothing of it. So putting two and two together I figured out that Mrs. Owner was in charge today! Now the egg roll app makes a lil more sense! So the big thing out of all this is what I'd said previously...I am glad to support these local "little guy" operations. I'm particularly proud to do so when I see a hard working couple running an operation like this rather than filling some third party's pocket. She was a very nice, polite lady, much as her husband is a well mannered man. Both are friendly and solicitous, and they know how to make a mean pie. I highly recommend them; I would just get it to go, because the shop itself wins no prize at all.
