Cristaldo’s Pizza

Best Pizza in the 757. But go way beyond that. Food good overall. Our weekly stop. Thin crisp crust with fresh ingredients. Daughter loves the spaghetti with meatballs. A small quiet family spot.

Our go to pizza place in Norfolk is in decline so we took to Unilocal to find a replacement. We drove 30 mins to try this place. We were not disappointed. Their pizza was awesome as was the service. They are our new pizza go to place!

We just moved out here and found this pizza place. Great staff, great service, great pizza.

Always amazing food! Extremely friendly and professional staff. Try any pizza or the eggplant parm! Only things I would change about this place: they always play the world news on the TV, which is fine for adults, but if you have kids with you there’s a good chance you may not want them hearing/​seeing what comes on. Also, they run the credit card behind the counter, and ask then ask you if you want to leave a tip and for how much… This is just kind of awkward, especially when you the person ringing you up was your waitress. They should get a new register that allows you to put in your tip privately.
But seriously the food is great and so is the staff so they still get 5 stars from me!

With so many pizza places to choose from in the Chesapeake area, I am so glad we found this one. To sum it all up the search is over, this place has by far the best pizza. I got a pepperoni and garlic pizza, fresh ingredients, thinner slices, and hand tossed crust.
Highly recommend!

Two weeks ago, I decided to try out this pizza place. I called in our order for a small pepperoni. They said it will be ready in 10 minutes. So I got there exactly after 10 minutes to find out that they have yet to bake my pizza. The girl by the counter, who seemed like she didn’t want to be there, told me my pizza will be next one to be baked. Another 10 minutes passed, I had to walk up to the counter with a new person there and asked for my pizza. She had no clue. So I had to tell them again who I am and what I ordered. She looked confused and started asking the guys making the pizza where my pizza was. And then told me that it’s just going into the oven. Sigh :(The pizza, when I finally got it and took it home, was very delicious. It is just sad that the service could be a lot better. I will try other pizza places next time.

One of my favorite places to catch lunch on a Friday. Been going here for about 6 months, and the food is consistently good. Service has always been good. Love this place.

Great lunch stop on the way to OBX. Nice crispy crust, with great sauce, toppings and cheese in perfect proportions. Generous portions including the house salad which was really fresh; great house balsamic vinaigrette. Calzone was also great and huge.

Food was tasty, but the service was absolutely horrible. Drinks were never refilled, food orders were incorrect and or forgotten. Our table came to the conclusion that hiring young high schoolers to be servers is not always the best business decision. I think that this place would have a better shot at making it if the servers actually cared about their job. Just my opinion. Will not be a returning customer with so many other delicious pizza joints in Chesapeake.

Best pizza in Hampton Roads by far! You have to try it if you live within 50 miles of it. Yes, it’s that good.

Yum ! 2^nd time here! So good! Try the lasagna pizza omg! Only complaint is they don’t have fountain drinks. So u are served canned sodas

My husband and I use to go here a lot. The pizza was awesome! We would drive 30 min out of the way to go there. Then we went there a couple months ago and the pizza wasn’t cooked all the way. Was soggy and soaked through the box. I called to complain and there wasn’t a manager on duty so I left a message… Never heard back. Tonight my husband and I decided to give them another shot, again the pizza was sub par and not cooked throughly. When I called to speak to a manager there wasn’t one there… Again… When I told the girl I was calling to file a complaint she put some guy on the phone who was rude and basically called me a liar. After some arguing it came out the this guy; the unprofessional, rude man that had just answered the phone without EVER introducing himself, was the OWNER! Will never give this place my hard earned money again.

The pizza is fantastic and we will definitely be repeat customers!

We’ve been here several times since out move to chesapeake in march. Love the food love the service. My husband was stationed in new york city for several years and while mot exactly the same it takes us back.
The staff is always super nice and prompt. Drinks stay full. Very clean. We love it for take out.
If you go I really love the tiramasu and dessert calzone. It’s a must have!

Small Family Business at it’s best! True neighborhood pizza joint that does more than pizzas. You can see the owner cooking up a storm in the kitchen. I like that because you know he will take pride in the food served like no one else will. I have tried their Calamari, Chicken Parm, Pizza with everything, all great. Young staff that is respectful but not pushy. Definitely recommend it!

What a nice and quaint family restaurant with outstanding food. I was in town visiting family and Unilocaled pizza, this little gem came up. The thin crust NY style pizza was delicious. All fresh ingredients and the pizza sauce was fabulous. Can’t wait to go back.

No doubt the pizza was delicious, but next time we’ll get it ‘to go’. Dining area is subpar, along with the wait staff. Plan on getting your own drinks, napkins & utensils & spending more than average for your meal.

This place is great! Best NY style pizza around. At $ 15 for a 18inch large pizza, there is no complaint here.
The food is always fresh. The seating are inside is small but it works. We have eaten inside a few times and order take out all the time just wish they had delivery!
The staff and owners are always friendly! We call and order the same thing so much they know when it is us lol.
I have seen some complaints about prices on here and a few other review venues… Just remember, «good work ain’t cheap, cheap work ain’t good.»

Having just moved from Norfolk (where awesome restaurants are a plenty!) to the country the pickin’s are slim but we’re die hard eat local folks and this was on our to do list. With the bad reviews CP has received I had to see for myself. While I was extremely disappointed in my fried ‘shrooms (they were overcooked and hard to crack) the bruschetta had a great flavor with a little bite. Definitely something I would try again. I had the Cristaldo’s mini pizza (pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, ‘shrooms, onions and green peppers) and the flavor was quite good. I’d definitely order it again but not to eat at the restaurant. The thin crust couldn’t support all the toppings fresh but I bet a reheat wouldn’t be a problem. It was a lot of pizza despite being a mini. I ate 2 slices (with my fork and knife) there and brought the rest home. The tiramisu was a nice treat after we got home. My husband had the baked ziti, my mom the baked ravioli and my dad the spaghetti and meatballs. Those meatballs coulda been a burger! I had some of my husband’s ziti… not bad, not the best but pretty good. Some folks have commented on their costs. My party of 4 ate dinner, had 2 appetizers and I had a dessert and our bill was only $ 71. I think that’s pretty reasonable for the amount of food we received. Our waitress was quite attentive. I will say that place does a BOOMING pizza take out business. I’ll try them again despite the hard ‘shrooms.

OK, here it is, short and sweet: Simply the best pizza in VIrginia, just go there and see for yourself!
