What People Are Saying About Cristoni Pizzeria

In Short
What do "Entourage" star Kevin Connolly, Boston Celtic Sam Cassell and L.A. Clipper Cuttino Mobley have in common? Aside from being well-known names, they share a love for pizza. And together they own Cristoni Pizzeria, a small slice of Sunset Strip gold that's tucked back in, of all places, a strip mall. Despite its digs on one of L.A.'s ritziest boulevards, the joint keeps things casual. Patrons order from the menu (simple hanging chalkboards) and then squeeze into one of only 3 black leather booths. Things get a bit fancier in the kitchen, however, with fourth generation pie slinger, Enrico Sautto, who was trained in Naples, Italy. His thin and stuffed crust pizzas span everything from the expected margherita and biancho to the bolder pizza tartufo with shaved black truffles, porcini mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.

This is not a super fancy pizza joint but a solid pizza place at that, not too many varieties but everything is good and the service is quite friendly. Can sometimes see Chris there who is always very cordial to customers, true gentleman, and gives a great relaxed welcoming vibe to the place. Not sure if they deliver but if you live in the area it's definitely the best pizza around and deserves to do well.

I grew up in brooklyn eating at places like L&B SPUMONI GARDENS. Never did i think after all my years in LA i would ever taste a pizza worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence.. CRISTONI is simply the best pizza around!! The crust is perfectly crisp.. The cheese and the sauce are so delicious!! They must import the water. Anyway, i'm so happy it was recomended to me.. By far my new favorite place!!

Cristonis is by far the best pizza in L.A. The sauce which is what really makes a pizza a Good Pizza is to die for. It has to be home made. Then there's the thin crispy crust. Yum Yum. With all the transplanted New Yorkers in LA you would think someone would have gotten it right before Cristonis, but Nope. Cristonis has done it, and done it right. I can't comment on any of the other food as I never make it past wanting anything other than the pizza. Good Job Cristonis, my taste buds have never been happier. Oh yeah, parking is easy. The place is spotless. You can eat off of the floor. There are great tables out doors, and there's nothing better than sitting outside people watching. There's hotties walking everywhere. Damn, is it open now?

Where to Sit:
The place is bound to fill up as the bars on the Strip empty out. If the three booths are already spoken for, don't be deterred. There are also tables out front underneath red umbrellas.
Know Before You Go:
The restaurant is located inside the same strip mall as Sunset Tan. (Not that we watch that show or anything.)
