Cristino's Coal Oven Pizza

Solid pie. Fresh taste and good flavor. Definitely deserves a score in the 8s.

Good flavor but zero crispy undercarriage like I like.

Best pizza in Florida? I think so! It could have used a bit more sauce but otherwise I’m not complaining. Crust was perfect, with very little flop.

Thought it’d be crispier being coal oven but the sauce brings it into the 8s. Curious what Dave graded it

Very good. Not my favorite style. Margarita pizza, I didn’t like the basil on top. Light pizza, tangy sauce, and amazing crust.

Crisp, thin charred good pizza. Nice crust.

These people know how to make pizza. Perfectly cooked coal fired pie. Best I've had in Florida!

Place packed , sauce is bland, price/quality ratio stands out and bumps the score up

Excellent pizza! Fresh ingredients, coal fired. Friendly staff,good atmosphere. $14.99 for a large pizza is a bargain for the quality

The ingredients are fragrant and vibrant. Best crust I have ever eaten!

Marks first video pizza review of the Quattro Formaggi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, ricotta, gorgonzola, basil & oregano) with mushrooms added.

Minimal flop, great undercarriage, light crispy crust. All around great pizza.

Wow- best pizza around Clearwater….period

Lived in Florida all my life. Most pizza here is trash but cristinos is my go to. Definitely worth a drive of up to an 1hr

I’ve had this pizza probably 5 times now. Consistently fantastic. Would recommend. This is a “margarita” add sausage and bacon.

Perfect char, excellent balance of ingredients, crust had good crisp.

Fantastic Coal fired pizza, love the homemade sauce with a nice tang. Love the crispy crunch

This pizza was fantastic. The tangy sauce, flavorful crust, and using slices of cheese that gives that picturesque pull and better flavor. Also, the waiter up-sold me on the gelato, which is also delicious. But, this was not proper coal-fired pizza. Very blonde cook. Well, at least that was the case for me. As I was leaving the restaurant, my disappointment continued. The table next to me received their pie and it appeared to be cooked perfectly with amazing char. If my pie was cooked like that, easy 8+ score. So, I’m leaving this place a little bummed that my pizza was undercooked, but consoling myself with this amazing gelato. Hopefully will return for a re-rate in the future.

This place was recommended by a local friend. Let me tell you it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant itself screams old school pizza joint. The coal fire oven is worth going to see alone. The pizza was amazing. So far the best I have had in Florida. Of course it’s my style, real old school coal fire. The crust was delicious and great char. The sauce was slightly tangy and fresh. The cheese was amazing and not greasy. Overall a must try if in Tampa!!! It really gave off Johns of Bleeker vibes. Highly recommend and I will be back!!!
