Good pizza, great salads
Located in the Safeway shopping center on State Avenue, Cristiano's offers great food at fair prices. Their salad and pizza combination is arguably the best value in town.

Salads are piled high and are a meal by themselves, even if you order a small size. The Italian Chef salad offers generous portions of pepperoni and salami along with strips of provolone and mozzarella cheeses. The spicy Italian dressing compliments it perfectly. For a lighter salad, try the Mediterranean, offering ample amounts of crumbled feta cheese and black olives. The chicken Caesar salad is fine, but a bit bland compared to the others.

The pizzas have a soft, fluffy crust and a sauce that walks the line between sweet and spicy. Toppings are generously applied. The House Favorite is completely covered in a layer of pepperoni, with sausage, olives and mushrooms placed on top and cheese melted over the whole lot. The Rustica is a nice pizza for a change of pace, made with Roma tomatoes and pancetta.

The service is hit and miss, being rather rushed and frantic during dinner hours but attentive and helpful during the slower lunch hours. If you're looking for dinner, you'll be better off ordering take-out. Aside from the questionable service, waits of a half hour or more for a table are common.

Still, the food is excellent and the price is right. A dinner for two averages about $20. Strongly recommended.    [08 Aug 2004 17:15:54]

Best around
Great food in large quantities for great price. The service is friendly. Where else can you go to get a pizza salad combo that can easily feed two people for $7?    [18 Apr 2005 17:03:04]

It's where all the locals go!
Whenever you go to a small town, who better to know where the best place to eat than the people who live there? Well in Marysville 9 out of 10 people well tell you Cristiano's is the place to go. Salads that are so tasty that you may just enjoy that for a meal. Pizza that has fresh toppings with a zesty sauce and huge pieces of pepperoni! Cristiano's is a real treat for the whole family.    [08 Oct 2005 12:33:00]

Wonderful Restaurant!!!!
Our whole family absolutely loves this place! While I have to agree that the wait and the service during dinner hours is annoying (much better to take out at this time)We would recommend it to anyone!    [18 Feb 2006 00:39:40]

Great food. Huge portions.
Don't be fooled with the strip-mall look to this place. This place has some of the best food in this state. Stick with the signature dishes (recommended below) and put up with the average service. Expect to wait in line (the food is THAT good). The ambiance is OK, but the food is so good it is worth it!!!    [18 Jun 2007 18:26:03]

Delizioso!
Cristiano's has been my favorite local restaurant for quite sometime. Depending on the time of day, there may be a wait - but it is worth every minute.
The service varies. When it's busy, you may be forgotten about for a while, but it's never been awful. Besides that, everything about Cristiano's is perfect! The food is mouth-watering & cheap, the restaurant is intimate and the waitresses are hilarious.
Highly recommended!    [20 Oct 2007 17:37:51]
