Cristoni Pizzeria on Sunset is the best slice of authentic NY style pizza in Los Angeles. In the heart of West Hollywood on Sunset Blvd, Cristoni serves up authentic pastas, pizzas, sandwiches, salads and calzones. The menu was created by a fourth-generation pizzaiolo who learned his skills at Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, his family's restaurant in Naples. BBQ Chicken, Gourmet Greek and the Cristoni Combo are just a few of the many authentic pizza creations at Cristoni. Cristoni Pizzeria serves lunch and dinner, they invite you to come in and enjoy a slice of their mouthwatering pizza or a delectable calzone on the outdoor patio in the heart of the West Hollywood. Cristoni Pizzeria is quickly becoming known as the best pizza west of the Hudson River. Come into Cristoni Pizzeria hungry and leave blissful.

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.

Key Points

  • Outdoor Patio and DELIVERY!!!
  • Sandwiches, Calzone, Salads
  • Delicious Pasta and Antipasto

The Inside Scoop

  1. 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.
  2. Know Before You Go - The restaurant is located inside the same strip mall as Sunset Tan. (Not that we watch that show or anything.)

Solid pizza joint

by eriklarsen

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.

Pros: great pizza, perfect crust, reasonable prices, home like atmosphere

Cons: sauces and cheese could be more flavorful if you are very finicky

A HIDDEN GEM FOR TRUE PIZZA LOVERS

by crooklynboy

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!!

Pros: ADDICTIVE

Cons: ADDICTIVE

Cristonis Has Done it Right, Wow!

by Hugo90210

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?

Pros: The Pizza, Ambience, Cleanliness, Choice of Sodas, Seating, and People Watching

Cons: My Weight Gain

The Best Pizza In L.A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by billyzoro

I love Cristoni pizza, this place has the best pizza in LA. I am a pizza expert and lover and it shows:) I used to eat at Vitos but this place puts Vitos away!!!, both for taste and value. There pies are fresh and cooked perfectly, thin crust just like a NY pie should be like. The guy behind the counter was cool and hooked me up with 2 pieces for the price of one, was a lunch special and a great value. This will be our new favorite spot.

Pros: good old school pies

Cons: none
