Christian’s has the finest pizza slice in the United States. I say this having literally come from pizza tasting in New York as well as Boston om this trip and of course previously trying slices in many, many other States. It is a bold statement, no doubt. However, let me explain. I first tasted Christian’s pizza when it was a single shop operated by its original owner in old Town Charlottesville. That was Summer of 1998. I had a slice (Avocado, no alterations) so unique I tried it expecting it to be gross but it was so delicious I judged all slices since against it, not meeting its peer until today. So, having remembered its excellence, but not having come to Charlottesville since, 25 years later I specifically returned just to try it again to see if it had held up all these years, which recipes or preparation almost never do. (Hof’s Hut in Southern California has a pot roast parmesean sandwhich which is one of the rare examples). I had seen via internet Christian’s expansion to multiple locations which was unsurprising given my prior experience. Since then, the original owner sold to a friend, but then went on to open a couple he ran himself, which is this location. The Avocado pizza slice is exceptional and stands alone. The ratio of ingredients, the crispy New York thin crust yet hardy enough to hold the weight coupled with the correct ratio of saltiness to tomato sweet is simply the best slice you can find anywhere. Of course, the standard cheese slice by which comparisons must be made is equally exceptional and I tested that as a control slice but that compares with the best New York slice places. Because the Avocado slice is singularly unique and a rarity amongst even the fanciest pizza places, the fatiness of the Avocado mixed with the chopped tomato, sauce and cheese makes it an absolute must try before you die slice. The mouth feel is perfect. Literally, if you are within 120 miles come, of if traveling come and rent a room nearby and indulge, the prices of the room will be worth the experience. The ambience is clean and comfortable which for a slice place is nice and the service was excellent.

This pizza spot is located conveniently in the Downtown Mall area of Charlottesville and always has customers dining both in and outside every time I pass it!

This is my favorite C-Ville pizza place. They have a wide variety of toppings, and their staff is very quick and efficient.

While the staff is great and the location is convenient, the food is tasteless. Everytime I order from there, the first thing I do is season the food. Add the basics for pizza, oregano, parsley, simple salt. It’s a good place if you’re looking for a friendly chat before you’re pizza

One of the best pizza places in all of Albemarle County! Slices, whole pizzas, calzones, and an assortment of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic! Nice staff, clean restaurant and patio (which is pet friendly), and food is always fresh! Great place to grab a bite, especially during Friday’s After 5! Christians pizza for dinner, Chaps ice cream for dessert – unbeatable combination! And always a great location on the Historic Downtown Mall!

I really enjoyed the pizza here even though there was a misunderstanding about our order. I went with my mom who ordered a spinach and feta pizza. I noticed fresh tomatoes (that’s fine) and mushrooms (not ok) when returned to pick up the pie.

Pizza was good, but the Margarita pizza was $26!!! A cheese pizza is $14, and +$2 for every topping. Apparently a margarita pizza has 6 toppings compared to the normal cheese, and charged us for the “extra toppings”
