Located at 1308 Buffalo Rd, Rochester, NY 14624, Cristo's Wood Fired Pizza & Pasta operates as an italian restaurant serving Rochester in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. The most common schedule is 4–9 pm. It is closed on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Rochester is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Rochester is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

I love the lowlights and great parking Same servers and cooks so you’re comfortable Delicious calamari and Caesar salad Very customizable pastas and pizza Rich ingredients and even can bring your own bottle with a $20 corkage fee

The ambience is warm and cozy. We suddenly decided to showed up here and immediately got the table. The place was crowded. We had ordered Mediterranean pizza and Pasta Con Funghi..and both tasted amazingly fresh and delicious. Personally I like saucy pasta over dry ones and hence I really enjoyed it. Pizza was really great too I must say. The prices are little more on the pricy end I would say but I guess it was worth trying!

Me and my partner LOVEE Cristos. it has truly become our place…the one restaurant we can always count on for an amazing experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and almost home-like. The owners, Chris and Missy, greet us almost every single time with genuine kindness, and it’s the kind of hospitality you don’t see often anymore. The food is consistently incredible. Our go-to dish is the Rigatoni Bolognese. Hands down one of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and it’s one of those meals you think about long after you’ve left. Their woodfired pizzas are also unbelievably fresh, with that perfect crispy but soft crust that clearly keeps us coming back again and again lol The staff deserves their own shoutout. The servers are always friendly, accommodating, and so attentive without ever feeling intrusive. They truly elevate the entire dining experience. One moment that really stuck with me was on my birthday last year. they surprised me with the most delicious cheesecake I’ve ever had. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and it honestly made my night. It’s little things like that that

After reading all of the great reviews, we decided to visit Cristo's on a recent Saturday evening. We were the only customers there when we arrived sometime before 5 PM. We were seated immediately with menus. After reviewing the menu selections, our server returned and took our orders of Chicken Marsala and a two topping pizza. The restaurant seating is a mix of mostly 2, 4, or 6-seat tables with some additional seating at the bar, which is also located in the dining room. Our meals were served up hot approximately 15 minutes later. By that time, the restaurant had started to fill up with customers. Both of our meals looked delicious but, after tasting the Chicken Marsala and the pizza, we realized that both dishes were a huge disappointment. The sauce on the pizza dominated the rest of the ingredients as neither the toppings nor crust had much of any flavor. The chicken in the Chicken Marsala had very little taste as well, and the sauce was just a watery mess that the pasta sat in. The service was good but not outstanding. Both meals with beverages totaled a bit under $55 plus tax. Based on our very disappointing first visit here, it's not likely that we'll return. Thanks for read

This is a very nice restaurant worth the trip if you don't live in the Rochester area. From where we live it was a 47 min drive but well worth it! My brother suggested this restaurant because he is friends with the owner. I don't usually drive far to go to a place we have never eaten at before but this place we were very surprised and enjoyed our experience! If you have never heard of this restaurant they have Italian pasta dishes and wood fire pizza. I'm not sure if the pasta is freshly made but it was well cooked. Everything on the menu sounded delicious so it was hard to decide on a main dish. The portion sizes of everything we ordered and what I saw looking around at others were very large. You will definitely have enough to bring home for another meal. The restaurant has a relaxed feel to it and the decorations were very nice and fit the feel of the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and didn't feel rushed. They have a set menu but they do have specials. The drinks we ordered that were alcoholic were made very well not to strong. All our dinners were delicious! When you take a first bite and say "wow this is really good" that's a good dish! This is a good experience and I defini
