Craig O’s Pizza & Pastaria

Some of the best za around. I like the alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce. Usually get pepperoni, italian sausage, breakfast bacon, carmalized onions.
(Something about the BB works with alfredo)

I’m so sad this place has closed. Come back!!!
I admit, I’m a pizza snob and this place never failed to deliver. Loved the pizza and service! They even brought me soup one time because they heard how sick I was over the phone when making an order.
The only negative thing I can say is that their employees would complain about the manager/​owner?

Craving for pizza for lunch one day and in our neighborhood we did some research on Unilocal and this place said C’mon in… and we did.
We ordered a large wheat pizza with pepperoni and beef.
Within a few minutes, pizza was pippin hot and the pizza wasn’t drowning in sauce thank God! I loved that we ordered thin crust, it was really good. And they deliver… oh yes!

The Greek gluten-​free pizza was tasty and the draft beer was cold and delicious. I’ll be back for those. Not a fan of the tiramisu… Pretty bland.

My first visit to Craigos. Counter help was a smart a$$. Example, «we like to see what the menu looks like before we order» to which he said ‚” it’s white with black letters”. Only 4 tables in use in restaurant, but we had to walk around to find a clean table. Underside of my chicken is burnt. Meatballs are good. Pasta was watery and over cooked. I’m hoping this was an off night. They have a lot of great reviews. I’m gonna try them another time before I make my final decision about this place.

I enjoyed

Still hittin them 5’s! lol
My manicotti tonight was not up to par, very runny & wet. Kids pep/​sausage pizza was great, husbands meat lasagna was tasty & my daughters shrimp Alfredo was good too. I called simply to let them know (it was a to-​go order) & Bob took care of it in top notch, Craig-O’s fashion. Offered to have another order delivered, but I declined-​not hungry enough to waste another order. Instead he took it off my bill & assured he’d take care of my next order.
Happy customer, again.

Great neighborhood pizzeria.
I’m a Craig O’s fan. I’ve been to all of them. This is not the best one, but it’s still really good. I live close by, so I’m here often. In the RR/​Pflugerville area, this is your best bet for pizza.
The place has always been clean, the food is consistent, and the price is fair.
The pastas aren’t as good as the pizza, in my opinion. The salads are big and good (be sure and order creamy cilantro dressing). The calzones are also fantastic.
I’m not a fan of they’re marinara sauce. It’s full of carrots and seasoned poorly. Their Italian sausage is like crumbled taco meat. It’s still flavorful, but the consistency might catch some people off guard.
They can be slow to deliver… Or they can be fast. It’s mostly unpredictable.
Lastly, some have complained about the demeanor of one of the managers. While I would agree that he is a little too aggressive with his customers, he’s also very good at taking care of people. This is something you just have to get over.

Excellent greek pizza! The crust was light and the toppings were fresh. The beer recommendations were on point as well! The gluten free pizza was delicious and half the price of what other joints charge…

This place rules. The pizza rules. The employees rule. The deals rule.
The service at every Craigo’s that I’ve been to has always been freaking excellent, this one in particular has some cool dudes there.
Make sure you get a Craigo’s card, I’ve filled out like 5 of them and you can’t beat a free lunch or dinner!

Not the best pizza ever, but pretty good. Not greasy, which was nice, but the sauce was kind of bland. Salad was really fresh, but the balsamic vinaigrette seemed to be all vinegar. We’ll try another place next time.

Craigo’s has always been good. Now with the addition of craft beers it’s GREAT.
Fantastic pizza and a good selection of beer on tap and bottled — it just doesn’t get any better than this.
We used to go there now and again. Now we are there every week. Keep up the good work Bob.

I went to Craig O’s for the second time today. The first time I came with my family for lunch and we split a big ol’ salad and a couple of pizzas. I was happy with them that time, and I was happy with them today for lunch. My stepmom and I went for lunch and we each got one of the lunch deals — two slices and a salad. The menu stated $ 7.64, I believe. By adding a regular size soda mine came to ten dollars and some change. Definitely more than I typically pay for any lunch meal for myself, but the salad was huge, and the two pieces of pizza were large so I guess it was a good deal. I ended up having a whole slice left over. I got both slices with burger. I like their pizza. It isn’t anything amazing, but I really like it. Their salad, as I mentioned, was huge. Lots of greens, a couple of slices of tomato, and a good amount of red onion. (Could definitely have had more tomato, if I’m being honest.) I like their creamy cilantro dressing.
It’s a relaxing atmosphere, lots of booths, and the employees are nice. We’ll be back.

So I’m told this is the place to go for classic New York style pizza in my near-​Round Rock area. Well. Okay. I’ve never been to NY, or remotely close really, so all I have to go on is what people tell me.
And now you can go on what I’ve got to tell you.
I was the first body in the door on a Saturday morning, right as they opened up. Fairly standard pizza/​sports bar sort of place. Décor wasn’t outstanding, but neither was it bad. Reminded me of the Pizza Ranch back home in Iowa, a bit.
Walk up to the counter to place your order. That’s how I like it at these joints, so that was great. I ordered a simple calzone — pepperoni and olives, and a large pizza to go. I always judge a new-​to-​me pizza place on my classic trinity — pepperoni, black olives, and mushrooms. And I also judge how well their pizza holds up cold. Because… cold pizza.
They guys working here were super friendly and talkative. No complaints what-​so-​ever. The place itself was very clean, so also no problems with that. I watched a bit of football while waiting for my food.
Now, for the food. I’ll start with the good — the pizza was a really good mix of chewy and crisp crust through-​out. Toppings were a little heavy in the center, and too spare near the edge, like someone miss-​dropped the handfuls of olives. Fortunately I like large mouthfuls of food. I did have a couple slices while still warm, and it was actually quite good overall. The sauce didn’t leap out at me, but again, it wasn’t bad by any stretch. Pizza gets a ⁴⁄₅ from me.
Now, the calzone? Not quite so great. It LOOKED beautiful, and the very outer crust was just as crispy as I could have wanted. However, the inside of the calzone was still cold. Not just cool — but cold. We’re talking the shredded cheese was still in individual shreds cold. And this left it’s effect on the thicker parts of the crust as well — they were still doughy. I may like my crust a bit doughy, but this was raw, sticky dough. What was cooked was great — but the cold/​raw parts knocked it down to ²⁄₅.
Staff gets ⁵⁄₅. Building, 3.5÷5. Pizza, 4/​5, and the Calzone, ²⁄₅.
I will give them another chance, perhaps when the ovens aren’t first being used for the day. I’m normally not awake during the day so we’ll see if their late night, just-​before-​close quality is up there.

We’ve been following Unilocal reviews on this place for a while, inhaled a small meatlover’s special pizza with authentic New York style crust, and a couple drinks, diet Dr. Pepper and diet Coke… next visit we’ll have to try the house special pizza… this is the good stuff according to my Unilocal buddies, my wife and I… concur (always wanted to say that). Can’t wait to go back! I tried to eat this the correct N.Y. way so I folded my slices… Right? They have wifi… posted pictures because I can’t help myself. Posted a video with pictures of the restaurant and pizzas on youtube, type in craig o’s pizza… and check it out… they’re be a test later, keep a pile of napkins by whatever you’re viewing it on unless it’s drool-proof…we went back today and shared a thin wheat crust large house special with lots of goodies on it… by the time the powdered parmesan and red pepper seed dust settled… most of the pizza was gone
…it was in my belly, glad my wife got a few slices.

Their calzone keep us coming back!
We are liking the recent changes :)

Based on favorable reviews I read here in Unilocal,I went to the Craig-​Os on Louis Henna and got a calzone with pepperoni and Italian sausage.
Horrible! The sausage was pulverized finer than ground beef and did not taste at all like I would expect Italian sausage. Now, I sit and write this experiencing indigestion and worse for the first time in ages.
Overall, the calzone shell was flat and lacked taste having little or no sauce inside; it dripped excessively of oil; the cheeze was pile up on one side and not evenly distributed. I had to add the sauce from a small cup of rather thin tomato sauce.
I also had a side salad with blue cheese dressing. That was pretty sorry, too. The dressing had a slight blue cheese aroma and flavor, but was mostly some awful ranch-​based stuff from a can.
If I could give this place zero-​star rating, I would. I’ve have better frozen pizza rolls from a $ 1.98 box… Really.

Used a Unilocal offer, which was a nice promotion to go there. It’s no LampPost pizza (the business that used to occupy the space where Craig O’s is located), but it will serve all your local pizzeria needs.
The calzones are a little pricey upon first viewing, but its well worth the price — they are HUGE and quite delicious!!! Pizza is ok, nothing to write home about. I like their meatball sub, its got a bit of kick to it!

Some reviews are hard to write. Food wise, Craig O’s is great. I’m not a major meat eater, and I was obsessed with the italian sausage. Best I had ever had on a pizza, no joke! The gluten-​free crust was great, just overpriced like every other pizza place.
Here’s my problem — they close early when they aren’t busy! My boyfriend and I called an hour before close and they said «oh, we closed early because we hadn’t had any tickets for 2 hours.» I’m sorry, I just think it’s kind of unacceptable, especially when you have a Unilocal deal up too that I already purchased. I was also pretty appalled at the manager-on-duty’s attitude when I asked why they were closed already. He just acted like I was ridiculous for thinking they would be open for their listed hours. Eh.

Just an update — we have been eating here about once every 6 weeks. The food is consistently good.
The only thing I don’t really like is their house salad. I don’t know what it is — its lacking something in my book and that makes me sad and feel guilty because I like the lunch special of 2 slices of pizza and the salad but I don’t like the salad so I end up just getting the 2 slices of pizza sans salad and then feel like a fat unhealthy slob the rest of the day.
CRAIG O’s — please make a better salad so I can justify eating your delicious pizza more often!
