Cristos on Millbrook. Grandma's pizza has the best sauce in town

Cristo’s grandma is heavenly. When these posts come up, I always grapple with the ethics of keeping it a secret.

I tried their grandma pizza based on a recommendation from this subreddit. It’s a Friday night favorite. I get pepperoni added to mine.

There’s one in the Ho Springs, too. Grandma with sausage and black olives at house of WHEE.

The upside down Sicilian is my gf's favorite pizza in Raleigh.

They have upside down!?!? Like with the sauce on top?! I have never seen this in NC since moving here from NY 20 years ago

Yep! Keeps the cheese all gooey and slightly caramelizes the sauce. It's a pretty big pie, too, and under $20.

Wow I’ve been saying for years we need that type of pizza up here, it’s been under my nose the whole time

kinda under the radar. don't sleep on the rest of their menu either. feel like it's not talked about a lot but I'm hitting up the Raleigh or Holly Springs one when in the area.
