Craig O’s Pizza & Pastaria

Heard Craig O’s pizza was da bomb. Ordered the 18″ House Special and enjoyed every bite. My wife fought me over the last slice, and she is pretty particular about her pizza. Bottom line,
Craig O’s won us over and they will be our go-​to pizza until the next best thing comes along, which may be a while.

Great place for pizza and friendly staff it’s good for lunch or dinner or if you tracking through I-​35

service at this location «dead on» fast friendly and always with a smile. Food great portion sizes even to share a bite, the salads are to die for and the dressing are the best in town full of flavor. Great prices on all they offer in house or delivery

Bland…
Creamy cilantro was great but spinach ziti tasted like unsalted pasta and tomato purée… usually this place is great. I hope its just a single bad day.

We go to CraigO’s up North most of the time. But, we found ourselves at this location while traveling. Don’t bother! Everything was overcooked (calzone), the spaghetti was hard, and the sodas from the machine were awful! Not to mention, the girl taking our order was rude, no customer service skills what-​so-​ever. Pass this location up & go to one of the Northern ones.

spinach dip is amazing!!!
always super fast delivery with great service. pizza is awesome & key lime pie is yummy

Good neighborhood type pizza joint. From my experience tonight, I think this place is better than 3 stars. Nice balance of ingredients and flavor with nothing overpowering.

One of my favorite Italian places in Austin! The trio plate and cilantro ranch salad are the best! Pizza is delish too!

Love love LOVE Craigo’s by Onion Creek! The staff is friendly and my order is always delivered in a timely manner. I’ve walked in before to pick up my order and will definitely eat there next time, I liked the atmosphere a lot.
I tend to order the same thing: the white Italian with artichoke hearts instead of chicken and a salad with their homemade creamy cilantro dressing. The dressing is amazing, I have a bottle in my fridge and refuse to share it with my mum when she visits. It is that good.
The tiramisu and cheesecake are great, and the menu has a lot of great options including pasta dishes.
I’ve ordered from this place numerous times and will continue to do so!

I would give this place no stars but you can’t. We had some lunch delivered and got the wrong sandwich. The Manager Jesse was completely rude and argued with my husband that it was his fault because the Craig O’s menu was not the same as the location’s menu. After a 16 minute phone call that was interrupted by several holds, he finally decided to credit our card back for the sandwich. The franchise should be embarrassed by this location!

Pizza tastes a little weird. The cheese and meat especially. I ordered chicken parm from here once and it was EXTREMELY bad. Oh well.

This place is perfect for delivery when you have unexpected family drop in. I can’t think on another Italian Delivery spot in my area. The Food, for the most part is consistent. I always order the Chicken Alfredo and a Rasta Salad.

We got a flyer for this place left on our doorknob at our apartment complex and thought we would try them out. Big mistake.
We decide to order pasta, a salad, and some cheesecake. Plus a 2 liter soda. Our order total was $ 53. Okay. No big deal. We ordered dinner size portions of the entrees. We kind of expected to be able to feast.
We were wrong. The guy arrives and hands us one bag of food plus the soda. We get our entrees out, they are tiny. Like maybe the lunch size (not worth $ 12.99!!) and the side of garlic bread the pasta comes with is a huge joke. It’s maybe a 2×2. It’s a flimsy, thin piece of garlic bread. I’m not even sure it should be considered that. It’s basically the bottom corner of a sub roll. With a little garlic butter… I got chicken parm and it was okay I guess. I mean it was frozen chicken strips with spaghetti and mozzarella (not even parm cheese…). My boyfriend got spaghetti and meatballs and couldn’t even finish it. The meatballs tasted like what we would imagine dog food tastes like. It was awful.
The salad. Also disappointing. A Greek salad that only had lettuce, black olives, and a sad amount of feta. It was not worth $ 8. The cheesecake was the only decent thing. And it is obviously frozen and store bought.
Save yourself the disappointment. This place isn’t cheap (but it should be for he quality food they offer) and the food is subpar. Just don’t do it.

5 stars for great customer service! The great folks at the Onion Creek location delivered to me on a dreary Monday night even though I am out of the normal zone. It is much appreciated that they were willing to deliver to me!!! And of course my Chicken Alfredo was delicious!

Craig O’s only survives due to the lack of competitors in the immediate area, and the fact that the quality of those restaurants is also very poor.
Craig O’s food is bad, period. I have yet to have anything there that exceed «mediocre.» Their «chicken Parmesan» consists of breaded chicken strips sitting on a bed of spaghetti with marinara sauce. Now, I may not be a food expert, but I was under the impression that it’s called «chicken Parmesan» because it contains Parmesan cheese. Not at Craig O’s.
If you want bad Italian food, Craig O’s is your spot.

We ordered a large salad and a large margarita pizza with 2 ice waters. It was $ 26.
Needless to say, the salad was just lettuce, I don’t even think we got half a Roma tomato… and it was 7.99!
The pizza was good, but expensive for the size.
I just felt it was pretty expensive for what we got. Probably will not be making it back here unless there is no other choice.

MEH.
They can do better with their pizza ingredients.
I ordered the Large Margherita pizza for delivery, it was $ 18 bucks.
The large looked like a medium, and the pizza wasn’t that tasty.
I would go somewhere else, unless they improve on their pizza for that price.

My husband and I were extremely disappointed in this location. We LOVE the location on 290/​Mopac (so much so, we had our wedding rehearsal dinner there) and since we moved to Buda, we figured we could give this location a shot!
My husband ordered two slices of pizza and added chicken and sausage I believe. When he received his food, the toppings were cold. Yes, COLD chicken on top of pizza. ick!
And one of my biggest pet peeves– the restrooms in restaurants! It smelled like a tub of bleach was dropped on the floor but the actual floor was gross & dirty. One stall was completely out of toilet paper and the other was nearly out. I can not handle a dirty restroom, especially in a food establishment. It doesn’t make me want to eat their food.
My calzone wasn’t bad but the overall experience was negative. They were extremely slow that day when we went in, but I expected the service to be better. Looks like we will be driving a bit further down to our usual 290/​Mopac location from now on.

I love the location near Mopac and Brodie, but this one seems to always be training new people and its rare they get my order right and I generally order plain pizzas! They are slow. If you have time to wait around until they get it right… it’s still Craigos and tastes good, but don’t go there in a hurry!

First off — let me say that this is potentially 4-​star pizza, but the rating has to be adjusted for the following reasons that, pizza aside, left a bad taste in my mouth:
1) The «large» pizza
Are you freaking kidding me? The audacity of calling THAT size of pizza a large! Or were you really joking? I doubt it, because there is nothing funny about it really.
I get a L pizza at Homeslice, and it is a legitimately large pizza. Compared to a legitimate L pizza, Craig O’s is an S. A small. A laughably small — «oh, isn’t that cute» — …except it’s not cute or funny at all because I’m trying to feed two hungry people — pizza.
This is a pizza for ants.
2) Relatedly, a pizza this small — yet called «large» — should come with a warning. I ordered by phone, first time customer — and did not receive a warning.
3) This takes the cake: this pizza, delivered — cost just over $ 20 with tax, not including tip, which I did pay out of habit, and the fact that it’s not the driver’s fault. But let’s get serious — I pay $ 16 for a huge, amazing, delicious Homeslice pie. It is twice the pizza, in terms of size, and twice again in terms of quality and flavor.
Now, we’re not quite comparing apples to apples, and I want to be fair here. (I also want an apology and my money back, but you can wish in one hand, and hold this pizza in the other, and you’ll get… you guessed it — NUTTIN!)
Anyway, to be fair, there was a $ 5 delivery charge included in my total. However, I’m also less than 5 minutes away from the place. I did not receive a warning on the delivery fee in advance either.
And as long as I’m being so incredibly fair, maybe they just screwed up and sent me a «small» pizza. A simple mistake would be far more forgivable than the lousy excuse for a pie I received. Of course, same result, either way.
But let’s rub a little salt in the wound by looking up the menu and finding there is an «extra-​large» pizza that costs only $ 2 more. If I’m in for $ 20 for a personal size pizza, I’m in for $ 22 for something that might actually feed people.
So, I may give Craig O’s another chance after I’m done stinging from this last experience. But I am not pleased. No, sir.
