The Slice Mob invades Christos
July 25, 2025
Today, the Slice Mob rolled deep and took over the dining room at Christos. We came hungry. We came ready. And we ordered so many pizzas, we needed a separate table just for the overflow. That’s when you know things are about to get serious.
This place is 1/3 of the legendary “Three Kings of Pizza,” and it shows. The service? Top notch. Friendly, fast, and totally cool with us turning the place into our own personal pizza summit.
Right when you walk in, you’re hit with the heavenly scent of that wood-fired oven. Then you spot the sign that reads, “It’s not burnt, it’s well done”, an instant CT pizza flex. We say it so often it’s practically in our DNA. That char? That beautiful, blistered, smoky kiss on the crust? That’s not a flaw, it’s flavor, baby.
Now let’s talk pies:
I went in on the Flamin’ Hot Oil, a New Haven-style thin crust beauty with the perfect char. The sauce was light and bright with a pure tomato pop, letting the ingredients shine. The cheese was melty and smooth, acting like a fire extinguisher for the spicy cup-and-char pepperoni and that glorious drizzle of chili oil. It was like a pizza symphony: hot, sweet, savory, and smoky all playing in perfect harmony.
Next up, I tackled the plain Detroit, a thick, rectangular slice of heaven with a soft crumb and that classic caramelized cheese crown around the edge. Crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside. That same sauce sang here too, bright, balanced, and begging for another bite.
It’s crystal clear why Christos is a local favorite, and now a Slice Mob favorite too.
New tradition alert!
Starting with this meetup, the Slice Mob is doing more than just crushing pies, we’re giving back. After each meetup, we’re collecting donations to support Slice Out Hunger, an incredible nonprofit that uses pizza to fight food insecurity. Every dollar raised helps fund local hunger relief programs across the country. Eat good. Do good. That’s how we roll.
