Greek Salads and Pizza at Christo's, Brockton

Growing up, I used to go to Christo's in Brockton every now and then, but had only started going back to this Greek restaurant about five or six years ago. Since then, I have tried it several times, with mixed results. But two items that have never wavered at Christo's are their Greek salad and their pizza, both of which I ordered over the past weekend.

A few of us made the trip down to Christo's as a last-minute decision, getting there early, knowing that the place fills up pretty quickly on weekend nights. Even though we arrived before 6:00, we had to wait about 10 minutes before getting a table in the lounge area, which was a first for me, as I have sat in each of their other rooms a number of times, but never by the bar. Our waitress was quick, friendly, and efficient, bringing us our appetizers and entrees in a timely manner, and we chatted with her about everything under the sun each time she came over.

The Greek salads were nothing short of spectacular, with loads of shredded feta cheese on top and their delicious dressing mixed in just right. In my mind, it is easily the best Greek salad I have had anywhere. As far as the pizzas, well, it is tough to categorize them (are they Greek pizzas? Bar pies? Someplace in between?), but they were excellent as usual. The hamburg pizza was loaded with well-done pieces of meat, while the pepperoni pizza had a delectable mix of tangy cheese and grease from the pepperoni forming a truly tasty treat.

I have heard from some people that Christo's has gone downhill a bit over the past few years, but if the Greek salad and pizza are any indication, I'm inclined to disagree. Personally, I wonder why I don't go to Christo's more often than I do; maybe that will have to change over the coming months.

For those who want the address and phone number for Christo's, here it is: Christo's, 782 Crescent Street, Brockton, MA 02302. Phone: (508) 588-4200.
