Conto's Pizza & Pasta

Good pizza, mediocre everything else...

Excellent pizza, way above average. Typical Washington combination greek/italian restaurant. BBQ ribs and chicken were overcooked, sauce just a sugary mess. Spaghetti is just OK, sauce tasted burnt. Baked canneloni and stuffed shells were pretty good.

Pizza was yummy, though. Lots of cheese and an excellent crust.

• Pros: great pizza
• Cons: Anything not pizza

Best pizza & pasta around!

You can't get any better than a Conto's Supreme Pizza. It has everything including my fave, Feta Cheese. 1/2" plus thick and to die for. There pasta is just to die for. Everything is homemade including the house-dressing - Feta cheese again - Yummy! Besides the great pizza, the seafood and/or chicken fettucini is the best. The servings are very generous, we always get to take some home for lunch the next day.

• Pros: Great for couples or kids, they have a full-bar now, pizza
• Cons: They are sooo popular with us locals, sometimes it's hard to get a seat

Conto's Rocks

My wife and I love Contos and eat there regularly. It is always crowded for a reason. The food and service are excellent. Attention to detail is evident in EVERYTHING they do. Take your routine chicken Cesar salad for example; at Contos the lettuce is chilled and the dressing is perfect. The croutons are flavorful and never soggy while the chicken is savory. I am a very pick about my food. Each and every time I visit Contos I am pleasantly surprised at the level of service and quality of food. Once you try their famous Pesto pizza you too will be spoiled on any other, not to mention the fantastic gyros and pasta dishes. Truly, the hardest part is deciding what to get. A comfortable family atmosphere and very reasonable prices make for a dining experience thats tough to beat anywhere.

• Pros: Pizza, Gyros, Manicotti
• Cons: None yet!
