Crico’s Pizza & Subs

Adults born in the 1970’s…here me out…
Remember when we were kids and we got to eat pizza as a treat like once, maybe twice a month, if your parents were divorced, and there was just the one Pizza Hut in town, and you either ate there (which was awesome b/​c they had a jukebox and pitchers of soda) or your dad went to go pick it up. And it was like the best! The cheese was kind of browned and crispy on top, but gooey underneath? And you ate supreme and loved it because that’s what your parents ordered and you didn’t care because… pizza? Ok maybe that last part was just at my house… but that is how I felt when I took my first bite of the medium supreme pizza that I just had delivered to my condo. Perhaps I’m romanticizing b/​c I was so stinking hungry and stuck in here on a working holiday while my husband and stepson are at a baseball tournament. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to dig into this again after it’s cold!
It was a liiiiitle more expensive than I would have guessed ($ 27 for medium supreme and antipasta salad) and they didn’t have green olives. But much better than any chain delivery place out here.

Crico’s proves the old aphorism that hole in the wall joints are usually the best. The pizza was delicious, as were the Crico sticks with pepperoni. This was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last.

Crust was amazing. Pizza was great overall. Everywhere else in town for pizza had a ridiculously long wait, but this place got the pizza out quickly. I would definitely go back again, and the service was good.

The pepperoni cheese sticks are amazing! Favorite Pizza place here in Gulf shores, coming from a local.

We loved our pizzas! Called in for pickup and it was ready within 15 – 20 minutes. We got a Hawaiian pizza and a pepperoni and both were awesome. Cheese is plentiful and the crust was delish!!!

Excellent pizza! Did the Cisco favorite. Also had cheese sticks and garlic bread. Was fabulous and delivery was fast. Highly recommend.

First time eating here and the pizza was great. Employees were very nice and helpful even though we came in just before they closed they didn’t hesitate to help us. Definitely worth the visit and I would go again.

My family and I ordered pizza, Salad and garlic cheese bread everything was so delicious and hot. We got it delivered to the condo. Salads were so fresh. Love there pizza sauce

Fast delivery & tasty pizza! The Supreme Pizza is what we ordered & it was soooo GOOOOD! If you’re in town visiting & don’t wan to leave your condo or hotel they’ll deliver right to your door.

Good and fast pizza. We ordered and picked up and it only took 15 minutes.
The Crico sticks are like little pizzas and were very good. The pizza had lots of cheese and good flavor.

Pretty good pizza, good location close to the beach. Prices are great, but the cleanliness of the place over all could be improved. It’s definitely a dive but could still be spruced up by a good clean. Pizza was hot and fresh, a little too greasy for my taste but hey it is pizza not salad. No beer, which is kind of a bummer but excusable. Place was packed with spring breakers at lunch time nomming down on the buffet– we opted for large pepperoni pizza.

really Carrie D. It is people like you that really irritate me. You are ridiculous. I would love to see how you do cooking for a living. Your reviews are worthless. Too bad Unilocal lets you review. not even from here. from Michigan. food is great. what makes you so special? And why call the next day if there was a problem instead of addressing the issue immediately. Dumbass.

I absolutely love this little place! Whether I stop in for the affordable lunch buffet, or pickup a to go order, it is always delicious! Best pizza in lower Alabama hands down. The crico sticks are heavenly, I could eat a whole pan.

Where else can you get a delicious lunch for under $ 10. There are several items under $ 5. I usually grab a toasted sub but the lunch buffet looks fabulous. My favorite sub is the BLT. The staff is friendly and helpful. Located close to the beach and does have outdoor patio seating. Nothing fancy. Just food food.

Its good quality pizza and will fulfill that pizza craving, and does so pretty easily. This place has a surprising great taste for the pies and the cheese sticks are so delicious. I will be ordering here again next time I’m in town.

We ordered a large supreme and a ten inch cookie after arriving out our condo late at night after a twelve hour drive. The pie was great, way better than dominoes and the cookie was more homemade than we expected and very, very good.

Ordered and they delivered in less than hour at dinner time. Pizza was hot and very good. Will order again for sure.

Not the greatest pizza (I’m from Chicago), but for a pizza buffet at only 6 bucks with a drink? Yeah, really good. There’s a variety of pizza’s at the counter with a couple different breadsticks and dessert pizzas, and a simple salad bar. It’s a small place but big enough for families with some added outdoor seating.
A great spot for a quick pizza lunch in the middle of town while you’re out souvenir shopping or mini-​golfing. Would eat there again!

Late night reminiscing of last year’s trip to Gulf Shores and the upcoming one in May brought me to Crico’s page!
I have sworn by this little place for years! As you may know from my page I’m pizza obsessed, I even have a bucket list of pizza restaurants and ones I’ve been too. Crico’s has got to be one of my favorite pizza buffets I’ve been to thus far in life. And although I know there will be others in my future of travel (hopefully), it takes the gold for now.
The pizza is not too greasy like you’ll find in some of the little hole in the wall pizza buffets. Good sauce, not too sweet or savory. They don’t create any super strange combinations, which I’m normally drawn to, so I just try a little of all the classics (pepperoni, cheese, not a big fan of the sausage). They also have pasta and breadsticks.
The inside of the restaurant is small-​ish, and can get pretty busy. If I’m remembering correctly, they have outside seating under an awning. Fairly cheap as well so it would probably be a good bet for a family, big group and kids.
No matter if I’m with friends or family, I have made it a personal tradition to stop here on the last day of vacation after checking out of the condo. It’s definitely a cheap local spot that I look forward to after days of filling up on seafood.
For any of you that become fans like I am, they sell t-​shirts. Going to try to get one this year because they’ve been out of a couple sizes this past summer.
They’re doing things old fashioned here, just down right good on a budget!
5 stars in the rankings of pizza buffets :-)

Do you need a dose of good old fashion cheese, fat, and meats? Crico’s does it right. I was really pleasantly satisfied with our order of a small Crico’s special pizza and a 12-​inch meatball sub. Everything just hit the spot.
The best part about Crico’s is that everything was very flavorful (in a heart attack way) and they did not skimp on the meat or cheese. The pizza was thick, almost an inch thick, with a thin crust that held up, the middle layer was composed of the meats, and the top layer was thick perfectly melted cheese. The meatballs of the sub were cooked through and tasted deliciously of parmesan. The bread for the subway was solid and not falling apart, toasted, and had that good layer of butter brushed on it.
I must admit that I had no expectations coming to Crico’s, and I’m glad that I didn’t. It made everything so much better. They also have delivery. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that you get, and I would order this for delivery any day over the regular chain pizza restaurants.
