Papa Cristo's, a historic Greek restaurant and market in Los Angeles, is closing permanently after 77 years of operation. Owner Chrys Chrys announced the closure, citing rising rent as the primary reason. The restaurant, known for its spanakopita and gyros, began in 1948 when Chrys's father started C & K Importing Company. Over the years, it has become a cornerstone of the LA food scene, serving as a gathering place for the local Greek community. The closure marks the end of an era for many loyal customers.
After 77 unforgettable years on the corner of Pico and Normandie, it's time for me to hang up my apron and for us to say goodbye (for now).
The small business has been an essential part of Los Angeles’s restaurant scene, feeding generations of those looking for a taste of the Aegean region.
