Lunch can be either a quick or special occasion for Chico State students. It can be one that only lasts five minutes as they rush to get to their next class or last an hour as they meet with old friends to see what going’s on in their lives.
Celestino’s has options for both lunchtime occasions and is an old-time Chico State student favorite.
The pizzeria has two locations in Chico: at 101 Salem St. and 1354 East Ave. By having two locations, Chico State students can enjoy Celestino’s pizza, pasta, salads and calzones when they’re on campus or if they’re out buying groceries in the East Avenue Safeway. The convenience is definitely a plus for students, especially with their busy schedules.
While at Celestino’s, you have the option of choosing something if you want a quick lunch or a longer, slower lunch. Celestino’s has pizza slices in several varieties, including traditional cheese, the pesto and tomato Godfather or the meat marvel Tom Jones. You can pick a cheese or pepperoni slice and pair it with a soda as part of the lunchtime special when you need to get back to class or have so many errands to run, one list wouldn’t fit everything you need to do. However, you can also choose a full-size pizza, pasta dish, salad, or calzone combo when you have plenty of time on your schedule and would like to relax while eating your lunch or dinner.
Whether you’re having a crazy, event-filled day or a slow-paced, quiet day, Celestino’s has options for your next meal.

Hi Rebecca. I wanted to invite you to come check out my new Resale Shop called “COCOON”. It is in a historic house on Park Ave. and the building has been nominated for this year’s Heritage awards. I really need to get the word out to all the studenets in Chico. It is a Resale Boutique where you can trade in your clothing and other second hand goods. I also feature Local Artists and will be donating 10% of my profits to local non-profits. I hope to hear from you soon. See me on Facebook at “Cocoon- A Resale Boutique” and call 343-5440. Thank you – Summer O’Neill
