Stefano's Pizza & Subs

I’ve been eating here for 20 years but not anymore. Since ownership change service and quality have diminished severely. Called for a pickup and it didn’t start out very well. *background noise and no introduction from employee* Me: “…Hello?” Stefanos “Hello” Me: “….is this Stefanos..?” Stefanos: “Yes” Then proceeded fairly normally. 15 minute pickup time for a pizza and sandwich which is great, especially on a Friday evening. I get there and they gave my sandwich away but instead of telling me it was whispered about then one gentleman said “sorry again about that, it’s coming right out” …sorry about what? Nobody told ME what was going on in the first place. A couple of employees were cordial but most of them are not. Now onto the food; I get home, excited to finally eat. The quality and quantity has dwindled significantly. Pizza dough has almost no flavor and was not proofed enough. It was heavy, dense, and hard to bite through. The sauce was scarce, topped with far too much cheese, and overall not cooked enough. The color was very light. The amount of toppings were subpar but CLOSE enough to a normal amount. The sandwich was skimpy in every aspect. Very minimal lettuce, a few pickles (far from the extra pickles that was asked for) and the tuna was just enough to say there was tuna in there. I’ve gone there quite a few times since the ownership change and this most recent experience will definitely be my last, unfortunately. Overall I’ve grown very displeased with the service and quality in recent months.

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I had garlic bread with cheese and a pepperoni pizza. The garlic bread was nicely done, crispy toasted on the outside, soft, chewy and flavorful bread portion. The pizza was also quite good. My personal preference would have been for a crisper bottom but it was still nice and chewy upper. The sauce was very nice also. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.4.

Reviews should reset when a business changes hands/sells. This is NOT the Stefano’s we grew up on and is absolutely disgusting now. Any positive review you see is from when it was under the old owners.
