We love this place. My husband ate at Contos often as a child with his father and siblings (though location did change). We began visiting with our family a few years back and have been blown away each time we have visited since. The food is excellent and the service is equally so. We haven't tried anything we didn't like thus far. We will continue to visit each time we are over that way - the 5 hour drive is well worth the delicious food. read more

What else can I say but: Best Pizza in the PNW OK, ok, a lot of hype but I'm a simple man, I don't need flashy, exuberant, or ostentatious. This is just a plain out delicious pizza, period. You can BYO or pick from one of several preconfigured concoctions. Their pasta is also delicious, we've had their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, lasagna, etc. we've never been disappointed. Service is also good, always with a smile and courteous. Cannot complain. Their desserts are ok, I make a better cheesecake at home. But again, go out and try it for yourself. Happy Eating, - Fj read more

The food is consistently excellent. Take out has substantial portions and in service dining never disappoints.

My wife and I ordered to go last night, Contos pizza is always so busy with either dinner in or to go orders that we usually get our food to go. We ended up up sharing a medium Supreme with a couple of desserts mine was a cheesecake with a raspberry syrup and my wife chose their tiramisu. When we got home the pizza was still very hot " right out of the oven" but not burn the roof of your mouth hot. They are very generous with the toppings and the cheese has a nice melt and blistering also the crust while thick it's crispy goodness. The dessert I had was delicious especially the raspberry syrup my wife is saving hers she got too full to enjoy it last night. If you decide to eat here expect a bit of a wait to be seated and your order might take awhile also depending on the night of the week but you won't be disappointed everything on them menu is top notch we've been dining here literally a couple of decades, now the kids have been running the business it's still one of the best pizza/ Italian restaurants around! read more

The service was the only upside to this restaurant unfortunately. The food was extremely disappointing! Cesar salad came drenched in black pepper and dressing that tasted rancid. My spinach salad came overflowing in a tiny bowl, I was unable to mix the dressing as my food kept falling out into the table. The chicken part of the chicken Parmesan was very good, however the sauce that coated the noodles tasted like straight heavy cream and Parmesan, too cheesy and thick. Def not worth a second visit read more

We love coming here for an affordable, hardy and good meal that will last us a couple of days of leftovers. Our son loves the kids spaghetti. Hubby always orders the Roman pasta. I tend to try something each time and enjoyed all of my meals. Tasty salad comes with the pasta dinner. They have lots of homemade dressing that we enjoy - creamy Caesar, feta and tomato balsamic. Recommend always eating there especially if order the pizza. Not as good when you have takeout. Service is nice and easy to order from. Clean restaurant with lots of tables. Enjoy!! read more

Get large, only a few $$$ more and very worth it This pizza is so loaded, you'll be eating off it for a week!!!

We have been going to Contos Pizza for many years and whether it's their pizza or their pasta or hot sandwiches they never disappoint. We absolutely love this place the atmosphere and the weight staff are all excellent. read more

Service was outstanding and the interior was inviting. Seating was comfortable. Unfortunately, the food was not what we were hoping for. I ordered the lasagna and my sweetheart went with the manicotti. Our pasta was al dente, which left us trying to saw through it. The meat sauce was lackluster--far too peppery and completely lacking in the subtle sweetness that accompanies good quality tomatoes. The dinner salads looked anemic, but the blue cheese dressing was good. The garlic bread was decent--converted sub buns. Honestly, Olive Garden is better. read more

Pizza was great and flavorful. Crust was on the thicker side with "pan pizza" style crisp crust. Good amount of topping and cheese with a good sauce. Pizza waster soggy or overly greasy. Reheats beautifully. Will have to return to try other dishes. Prices were on the higher end. read more

Came in at 4pm today. Only 2 of us. Traveled from 30 min away. While waiting in line to get a table. Heard the manager tell another patron that one employee who was supposed to start at 4p called and asked if they could come in at 430 and manager gave the okay. Lots of tables availablewe were told we had to wait till 430 .. a 30 min wait. Evidentlywhen the other employee came in.. . with tables available. They said they could seat us but they will not help us. Maybe the manager should have kept the restaurant staffed to keep people who Traveled far just to get our favorite sandwiches. We ended up at coconut Kenny's. They appreciated our business. But we really wanted contos read more

We've been coming to Contos for over 15 years and it never disappoints! I feel like the it's been the same great quality as it's been since I first went. We love the get the Contos' Own Special pizza with dinner side salads. Their homemade ranch is absolutely delicious. I've tried many pasta dishes and lots of different appetizers and can genuinely say everything we've had was great. Everyone that works there is so nice and we've never felt rushed to leave. They get pretty busy so expect a bit of a wait if you go during peak dinner hours. Also try the Spumoni! read more

I'm always blown away by how great the pizza is! The service and food is always on point.

Eggplant parm was DELISH and very large portions! Ordered take out, the hostess was very friendly and everything was ready when I arrived! I will be back! read more

Contos is an amazing choice for delicious mouth watering food choices. The pizza is so good I could not decide between two delectable pies so I GOT BOTH! This place does to disappoint, period. Now for the real treat, I knew the food was great but I called to order and Aylin managed me through my decision making process. She was so incredibly delightful and steered me like a sail boat back into the wind. Then..... I showed up and she was working the desk, cashed me out, set me loose in their great cake/dessert selection and sent me away with a very large smile. Don't make a foolish mistake and skip this place and ask for Aylin. She is worth a five star review herself. Contos management, you have a wonderful employee!!!!! read more

Deep dish pizza if you like that. We had lasagne and fettuccini instead. Good flavor. Served hot! A little pricey!

I have tried many non-pizza foods here. Love all of them. The value is great. A large portion for the price paid. Order by phone and pick up. Food is always ready when I arrive. read more

We just discovered this place although I think it's been here for a very long time. The food and service are outstanding. So far, we've placed two to-go orders. We really like the tortellini with alfredo, supreme pizza, garlic bread, and tiramisu. We could tell it's a super popular place as the first time we visited on a Friday night the line wrapped all around the front door outside. The portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and leftovers last several nights so you get a good value for your dollar. The employees are attentive, friendly, and welcoming. This is our new favorite spot after we shop at Lake Stevens Costco! read more

Always good, they have the best ranch and I love their cheesy bread. Salad is delicious and fresh. I would recommend not over ordering. The dishes are big. I wish I would have shared mine every time. Recently had a chicken carbonara that was fantastic. read more

From the pita bread and fried zucchini appetizers, to their main entrees like chicken gyros with (delicious & drinkable lol) tzatziki sauce, chicken Rosso pasta, Chicken Parmesan, Salmon Fettucini and of course dessert- literally anything they have, but especially chocolate lava cakes - oh man! Guilty pleasure all the way. Love everything here! Their service is always good too! The ambiance is a homey Italian place. Totally a hidden local gem :) One small critique I have is that I wish they had an online ordering option or delivery. read more

Great service even when they're slammed. I've been looking for that quality deep dish pizza I recall from Northlake Tavern or even Godfathers. I tried the new place called Coconut (something) and was super disappointed with the mountain of dough and skimpy toppings. That's not a problem at Contos. Nice work ! read more

YUMMMYYYY. The food is so good! Make reservations! It definitely is super busy, but even the wait is worth it! Also love love love all the plants growing and hanging all over the restaurant read more

We have dined at Contos for years!! The food has always been top notch, including their gluten free options. Unfortunately, they must have changed their gluten free crust. It was absolutely horrible! A saltine cracker has more depth and flavor! I couldn't eat it. It used to be a real treat. Sadly, I won't return for the pizza. I'll stick with a pasta dish. What a let down! read more

Pasta and pizza were so delicious. The server we had was very good and checking in often to see if we needed anything. Can't wait to go back! read more

Love it!! We come here every year when we are in town. Great food and great service every time! read more

Contos is a little expensive, but it's very good and well worth the price. It's probably the best fettuccini alfredo I've ever had! The pizza was very cheesy and good too. read more

This is the best restaurant I've ever been to - And I've travelled all over the world. I literally fly from out of state and drive from Seattle to Lake Steven's to specifically go to Conto's. It is the best Italian food I've ever had in my life (including my two trips to Italy). The salad, the pasta, the bread, any appetizer you order, it's all amazing. The Italian Sodas? Massive and incredible. The portion sizes for all the food is insane and will feed you for two more days. I have brought people from all over the state and out of state to this restaurant. Out of the two decades of going here, it's never once disappointed me and stayed consistently incredible. 100000/10. read more

First time here. It was pretty busy and the service was great. Our waitress always had a smile on her face and was working hard. As for the food, I'll start by saying- Italian food is not my favorite type of cuisine. However, tonight we were in the mood for Italian. I got a Caesar salad upgrade, which I thought was totally worthwhile. It was a large portion size and the Caesar was delicious. I also ordered the eggplant Parmesan with a side of Italian sausage. I'm not sure if I was given Italian sausage or the meatballs. Either way, no complaints as it was pretty good. My biggest piece of feedback is about the eggplant parm. I have to say that it was not what I was expecting. Usually in this dish, the eggplant is star of the show. The dish is created around the eggplant. However, this dish felt like the spaghetti was the star of the show. The description stated that the eggplant was over the spaghetti noodles. I had assumed this meant a smaller portion, and the rest of the dish would be quite the same. It really just felt like spaghetti and instead of meatballs, eggplant was swapped out. I'm unsure if the eggplant was actually breaded, there was no crispiness to it and it appeared to be soaked into the meat sauce. Overall, the portions were big and service was good! read more

It's been a good 15 years since I have been to Contos in Lake Stevens. My husband and I finally gave into the memory of greasy food that upsets your stomach. We didn't regret it. We started with the baked feta and rustic bread. It was good but a bit to salty. The feta and Kalamata olives that were used, were to salty together. We then shared a dinner salad with ranch. I love a good restaurant ranch. It is the only time I will eat it. Salad was great all around. For dinner, we shared the chicken Parmesan. The chicken was good. Salty but good. Noodles and sauce all had great flavor and not as greasy as we had remembered. Dinner comes with garlic bread, it is good, nothing to write home about, we passed. On the way in we noticed the dessert fridge. All dessert is cut and put in to go containers. So.. we got the Bischoff cheesecake to go, it isn't on the menu. It was amazing. We snacked on it later in the evening as room was made. I was concerned it wouldn't taste fresh being packaged who knows when. It was. It was grand. Next time I will order the dinner salad and dessert We would return and recommend it with the thoughts, you should share everything, go on an empty stomach and take dessert home with you. Service was great. They were all helpful and friendly. Wait time was well paced and the restaurant was packed. read more

I think BritBrit said it best with, "Gimme Gimme MORE, GIMME MORE," Conto's Pizza & Pasta ( @contospizza ). They have been a Lake Stevens, WA staple, ever since I can remember. Their food is either made from scratch or sourced as locally as possible. Sauces! Pizzas! Pastas! All to die for!!! I highly recommend their Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo + a side of Meat Sauce! The full entree serves me 4 meals! Yasss! Exactly! Everything is seriously amazing, but never evahhh leave without getting some desserts too! I'm obsessed with their rotating cheesecake selection! I occasionally just pop in to get some of the best desserts, in town! These are only a few of the reasons why I go there, every week, in addition to their loving and wonderful staff, who fill the place with so much love and goodness! #LakeStevens IG : @PassportToGoodEats read more

Amazing and competent service, don't even get me started on the amazing food! This restaurant was the talk of the week. They are higher in price but well deserving of higher quality food. You can tell the owners and workers put there hard work into the place and help the abundant revolving doors of customers. They look and feel of the place is upscale but also homie. They are very busy but it is very evident as to why! Amazing food, personable and fancy restaurant, highly recommend ! read more

The most God awful bread and salad! The salad and bread that is served with the lasagna goes in the trash almost always.

Always fresh food and very generous portions! Conto's is an authentic family owned restaurant that always offers great service.

Affordable pizza joint Love their cheesy pasta. The portions are generous. One of the best restaurants in Lake Stevens. read more

We'll I can't stop reviewing Contos tonight was manly cause of the desert Pumpkin cheesecake when I saw that on the menu it was a no brainer got have it. So after stuffing myself on a small pepperoni sausage and mushroom pizza, I was able to finish 8 out of 10 slices pretty good score but I was hungry lol, after sitting and allowing for some digestion it was time to try the pumpkin cheesecake. You can see from the picture it has a glaze and some walnuts that are nice accent to the cheesecake. You can taste a nice subtle pumpkin flavor in the cheesecake when all are combined you have a nice Halloween inspired dessert get it while you can it's awesome. Everything thing we got tonight was delicious as usual Contos is rock solid.!!! read more

Best Italian food I've ever had! And we got takeout which says a lot, because sometimes taking food home just isn't the same, things get soggy/cold/etc. but this was perfect. Their Caesar dressing is soooo good. I had the blush penne, my husband had the chicken russo. The pasta was perfectly al dente and everything was just very delicious! I wish we lived closer but we have friends in Marysville who introduced us to this place, we will definitely eat there again. read more
