Ordered carry out and the food was great! We have ordered from there several times and it never disappoints. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Fresh, hot, and friendly staff! The new wing flavors are fantastic! Also, now they are offering catering, and it is delicious!!!

Bit of a wait but good was 10/10. Particularly the pizzas and mozzarella sticks. Kid friendly place as well.

Best pizza in the shoals area hands down. We can't decide which one is our favorite!!

Friendly family atmosphere. I love the Wings and cheesecake! There's nothing else you need!

Best BBQ sandwich in town! It came with good old fashioned mustard slaw! Wow it was tasty read more

I've eaten here several times in the past 6 months. Small pizzas, Subs, pie slices -- everything I've tried has always been decent & tasty, generally good. My problem though with Stephano's Southland is when I call in to make a take-out order. The woman on the phone always asks if I could hold, and the wait time for this process can be quite lengthy. Last time I just hung up and stopped for lunch elsewhere. My suggestion to ownership is if you are so busy, then hire an additional person to handle the phone calls and another to ring out diners. I eat on the road often, and this place is one of the worst I've experienced concerning take-out orders. read more

Stephano's is one of those really great locally owned pillars of the community that has been a long standing local favorite. But I'm not a local. I was in town to cut a record, and just got lucky that one day...Stefano's pizza was brought in for lunch. MIND BLOWN! I've had pizza all over (I travel a lot): NY, Chicago and even Italy. I can honestly say that Stefano's is in the top 3 best pizzas I've ever had! INCREDIBLE!! And the wings are THE BEST I've ever had. Is this a new school "foodie" place? No. Is this up scale environment? No. Fine dining? Nope. But none of that is what you want at the best local dive in a small town. Stefano's is everything your looking for in that one place in a small town where all the locals eat, because they all know the owner and the food is just always on point. Ignore the 1* reviews. This place is great. read more

Had the BBQ cheese fries. Was delish!! Service was great. Had a party of 6 + 2 children and were accommodated greatly.

My friend and I have tried to eat at your establishment multiple times only to find it closed. This is frustrating after coming from Florence especially given your sign that states "open daily 11 to 9" - and even on Yelp it says you're open tonight. We ending up giving our money to Red Clay Table (delicious) and I'm not sure we will try again. If you are consistently closing early you should own it, otherwise you're just wasting our time. read more

Stephano's Southland - Pepperoni pizza and the Fortenberry twins! - Sandwiches Near Me - Sheffield, Alabama

Place was great years ago but should be avoided until management changes. Front and back of house both look dirty, food was soggy and low quality, the bbq sauce that used to be homemade is now Heinz. read more

The pizza and Buffalo wings are amazing! Fresh ingredients - 1 piece of pizza is truly enough! read more

Good find in Sheffield. Had their mega supreme pizza which was LOADED with veggies and meat. We were shocked by how much was piled on and how heavy the pizza was. Honestly one slice was filling. Very tasty - the sausage on the pizza had a nice spice to it. Try out the desserts. We shared a slice of cheesecake and chocolate pie. Both were pretty good. Atmosphere is pretty casual. It was seat yourself. read more

Absolutely disgusting! The three lazy "waitresses" couldn't even bother to look up and greet customers as they came in the door. Seat yourself, if you can find a clean table without half eaten food and left over garbage. I should have turned and ran! After getting my own drink (ridiculous) The meatball hero I ordered arrived in a styrofoam container, it looked terrible, and tasted worse. Stale bread, cold balls (don't think it was meat!), coagulated cheese, and no sauce is how it arrived. I had the nerve to ask for more sauce to try and make it edible. After an unfriendly look it arrived in a styrofoam cup ice cold. Who does that, yea, let me add ice cold sauce to my cold meatball hero, that will make it taste better! I don't live local so I'll never be back, but if you locals frequent this place, I can't imagine what the other restaurants in town must be like! So bad I left no tip, first time I've done that since a teenager, and I'm 57 now! read more

This was another great surprise in this ever-changing town of Sheffield! We visited Stephano's during a recent trip to the Shoals area and discovered yet another great place to find a very good meal at a very good price. Stephano's Southland is difficult to describe. While it is certainly "Italian" in the sense of offering some nice traditional Italian style dishes, Stephano's offer more of an eclectic menu that includes a diverse range of foods. If I could describe it more accurately, I would say that Stephano's Southland provides "Italian fusion cuisine." It combines a selection of classic Italian dishes (e.g., lasagna, chicken Parmesan, pasta, pizzas and paninis, etc.) with good, old-fashioned American food with a nice twist of southern hospitality. In addition to some surprisingly good food, the atmosphere wasn't "stuffy" (something that is almost a norm in most Italian restaurants). You really feel at "home" here -- something that is typically felt in family style Italian restaurants. We had a large group that ordered everything from traditional and tasty Chicken Parmesan to a pizza sub to burgers and even "buffalo fries." Interestingly, there was some live music being played as we enjoyed our visit and food. *BONUS: If you visit, order a slice of cheesecake! It was amazing! read more

Called and was put on hold for 3 minutes and ask if serving fresh barbecue sandwich's today. She said yes so am going to going eat there for dinner .Am in the mood for fresh pork barbecue sandwich and steak fries. Am hungry. Also taking two friends with me to eat also. read more

Absolutely OUTSTANDING food! The Chicken Parmesan is my personal favorite, as well as the Lasagna! Don't forget the homemade cheesecake- trust me, it's UNREAL! read more

I like this place. Good food for modest price. Friendly staff. I have not had anything bad there yet. Be sure to try their hot rolls and put butter and salt on them. It tastes like a hot pretzel! read more

Stephano's Southland doe snot have great service. The waiters do not care about the customer's experience. My son has a serious dairy allergy and they refuse to leave the cheese off the pizza. read more

We are practically new to this area . Have eaten here 4 times and it's always good and the girls running things are so accommodating ! We can't wait to treat our sons to pizza when they come to visit next month ! read more

Moved to Sheffield three months ago so I've only been once but I wasn't disappointed! Great little place! Worth the drive from Florence for you folks across the river. Wonderful wings! read more

I have been eating at this restaurant for years now. The food is great but service tonight was lacking. After 20 minutes we finally got drinks and placed our order. After an hour the waitress came by and said she would check on our food. Never saw her again until we flagged her down to let her know that we were ready to bail as it was nearly 8:30 p.m. They were plating our food. Some of the food did come out in about 5 minutes, including the appetizer of onion rings we ordered over an hour earlier. However, my Philly sandwich took another 20 minutes to appear. I understand that everything may not come out together, but that big of a time gap between plates served at the same table is not good practice. Just very unorganized--my family was already finished eating! Several tables that came in after us had already eaten and left before we even got food! The waitress did give us a discount, which we did not ask for, but I will most likely never return to this establishment. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience. I have had several people tell me they had a similar experience. read more

I'm pretty picky, but I really like this place. From Sunday dinner to getting weekday wings, this is a great little spot. I contend that they have the best wings in town... And definitely the best rolls - hands-down. The only downside is that service can be a little slow, so bring friends and good conversation. read more

Stopped there for some wings. Waited 35 minutes to get them and they were tough. Not a good experience.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They messed up both mine and my husband's to go order. When I called them to ask them to make it right they stated there was nothing they could do. They didn't even attempt to find a solution just shut me down. Unless you want to waste your money and time i would avoid this restaurant. read more

We went to Stefanos southland in Sheffield today for lunch and 2 women sat down across from us in a booth and she ordered the hamburger. She didn't see the specials and when she did she asked politely if she could change her order. They said they already dropped it and couldn't change it. FIRST of all this is a restaurant it's customer service. Then she asked to speak to the manager and when she came out she said "the specials are written right there on the board it's not our fault you didn't see them" the customer then cancels her order and orders the special to go. They refused to make it. This is insane! Needless to say I will never eat here again! And to top it off I'm pretty sure it would be considered discrimination! read more

Great pizza, wings, and cheesecake. We've never eaten anything else on the menu but the pizza is the best by far we've ever had in the Shoals. We live in Atlanta but used to live in the area and still own property nearby that we visit regularly. When in the area, Stephano's is always a place we make sure to visit. I believe the rolls are the same made by the old Southland Restaurant that occupied this building for decades. read more

I go here for to go pizza for the fam. Not a fan of the salad. But I'm spoiled. We like our crust crispy, so we were told to order it well done. Pizza is all we get here. It's quick and better that the chains. We order these when we have a big party or family movie night. read more

It's simply the best...best wings, best pizza, best pasta, best homemade desserts, best homemade dressings... Now, you might have to wait a little longer for freshly made perfection. This is the place where all of my out of state and out of country friends and family want to eat! read more

They were slow 25 years go in Florence. The fresh pizza is good, don't order a slice. The owner needs to learn to smile and speak to his customers. He looks pissed off. read more

If you don't like this place then you need to get out! Best place for a bite in the world!!
