Popped in on a random early evening during Spring Break and practically had the place to myself which was heavenly. It's usually the hopping place to be and I'm well past hopping age. Ordered up a chicken + pineapple BBQ sauce personal pizza. At the last minute, and ONLY because the kitchen wasn't slammed, I also asked for sautéed mushrooms instead of raw. OMG heaven on a bumpy tray (well-designed to keep the crust from getting soggy). I devoured that pie and finally remembered to take a photo of the last piece before finishing it off. Super friendly staff, fun vibe. Lots of front porch outside seating, large main room with booths and tables, and a back room with still more booths and tables and an entrance to/from the rear parking area. No wonder all my Davis pals suggested it grab a pie here. Yum! read more

We were visiting my nephew at UC Davis and decided on pizza for dinner. I was told Steve's was the place to go. Steve's did not disappoint. The location is great, right next to UC. It's a cool old building and pretty big too. Inside and outside tables. Cool booths inside. This is obviously a great place for groups. There was a large group event in the back area and the front patio was reserved for a birthday party. It was busy but not crazy. The guy at the counter was super cool and the pizza was delicious. The prices were reasonable. Definitely the pizza place to bring the folks to, when they are in town. read more

A classic Davis pizza spot. I've lived in or near Davis for the last 20 years and this place is extremely consistent. The happy hour is one of the best in town. Great value and tasty food. read more

Friendly, small and local. The pizza is old school and I think it's the best in Davis. Service is prompt and if it's busy they let you know and work hard to get you your food. Beer selection is pretty big as well read more

The inside was very well furnished and the staff were very kind and accommodating. I went as a big party as a panel was being held in the restaurant. The Steve Pizza - 7/10 Very nicely crispy bottom with a pillowy dough. Nice amount of sauce to cheese ratio. I feel like the toppings are fresh and nicely spread. read more

We stood in line at Woodstocks to be told the kitchen was closed?? (8:30) Walked over to Steve's & what a find. Pizza was better, cheese sticks better and service better than Michelins!! 'Steve' (not his name) let me taste 4 beers ("don't buy a bad pint" he said) and this along w so many small points won me over. Besides asking only if all ok, servers stood and interacted with questions, comments etc. They didn't interfere w our group just alowed us to include them w our fun. This is not ur fast food experience but a dinning fun evening. Will definitely return as we pass thru Davis again. read more

I usually get my pizza at another place in town but I always see Steve's so I stopped by. It was 20 minutes before and I should have ordered vs lunch buffet. Salad bar-meh mushed kidney beans and meh lettuce options. This was my sign. Pizza bar- ughhh dried out with no flavor. They never came out to replenish the pizza. I hate 1 slice and half of another. Sorry it's back to Woodstocks read more

HAVE AGAIN: The small salad was just right but there were no beets! Otherwise, I was very happy with the salad and items, although the lettuce did not seem quite as fresh as usual. Love that blue cheese dressing! read more

I ordered a few hours ago and my order was not up to Steve's Place standards. I sent a message through the website to the restaurant, it was received and the restaurant called me and delivered a completely new and excellent order. Thank you so much and that's why I've eaten their food over 20 years. read more

Another update! Of course I needed to validate that my five star review last time was indeed still current. Research, right? And of course it is. The pizza is divine. Our favorite is still The Steve. The new owners have really settled in over the last couple of years and the service is still amazing. Even though the pandemic is over, we are still digging the upgraded patio. Such a nice and relaxing place. Always clean! Another thing that makes this place special is the large circular table in the dining room. It's huge--and so good for actually being able to talk to the people you're hanging out with. So much better than trying to squeeze into several booths. (notice how I didn't call it a round table?) The pizza is always delicious and the crust is perfection! I'm not a salad bar gal, but I recently had one and it was pretty good! If you're looking for a great pizza in Davis, Steve's is one of my absolute faves! read more

I've been to Steve's Pizza in person once before, and can say I had a nice experience (okay food but everything was up to par). However, my rating is exclusively based on how poor of a job Steve's Pizza does when it comes to delivery. I had an order on DoorDash today I placed at 10:52 that was SCHEDULED for a delivery between 11:40 to 12pm. I just order the large salad bar salad and 10 wings...Tell me why I receive notice at 11:45pm that my order wouldn't come until 27 minutes AFTER the scheduled time. Mind you, they didn't even take the time to cancel it themselves once they knew an order with TWO items would take an hour and a half. I had to reach out to DoorDash to make sure that cancelling my order wouldn't prevent me from being refunded (since Steve's was still "preparing" it). Needlessly to say, I'm turned off enough to make this my last "order" with this restaurant. I'd advise everyone to stick to in-person dining EXCLUSIVELY if you don't want to go hungry. read more

We grabbed our pizzas to go! I love the location of this place but parking can be a bear! We asked for ranch and we're only given two... ordering $100 worth of pizza plus tip and you only get two 2oz containers of ranch? Additional is .75cents? That was definitely a let down! We ordered breadsticks that came with 2 small containers, however we are sharing all this among a large group of people which made it super frustrating. We ordered the Steve's pizza and the garlic chicken- both were very good! The garlic chicken lacked chicken but the flavors were delicious! The Steve's was truly delicious! I would order that one again for sure. The breadsticks were dry and mediocre at best, I would not order them again. I will come back because the pizza is good... guess I'll just make sure we have ranch before going. read more

My son took me here for Mother's Day. We walked around the little town of Davis looking for something and left because we either did not want to wait or the vibe just did not feel right. We ended up here, and absolutely loved it. The service was so friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting and the pizza was delicious. Will definitely come back the next time, we are in this little town. Thank you read more

on our way home from a weekend boating birthday trip decided to stop here for some pizza. Pizza was amazing. Didn't leave me feeling bloated or retaining water due to high sodium content. Pizza was fresh light and yummy. staff were incredibly helpful and nice. Definitely will pass through there again on our way out of town. read more

Classic pizza parlor vibes. A corner of arcade games, salad bar, lots of TVs and so many great beers on tap. We heard about the viral Butter Chicken Pizza which did not disappoint. Staff is super friendly. Only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because we prefer a thinner crust. Will be back! read more

As a proud UC Davis Aggie alum, I've been eating at Steve's since, well, Steve made the pizza. I'm happy to report that the newer owners (about five years now) have kept the good vibes and good food going. Here's to dining in, nothing ever seems to taste as good at home. Steve's has got a sports bar vibe with 10 TVs. There's a pretty good salad bar to practice your reverse-Jenga skills and get as much as you can on the one plate per guest. Lettuce was super fresh which of course is the building block of any salad bar worth its stuff. I don't like anything on the bone, but my posse wanted bone-in wings and they disappeared quickly. The garlic bread twists had a nice kick. I'm a pepperoni pizza guy and this one is tasty. Yes to supporting small business (when it's good) and Steve's gets all five of my stars. read more

I ordered one of their specialty burgers (Sticky Burger)and it was extremely greasy. The bread fell apart from the grease and it stuck to the roof of my mouth. It was a sweet greasy mess(you can see the grease on the plate) with no flavor. I informed the cashier that I did not like it and it tasted pretty bad. He asked me if I wanted something else and I said yes. I ordered a salad and was charged the full price for switching out that greasy mess. First and last time customer. read more

I scheduled a pickup day before because my son's daycare has lunch at 11AM. I asked if there were any coupons and the person I spoke with said they have 25% off whole order coupons there and they'd apply it to the order when I picked it up. I arrive and the salad I ordered was not ready and the person that rung me up refused to apply any discount at all. He said he called his manager and the manager refused a discount. I will be going to Woodstocks from now on. read more

Paid for 2 personal size pizzas. Waited 35min and got 2 microwave looking pizzas. They also overcharged for toppings .

Love this cute little local pizza place. We came here when we were in town for my nephew's graduation. It is my nephews favorite pizza place. And you can tell it's a local favorite for all the college kids. They sell beer and seltzers and offer you shots. lol my kind of place. They have a great salad bar. So I did get that and their pizza was excellent. read more

We did take out of two pizzas, costing about $70. Wow...what a colossal disappointment. The crust, which 15 yrs ago was decent, this time was like a pathetic dried cracker -- not doughy, not chewy -- a true embarrassment. Crust is everything in pizza, so this experience was a disaster. It appears the new owners are cheapskates living off the rep of old Steve. read more

Not a good first time experience. I'm going to blunt with this review because I felt ripped off from the service to the food. It was overpriced and the service didn't justify that price tag for a salad,wings and a drink. . I found some black gunk in my ice cube from the soda fountain by the way. The ice cubes had black specs all over it. I'm tempted to call the health department but maybe someone will see this review and investigate. The staff were rude and more concerned with Uber eats orders . Service is big with me and the staff just felt lazy . 28 bucks for ONE trip to the salad bar (the cashier told me it's not a buffet and I wasn't allowed anymore) . The wings were small and not worth 15 bucks . The salad bar was fine your typical pizza salad bar. I expected more with their social media presence but I found myself regretting walking in. read more

In the Hawaiian language "aloha" could mean "hello," "goodbye," or in this case..."love." Steve's "aloha" pizza truly is love at first bite! Here's why: 1. The crust is perfect 2. There's hearty chunks of grilled chicken breast 3. Generous amounts of sweet pineapple 4. Awesome balance of bacon crumbles 5. Exquisite smokey bbq sauce Don't forget to use your phone number to their loyalty program ;) Today we got 15% off our Aloha Pizza! read more

Love their aloha pizza! Best Hawaiian style pizza I've had in a while. Great prices and friendly staff, too!

Ordered 2 personal pizzas using their lunch deal which comes with a drink. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the restaurant gave me pizza parlor vibes which doesn't seem to exist at other pizza places anymore. This place is perfect to bring some friends to get food and drinks. I will 100% be returning :) read more

While I agree it is fun to go to other places, maybe even different countries, and claim that their dishes native to their regions are "the best," there really is no replacement for the foods you grew up on loving. In some respects, the stuff you were raised upon is better than the "authentic" version because it is all relative. That's right, everything is relative. Even your bougie artisanal grass-fed local version. I continue to give Steve's high praise not only because it is what I was raised upon, but also because I believe it is delicious. This last visit I was out with my Mom who decided that she wanted pizza. So I called them up and ordered a "Steve" which was obviously to go. No, it's not cheap. Took it (and Mom) to a park because all of the chairs there are outside and it was empty. It's a different version of your fave pizza parlor and it didn't require a flight nor a passport to obtain. read more

Steve's is a solid pizza spot in town. Quality ingredients and great tasting food. A bit expensive, so I usually come on Tuesdays for their BOGO L/XL pizza deal. Sign up for five star rewards to get deals and rewards points. I've only ever had "The Steve" and pepperoni pizza here. The staff has always been nice and cordial to me at every visit. They're masked up for COVID, and social distancing doesn't ever appear to be a problem. For this visit, I called in a takeout order and it was ready in 20 minutes. The Steve is your standard combo pizza: pepperoni, salami, olives, tomato, bell peppers, sausage, mushrooms, onions. Tastes great, a go-to classic pizza. I remembered to take a photo this time, so you can check out what it looks like. Though, I think most yelpers get this (judging from the photos). For the premium ingredients they use, the cost is well worth it. Though probably not super affordable for college students. read more

I arrived early on a rainy day and enjoyed good service. The salad bar was fresh and tasty However, I made a mistake ordering a Philly sandwich. It was drenched in grease. I couldn't eat the bread because it had become a grease sponge. I asked for no mayonnaise and they did meet my request, but I don't know what they added on the bread--Crisco? I'll stick to pizza and salad. They have got that down read more

When I went to wash my hands one of the bathrooms had dried up throw up in the sink. Made me almost lose my appetite. If I didn't already pay at the time I would have left. I'm a huge fan of Steve's name brand but this was the worst experience I've ever had at Steve's. I just ordered pizza and took them over 30 mins to send out to me. I work in the food industry and I'm a manager I would of got talked too about this very unexceptionable at a food business I'll probably never cine back to this location read more

I ordered an UberEats pickup order from Cupid's Wings in Davis with the item as pictured. Interestingly, there wasn't a restaurant actually called Cupid's Wings that can be found on the maps, nor there was any signage at the address suggesting that there was a restaurant named Cupid's Wings at the location. Instead, you only see Steve's Pizza outside at the address and that they do sell chicken wings during happy hour. As I entered the location and stood in line and wait, the kitchen staff just handed me the order without saying a word. I knew this order was mine because I asked for Hot Sauce with a Diet Pepsi with my order, and it was the only 8pcs that they were cooking up (they weren't cooking anything else at the time). The location was relatively empty with only a few other tables being seated. Although I thought it was weird that the kitchen staff would hand someone an order without saying anything, I digress... Originally, I thought paying $20 for 8x chicken tenders would last me both lunch and dinner, especially given the size of those tenders indicated in the picture. Upon opening the box, however, I can say I was beyond disappointed. The size of the "tenders" (or I mean nuggets) were somewhere between a popcorn chicken nugget and a McDonald's McNugget. Although the nugget uses actual chicken, the breading makes up a big portion of the nugget that you would consume. As for the food itself goes, they were cooking these nuggets and french fries in the pizza oven, so you can see that parts of the fries and nuggets were starting to be burnt. The fries were quite dry and so were the nuggets. The nuggets themselves taste and look exactly like the ones you would get at Grocery Outlet, where you would buy a large bag of orange chicken for $4.99, but bake the nuggets minus the sauce (which I often do myself at home using an air-fryer). I think it was pretty outrageous that they could be charging almost $20 for 8 tiny nuggets, fries, and drink (almost like a McDonald's Happy Meal) where I could have gotten 20 larger nuggets at McDonald's for $5, a large drink for a $1, and large fries for $1 under the app. While initially hoping to save the leftovers for dinner, the nuggets were so tiny that I ended up going to Jack in the Box a couple of blocks away afterward and getting another combo meal since they gave me so little food for $20. $30 total for a fast-food lunch? Not cool! read more

Steve's Pizza - $20 for Chicken Nuggets? - Pizza Near Me - Davis, California

I've been roaming Davis on my lunches for some time now, directly across the street is a competitor UOB BUT they don't serve food so we decided to step into Steve's Pizza. Immediately I got childhood memories from the back in the day pizzeria vibes, arcade games to the left, an above average salad bar AND an all you can eat Lunch special for $13.99. And that's what I was offered as soon as I walked up to the counter as I'm looking at their massive wall of beer taps. As I'm eating the pizza it reminds me of a better Mountain Mikes and as the pizza runs low for all you can eat the guys in the kitchen are pumping out more pizza and as they walk it out they were offering to serve before placing it under the heaters, literally fresh out of the oven! I was constantly checked on but not so much to were I was being bugged and the main guy behind the counter actually showed me the weekly special menu that was right in front of my face I didn't even notice it because I was in such a WOW. I highly recommend this place I'll be coming here when I'm in town or if me and the family want to take a little trip out of town and grab some pizza! read more

Well I have to say that the new owners are amazing! They red my review and made the pizza the way it was supposed to be. The crust was fluffy like it was when Steve owned it and it had some crisp to it. If anything is wrong they go above and try to get the pizza right for you. read more

The new owners are great! I ran into some trouble with ordering via Grubhub (some items didn't give any "no thanks" options and forced me to pay extra even though I didn't want them, then the address was wrong) - and the folks in the restaurant, who were the new owners, took a great interest in what I experienced. They were still setting things up and getting the kinks worked out in the old methods vs. new. They gave me a refund for the extra items I was forced to pay for but didn't actually want (just a few $ but still made a big impression), showed concern and action-oriented response to issues, and showed their excitement to have taken over. Will definitely be back - THIS is the way to handle things when they don't go as expected, business owners! The wings are HUGE by the way. read more
