Great food and prices and super friendly staff. Great place for family or large groups too

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

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

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

Pizza was hot and ready to go when I arrived. The pizza was tasty as always. I'll have to eat there next time to take advantage of the salad bar. read more

Our first "Covid" valentines day with a toddler! We needed some comfort food, STAT! My mom recomended Steve's Pizza as a great local spot to get take out, so we decided to check it out. We were amazed to see how many options they had besides just the typical pizza! We ordered a small pepperoni pizza, kids speghetti meal, cheeseburger, philli cheesecake, fries, and boneless wings. We wanted to try it ALLLL! Everything was so delicious and the service was amazing. They hooked us up with a delicious Valentines Day dinner to take home. The food was so fresh and the portions were generous. We highly recommend stopping by Steve's Pizza for some good eats! read more

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

It's hard to imagine a veggie pizza I've enjoyed more than the ones I get from Steve's Pizza. It's called the Classic Vegetarian and it is perfect. It has everything I want in a pizza: It tastes fresh, the crust is the perfect thickness, and the cheese is just enough to keep the toppings on (of which there are lots). It is even good reheated - given you have a toaster oven - which is ideal because I can never finish what I order. I may not be able to speak to any of their other menu items, but their team provides excellent service and I always loved visiting their location before the pandemic. The whole place gave off the classic pizza place vibes I'm crazy for. But really the biggest reason to love Steve's for me is that Classic Vegetarian Pizza. I don't think I'll ever get enough. read more

Tried a small combination pizza. Came out quick. Staff friendly and helpful. Pizza was good - only gripe was the toppings sometimes slid off the piece mid bite. But otherwise no complaints. They provided plenty Parmesan and red pepper packets along with plates and napkins for the to go order. read more

+ = epic Steve's pizza was doing heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day and it was so cute! Either to share or for yourself, this pizza is pretty scrumptious. I'm pretty picky with pizza sauces since many places normally lay the tomatoe sauce very thick, but I enjoyed Steve's since it wasn't over done. As you can see, it had a lot of pepperoni slices on it, so they weren't skimping out on the meat. I also normally don't eat the crust on pizzas (mainly cause of too much bread), unless its stuffed crust, but I liked the crispy crust! It was really good dunking it in pizza's favorite sauce: ranch read more

Steve's Pizza - Pepperoni shaped as a heart - Pizza Near Me - Davis, California

Pizza is decent, but the crust is not like it used to be. The ovens have changed to the cheap ones used at places like Little Caesers and Pizza Hut circa 2010 to present. Red Sauce is pleasant but not as tomato-like. Toppings are average. Cheddar cheese is no longer part of the cheese mix at the J Street location. Workers are pleasant enough, and some are friendly. It's good if you can't afford the pricey pizza or need to feed the kids, and it's less greasy than other places. No salad bars at most locations per health regulations. Ambiance is average, depending on the location. If you want to dine in, check your location first. Some don't have tables and are take-out only. Overall, not bad but not like the old days. 3.6 stars at a whole, rounded up to 4.0 read more

I've been going to Steve's for 5+ years & sadly the quality has dramatically decreased in the last 2. Not even going to go into the bad customer service I've experienced in that time, and just focus on the miserable meal I was served last night. Ordered medium thin crust pepperoni, same as every other time. Was told to pick it up in 30 minutes...when I picked it up (and tipped heavily mind you) I didn't notice the bottom of the box was ice cold. When I got home, the pizza looked like it had been sitting out for HOURS before they sliced it. I cannot beleive the manager himself looked me dead in the eye as he was handing me what he KNEW was a substandard meal for which I paid $25. TBH, Little Ceasers is vastly superior to this Steve's location for pizza, breadsticks, and general customer service. If you're in Davis, I recommend avoiding this place as its really gone down hill. Fortunately the Woodland location for Steve's has better customer service and doesn't serve their longtime customer's food that belongs in the dumpster instead of on their plates. After getting bad experiences 4x at this location, my fiance and I will never return again. Ever. read more

I waited for an hour for 1 large pizza. After my daughter kept asking me , Daddy, "why do they take so long?" At this point, I lost my appetite for pizza and wanted to walk out after already paying for it. Never will be here again. read more

$29 for a medium mediocre pizza and two sodas is kinda ridiculous. We ordered a pepperoni and sausage and out came pepperoni and pineapple. The pizzas wasn't even cut all the way through, so trying to pull a piece off resulted in half of a slice with the cheese left on the pan The "arcade" is a joke, as everything is off or doesn't work. And their ranch is so chunky, I thought it was blue cheese dressing at first. Not good Steve. Not good. read more

This pizza was to go and pickup. It was a little over $40 for a large margarita pizza and cheesy breadsticks. The pizza smelled really amazing due to the basil. It was disappointing when it came to the actual meal. The cheesy bread had little cheese and was super dry, the "Steve's sauce" tasted bland. The pizza was disproportionate where there was an overwhelming amount of bread that was cooked unevenly (some burnt parts and some doughy parts). The toppings (cheese, tomato, and basil) did taste good and fresh but there was so little and it was outweighed by the amount of bread. The food was not tasty, the price doesn't match the quality, and I was not satisfied by the food. read more

Steve's Pizza has gone way downhill. I've been a customer since 1990 and I am appalled at the state of the restaurant and the service. The soda machine has been broken for months, the salad bar is stale, our pizza was burned last time and the time before that, we were given the wrong pizza. We have been the only customers in the restaurant the last two times. I could not find any workers last time to get a box, so I helped myself! What a terrible state the place is in. Where is Steve?! read more

Amazing service, such great people working here. They care so much for their customers and have delicious food. Definitely coming back. The owner and his family are incredibly kind! Ranch is fire if you like it :) read more

Have been going to Steve's for years and always had a good hot tasty pizza. However the last 2 times we ordered, the pizzas are lacking sauce (which is usually really good) and the pizzas are over baked, some would call it burnt. Ordered about a month apart hoping the first over baked pizzas were an accident. Service remains good. read more

Ordered a meatball sandwich and an Italian sub to be delivered. With tax, the cost was over $30. This food was horrible! Both sandwiches arrived hot, but were soggy. We could not pick up the sandwiches without the bread falling apart in our hands. The only was to eat any part of them was with a fork. The bread was inedible. There were WAY too many grilled peppers and onions on both sandwiches. The fries were also soggy and limp. Some of the fries were burned at the ends; not as though they were in the frier too long, but literally charred black. Ordering on-line was the only pleasant experience about this order. Easy to order, easy to pay. Delivery was supposed to be around 7:00. At around 7:20, we called to ask about our order. About fifteen minutes later, a Steve's Pizza delivery person arrived. So delivery was 35-40 minutes late. The food steaming in a box with too many vegetables while waiting for delivery likely made everything too soggy to eat. There's no explanation for the burned fries. They should not have been served under any circumstance. We won't be going back. read more

I ordered a calzone here and it was delicious. Fluffy crust with tasty pepperoni, salami, bell pepper, mushroom, and broccoli. Definitely exceeded my expectations taste wise. I would assume the pizza is also good but I'll have to come back again to try it. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night and they seemed really understaffed. Had to wait around 40 minutes for a to go order. The prices are fair compared to other pizza spots in the area. Food: 4/5 Value: 3.75/5 Service: 3/5 Overall: 3.75/5 read more

Once again I'm here to discuss the pizza index which is based on a cost/quality relationship. Steve's used to rank pretty high on this index for me, but with the new owners quality has taken a huge step back. For those that don't know, this location used to be run by the "founder" I guess you can call him. Other Steve's locations were run by a franchisee. When the founder wanted to retire he sold this location to the franchisee, which makes sense. So back when I used to own a store across the street from them they were delicious. Pizza, bread sticks, salad bar, cinnasticks and more were great. Easily in 4 or 5 star territory. After they changed hands the quality dropped because I think the new owner buys everything in bulk and spreads it across all his locations. This tanked the quality. Couple that with the way they changed the recipes and you have a perfect storm for two star territory. My employees loved their cinnasticks... they basically became these burnt, inedible twist things that everyone hated. Cheese, toppings, and sauce on the pizza changed and were terrible. Overall there are waaaaaaay better places to have pizza, within walking distance even. Like seriously, off the top of my head, there are three within a couple blocks that I would prefer. read more

Steve's Pizza - Cheesy bread and the steve pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Davis, California

This Steve's pizza location is great and all the staff is very friendly. Their lunch pizza/salad bar buffet priced at $13.99 is reasonably priced served from 11:00am - 2:00 pm. They were making fresh pizza right up to the end of their lunch hour. Service was impressive and staff was kind enough to not only announce but also serve freshly made pizza slices to tables right out of the oven. I enjoyed it and worth the drive from Woodland, will return. read more

Steve's has really good pizza and have cleaned up the restaurant since last time I was in. Arguably best pizza in town.

Most honest staff ever. Left my wallet there and they delivered it. Truly great folks. The sandwich was good too.

I thought I'd try Steve's pizza since Woodstock was full of guests, and I'd seen an Instagram post of it having good pizza. After ordering the garlic ranch chicken pizza & a pitcher of beer, which we didn't get right away, it took 10 to 15 minutes to receive the pitcher; meanwhile, they brought that out, we couldn't find a spot to sit without us horrendously sweating! The only place where they did have AC was in the back, where families had already taken up the 4 to 5 tables that were back there, so we decided to eat outside, which was still hot but had airflow. Once we received our pitcher, the lovely, inexperienced guy poured our beer into the cups incorrectly, causing a lot of foam, so we had to wait extra. Once the foam had gone down, I proceeded to drink and realized my cup had lipstick! I left very disappointed. read more

Get "The Steve" combo pizza and you will be quite full after a few slices. It looks great too. I just kinda wish the name of combo pizza was different because I kept thinking about the founder "Steve" while eating "The Steve" and seeing Steve's face inside "Steve's Pizza" box. Just overloaded by seeing lots of "Steve" as a name and face and then having lots of "The Steve" pizza down in my tummy. read more

Steve's Pizza - Small pizza: $7 - Pizza Near Me - Davis, California

Steve's Pizza is a great choice for pizza and pasta in Davis. Steve's is definitely more 'old school' when it comes to the food. It is not fancy-schmancy or complicated. IT'S A PIZZA JOINT. And as a pizza joint, it is great. Steve's offers a nice variety of pizzas, pasta, sides, and a salad bar. The pizza at Steve's is straight up what you would think a 'standard' pizza should be... you can get all the standard toppings (nothing really exotic), the dough isn't too thick or too thin, and price-wise it hits in the middle (maybe upper-middle) of the pack. If you're going to Steve's, you're most likely looking to eat pizza. As I just mentioned, Steve's offers up all the traditional pizza toppings in a variety of combinations or you can make your own up. I'm a fan of the Original Steve's Combo as it is very balanced between fresh veggies and tasty meats. For those of you who enjoy non-meat pizzas, the all veggie pizza is quite good. My favorite item on it has to be the large slices of tomatoes on it. Super flavorful! The pizza crust is great. I actually prefer a thinner crust pizza (because I feel thick crust gets you too full too fast), but Steve's pizza crust is in that sweet spot that hits the 'just right' mark. It's soft, a little doughy (in a good way), and not hard labor to eat. Besides the pizzas, I would recommend the pasta dishes. I was surprised at how good they were the first time I had them. The spaghetti and meatballs come with three large sized meatballs. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a pasta dish if you go to Steve's. Steve's falls short in a couple areas for me. The first area is the breadsticks. I usually go crazy for pizza place breadsticks... but these are flabby and a bit oily tasting. I would just skip this and wait for the pizza to come out. The other area is the salad bar. The salad bar seems to be stuck in the past. The ingredients there are small in number, and the entire thing just doesn't look too fresh. There are a few highlights in the salad bar (CROUTONS!), but not enough to really warrant getting it. If you're going to go to Steve's, besides giving the pizza a try, go for some pasta too! Steve's is a great choice for pizza in Davis. I would say it is one of my top three places for pizza locally! read more

From the service to the delicious pizza, Steve's gets a big thumbs up! My boo and I came here on Valentines and we got two heart shaped pizzas! Not only did they look amazing, but they tasted even better. I got the veggie pizza and it was one of the best veggie pizzas I have ever had. I enjoyed the freshness and variety of veggies that came on top. All of the flavors blended nicely and it tasted divine. The service was super friendly and I appreciated them going out of their way to offer ranch, and other regular pizza condiments. It was a great experience and I will definitely be returning on my next visit to Davis. Thank you, Steve's!!! read more

This place is yummy! Good signature pizzas but sort of pricey. Get some bread sticks, they are the best with ranch and/or marinara sauce. You can get them to use white sauce instead of red; I prefer the white sauce. One of their signature pizzas has white sauce. I would come here again but it is pricey. I don't think you can buy pizza by the slice. Can't go wrong with a pitcher of beer! read more

Good Since my family and I had pizza for dinner last night we didn't order any pizza this time. Instead we had burgers, chicken nuggets and pasta. The setting reminds me of a Round Table so everything's casual, the attire and ambience... they had a salad bar and a TV room and also a little arcade room. The weather outside was nice enough to eat on their patio seating which we did. The squirrels didn't come near our table but they were around. I had the Pesto Chicken... there were hardly any chicken and just a few mushrooms, there were lots of penne pasta and artichoke hearts and tomatoes in basil pesto cream and topped with shredded Asiago cheese. It was good but I was looking for more grilled chicken breasts. My husband did enjoy his Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Melt. It had sauteed mushrooms and Provolone cheese, mayo, lettuce and Roma tomatoes. We will have to come back here for the pizza and that will be another separate review. I used a gift card for our meal but went over the card value. The cashier that tended to our order charged me the whole amount on my debit card and didn't apply the gift card. Hope it gets fixed soon. I did call the restaurant and was told that the Manager caught it and will apply the credit. Street parking. We were lucky to find one with just a little bit of walking but not sure how it would be on a weekday as it is close to the University. They do deliver. Review #0190 read more
