    We live near this Stuc's and love the deep dish pizza. However, decided to change it up and ordered the Italian Beef instead of going to House of Hoagie's. I was very disappointed. The bread was older, burnt (see images) and the meat was dry. After paying almost $13 I would not recommend

    Get the deep dish!!! I actually ate 4 pieces of their deep dish, it was amazing! We were at the wine bar next door (Xe54) and they let you bring in your pizza from Stuc's. The staff was friendly and the ambiance looks like not much but don't let that fool you. Everyone I asked had always ordered the thin, but I'm a Chicago style pizza fan and was thrilled to see the deep dish option. It was fresh ingredients, well seasoned and the next best thing to Chicago. Located very close to the hotels and airport in Appleton so great for travelers ad well!

    Love love love my stucs calzones, tonight they came a little over done. Still will continue to support this business. Excellent pizza and excellent calzones.. We also like the buffet at the college ave location. Love the pizza sauce and absolutely love their sausage. We also got the cheesy garlic bread which was also amazing.

    Unfortunately we had kind of a bad experience here. We called about 30 min before hand and waited another 40 minutes in the lobby. It didn't appear to be busy and the staff were hanging out and talking when we arrived.During our arrival they said our order was not ready and a few minutes later they started to make our order. The pizza was pretty good with generous toppings and came in kind of pricey at around $25.00 for a large pizza. I'm writing this during the time of the Wisconsin mask mandate and If you're concerned about staff wearing masks we did witness two folks out of uniform around the food and wandering thru out the kitchen while we were there.

    The "Good Mood Food" was a slogan in a string of Arby's commercials a while back, but Appleton residents may recognize it better from the sign of a local pizza joint, specializing in Chicago-style deep dish. Now, the sing-songy phrase itself is vague and doesn't tell me anything about the food itself, but it DOES rhyme and sometimes that's enough to grab your attention. However, that's never enough to make me eat at Arby's. That's because -- if you know me -- I sincerely DON'T want "the meats." That's right, I'm your "friendly neighborhood" Valley Vegan and today we're talking STUC'S PIZZA. Stuc's has been in Appleton since I can remember yelling "cowabunga" and truly caring about pizza (their website says "over 20 years"). It's in a small, blink-and-you-miss-it building just on the periphery of downtown, by a string of businesses I also always blink and miss. I mean, do we really have that many bars in Appleton that we require a bar stool specialty store? I guess so. I'm no expert on the history, but I know Stuc's changed hands back in the early 2000's when the original owner retired to play more golf and a manager took the reins. In 2007, they expanded and a second location opened up in Neenah out by Holiday's Pub and Grill (think Fox Crossing area). And since then, I believe it's changed ownership once more. There's a reason it's lasted, though: It's deep dish is tough to beat -- even in Chicago. A lot of that comes down to three things: delicious sauce, quality ingredients and a perfect, crispy-yet-doughy crust. First off, the sauce is sweet, with a smooth consistency that melts into your tastebuds. If you get a calzone, then you get extra sauce for dipping, which, I must admit, I've eaten with a spoon. There's flavor to it and that's one of the reasons that it's remained one of my favorite pies since becoming vegan. A bad tomato sauce is obvious without salty, gooey cheese to mask it, but this sauce does not feel naked in any way when you remove the dairy. The ingredients are fresh, too, and they never skimp on the veggies (or meat, if you swing that way). For the veggie lover, I recommend their Veggie Supreme. For the meat eater, try the sausage, which they source from the local Haen Meat Market. Either way, there's always plenty to eat and it most definitely fills you up. Two slices of the deep dish and I'm done. (Regrettably, I've often gone for a third slice only to be bloated and ashamed.) My wife and I like their pizza so much, we had these guys deliver to our wedding -- as the main course. It saved on money and, seriously, who the heck doesn't like pizza? For the big event, we decided on their hand-tossed style, which is ergonomically less likely to drip red, stain-prone sauce on an expensive white dress. It's not as iconic as their deep dish, but it did the trick. Now, doing 40-some pizzas for a wedding was certainly not something Stuc's was used to, but they pulled it off, with only the smallest of hiccups (slightly late and their driver needed a couple extra hands). An addition, their general manager was easy to work with -- cheerful, almost enthusiastic to a fault, and really wanting to make our wedding a great experience. He works with companies often, delivering sizable lunches and such. However, he seemed especially interested in doing more large events, much like our wedding, and I think he was using it as a sort of trial. I might be biased, but I think it was a success. My biggest gripes with Stuc's have involved their somewhat rocky partnership with Holiday's Pub and Grill. The two businesses share a building and you can order and eat Stuc's inside of Holiday's, which is awesome if you want a beer and a giant projection TV whilst indulging on pizza. My wife and I used to walk to Holiday's quite often a couple years back, when we lived much closer and we loved the food and atmosphere. However, in those days, we were on the losing end of a string of kitchen screw ups that occurred due to reckless communication snafus between the two businesses. Sometimes it was one's fault, sometimes the other's. Once our pizza was given to a different customer. Another time, the toppings were wrong. It certainly could've been worse, and we did receive apologies and money off our bills, but it had happened enough to note in this review. Hopefully, this has gotten better. A couple other fun tidbits: -- Their calzones are two-meals huge, so you get your money's worth. I used to get them more often, but the toppings have the propensity to clump together (i.e.: onions pushed to one side). -- They have more than pizza. There's salads, pasta and sandwiches, too, but I like their pizza too much to have ever tried anything else. Their bakery items, I'm told, are all hand crafted by a little old lady. This may be fake news, but they taste like they're made by someone who cares. Sadly, not vegan. -- Stuc's also has a gluten-free crust available on request.

    Good calzones and regular and gluten-free pizza. Stuc's topping and sauce options make it a nice alternative to big chain pizza restaurants.

    Every visit is amazing. Food is always delicious, service amazing and a great feel in the room.read more

    My team recommended this place while I was in town and they did not disappoint. Whether you live…read morehere, driving through or visiting make it a point to stop by. Ambiance: cute, cozy and intimate lighting which is perfect date night vibe and there were still some bigger parties accommodated. Arrived and it was packed and still not very noisy. Service: Nick was awesome! Knowledgeable, friendly and personable. There's a level of pride in the work that he does that screams unreasonable hospitality (IYKYK) and paced my courses out beautifully. Wine recommendation was on point and attention to others didn't lapse. All tables felt his presence. Food: House salad was easily the best red wine vinaigrette that I've ever had. The garlic was the perfect kick. Scallops appetizer were sweet and perfectly cooked through and the spinach/basil cream sauce that was under and surrounded the dish was amazing (and I don't or at least didn't think I liked basil!). For dinner I hate the halibut and mushroom risotto which was cooked to perfection. The risotto does have onions which I missed and didn't care for but they took care and offered me a separate bed which I thought was incredibly nice. For dessert I had the chocolate cake which was delicious. Coffee/espresso hints and perfect texture of cake to filling. I will be back for sure!
