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

Spinach Deep Dish Pizza

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!

Calzone large

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.

Since I was back in the area for few days, I decided to go back to SAP as it's one of the few…read moreplaces in town that is farm to table. My experience this time around was a little bit more of a let down hence why I had to take one star off. When I went few months ago, I had burnt coffee which I chalked it up as a one time error. But it happened again with this visit, so that told me they don't really pay much attention to their coffee yet they have a whole menu dedicated to coffee. I also made a reservation on a Sunday knowing it fills up quick and that it might be hard to get a table, however, it was an hour and half before they close which means they tend to slow down around that time. Also, when making a reservation, it'll ask you if you want bar, dining area or patio. I chose dining area. Yet they called me an half hour before to see if I wanted to sit at the bar, which I told them twice in person I do not want to, and as a result the hostess gave me the annoyed/judgmental look down when I wasn't looking. As someone who has owned a family restaurant business for 30 years, that's a big no-no in terms of customer service. It's just rude and unnecessary. Also, they kind of really try to get customers out by 2, which is when they close. By standard at most restaurants, they need an extra hour after closing for customers to take their time with their meals rather than rushing through it, especially if you will sit them 20 minutes before closing time. I felt rushed, and I don't like that feeling at a place I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Would I come back here? Absolutely yes because their food is really the best for brunch in the area and it's cleaner. It just shouldn't be an excuse with certain things like what I mentioned above. P.S. if chicken and waffles happens to be one of the specials, get it. It's by far the best dish I've ever tried there and also my top 3 chicken & waffles that I've tried anywhere. SO GOOD!

Everyone was happy and worried about how this experience would ruin us for other the other restaurants in the area. We showed up at 5:30p on a Saturday night and they were kind enough to squeeze us into their packed restaurant. We lingered over 4 courses where everything was fabulous. Our server was so exuberant about the food which was infectious. We started with the Shrimp Corn Salsa and Brussel Sprouts. Salad was Beet ricotta and greens. Everyone loved them. For entrees I tried the pasta special which was a smoked chicken and veg pasta and man the smoke was intense but delicious. Others had the Chicken Parm and the Sea Scallops. Dessert was tiramisu and the special peach cheese mascarpone cake.

I…read morecalled ahead to give them as much notice as I could, but it was definitely still very last minute. They were extremely friendly and accommodating and had no problem getting all of us taken care of. I kept it pretty simple and got a burger and a beer. The burger was really good and everything came out well, especially considering how many of us there were. What really stood out though was the service. One person in our group is extremely picky about how she likes her steak cooked and ended up sending it back three times. Each time they were friendly about it and genuinely seemed more concerned with getting it right for her than being annoyed about having to remake it again. For us to come in with 25 people on such short notice and still have everyone be so friendly and accommodating was really appreciated. They handled our group incredibly well and never made us feel like an inconvenience. Definitely a 5-star experience and somewhere I would come back to.

First time here, the real stand out dish was the Panko crusted walleye that my friend ordered. It…read morewas perfectly prepared. I ordered poorly and didn't even finish half of my plate. It was a Trio Diavolo, a trio of protein with squid pasta, and a red sauce. I didn't understand that the proteins were diced bits that were stirred into the red sauce pasta. I actually thought the protein was separate from a side of pasta. It disappointed me because I generally dislike seafood in red sauce, but honestly, that wasn't their fault so I still gave them a high rating. Service was friendly and playful. Pretty efficient and seemed to like their job. It is a beautiful restaurant with a pretty amazing view, even if the water is at very sad low levels. Maybe this is natural, I've never been here before. All of the wildlife/birds really enhanced the experience. Flocks of seagulls (not the band), and surprisingly large number of pelicans were wonderful to watch. You can see the riverfront exterior and distant bridge in my standard and 360° photos.
