This is our home away from home, our child goes to school nearby and we live far away so we are always stopping for dinner after school. We have had the pizza obviously, which is solid. I also enjoy getting their salads with chicken, they give a huge portion, and my daughter loves the chicken parm sub and fries. I tried their gnocchi once, I think it was a cream sauce with prosciutto and peas, it was absolutely delicious. Now after reading other reviews I realize I have not ventured out enough with their menu and I will definitely try a calzone next time! The interior is nice and clean but mostly we love the people there. I will never forget watching the World Cup games last winter there, so much fun, and as far as I'm concerned I owe it to Stefanos for Argentinas win! We even kept the Stefanos pot holder with us for the games we didn't watch there for good luck!
Huge fan of their personal pie pizzas. I always bring my son in here and order these since he loves plain and I love a few more toppings. Friendly staff but their prices are a bit on the higher end for these personal pies.
I'm in town for a family event and living the hotel life. Since I'm here, I'm eating all the things! Stefanos was quick to answer the phone, food was ready immediately, and the customer service was exceptional. "You got it" is a message of comfort. It's a great local place with great service. Sofia salad ($9.50) is labeled 'new' on the menu and it was a lovely start to the meal. The arugula was fresh along with the toppings. You can swap out for any salad dressing you want. I loved the little cubes of beets. Calzone ($14.95 for large) was filled with cheese. I really appreciate the big side of marinara sauce for epic dunks. Don't skip this one. Shrimp parm dinner ($16.95) came with six perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp, marinara tossed pasta of your choice, side salad, and rolls (generously gave three big rolls). Garlic knots (5 for $3.50) are on the small side but perfect size for the kids. Sautéed broccoli ($7.25) was so good. It was cooked soft and had a buttery taste. There were no leftovers! I thought I ordered too much but somehow it was all gone. A good sign if you ask me! Thanks Stefano's for the garlic breath. I mean that in the best way.
Stefanos has, by far, the best eggplant parm. We have been getting catering for holidays here for 20+ years and the quality has always been consistently great.
