The pizza joint equivalent of your favorite hoodie: not fancy, but it always delivers. If you're after linen tablecloths and curated wine list, keep driving. But if you want solid, no-nonsense pizza at a price that doesn't make your wallet cry--Padrino's II is your jam. I can feed my whole family for under $35, tip included. Try pulling that off at a chain and see what kind of sadness shows up in a greasy box. This is a true mom-and-pop operation: no corporate gimmicks, just reliable, above-average pizza made by folks who've clearly done this a thousand times before. Delivery? Always 45-60 minutes. Never faster, never slower. Hoping for a 30-minute miracle? You must be new here. The dine-in vibe? Let's call it seasoned. Clean freaks might raise an eyebrow, but the hometown feel and genuinely kind staff make up for the scuffed floors and décor straight out of a 1993 pizza calendar. Bottom line: better than most chain joints, cheaper than therapy, and reliably comforting. Padrino's II is a Stafford classic for a reason. read more

Was going to give it 2 stars but then I noticed they put dark meat on my buffalo chicken pizza.

The service was amazing and the food was really good at an UNBEATABLE price. Great portion sizes and a speeding exit time

This is the closest pizza place that delivers to our house, which to be fair, is a bit of a ways in the woods. But we are on navigation systems. When we order we always get a 60 minute timeframe... always. Ok, I order earlier than usual... except Padrino's is always late. Very late and the pizza is always cold. We keep giving them chances, but at this point we're better off making our own, and it's cheaper. I do NOT recommend this place. The food is ok. Nothing special. Definitely not worth the wait time... and drivers who don't know how to use a navigation system. I'd give them a pass. read more

Was passing by on the highway and saw the sign and decided to stop by. Boy am I glad I did. I always try to eat at small restaurants to give local business, and Padrino's really made it worth it. Best steak and cheese I have ever had. You can tell the owner takes pride in his business after taking one bite. I spoke to him, very nice gentleman. I liked the feel of a small town hole in the wall restaurant. read more

I asked the guy at the hotel, "What's the best pizza place from the list?" He said, Padrino's! I told my kids let's go! Got there and it looked a little different on the outside. But hey we are in town for a few days, so why not! We got there and everyone was friendly. We ordered a 14 inch pepperoni pizza and 12 wings to go! We got back to the hotel and baby that food didn't disappoint my family! Everything was great! read more

We stopped off in Stafford for an overnight stay on our way home . My kids were begging for pizza. Coming from Jersey I was extremely skeptical. We took the plunge and ordered from here and let me just say, it's not New Jersey/New York best but for the area this did the job! My kids are pizza snobs lol and they had no complaints ! We also ordered a cheesesteak with some fries made it an "Italian cheesesteak" and a little touch of home was right in my hotel room ! lol In addition the staff was really sweet. As we sat there on a Saturday night they were nothing short of busy. Delivery guys were in and out and the phone was ringing constantly. Now Stafford Va is not a primary destination for us however if we end up here again we will definitely order from them again! I would recommend them, let's support local businesses also read more

Yummy Pizza (and reasonably priced), Calzone, and Cheesesteaks!! Haven't tried anything else, but I'm sure it's all fantastic.

Great Spot for Pizza or Subs. Long time Customer since 1995. Great friendly service Awesome Pies and Fantastic Subs. Never had a bad meal and nothing but Good things to say about Padrino's Pizza and Subs. read more

We decided we wanted pizza today, we decided to try a new restaurant that we had never been to before. From the outside of this restaurant it looks like a hole in the wall something that you might ignore, but if you walk inside you Will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and the professionalism from the staff. We absolutely loved our pizza and wings. We will definitely be going here again. Don't judge a book by its cover, go in give it a try I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends. I have the opportunity of meeting the owner, very nice gentleman takes pride in his food and preparation. read more

Solid pizza in Stafford. Been here 6 months and this is my go to. The pizza is loads better than anything a chain like Pizza Hut, dominoes, or papa John's puts out. Also one of only pizza places I've seen have roasted red peppers as a topping option lol. I try a lot of pizza places every location I live at and this spot isn't going to blow your mind, but it is definitely a solid pick that will leave you satisfied. And at the end of the day, I just want some pizza that hits the spot, and Padrino's II has succeeded in delivering that read more

Pizza is nicely priced and came fresh. Delivery guy was so sweet and the pizza was overall great :)

Spinach alfredo pizza was honestly the best I've EVER had. The cajun wings were very good. Wasn't impressed with the service. I received TWO small celery sticks and a half-filled ranch cuplet with my 6-piece wings. read more

Our favorite local pizza and their Greek salad is the best, however their delivery is kind of iffy. The delivery driver always calls from outside and I have to go down to the end of my sidewalk to pay and get the pizza. We don't have a dog or anything, so we're not sure what his deal is. read more

Everything I've tried have been very tasty... cheesesteak with egg, calzones, hippie rolls, fried mushrooms are definitely a must try!

Stromboli taste is okay, definitely not worthy of above 3 stars for that. Marinara sauce is watery so there's no point in using that. My food is now room temperature. Service was awful! I had to wait 2 hours for my food and my delivery drive had me stand out in the rain to get my food while he stayed in the vehicle and passed me the food through the window. If I'm paying for delivery service, the food should be brought to my door. I had called 3 times to get an update on my order (after about an hour and 45 minutes) and I got placed on hold 3 times and each time was hung up on. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

On Dec 2017. My delivery order was 2 hours delayed, I still gave the driver a tip, since i am a nice guy. Called the store, they gave me a full credit for entire order to be used at a later date. I call 2 months later to use the credit. First I was told there is no manager on duty, & they can't find the credit. I insisted, and then I spoke to 2 different managers who came on the phone! Both managers gave me all kinds of drama, like there is no credit, and why I'm I calling 2 months later if there was credit, would not even let me talk. So freaking RUDE. Long story short, the entire Staff lied and gave me hard time over the phone, like it's my fault the delivery was 2 hours late...... Have fun dealing with the staff here read more

Great pizza, but eat it within 24 hours because once the crust hardens it's like a rock. Salads are good, appetizers are tasty. This place is very close to NY style, large slices greasy pizza! read more

Excellent pizza!!! Thick juicy, no sparring on Ingredients!! Will now my new go too for pizza delivery!!

I ordered a pizza. Margarita with alfredo sauce. Thought, when they said, Basil on top, they meant leaves. Not dried basil. It showed up over an house later, cold, soggy and greasy. Go figure. So, I called them. Put me on hold. Then they said it was greasy due to the sauce. I might have warned the customer when they ordered. Just a thought. I asked that they send me another, with red sauce. I gave back the old one. And the new one was even more soogy. Though not cold. I worked in. Pizza joint. This happens when you through your dough in advance, and put it in the fridge on the screen and wait to cook it until later. Good luck with your business, guys. You are not good. At ALL. back to Vinny's next time. read more

Great place for some quick Italian. Ordered to go for my fiancé and I. The staff was so kind and considerate; questioned if I would prefer my appetizer while I waited for the rest of my order. The serving sizes were large and filling. Had it for both dinner and lunch the next day! Tip : take a take out menu , there are coupons on them! And they deliver ! Which is nice , because the area hasn't caught up with the Uber eats delivery quite yet. read more

Very unprofessional, driver brought the wrong food, and when I asked for them to do it over. They told me they were out of the product. I asked for my money back, he insisted on picking up the food. No problem I just hope they don't resell it to others. Stacey wasn't very polite either about the situation. Asked to speak to the manager and he wasn't helpful at all just tried to defend himself with unnecessary excuses. read more

If you're into rubber dough, sour cause and dried toppings, then this is the place to go. Delivery is extremely slow and your order is never correct or is not up to par. the store itself is not inviting and looks like it's always under construction. It's old and dingy. Staff is unfriendly and most of the time rude. There really is no manager on duty. I think they pick straws to see who will be the manager to deal with customers. don't even try to call and complain because you get excuses but no solutions. Not a good place to eat or order for delivery. read more

Been here 7 yrs and all of sudden the Subs have gotten worse. Literally no meat, pizza ok fried pickles great but the subs use to be great, now they freakin SUCK read more

After working all day and then driving two hours to get to our hotel, picking up pizza sounded like the best plan. They were very friendly when we placed our order over the phone. When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was that it had a very NY feel. The five minutes of driving to the hotel was torture because everything smelled amazing and like a NY pizzeria, something we both miss. Their garlic bread with cheese was the best garlic bread I've had. We tried the boneless wings with a bourbon kick and it had a kick! The pizza was great as well. If we're ever back in the area we will be back! read more

If you like wings this is the place. We have been coming for years and wings are consistently so good !!! Everything is but in my home wing Wednesday are Always with Padrinos. This location have great staff too. read more

Great pizza and an affordable price. Padrinos makes their pizza fresh every day. Its a small local place that really tries hard and the result is a very good experience. They have recently added a new room that features hookah which is a nice addition for the area. The restaurant also offers subs and other meals, or just head over to check out their full bar. If you need a good pizza give Padrino's a try. read more

Ok so seriously, I found this place when I lived just up rt 1 in an apt while my husband was stationed at Quantico. But let me tell you, we have moved away and ever time I come to visit I HAVE to get a pizza from Padrinos 2. Don't be confused, there is another Padrinos 2 just up rt 1 and it is NOT THE SAME! The pizza is AWESOME. I have never had pizza as good as a warm slice of Padrinos 2. My favorite is their deluxe....yum. you can't beat their price either. I would pay a lot more for their pizza though. Seriously, I now live in Wisconsin and I come home for Easter to visit family. I was only home for 3 days and I drove 2 hours out of my way to go get this pizza. Its that good. I understand why people complain that it's not the best upkept place, but it is by no means "dirty." The bathroom is clean, the floors and tables are clean. Yes, the booths are cracked and old, but the kitchen area (that you can see clearly behind the counter) is shiny and clean. The people that work there care about their craft not hiding boxes. You can tell by the amazing flavor they produce. The hookah is new since I moved away and honestly, it's not my thing so I have no opinion on that. But seriously...TRY THE PIZZA!!! You won't find another one like it...I promise. I have been stationed all over the US, from coast to coast, in over 10 states not to mention the ones we have vacationed in or visited and I am telling you that there is no better than Padrino's II! read more

I was disappointed to learn that Padrino's will not deliver six miles away. I know that there must be limits, but that seems a bit too close for a cutoff. It's my guess that their limit is five miles away. For tonight, it's back to Sam's. read more

This place is so good that I will be eating there at least one a week for the next month. This is true New York/tri state area pizza. You know the one that drips a little grease down your arm and you soak it up with your crust. I wish more people would stop going to gross Hut, papa jokes and other shitty pizza establishments so that places like this can thrive and take over the world introducing true pizza to the Americans. I'm so glad I found this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I order from this place a lot. The good is always tasty and the delivery drivers are quick and friendly. For a dive type dinner, there is a lot of options on the menu. It's a good local spot that I'm glad I found. read more

Terrible pizza and service. Manager had no remorse my food was cold and took over an hour and a half to arrive. Driver was fantastic though! Pizza was so dry and had no sauce Manager wouldn't let me talk! read more

Following down the lines of Pizza King and Aladin's, Padrino's II is also a restaurant/hookah cafe. The food inside the restaurant smelled delicious. However, the place still looks kind of dumpy. It isn't necessarily dirty, but it just looks so casual that there's no wow factor for those people looking for a night out on the town. Then again, that might be because their location is a double-edged sword. It's great for those of you who live in Stafford and feeling like being out with some friends but don't feel like driving south to Fredericksburg or north to Prince William. The hookahs here are actually not bad - they're pretty good. They also just renovated their smoking side and while it's not mind-blowing, it adds for a relaxing atmosphere along with some music. They have a good selection of flavors, mainly Al-Fahker and Starbuzz. Sometimes they have special dj nights I believe. Padrino's is great if you live in Stafford and you're not in the mood to go into town. Padrino's is not bad, however it gets three stars because there's nothing that really makes it shine among the rest. Basic, but still good. read more

Part of being an MSG student is ordering out due to the limited amount of time we have. So, pizza is obviously everyone's favorite delivery food. Well,I decided to try their chicken sandwich...tell me why there was a long course black hair dangling out of my sandwich??! I called them back and demanded my money back. Disgusted, and almost threw up! read more

If you want great pizza, this is the place. It's even just as good reheated. Awesome crust!

I don't know if I can come up with the words to adequately describe how gross this place was. First, it smelled bad. Like smoke/grease/unclean kind of bad. WHAT A DUMP. Then, after ordering, I went to sit down in the room with the pool tables. I had to sit there because the few booths in the front room were full of lunchers. The back room stank of smoke. I had to clean off the table because it was clearly dirty - looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite a while. When I went to get a ketchup dispenser, it was so sticky from what had to be months and months of dirt and ick that I had to go wash my hands. That pretty much caused me to lose my appetite. When the philly cheesesteak finally arrived - I was not impressed. There were these green/yellow translucent things in my sandwich that I guess were fried green peppers? They were tasteless, slimy, and generally gross. The rest of the sandwich was equally unpleasant. I've eaten at other Padrinos so I know what they're capable of. They aren't 5 stars restaurants, but they are good at what they do - EXCEPT FOR THIS PLACE. SAVE YOURSELF - GO HUNGRY OR GO ELSEWHERE. Just not here. read more

Not so food on the steak and cheese. I'm from Philly, so I know what it's supposed to taste like. Pizza is iffy, not horrible but not much better than Papa johns. read more

I grew up in North Jersey, so I consider myself a pizza snob. Rated from worst to best in Stafford - Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Sam's, Tony's and finally Padrino's. Padrino's uses quality cheese and is generous with their toppings. There is no special dipping sauce or wierd oil plastered all over the crust. It is a simple and delicious pizza. My wife and three kids all agree that this is the best pizza in town. Plus, it's cheaper than most of the chains. Give it a shot. read more

We only had pizza but it was good. You can eat in here, but it's nothing fancy. They do a lot of takeout and the people are nice. I think their prices are very reasonable too. read more

I agree with Devin M. & Laura J.in the prveious reviews....... I just ordered a medium stromboli with light pizza sauce (this was my first time ordering from this place - and will be my last!). After waiting for 1 hr. the driver showed up with my food. I opened the box and the stromboli looked so dry on the outside. As I sliced it with the knife it looked awful. It even tasted awful, they even put too much mozzarella cheese inside of it that it leaked so much oil that it made my heart hurt immediately just be looking at all the oil just leaking from it. I was so upset and spent over 22 dollars for this $hit. I hope I don't get sick! I will NEVER order from this place again! Period. EEEEwwwww! read more
