One can see the effect of the economy in my visit to Rancho Steve's Pizza on today - Friday. The store was clean and bright with windows and indoor lighting. I arrived at opening time for the lunch buffet of all you can eat pizza, salad, and drink. There was one medium sized veg pizza offered for the first 10 or so minutes of service. Then a medium pepperoni pizza was added. I was the ONLY person in the dining room so I get that there would not be a variety of pizzas offered. The salad was nice with many fresh toppings to add to the crispy romaine. For my $15, I had 3 slices of pizza from a medium pizza and a nice salad with a drink. That's probably about average for lunch these days. I am just sorry to see that local small business owners are suffering because the economy is pinching EVERYONE's purse and it's getting less affordable to eat out. read more

So our son had his end of the year soccer party here tonight, which started at 5:30. And although we had eaten only a couple of hours before, the rest of our kids would never have forgiven us if we didn't get pizza for them, and some for ourselves, too. So right when the party started, we ordered a large combination pizza, which costed $33. I also added a tip on top of that. Additionally, we ordered drinks as well. When my wife went to fill up her cup, there was a sign on the machine saying that customers had to ask for ice. Weird. So the party went on, and everyone had fun. And in the mean time, we waited...and waited...and waited...and waited for our pizza. We kinda lost track of time at one point, but then realized that our "order 9" table marker had been sitting there for quite a while. At this point, we had waited a full hour for our food. My wife inquired about the whereabouts of our pizza. The employee said that our ticket number had fallen on the floor, so they lost our order. Even still, we were sitting right in front of the register. They called out orders 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, etc. The whole time you didn't notice that the order 9 marker was still out on the table?! So at this point, we just took the pizza to go. Thank God we ate beforehand. The lady gave us a liter of soda for free, which was nice of her, but it still didn't make it right. As for the pizza? It was ok. Nothing special. We could have paid about the same price for better pizza elsewhere. I firmly believe there's really no such thing as bad pizza, but Steve's seemed pretty basic, especially for that price. Go 4 Pizza on sunrise costs about the same, but the pizza is much better. Even still, all the kids had fun, so I guess that's all that really matters. Overall, there's better options in the area. I'd recommend you check them out before settling on Steve's. read more

Awful. Went for the buffet. Showed up there was one pizza that had been sitting out for at least an hour. Had one slices it was bad. I asked if they would bring out more. They said yes. 45 min later they brought out one tiny pizza. I didn't even bother with it since it was a pizza I didn't like. I just left. Never going back. Would give zero stars if possible read more

Spacious and clean restaurant! The service was friendly and quick. Perfect place to host our year end soccer party. The pizzas were good. read more

Only ordered a couple of times. So far happy with the pizza but while waiting grab a beer it is ice cold here! Also plenty of seating and TVs with sports playing. read more

Service was great. Pizza was kinda Meh. Price wasn't the greatest but on par for current economic conditions.

I really hate to do this, however, I feel that the public has a right to know. I went there at lunch time, wanted to order a buffet and there were no pizzas available. It sat that way for about a 1/2 an hour and when they did bring the pizza's out, they only brought two. When another patron asked if they were going to bring any more out, the woman at the counter stated not until all the pizza was eaten for the first two. Lol When the other patron stated that that is not how buffets usually work, the woman at the counter with glasses started to argue with them. I went ahead and ordered something else off the menu, I will admit, the philly cheesesteak did taste pretty good. When I went to go get my drink from the fountain machine, I noticed that there was a sticky trap on the side that had two cockroaches stuck to it. That and that in itself will be the reason why I will never return to this place. I am going to assume that this is family owned and ran, I feel that mabye they should hire an outside firm to help them evaluate on what they could do to make this place more hygienic and more customer service orientated. I give this place a 2 out ot 5 stars. Has potential, but they still have a long way to go until I will ever return there. read more

The pizza here is great, the Garlic Ranch Chicken is a favorite. All the toppings are fresh and the crust is 10/10.

Not impressed, and I got bilked on the price. I ordered 2 x-large pizzas and 30 wings. First of all, the smallest tiny little wings you could ever imagine, smallest I've ever seen anywhere. And at a premium price. Second, 2 x-large pizzas that were WAY overpriced - even with coupon. I called in my order, and was quoted NINETY-SIX BUCKS $96.25 and when my friend got there, the order was supposedly lost. Had to wait and re-order and then somehow the order was $106.34 Two pizzas and 30 minuscule wings with no meat on them. OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!! Never again. BOO!!!! read more

I have tried several pizza places in the area for my office and this place is great for my company. Everyone loves their special pizzas. In general, we order Combo, All Meat and Garlic Chicken. Best one that we love is Jalepeno, Pineapple and Pepperoni. We tried the Mediterranean pizza and we only had one slice eaten. The crust is perfectly cooked, not soggy or burnt when it arrives. Pizzas come in hot and we don't have left overs. We always try different kinds of pizzas. We must try dining in and not delivery sometime soon. read more

Absolutely awful place. My friend and I went here. Ordered a large thin crust with a few toppings. It was $40! Prices like that are insane. I can go to round table and get a much higher quality pizza for that price and it won't be thin crust. Also the staff were not very nice. I came to this place 7 years ago for the lunch buffet. Worst pizza lunch buffet I've ever been to. Between their lunch buffet and the experience my friend had this is a very poor restaurant in my opinion. For the price of their pizza the quality does not match up whatsoever. This is obviously a restaurant that cares Nothing about their customers and just want to milk as much profit out of it as possible. For $40 the pizza was absolutely not worth it. read more

Great pizza spot - we love the lunch buffet! Can't beat the price and lots of options for pizza and salad bar. You can even call ahead to make sure they have vegetarian pizzas. Inside the restaurant is always super clean and the seating has ample space for a big group. Highly recommend!! read more

Been a longtime fan of Steve's Pizza in the Sacramento area so I stopped by this franchise @ 12:45pm ready for a great lunch buffet, which goes from 12-2pm. Unfortunately what I got was a dirty and depleted selection of cold pizza, and an employee who was too busy on a FaceTime call to address it. When I asked if fresh pizza would be coming out she said shortly, so I sat and waited patiently while she continued with her call. 10 minutes goes by and she realizes I'm still waiting for what I paid $14 for, so she gets up with her phone, goes in the back and starts making a pizza. Never washed her hands, and never put down her phone. Back to her table she goes to continue the call. In the end I got a tasteless salad from their bar, old cold pizza, a dirty dinning room, and a employee who had no interest in working that day. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

I was looking for a new pizza place as my regular one (Milan Pizza, on Coloma just off Sunrise) doesn't have cauliflower crusts so I thought to give Steves a try. Pizza was good and I like that they have A cauliflower crust option. The guy that helped me said all pizzas were available in cauliflower crust. But when I ordered he said it's only available in the medium size and I can get that. Business owners can't do it all and make a profit. My issue was with the pricing.... He charged more than the menu board showed. I asked for a receipt, he printed one that just had my total on it, no itemization of the transaction. When I asked him about it he said that Rancho tax just went up. I wasn't satisfied with his answer, so I looked it up. Still not the right price.... When I got my pizza I further pressed him on the subject. His reply then was the menu board hadn't been updated and they company that was suppose to do it hadn't gotten to it yet. I told him that's false advertising. Pretty sketchy business practices.... Stuff like this ends with bankruptcy. With a 12" pizza at $27 I'll stick to my regular place, Milan Pizza. Give Milan a try.... They do Two for One (coupon below) and it's great pizza. Just not in the coveted cauliflower crust. At least they're honest. read more

I was so incredibly disappointed yesterday when my family went for pizza here. We were the only dine-in customers and only one take out customer came in while we were there but we seriously waited about 45 minutes for our order. They forgot my pizza was supposed to be gluten-free which delayed my food about 15 minutes after the rest of the party which I understand but their gluten-free crust there used to be so delicious and it was terrible - a matzo-like cracker thing...so sad! The service was also lousy - my brother-in-law had to approach the counter twice and wait for a few minutes just to get a water cup. It was really a sad experience, I haven't been there in some time but they used to have decently timed service and really delicious pizza. There were at least four staff there so it wasn't as though two guys were trying to juggle our three pizzas and an order of wings. The family members eating the regular crust pizza were happy with the their pizza once they got it and their wings were good which is why I'm giving two stars. read more

Hands down the best pizza spot in Northern California!!! I'm a huge pizza lover of any kind. They're dough just melts in your mouth and there pizzas are freshly made on the spot. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

PIZZA! Good pizza. Just moved into the area a week ago and while I have a vast number of local places to chose or a meal, I have been here twice already. Plenty of indoor seating for when that is available again (covid-19 times don't allow it right now) but good to know. Indoors is roomy for physical distancing if one is waiting for their order. Some tables outside are available. Most people seems to take out which is not uncommon for a pizza place anyway. Ordered a three topping pizza (sausage, Canadian bacon, and mushroom) and cheesy bread. The pizza was warm, fresh, as ordered, and best of all very tasty. both times. The cheesy bread is only $7.99 for a huge pizza sized (the only size choice I saw). Too big for a single person with little to know impulse control for wonderful things of the cheesy bread variety. ;-) While it is good, it could be more buttery and garlicky. Both of my interactions with the staff were positive. One was an online order through Yelp that went to Slices app interface. Easy to use and quick to conclude my order. The second order was via phone. The person didn't rush me which I appreciated Sometime on the phone orders, one can be made to feel secondary to in-person orders. So local, good pizza, friend experience. All in all, thumbs up for sure. read more

I never usually leave reviews but let me tell you. Ordered a medium Hawiian pizza, everything was perfect from the sauce, dough, ham & pineapple. Everything tasted fresh and just PERFECT. It's a rare find to have pizza ingredients all hit. Wish i got a pic but it smelled too good to wait read more

It seems like they've undergone new management. Prices increased a good amount. Good pizza but not that great to pay + $30 for a single topping pizza. I miss the old manager and customer service. The taste of the pizza has changed since new management. I have been going for years here but I'll be looking for a new pizza place. read more

Absolutely delicious. I am a fan of Steve's Pizza because of their customer service, portions, and their different combinations. Recommend 10/10 read more

Be careful! They no longer honor the DISPLAYED all you can eat buffet price of $12.99. Instead, they charge $15.49, but it comes with a soda (which may or may not be something you want). Oh, and the pizza is on par with frozen pizza quality. Just letting you know... read more

Absolutely pissed!!!! Ordered a large Steve's, and Buffalo Wings. Toppings were minimal, maybe portion control due to rising costs of food these days. Now the damn wings! I'm driving home and kept smelling a burnt smell. Low and behold, the wings!! It's like they had been made beforehand, then dropped again to heat through, then thrown in the sauce. My first bite blew out my palate. Burnt, overdone, dry as all get out!! Had I not lived as far away as I did I would've went back to the store and demanded my $43 and change. Never again! Hella pissed! Oh, and check your order before you leave like I should have! Steve's Pizza donated 1000 pizza's since Covid? Kudos to the owners for doing so,...but YOU don't get that accolade. I clearly stated portion control because of rising food costs. As a Manager you think I should find the facts instead of being a Yelp superstar? Ok, facts. You're a poor "manager" that lacks customer service skills. Fact, instead of resolution because of my complaint, you attempted to negate and belittle me via private message because you took personal offense to my review. Fact, well cooked wings don't meant burnt, dried out, and covered in sauce to hide they were overcooked. Fact, I drive 32 minutes to get there, 32 minutes home by which time you are closed, but I accept my responsibility that I should have checked my order before I left. Fact, just because you don't like what I said, use it as a teaching moment for the people preparing food. It's a luxury to eat out at the higher cost associated with food. Fact, don't come for me unless I call for you! read more

Rancho Steve's Pizza - Private message from Manager Maryam - Pizza Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

It's not bad pizza! I had a date take me here the other night and while I actually disagree with pizza on a first date, i agree that it wasn't comparable to dominos. This is a very simple pizza place in Rancho Cordova. It's the kind of pizza that you would order for lunch or go to with your coworkers! They do have a salad bar and some different options for pizza and they serve beer here as well. They weren't shut down at 7pm like the other places around the area. The staff here is actually pretty nice. I went up and ordered my pizza and we asked questions, they were more then willing to answer them. The place is actually bright and cheerful. There are no booths, just basic tables! I think of this as a great place to go after a winning softball game at your child's school! read more

First time having Steve's pizza and I'm impressed! It's hot, didn't feel like cooking so we ordered pizza on a hot 100+ degrees day. Pizza came on time and they definitely didn't skimp on the toppings! We had the Armenian pizza, personal pep pizza and bbq chicken wings. Wings were saucy and the toppings were plentiful on the pizza. Would order again over other pizza delivery places in the area. read more

Ordered a calzone with pineapple, ham, and extra cheese....best calzone I've ever had. They melt cheese on top, so when they serve it, it looks like a stuffed pizza. SO GOOD!

My first time in this place and we came for the pizza buffet. There were 2 pizza out neither of which looked fresh. The cheesey bread looked okay. I opted for the salad bar instead, it looked better. My coworker ended up having to ask for more pizzas, more salad for the salad bar. They just seemed very unprepared for a buffet. After we had eaten we noticed that the Parmesan cheese in the containers were moldy and looked old. I'm concerned I might get sick but hoping not, just an overall concerning situation. Doesn't seem like a place that really cares about health and cleanliness. We won't be returning. read more

The Armenian was suggest to me, I ordered it and thought it was very good. I was warned it was packing heat and heat it had.

Looking forward to going back and trying out more of the expansive menu.Combo Pizza read more

Their pizza isn't the cheapest in price but they sure do make up for it in quality and taste! If you live in the area, be sure to take advantage of those coupons that come in the mail they're super helpful ! I've came here to buy pizzas for guests and friends since I'm not too familiar with what pizza places are in the area. Don't say little Caesars either because cardboard and pizza are two completely different things. So far, I've only bought and tried their combination pizzas which are very yummy!its filled with lots of toppings, flavor, and thick crust . I recommend this place and keep coming back :) read more
