Review from teen perspective, this is the spot to come for pizza by the slice! Close to downtown / theater square. Good deal with drink and big slices!! This is a spot they frequent. Order at front counter and plenty of seating inside. Very casual vibe. And I like that they have a vegan option (sandwich) which works when we stop in together. read more

Pizza at 7:45 pm should not be skimped! It's your business, your signature food! Don't let employees get lazy. We would've ordered 8 pizzas the following week if that 1st tester was legit. But it was soggy. It had no love. Bummer. We'll go elsewhere next time. Ambiance is a NO for a pizzeria. Sorry! Just being honest. read more

Well, I don't leave this type of review easily, but it's what is needed to wake up this Stefano's location and let other consumers know and from what I saw in a few other reviews, it seems to be a common business practice, unfortunately by this location I'm in the mood for pizza. I've been eating Stefanos's pizza for 15-16 years in Marin but I'm rolling through a Petaluma and I'm like I'm gonna get us Stefanon those half cheese half pepperoni fresh hot pie yummy it's gonna hit the spot. I'm in the mood and love the pizza. So I called at 8:37 and I think I'm gonna call and order a extra large half cheese, half pepperoni pizza for my son and I It'll take me 2 minutes to place the order takes three or four minutes to make the pizza. Throw it in the oven for 7-8 minutes there of I'll roll over be there by eight 5855. Have a hot pie in my hand. be happy another happy Stefanos pizza customer however this location doesn't answer their phone. It goes to a voicemail that says it's full, which says to me as a customer, they don't check the voicemails. Now that part about the voicemails that's between them and themselves, however not answering your phone kind of weird and I think maybe someone's just busy so I call back again. Get the same voicemail. I decided to try to call Novato maybe just enlist some help. I'm thinking they're all connected. They don't answer the phone so I call one further south. A nice guy answered the phone and says that they're all independently owned and operated as franchises. He was an employee not a manager or an owner. I call back to Petaluma. There's still enough time for me to place my order if they answer the phone and value and take care of every customer as a business that says they're open till nine I don't understand not answering the phone to take the customers order to make a pizza that's the business you're in you're in the pizza making business and you've got a customer here that's loyal loves your product and almost all of my reviews are five star reviews advocating for businesses of various sizes and industries because that's what I believe in as a consumer and a customer of any business when it's earned, and there's a lot of great business out there that work hard with their staff and ownership management to to earn a five star review. It's my way of expressing gratitude and sharing how awesome they are with the world so that drives more business. Bottom line However, they're either having a phone line problem, which is possible but probably not like likely given other yelp reviews that I saw about this business practice at the pedal limit location and so I've decided to write a one star review like I said I don't do this easily or take it lightly, but this is horrible business practice if you say you're open till nine operate as a business and be open to take care of your customers as a business. It's very simple concept otherwise why being in business Sarcasm and humorous side I simply wish they would have answered their phone whatever employee they've hired either. Maybe they need some coaching if they're doing this kind of lazy behavior on their own or maybe they've been coached to do this then that's something for leadership and or ownership to take a serious look at and say hey maybe we should be answering the phone and taking orders for carry outs when there's time to make a pizza be different. I called you know five minutes before nine. Hey unfortunately, we've turned off the oven. We close in four minutes you know that would be OK but why have business hours till nine if you're not gonna help customers up to that point I feel like this is fair. It's reasonable to ask of Stefanos's Petaluma and if they have some check collecting lazy Employee potentially which can be the case with any business coach them up tell him to do better and if they don't then let them go get there there's a lot of people out there in the world that we'll work hard and do a top shelf job for the customer based in the business I Super bummed it was really in the mood for a hot Stefanos half cheese, half pepperoni extra large pizza instead taking my business to Domino's and or some other pizza place locally and now I'm writing this negative review so there's that Thanks for reading. I wish I wasn't having to write this review but it's earned Stefanos. You gotta do better. Respectfully read more

Cheap date meal. Check. After listening to live music across the way at Adobe winery, we decided on a quick bite & pizza came to mind. The greasy pepperoni pizza hit the mark. This place is popular and I can see why, most people love pizza and their pizza by the slice brings them in. They had a special that day 2 slices with a soda for less that $7. We weren't ready for a full pizza and making decisions on toppings so we ordered the most readily available pizza. The crust was thin and the sauce was flavorful. I'd like to try their other pizzas and will go back for a whole pizza or just a slice. They have indoor and outdoor seating too, the person behind the counter was helpful too. Don't forget to tip. read more

And I was treated with fantastic hospitality and they gladly took it off our hands. On the day of the party, we continuously ordered pizzas for our tables, which all tasted amazing. Especially the ones with the white sauce, a fantastic time for the whole family. They even let us use their speaker system during the party.

Me and my husband wanted to get something to eat before the movies and we decided this pizza place since it was literally in front of us. I'm glad we got to eat there. The chicken tenders is DELICIOUS and super tender! The pizza was amazingly good as well, I LOVE the crust AND YOU HAVE TO GET THE CHEESY BREAD STICKS. THE CHEESE HIT SO GOOD The lady was also super sweet to us when we got to order and the chef is also amazing! The ambiance of the place was very comfy. The whole place, the food, and the nice people that worked tonight was all stoner approved. (I'm gonna try to get their calzones to try tomorrow!) Edit: this calzone is so cheesy! Making me feel some things. Buy this pls, it's so good. Also yes we got a large pizza of the same slice we got cause it was that good (I also wanted more tenders but husband only let me pick one ;w; ) Super Stoner Approved read more

The fact that I came an hour before closing and they can't serve us anymore is outrageous.

My wife and I ordered a gluten-free pepperoni pizza last night and delivered to Crooked Goat Brewery which is one of our favorite new places in Petaluma. The sauce, cheese, and pepperoni were excellent but the crust was burnt and chewy. Like eating a piece of beef jerky. We called the restaurant and spoke with an employee who told us that is the way it's supposed to be. That pizza has to stay in longer to melt the cheese but that results in the crust being burnt. I was like, Really! We asked to maybe get a credit for another pizza down the road since it was pretty horrible and wanted to give it a second chance and they said "NO". Because we ordered it through the Brewery they can't help us and we need to talk with the manager at the Brewery about any credit etc. It's pretty common now to order food into these pubs so if that is the policy I would suggest you remember this before you order a $37.00 14" pizza from Stefano's or anyone else when delivering in. I honestly don't believe that would be the policy for most establishments but apparently, it is at Stefano's. Have a nice day . read more

This place has the best pizza in town that I've tried. So delicioso that you think you're in Italy! And they got IPA as well as Sierra Nevada, Modelo and Corona on tap! I've been here now three different times before and enjoyed it each time immensely. Ordered by phone for pick up but decided to eat in after all because I could use the company and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Tonight I'm having a small pie with 100% high quality mozzarella, Italian sausage (they also have hot sausage - some like it hot!), salami, double mushroom, red bell pepper, red onion, fresh garlic and tomato which I had them add in the final cook, and "well done" so the salami and sausage crisp up. The crust is a perfect medium thick, chewy, not undercooked like some others, and crispy at the end. Also got a delicious Greek salad - and their balsamic dressing is killer! Not overly sweet nor too acidic. A coke for a little sugar w/ a lift. And... to seal the deal, a home baked look-alike (Woodbine Bakery, out of San Rafael) m and m chocolate chip cookie. Nothing like the m and m cookie to make me a happy camper! And for good measure, I also took home a lemon glazed tea cake which tastes quite a bit like a giant Madeline cookie, with a nice dose of lemon. Ambiance: Great lighting, comfortable seating, even has a couple pizza parlor style booths, giant screen tv playing ball and football. Very clean, and good vibes!

I really want to like this place. But the delivery takes forever. Like 1.5+ hours for a pizza. I stopped ordering awhile back because the pizza would always arrive super late and lukewarm. Then I recently tried again, but still the same problem. They use Door Dash so maybe that adds time? Anyway, I'm going to have to abandon this place again. I have littles and can't always jet out to pick up my pizza. Besides, if you have a delivery service I would think you would want to be competitive here.

The staff at this establishment went above and beyond in being rude, inconsiderate and insulting today to a lunch patron. A family member of mine saw the sign outside advertising a soda and pizza special at a discounted price. When they reached the register, the price was higher than advertised. When pressed for the reason why, the staff responded "That's for the cheese pizza slice only; you were probably driving too fast to read it correctly." Upon reviewing the sign outside together, there was no distinction as to which slices qualified. When confronted about the sign being false advertising, the staff replied "you're a f---- b-----" Naturally my family member left shaken and upset. As my family member is an older woman, I phoned on her behalf to address this situation. I asked to have the contact information for the owner to forward this complaint, the staff responded, "I have the right to not disclose that information." I have never encountered this level of insult and misleading advertisement at any other business in Petaluma. I don't see this restaurant staying open for long. read more

Yesterday--I ordered--picked up a pizza from Stefano's in West Petaluma. Stefanos is relatively new in Petaluma, and we have ordered several times and was pleasantly surprised with the Hawaiian style pizza. The price was right, & the store is only a 5 minute ride from our home. So Yesterday, we ordered a large pizza- with sausage, pineapple, onions, garlic.....We received a pizza that could have used an additional 2-3 minutes in the oven, =not quite done crust, a tablespoon of overcooked sausage, onion skins ( the outer portion ) that were so tough you could hardly chew them--there was no tomato sauce, no cheese--if the pizza comes this way--you would think that the person taking the order would mention this key factor. After all--one would concur that pizza automatically comes with cheese. With so many outstanding pizza houses in Petaluma, I will never consider coming back to Stefanos. Our present society is experiencing cutbacks on almost all consumer products.. Please don't cutback on the toppings of a pizza. read more

I've ordered numerous times over the last couple years and every time there's a problem. Yesterday, 1/1/21, I ordered an XL pepperoni with half artichokes and jalapenos. It arrived only half pepperoni. The previous time was an XL pepperoni, it arrived with no pepperoni, just cheese. And the first of the last three had no tomato sauce. I don't know what's going on there but this is ridiculous. I give up, I wanted to like them because I grew up eating at the San Anselmo location and never had any issues. So I'll stick to pizza restaurants that I don't have to worry about whether my order will be correct. read more

We were greeted and seated pretty quickly. The server got us drinks as soon as we sat down. It was quaint, and clean. Friendly atmosphere. We ordered a large Italian salad to share, and a large combination pizza. The salad was fresh and it was good. I love salad. Our pizza came pretty quickly and was delicious. The crust is thick. I knew it would be. I think I prefer a thin crust. Other than my preference the pizza was delicious from the stuffed crust to the delicious toppings and the sauce was perfect, not too much not too little. Thankyou so much for the awesome lunch and great service.

We had the Italian salad, garlic bread, and a medium deep dish pizza. Everything was super fresh! Salad was great - their blue cheese dressing was killer! Garlic bread was so hot we'd had to wait to divide it - and had enough garlic to keep the vampires at bay. Pizza was incredible and melty cheesy delight! Come hungry! I tub that medium pizza could have fed five! Overall a delight! Do glad we stopped in - I certainly won't wait ten years before coming back!

They serve the first slices - so I couldn't get the "whole pie"

Inside, there was an amazing selection of pastries, salads, and local products. My favorite was the chocolate orange cake, which was moist with a subtle orange flavor. My dad loved the vegetarian croissant, and my mom enjoyed the blueberry croissant. Everything was delicious, though the pastries were a little on the denser side. The real standout for me was the coffee. I ordered a plain iced latte, and it was strong, smooth, and not bitter at all. You can also add vanilla or classic syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Strawberry maritozzi: Of all of the pastries this was actually my last favorite. I felt like the bread was a bit dry and flavorless. The cream was good however and not too sweet like your typical American dessert. I think if they could some how use a different type of bun that isn't as dry, this would be amazing. 2. Caprese Sandwich (wrap): This was incredible. I really liked this sandwich. It was so flavorful and the balance of the pesto and chicken was amazing. Highly recommend. Very large and filling too. 3. Mushroom focaccia: Loved this! Focaccia was fluffy and a very generous amount of mushrooms on top. 4. Passion Fruit pasty: I LOVED this! It reminds me of being in hawaii again and reminded me of the malasalas there however in a pastry dough form. 5. Chocolate pistachio croissant: High quality pasty very fluffy and light with huge amount of chocolate. Overall, I felt like the savory items were incredible and overshadowed the sweet items. The sweet were still good though. Everything was high quality and fairly priced. Only item that I wouldn't get again is the Maritozzi.

Gluten free almond pistachio cake. SO good!

The food here is the main reason I come. The happy hour is great for a little lower costs on a few of their food items. We love ordering some meatballs, a salad, and one of their pizzas. The pizza we had was their Green Goddess and it was delicious! I also ordered their fresh baked sourdough with butter and it's one of the most comforting foods to me. I also got their Seafood Pasta, which reminds me of my East coast, Italian roots. The Italian sausage in the dish works beautifully with the assortment of perfectly cooked seafood and pasta.

I immediately brought it to the staffs attention. They got defensive pushed back said that's how it is. They could remake it, but it's gonna come out the same.??? What the heck.

There was one young employee left to handle the register by himself while a line of customers continued to grow. At the same time, there were several completed orders sitting on the counter waiting to be bagged and handed out. My food sat there for about 10 minutes before I finally walked up and asked for it. What made the situation frustrating was that there were multiple other employees standing at the other end of the restaurant talking and laughing while this one employee was clearly overwhelmed, trying to do the work of two people. It wasn't until I asked about my order that another employee came over to help at the register. This isn't a reflection on the young employee he was doing his best under difficult circumstances. My concern is with the lack of teamwork and support from the rest of the staff. The food is still excellent, but I hope management addresses this so employees aren't left struggling alone and customers receive the service they're expecting.

The bar and the dining room area appeared very modern and clean. Started our meal with the Gochujang glazed cauliflower wings and they were phenomenal! Beneath the deliciously flavored glaze was a crunchy fried cauliflower that maintained its veggie tenderness! The allium dip was a bonus because it elevated the flavor to another dimension. This was definitely one of our favorite items of the night! The Parker rolls were served with a homemade butter and they were light and airy which made them pair nicely with the fresh golden beet salad. They served a very generous portion of lettuce and added all kinds of goodies in it- the burrata, pumpkin seeds , homemade french bread croutons , tomatoe and beets lightly coated with the balsamic dressing - yum! Moving onto the main entrees: the Lamb Rigatoni was served with al dente pasta in a light lemony cream sauce that combined shredded lamb shank with green peas. Was quite tasty and it was a nice change of pace from eating pasta with beef bolognese . The other entree was the Beef Wellington and it was rich ; the filet was cooked perfectly! We enjoyed every bite of this superb dish. Our meal ended with the chocolate mousse and the panna cotta which were equally delicious!

After seeing the menu, my number one choice was the beef Wellington, second choice would have been the Bijou Burger. My SO wanted the Oxtail, but was thinking of an appetizer that would be just right. so the Trout Dip was chosen. This was a half processed fish and half avacado packed into a bowl. Scooping both halves was the best of both worlds. The dip was smooth and great flavors, I would get this again. Then when the entrees came out, and we started eating, half way throught both items were quite heavy and we started to feeling full. The beef Wellington was cooked to a medium consistency, the crust as still firm and mushroom filing great. The oxtail was so tender, it falls off the bone. A different flavoring but fantastic. We ended up taking the oxtail home as it would be diffcult to reheat beef Wellington. No room for dessert. It felt like mostly repeat locals dining here as they chatted with the wait staff a lot, but feel this deserve the hour drive to get here. Parking is avalaible street parking but there is a multi level parking garage near by. After that big meal, we walked around downtown and there was moderate activing and late night dining still going on. I will have to check out other near by areas in the future
