Pizza was sub-par. There's virtually no sauce on it and it was completely covered in grease. The interior pieces were so soggy and greasy they were tough to hold. Service was really good. All the staff seemed friendly and polite. read more

No disappointment here - The place is huge with plenty of room for everyone. We ordered cheese curds (when in Wisconsin, right?), buffalo wings, and the buffalo mac & cheese pizza. The cheese curds could've been a little better but were still solid. However, the wings and pizza were absolutely phenomenal. The pizza especially rocked. It was cheesy, spicy, and had an incredible crust. I also loved the use of popcorn chicken instead of grilled chicken for a seriously great crunch. Service was friendly if not the quickest, but it was a busy lunch service so no ticks there. I could see parking not being the easiest here when it's busy, so just prepare for a very short walk. Hope to visit again soon! read more

The calzones at Steve's are amazing. We love the pizza too, but discovering the calzones has made it difficult to decide. It's a fun atmosphere and we've always found the staff to be friendly and fast. My whole family is a big fan of Steve's when we are visiting Platteville. read more

We don't go here every time we're in town, but almost. Tonight was Spring break for the university, so I've never seen Steve's so quiet on a Friday night. Service was good as always. Food came out quickly as one would expect on a slow night. I had the gyro for the first time which was quite good. My son had the Philly and cheese curds which he liked. Previously I've had pizza and/or wings and have never been disappointed! read more

STAY AWAY!!! We spent the night across the street at a Holiday Inn Express and thought we'd carry out a pizza from a convenient location. Huge mistake! The "house pizza" was so greasy that the bottom of the cardboard box was drenched in grease. Most of the pizza ended in the garbage can. I am normally not a fussy eater, but this thing was inedible! read more

I have such fond memories of this place as a kid. I show up in town 23 years later and not only has the location changed, but it's now bigger and it's two stories! The server was great. She was fun and made sure our glasses were never empty. The taco pizza came out and was delicious. Next time I make it to town I will definitely stop by again! read more

Steve's Pizza Palace - Taco pizza - large - Pizza Near Me - Platteville, Wisconsin

Usually menu is good. Make sure to pass on the penne pasta though. For $13.00 and an extra $5.00 for shrimp to be included, received a shallow bowl of pasta with basil pesto and the tiniest shrimp ever seen, maybe five tiny shrimp in all. Defiantly not worth the money. Cheaper to make at home. Stick with their pizza. And the gyro salad is always good. Disappointing meal this time though. read more

Steve's Pizza Palace was a unique experience! When we first walked in we thought we were in the wrong place because it looks like an Irish Pub in the front. We got Greek fries and a cauliflower crust pizza and it was delicious! Plenty of options for all types of dietary needs. read more

I attended UWP in the 90's and at that time Steve's Pizza Palace was the must stop location on the walk from the downtown bars back to the dorms. If Yelp would have been a thing back at that time my review most definitely would have been 5+ stars. I mean c'mon pizza and calzones after a night of imbibing. I had the chance to return to Steve's last night for the first time in 24 years. The location remains the same, but Steve's certainly has expanded over the years. Within the expansion and remodeling I could still feel a little of the old place I used to know. From my college going days I don't recall a calzone costing $17. I guess that's a lot of years of inflation. I also didn't recall a 12" one topping pizza costing $16.50. How's today's college student expected to survive? My wife had a calzone and she said it was good. Steve's does have a late night (after 9) $6 special for an 8" one topping pizza that's now normally $12. I went with two of those over the 12". The good was that Steve's pizza sausage was as awesome as I remembered it to be. The not so good was that I was lucky to get one piece of sausage with each slice. I hope the skimpy topping was based on the late night happy hour special because I would have been sorely disappointed if I paid menu price for the same pizza. Steve's holds old memories for me. It was nice to be able to visit with my wife. Hopefully it won't be another 24 years before I return. read more

Located in a old historic building. Great Gyro, Curds, n wings. Fast friendly service. They had Pseudo Sue on tap!

Good pizza. Very flavorful, good toppings, good service (this was pre covid). My issue is the pizza was a little wet, and the crust was not super crisp, which is my preference. However, that is my preference, and it may not be yours. So overall a four star rating, while for me personally probably closer to 3.5. I still will go back - it is very tasty. read more

Platteville , known for farming, a school for engineers and a big M on the side of the hill , almost as famous is Steve's Pizza Palace, the pirate theme pizza place with a pirate ship seating area in the back. The sandwiches , are pretty good , I had a Philly cheese steak that was decent but didn't scream Philadelphia, the bread would of been great on a Cuban sandwich ( for the future , think of me ). The pizza was excellent , nice thinner crust with lightly crispy edges and stuff that has a sense of humor. I've been there a couple times now and will be back again ! Need to try all the pizzas ! read more

Wow. What a cute apparently iconic place in the adorable town of Platteville. Reminded me of mine back from my own college days. We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express there, a WONDERFUL hotel, btw, and its a one minute walk tops. We had their normal thin crust build your own three topping 16" pie for $26 but it was worth it. Plus it covered our lunch then the next day so not so expensive. Thin Crispy bottom with crunchy and airy outside crust. Just the right amount of sauce. Only thing that could make it better is a buttery garlic covering on the crust. Ok and a little more generous on the toppings, considering the price. Steve's Brewery is coming next door it looks like in another old historic building. Wonderful drinks and fast service on a Wednesday night. Huge place but still manages to be warm and inviting at the same time. We followed the reviews and had the homemade sausage even tho I'm not a lover of sausage. It was wonderful. If you love crunchy thin pizza not covered in sloppy sauce, go to Steve's! They do have a thick crust there too. Any place that has a drive up window in back for carry out pizzas knows what they're doing! read more

Really great pizza. Big spaces for large groups which is nice. Great service. Will go again!

Very good pizza and wings. Convenient walk from anywhere downtown, including the Holiday Inn. Service seems pretty good. read more

Ordered two pizzas tonight from Steve's Pizza in Platteville. Lettuce was brown and nasty. Called Andrew, the so called manager and advised him of the condition of the lettuce. He thanked me for the call and couldn't get me off the phone fast enough. Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Unos would be a better choice if you are looking for a pizza place in Platteville. read more

Amazing GF pizza crust. Some of the best I've ever had! Better than anything in Los Angeles!

Highly disappointed with Steve's Pizza. When we entered we were told to go upstairs although there were tables available in the main dining. Went upstairs, was not greeted by, all the tables were filthy as well as the floor. Sat at the least dirty table and still not one greeted us or even acknowledged we were there. Then someone sat a couple at another table brought them menus and asked if they wanted anything to drink. If you want bad service and a filthy environment Steve's the place. read more

My dad went to UW-Platteville in the late 60s and early 70s, and he remembered how much everyone loved Steve's, so we decided to check it out now on our way through town. The place is huge, and our server was nice. Skip the appetizers/salads and go right to the pizza because it's delicious! My mom was slightly disappointed in the chapters salad. We got a 16" thin crust pizza, and the crust was our favorite part. It was soft, yet firm. I wouldn't say it was super crispy though if that's your thing. I got spinach and tomato on my half, and my parents got sausage, green olive, and mushroom. The toppings were a bit lacking, especially the green olives, per my parents. Each piece of pizza had about one piece of whatever topping you got. The pizza was addicting though, and my entire family remarked that we just couldn't stop eating it! We left satisfied and would stop here again when in Platteville. read more

Steve's Pizza Palace - 16" BYO - Pizza Near Me - Platteville, Wisconsin

The absolute perfect college town pizza bar and etc. We got cheese curds, caprese salad, and Steve's special (sausage peppers and onions) best sausage I've had on a pizza. It wasn't overly fennely. Cheese was awesome made a perfect union with the sauce and the crust was thin and crispy perfectly seasoned! The cheese curds were also great! Knocked those out in 5 min. Crispy and light breading hot outta the fryer. The caprese salad was a cool fresh break from the hot meatiness of cheese curds and pizza. Service was efficient and the people were very nice. Stayed late past closing time so us and a few others could wrap up our dinner. Very please with all aspects of this place. And it's skipping distance from the holiday inn. Will be back for more! read more

Foods good, but the service sucks. Horribly understaffed. Drinks took forever to get. Wrong food delivered. waitress fails to anticipate customers drink needs. Waitress had brought the wrong food out to us. Left without telling customer of status of food. Came back twenty minutes later to tell us it would be another twenty minutes. Lack of management staff seen or presence seen. Management never came over to apologize for the delay. THE FOODS GOOD, BUT SERVICE NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. I've experienced the service issues over several times. read more

This is the best pizza anywhere. I grew up eating here...moved away for 30 years...came back to visit relatives and it's still just as delicious. Great food, great service. Have not been inside the new (10 years!) location, just used the drive up window, but it looks spacious and nice inside. I always loved the little location in the middle of Main Street, but I'm sure it's too small these days. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch just passing through town. We had the house pizza, which was very good. Crust was thin and crispy. Sauce was just right along with ample cheese. Menu said it had home made sausage and beef but did not list pepperoni. It did in fact have very tasty sausage but no beef that we could see or taste. Although, it did have pepperoni. Only complaint about the pizza itself, was that we thought it should have had more veggies. But, that may just be our preference. The establishment has a small bar in front along with dining tables. I believe the back of it has much more seating. Booth was comfortable and staff was friendly. read more

We came back for a regular pizza. It's a cracker crust pizza, and that's just really not my cup of tea. The sauce could have been much better flavored. I think we will stick to the cheeza in the future. read more

One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. Will happily drive 20 min from Dubuque for this!

I have given this restaurant so many chances to not make me regret deciding to eat here. I'm so sick of being let down. I will not be giving them another chance. However if you ever want to see their $9 calzone( they charge $24 dollars for) and want to be charged $4 for a ramekin of dipping sauce, please go here. They seam to have taken a 6 in pizza and fold it in half. I hate this place. read more

Decor: pub style  Sercice: 5 stars  Food: 3.5 stars I can't write this review without first commenting on the town itself. I was in town speaking at an event and relied on Yelp as always for food choices.  Platteville is a neat little college town, and downtown itself is very clean, quiet, and just feels like a perfect little town in the heartland.  The mixed reviews almost kept me from coming here but I took the risk because there were both good and bad reviews to balance things out.  Glad I did.  Service was super. The lady was genuinely friendly and fielded my menu questions with grace. Food came out in a reasonable time. No problems whatever. Very clean and well kept resturant. Huge high backed booths and granite tables. Perhaps some of the bad reviews were likened to people who unfortunately just got bad waiters.  I went on a Friday night in the summer and it was very quiet. I'm guessing that during the fall and spring when college is going on that this place is hopping! Summer visit was quiet and relaxing for me.  Pizza was good. No complaints there at all. read more

Better than I expected. We ordered delivery to our hotel room and it was good and hot without being soggy like many others.

Great place with tasty, unique pizza as well as lots of other kinds of food! New to Platteville? It's a place you have to go!

Thete isnt any sauce on the actual pizza, the crust is super thin, they dont let you have more than 1 topping on a 12 dollar pizza..... I'm completely disappointed. Maybe you get sauce if you get a $ 30 dollar pizza. I dont know, I'm not paying $30 for a pizza. It tastes not near as good as it did in the 80s when it had all kinds of cheese, toppings, and pizza sauce and the best crust. What happened? read more

Delicious pizza in a fun environment. Love the area with the ship, such cool ambiance. Convenient walk from campus. I enjoyed the pizza at Steve's when I was in college, and continue to enjoy it when I come back to town to visit. read more

Excellent taco pizza! Also happy hour specials were a nice surprise on a Sunday evening. Loved the onion rings and aolai sauce! read more

Everything was great! My kids and I enjoyed an early dinner, dining Upstairs. I had never been up there before and it was a pleasant surprise to be sat up there. Being a server myself, I thought it was cool that each floor took turns being sat, allowing everyone working to be able to make money. Ashton was our server and he did awesome! My only suggestion would be to offer a side salad option. Either Ala cart and/or as a side with an up-charge. I wanted to order one, but didn't see it on the menu. My kid wanted salad as his side and was told they were out of what comes with the kids meal, so I didn't bother asking about a side salad. I heard the next table that came in ask if there was a side salad and they were told no, only full salads, but they are great for sharing. They did order a full salad to share, but each wanted different salads, having to settle on a full one together. The next table of 4 that was sat also asked if side salads were available. They also ended up getting a full salad to share among the 4 of them. Being in the industry myself, I felt for the server having to explain every time that they only offer full salads and then wait there while everyone discussed if they wanted to share a salad and what one they wanted to share. read more

Lots of choices of pizzas. Two persons shared a medium (12") Carnivore pizza and enjoyed it. Convenient location across street of Holiday Inn. Lots of people took dinner or had some drinks even quite late on Saturday. read more

The six star restaurant Is the tops! Everything from the phone call at the beginning of my order was excellent. The associate on the other end of the phone was nothing but helpful in getting my order placed, even though I was placing a difficult order. Food showed up promptly for what we ordered. When we open the boxes we got what we wanted and then some. Delicious Homemade taste. Also a very friendly delivery guy. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow... read more

We stopped for a pizza, asked for it to be crispy, it was anything but...... it was a nice option however we could mix different toppings on the same pie. The wine glasses reminded me of something my Grandmother would have used 1 time a year. The service I will say was excellent. read more

I am new to town and decided to try Steve's pizza. I tried a thin crust pepperoni pizza which cost me about 12.50. I was shocked when the pizza arrived. It was so small and bland looking. The pepperoni was cooked under the cheese and lacked flavor and texture. All the pepperoni did was make it hard to bite the pizza without pulling out the other half of the pepperoni. The crust was shameful. It was as dry as a desert. It reminded me of the jewish matzo crackers (in both texture and taste). I didn't get much flavor from the cheese or sauce. No joke, I get much better 6$ frozen pizzas from walmart. 12.50 is way too much for this quality of pizza. My lady server did a good job and the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was fine. The quality of the pizza from this pizza restaurant left so much to be desired that I will not be returning to try other food. read more

Great pizza!! Live the BLT!! Classic pizza place in Platteville!! Great atmosphere!!

If you're from Platteville, this is a weekend staple. I love the BLT pizza! Their thin crust is just okay, but I'm in the minority on that one. I will caution you against this though -- if you take a large group there, you will probably have to send someone from your party to fetch more drinks. We recently took a group of 17. That was way too big for a Friday night. We were sent upstairs where the waitress could only come back twice. Groups under 8 work better for the staff. read more
