This time ordered the lasagna which comes with garlic bread (which doesn't taste like garlic at all, but mops up the sauce like bread should) and a small Caesar or side salad.

I saw an elderly couple who had to clean their own table because no one was cleaning tables and no one came around to clean their table. After receiving our drinks we did not see our waiter again for another 20 minutes or more. This is ridiculous. We are now here over an hour and 15mins and still do not have our pizza. About to pay for our drinks and leave. Finally 1hr and 30 minutes later i go up the bar and very loudly ask the man who had not been back to our table since he brought us our drinks.... Would we be getting the pizza we ordered today or not? He went to the back to check and a couple minutes layer we did get our pizza. Will not be back until i hear some rave reviews because this is unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. Oh and the kicker here the man who waited on us, his pants were split wide open in the leg and crotch area!! You could not see anything but wtf!!! This is what you have waiting on people????

Lately, though, the last few pizzas have been noticeably lacking. Toppings are sparse, unevenly distributed, and some slices feel like they barely qualify as anything beyond cheese and crust. The flavor is still there, and the crust is consistently good--but that's not really the point when you're paying for a premium, fully-loaded pizza. It just doesn't hit the same when you're hunting for toppings that used to be a given.

The pizza notably smelled rancid when we opened the box so I'm struggling to understand how this was missed (seems more likely that they just didn't care). We've never had a good experience at this location and we won't be back to try a third time. Store is dirty, food is always disappointing, but this is totally unacceptable and disgusting. I'd recommend making the drive to the GH location where we've never had a bad time or meal. Shame on this location.

I have come in to Tessio a few times now, and each time has been better and better. The pizza menu is great, the options are creative without being snobby. I'll admit i made a couple of changes to one pizza purely out of personal taste and the cook chimed in with a suggestion of his own and it turned out to be great. The whiskey list is extensive with out being overwhelming, there is something there for any taste. The bartender was knowledgeable and even stirred my Manhattan instead of shaking it (proof that he knows his stuff). We sat at the bar and had a great conversations with both the gentleman bartender and the owner. Tessio is the best place for a cocktail and pizza in Silverdale. read more

When booking, I specifically explained that I did not want our group seated in the back of the restaurant. The employee helping us was very kind and offered us the patio instead, which we happily agreed to. Unfortunately, the evening before the event, the manager called and canceled the patio reservation, moving us to the back section instead. What made the situation frustrating was not just the last-minute change, but the lack of professionalism in handling it. There was no apology offered despite the reservation already being confirmed. Her communication felt dismissive and confrontational. But she eventually agreed to atleast seat us towards the center or the restaraunt. We were also told the patio was unavailable because of a separate event, yet on that day, the patio still had several open tables during our reservation time. The food here is good. But communication, professionalism, and customer service was signifanctly lacking. Had there been clearer communication, accountability, or even a simple apology somewhere in this process, the experience would have felt very different.

San’s Pizza

(41 reviews)

2 stars, and I'm being generous…read more I came in with a friend and my toddler around 3:15 on a Saturday afternoon. We left at 4:45. There were maybe three other tables in the entire place. We started with the arancini, advertised as house-made risotto. The breading was too uniform and too thick to be house made by anyone who's actually made arancini. The center wasn't warm. The risotto inside was dry. The marinara was cold. I've had good arancini. This wasn't it. We ordered a medium pizza -- pepperoni and mushroom on half -- and waited. And waited. At some point our server came out to tell us the pizza had to be remade. I had a hungry, increasingly cranky toddler being held together with graham crackers. By the time the pizza finally arrived, he was done. The pizza itself: the pepperoni is listed as Liguria and it did cup, so I'll give it that. But the top of the pizza was swimming in oil -- more than pepperoni alone accounts for -- which suggests the cheese isn't doing any favors. The sauce and crust were genuinely good. I didn't hate the pizza. But the service? I've waited tables. I know how it works. I watch things. When we declined to order alcohol, our server's smile dropped noticeably. After that, he checked on us far less than the other tables -- and there were only three of them. We ran out of water. The manager came by, noticed our empty carafe, and filled it himself. That told me everything. The pizza had barely landed on the table before our server reappeared with his ordering device, Cheshire grin in full effect, check already sliding toward us. I told him I wasn't done yet when he asked about a box. His response? "Just want to make sure you're taken care of." That's a strange thing for an attentive server to say. A good server would have walked away and come back. He hovered. When we were actually ready to leave, there was no one to flag down -- my friend had to go find the server and the owner, who were hanging out together in the back, just to get a box. Two women with a toddler, mid-afternoon, three other tables in the restaurant, and we couldn't get water refilled or basic attention -- but we could get the check shoved at us before I finished eating. The crust and sauce have potential. Everything else needs serious work. One more thing worth noting: Google sits at 4.8 stars while Yelp comes in at 3.8 with a pattern of reviews that either love it or hate it. A full star gap between platforms is a meaningful discrepancy. Google reviews are anonymous and anyone can leave them -- draw your own conclusions. The Yelp split tracks with my experience. Your mileage may vary, but mine did not.
