Stevie's Pizza 2 Peoria

After a day of desert riding we decided to look for a nearby pizza place we’d never been and found Stevie’s. The options in Vistancia are limited and this is the only pizza you’ll find. The reviews here seem to vary. I try to look at the worst rated and see why and who is rating. While some are obviously valid with service being rude or wait times I also see reviews coming from people with only one or two reviews ever and only negative. I don’t tend to take those seriously and want to give a place a fair shot. While I did see some of what the negative reviewers talked about our experience was pretty good. Let’s start with the positives though because who wants to lead with the bad. While the parking lot was busy it was easily accessible and we were able to find parking even with our trailer and bikes. There is a grocery story nearby as well as coffee and other businesses. When we walked in we were greeted and given a minute to look over the menu. Options are pretty good and they also serve beer on tap. The location is small, but hold quite a few booths and tables. There are a few outside tables as well. It was quite busy and people coming and going with pick up orders and such. We decided on a large pepperoni, garlic knots and hot wings. They have both large and small pints and the glass was chilled which is a definite bonus point. The boy running the register was pleasant enough and explained it would be about 40 minutes or so for our pizza. We hoped it wouldn’t take that long, but again it was busy. While waiting we heard the employee on the phone sounding like they were turning some customers away because the cook was getting overwhelmed. We were pleased to get our garlic knots and wings quickly. The wings were steaming and looked amazing. They are not baked which I love and not over sauced either. They were crispy and good sized wings with lots of meat. The garlic knots were good as well. Our pizza soon followed at about 30 minutes and the appetizers held us over so it was no big deal. The pizza had good flavor, my son was happy with the amount of pepperoni and crust was a bit crispy and not soggy which I liked. So on to the negative. I heard a little attitude from the counter employee when people picking up orders came in at their told pick up time to food not being ready. There’s nothing to argue if you told someone good would be ready and it’s not just apologize and thank them for their patience don’t argue minutes. For us we had a pretty good experience. We enjoyed our food and service for us was ok. As I said I can see why some find customer service rude, wait times long and such. Just remember that this is a local owned business, it can get overwhelmed as it’s a very busy spot. Have some patience and kindness. If you’re looking for a big chain type place this may not be for you.

Always good pizza & wings, way better than Barros & they deliver, ordered the cheese pizza, added pepperoni 🍕 & 20 wings special, plus Zeppoli.
