Stefanina’s Pizzeria

I’ve been here 3 – 4 times, usually dine in. Normally, we just get a pie and a pitcher. The pie is good and the beer, of course… Today, we ordered take away, spaghetti and meatballs and an order of cheese garlic bread. I was surprised at how under seasoned the meatballs were, if there were any seasonings at all. They were like ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ meat/​filler and very bland. The sauce was just so-​so, heavy on the tomato paste. Both my husband and I were disappointed. Maybe they were just having a bad day…

This was my first visit. I had carefully read many of the Unilocal reviews. We came on a Saturday night and the parking lot was PACKED. «Good sign», I thought. Our wait was only 20 minutes and we spent that time in the bar which wasn’t crowded.
Now to the important stuff — the food was great. There were 5 in our party. We ordered salads, cheese garlic bread, toasted ravioli, Taco Pizza (I’m including a picture), Canadian bacon & pineapple pizza and baked manicotti. To put it simply, everything was delicious. Our service was fast and courteous. Water glasses were always kept full and our waitress made sure we had everything we needed.
The icing on the cake was how reasonable the prices were. I guess any restaurant can have its off days (per some of the not so stellar reviews) but my first impression was a stellar one.

The staff was very friendly and nice. We wanted some Italian food and they definitely had it. The pizza was good. The garlic bread good. The fettuccine could have used more garlic as well as the shell florentine. Otherwise it was good.

There is something to be said about a place that sticks around. Stephanie’s is one of the best pizza places if you love thin crust pizza. Their toppings are not fake and are homemade and delicious. I cannot get enough of their pizza.

This used to be my family’s favorite pizza place in town. Good pizza but when ordering the wings watch out they often come undercooked. The last time we ordered wings they were raw and we had to grill them ourselves at home. We were told the next time we called we would receive a credit but upon calling the management would not honor this credit, in fact the manager said we can’t just give away free food. As a customer we felt wronged And we recommend thinking twice about ordering from this company that puts the bottom line before customers satisfaction.

My favorite Italian food and I love provel on the pizza and the other Italian food is delicious and the sandwiches and soup is also delicious best place for the price.

Great St. Louis style pizza. They understand that residual flour on the bottom of the crust closes the deal. I do hamburger and double bacon– yum!
Get the mammoth x-​large (20 inches) and save some for breakfast. Its just as good straight out of the fridge. Yes, cold.
Cannelloni bites and sauce are pretty special. Fried cauliflower with butter and cheese will make you smile.
Friendly staff and great value.
Giddy up!

The problem with Stef’s is they lack consistency. Last weeks order was fabulous. This weeks order bland and substantially less food. By the way it was the exact same order and both were ordered at a non peek time of day. If they were consistently good they would be five stars for sure, but not everyone has pride in what they do and it shows.

We are out of towers and Unilocaled a restaurant to feed our large family for dinner. We were NOT disappointed! Best food I ever had and awesome service. Great for families. Would go out of my way to stop again.

Went under impression that it’s an Italian restaurant. Made the mistake as told later for not just ordering pizza, and ordered very poor pasta. Believe it or not. not everyone goes out to a restaurant to order pizza.

I am always so quick to leave positive feedback for this place. The pizza is 2^nd to NONE and the service matches the quality of food. We had Hannah once again tonight as our server and just when you think she cant get any better, she exceeds our expectations! You want a great experience? Order a large Stef’s Special and ask for Hannah as your server. Til next time Hannah, keep up the fantastic work!

I wish I liked this place because I heard it was a local favorite when visiting family in MO. Their odd cheese, they call provel, on their pizza kept sticking to the roof of my mouth. The experience was unfortunately mediocre minus, with a heavy sigh.

Stefs is a hometown favorite. The house salad is delish. Any pasta with cream sauce is also good. The pizza is good, thin St. Louis crust with provel. Go for those things. Pretty much evetything else is just okay.

It has been a long time since I last had Stefanina’s pizza… maybe 5 years. This place is a local favorite, and a staple establishment in the heart of O’Fallon…Been here for decades.
I decided I wanted to order a pizza and egg plant parmegiano, because I could have swore this had good pizza all them years back. I look at the pictures of all the pies loaded with mounds of toppings, and it reminded me of all the good times of back when.
All I wanted to do was order for delivery. This place says it delivers so no problem right? Wrong.
I called, and called, and called. Several times within an hour. I was doing tasks here and there between calls, but I was very persistent. I just wanted some damn Stefanina’s pizza. The phone never rang, beeped, to tell it was busy, nothing.
Being crazy for this place for some reason. I decided… Hell…I’ll drive up there and order in person for take out… yea I was nuts that day.
I get up there and the place is Slammin’. Jam packed with people, and people in line to pick up their take out. I see the cooks in the back crankin’ out pies and pastas, and the cashiers ring out customers, placing orders, and taking calls… taking calls?!
Up next. Bust out my phone and interrogate. «I’ve been calling for the past hour, is this the right number?»…Her response «Yes». I cry my pains. All she could say is we’re busy. Fine. No big deal. Understandable. Their phone ordering system absolutely sucks. I’m here, I wanted it that bad, I’m ordering.
On to the food. The eggplant parmigiano, although toppled with red sauce and provel… it left nothing to be desired for. Over cooked, soggy, and overpriced. The side salad underwhelming with just lettuce and provel… just lettuce and provel… not even red onion or olives? The vegetable medley was steamed just right though. The colors were bright, not over cooked, and had the right crunchy bite.
The pizza. Ordered my favorite simple two topping pie… pepperoni and tomato.
I felt deceived. Is this crust pre-​made frozen crust? The kind from U.S. Foods? Canned diced tomatoes? Not fresh?
Not cool… definitely had better… even by CWP standards… I ordered from them later on and they had… you wouldn’t believe it… fresh diced tomatoes as their toppings…
It may be another few years before I try again…

This place is awesome and reasonable for good Italian food. I consistently get the Taste of Italy dish with cream sauce. It’s so good. It’s creamy and delicious. The flavors are delicious. I just love eating it. This past time, I ordered the seafood ravioli and that was super delicious. The meat was lobster and was seasoned well. I might order that again. The pizza is good too. There isn’t a lot of sauce on the pizza, but there is a lot of toppings on the pizza. The pizza crust is also crispy, which is just the way I like it.
I would definitely come back again and again.

Really, just a glorified Fazolis but triple the price. The pizza crust is dry, the sauce minimal and the cheese rubbery. I got the baked spaghetti and the pasta was definitely boxed. My husband got the tutto mare and the white sauce just tasted of butter and basil. He likes mixed sauce and got the red on the side and said it tasted canned. The seafood was also frozen and cooked with the white sauce and made it taste rubbery, as well.

The pizza was really good. The cheese that they used was very fresh and delicious. I really liked the thin tasty crust. It was nice and crunchy on the edges. The cheese balls and cauliflower was also amazing. Very good prices too.

I like a thin pizza, this does it. Nothing over the top, but quite tasty. The Provell thing is a new twist. Good service. I will be back.

If you are a fan of the neighborhood, family Italian restaurant (north county Cusamano’s) LOVE THE PIZZA AND SALADS.

I love this restaurant. It’s my favorite restaurant in the world. I would have it for my last meal.
It’s the best St. Louis style pizza. It isn’t paper-​thin like Imo’s– the crust is nice and soft. I don’t know what kind of sauce they use, but combined with the cheese, it’s heavenly.
I have been patronizing this restaurant at its various locations for twenty years. It has been my favorite place since my first visit when I was six and met Stefanina, who always greeted me and invited me back to make my pizza. I’ve probably eaten 100 pizzas. I have never had even a slight issue with the quality of food or service.
