Stanziato's

Food quality / price (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is Mediterranean pizza restaurant. I tried to order their "Vodka Sauce Based" Special Pizza, and was told they don't have that pizza right now because they sold out for the holiday (Labor Day), which didn't make any sense to me because when questioned, the server admitted that all of the ingredients for the Vodka Sauced pizza were indeed available. So I ordered the "Show Me the Honey" pizza with Vodka Sauce, which included everything that would be on the special pizza (except salami in place of the pepperoni which is still also available). I was charged an extra $3.50 for the Vodka sauce instead of them honoring the advertised special. Anyhow, the pizza was very good, except they left an inordinate amount of crust uncovered with sauce, which is kind of stingy. (See photo of leftover crust.). I also had a flight of draught beers that was priced okay at $15, but there was about a one ounce head on top of each 5 oz glass, where at most places the glass is filled to the top. The wife had the Cauliflower Pizza and liked it very much. Overall, it was a fairly average experience.

We go to Stanziatos, 1-2 times a month, and over the last 7-8 years we were always satisfied with the food and the service. That’s until our last visit. I ordered the Bone Marrow appetizer (as I always do) but this time I received only half the portion (one bone with marrow and one bone with no marrow). See the photo below. Initially I assumed it was a mistake, but when I called the manager, she said “We serve the bones randomly, that’s our policy”, and she refused to change the dish. She then took the dish back to the kitchen (and took it off my check). As an ex-owner of two successful restaurants in Manhattan I was totally surprised and disappointed. This is beyond “The customer is always right”, it just doesn’t make any sense. They rather lose a loyal customer than replace the dish. Unbelievable!!!

I hate to do this, but we have really struggled with food quality anytime we get a delivery. We ordered our food at 5:30p and did receive it within an hour. However, we are missing one persons entire order and the side of fries on another order are inedible. The fries - which are normally AMAZING - are rock hard, cold, smell like old grease, and some look rotten. We are so sad, because we love the food and going to the restaurant, but this was just not okay!

We come here yearly with some other families after visiting nearby and they are always great. Big party of kids and adults and everyone had a fantastic experience.
