Value (3.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 14% of the guests
Looking at the value, it seems theres one bright spot: the convenience of a free parking lot. This is a nice perk, especially when considering the overall sentiment. With only 1 positive comment out of 8 total, its a small but appreciated detail, highlighting the positive aspect of available parking.
However, the value aspect really struggles, with a score of just 3.1 and customer satisfaction at a mere 12.5%. Many feel the price for pizza slices is overhyped and a rip-off, especially when the quality doesnt match. With 7 negative comments, its clear that many find the offerings too expensive for what you get.

- sliceHowever, the cheese was pretty basic, and they hardly added any veggies/toppings. It wasn't a memorable experience, and each slice was 7 dollars, which was too much for what was offered.
If youre looking for great value, this might not be your spot, as many feel the prices are too high for the quality. While theres free parking, be prepared for potentially overhyped offerings that could feel like a rip-off if you're expecting more bang for your buck.
How are the prices at Stevie's?
You’re looking at roughly 24$ per person – reported by 48 diners. That puts it in the $21–$30 category. For a Pizzeria, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
While the average is 24$, it’s interesting to see that many diners actually spend a bit less, with a big chunk falling into the 11-20$ range. There are also a few who go for a more premium experience, spending 40$ or more, showing a nice mix of options.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 48 reviews.
Comparing this Pizzeria’s value for money against similar spots in Seattle.
Overall, for a Pizzeria in Seattle, we think the pricing feels quite fair. It offers options for those looking for a quicker, cheaper bite, as well as those wanting to splurge a little more. We’d say it hits a sweet spot for value.

Delicious Pizza, Frustrating Ordering Process
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delicious pizza and a very frustrating ordering process. The pizza itself was very tasty! However, the ordering system needs improvement.
Online orders automatically place you at the back of the queue, resulting in a one-hour wait, with no option to come in earlier. Calling in an order was also difficult, as I was on hold for an extremely long time before I decided to try another method. It seems like it might be faster to just show up and order directly.
I was also disappointed that the Normie pizza is no longer available as a standard option. It was previously $35, and now the base is $33. Adding the Burrata and Hot Honey to make it a Normie costs an additional $9.
50, which feels like a significant price increase for customization.

Delicious Pizza and Great Caesar Salad!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and a veggie pizza for my wife. The pepperoni cups on the slices were perfect.
While the first slice was a bit too hot, the second slice was even better as it cooled down, allowing the flavors to really open up. We also tried the Caesar salad, and it was exactly the Caesar salad you want and need. The spot has a cool rock and roll vibe, and I'm looking forward to returning to enjoy some live music while having a slice or two.

Delicious New York Style Slices!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the solid New York style slices, and they were truly exceptional. The little pepperonis transformed into lovely crispy cups, and the crust had the perfect combo of chew vs crunch.
The food quality was a perfect 5/5, and the service was equally impressive at 5/5. The atmosphere was also great, rated at 4/5. I highly recommend this place, especially for vegetarians!
