Stefano's Pizza & Italian Kitchen

(takeout & delivery)

MY REVIEW: Their meat lasagna is great! Tortellini alla panna is good too -- but very rich. Strangely, this Italian restaurant serves the BEST stuffed jalepenos. They are filled with CREAM cheese -- not cheddar cheese (blah)!

MY REVIEW: Best Italian food in Friendswood. Real homemade pizza, fresh pastas, wonderful subs, really nice staff. Only bad thing is they only offer delivery or pickup buy they finally moved to their new location and should be getting the dine started soon. Try the lasagna, chicken zelaya, grilled shrimp pasta, any sub, spinach salad. Everything on the menu is delicious.

Can't understand why people shop at the chains when places like Stefano's exist.

MY REVIEW: Best takeout/delivery Italian food around. Fantastic homemade pizza! By looking at the wall full of sports plaques this authentic mom & pop shop looks like they really support the neighborhood.

They are supposedly moving to a new location this summer (adding DINEIN yipee). I've also heard rumors that they are opening a BBQ place. The owner is always working and does a really good job so I'm sure their BBQ will be excellent.

MY REVIEW: A previous reviewer who commented on how difficult it is to get into Stefano's parking lot if you are headed west on FM 518, was absolutely correct. Also correct when he raved about the food at this take-out-only jewel. Been ordering delivery for years. Never a bad meal, probably because the owner is ALWAYS in the kitchen, leaving only when he comes to the order counter just long enough to greet regulars.

MY REVIEW: THIS IS THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN TOWN WE JUST LOVE IT. I HAVE TO GET A CANNOLI EVERY TIME I GET DINNER. THEY ARE THE BEST. THE OWNER IS FROM ITALY. HE TAKES PRIDE IN HIS FOOD. IT IS THE BEST JUST TRY IT ONCE. YOU WILL BE HOOKED.

MY REVIEW: I gave up on Pizza in the Clear Lake area. I had consider it void and barren of anything close to possessing a decent pizzeria. As a result of a change in geographics I went from having pizza perhaps once a month to maybe twice a year, and half of that time I've had drive 10 miles or more to get it -hit and miss. Well, I'm very excited to report that Stefano's is hands down the best pizzeria in the Clear lake area. The pizza and subs are very good -had both. Stefano's appears to be a rare mom and pop establishment. The only downside or recommendation I would make is to have wheat doe offered as an option.

MY REVIEW: Incredible. Great food, big portions. Good prices They deliver in 20-35 minutes. Best lasagna around. Pizza is great as are the greek and mediterrian salads. Homemade pastas, everthing is made from scratch. Owner always there and knows everyone. They open at 3 during the week and 11am on the weekends. Clean place although the shopping center is hard to find and looks old from the outside. After eating here you will NEVER eat at the chains again.

MY REVIEW: This is a family owned, wonderful resturant! Just visit a few times and they know your name! The food is FABULOUS and FRESH! Love the salads and the Chicken Zelaya (YUM). Our family eats there at least once a week and they have provided food for several of our parties! Always a crowd pleaser! Try it, you will not be disappointed!

MY REVIEW: My family enjoys ordering the grilled chicken fettucine alfedo dinner for delivery. Which arrives warm and on time. Great meal. More than ample portions. I usually split mine and have 2 meals. Tastes great the next day, too. It is occasionally a little greasy, but it wouldn't be alfedo if it weren't. And occasionally, the chicken has too much I think rosemary. The fact that we order the same meal frequently attests to the fact that it is always delicious. I highly recommend it.

MY REVIEW: One word: Awesome! We order their strombolis on a regular basis, but their pizzas and salads are equally good. We have tried their desserts, on occasion. Their Tiramasu is worth the calories. Speedy delivery, great prices.

MY REVIEW: The food is superb, the prices are great. You get great service if you walk in and speedy delivery if you have your order walked for you. I went away for college but no matter what the occasion, or how pressed for time I was, whenever I would even be in the general vicinity of Houston I would make a serious effort to make my way down to Friendswood for Stefano's Pizza. Its great. The only bad thing about is Friendswood's fault...they need to put a x-over in front of the restaurant so you don't have to go up to the light and make U-turn when coming from 528. But I would commit many more crimes for Stefano's pizza...traffic citations are small potatoes in comparison.

MY REVIEW: Have been ordering from Stefano' forever. We usually get delivery and sometimes order at least once a week. We have always had excellent quality and excellent service. The magnet is kept on our refrigerator and we know the menu by heart. Their Spaghetti Stefano is the best!

MY REVIEW: They know our name the minute we place a phone order! We have been customers since we moved here almost four(4) years ago. We have tried other Italian places, but always return to Stefano's. Delicious food, quick delivery, and courteous employees! We have never been disappointed.

MY REVIEW: I love this place. I stopped by one night just to check it out, and left with a pizza and an eggplant sando. The food is awesome, and the people are great too. I have ordered take out a couple of times, and delivery several times. Everything is delicious, and timely. I keep their magnet on my fridge....

MY REVIEW: We love this place.We moved from northern NY where there was nothing except mom and pop shops...so we are used to good, non franchise type of food. We order every Friday (and they deliver!).The pizza is great..tell them to go easy on the garlic though. We had one problem with the garlic being too much...they were so good about it. We got the next pizza free! Prices are reasonable.
