Medium Pepperoni

Original Steve's, the new name for Steve's Pizza with a change of management from Steve to his son, makes a great pizza in mini (8"), small (10"), medium (12"), large (14"), and xl large (16") sizes. They also have pasta, hamburgers, sandwiches, soup, and a salad bar (single trip). They have good lunch specials and seating that can accommodate large groups. There is also a small video game area.

Steve Wilkinson opened his first Steve's Place Pizza on 1978-02-22 in Davis. The Davis location is now owned and operated by his son Jeff. Steve's Place, Inc. has grown to eight regional restaurants, including one in Woodland. For its 2006 sales volume, Steve's was listed by Pizza Today as the 16th most successful independent Pizzeria in the country.

Circa 2005 Steve's started only allowing sporting events on their TV's. If there is a different game on the staff will change the channel for you. StevenDaubert is saddened by this due to the fact that he would watch the WWF at Steve's when he was young and his parents wouldn't let him watch too much TV. The TV channel limiters have been removed, and since it's under new ownership anything is possible

2011-09-18 19:45:27   Original Steve's is THE 1st Steves place pizza. It has been a longtime staple of the Davis community! When I was young the delivery vans had huge green phones on top. The breadsticks with extra cheese are always amazing, it's what I've gotten since I was real young. The pizza is good as well, it's not high end like VB/Symposium but it competes nicely with Woodstocks and Lampost, and is assuredly above the cheap pizza. —StevenDaubert

2011-09-18 22:34:24   While I love Steve's Place, (or Original Steve's), I am saddened that WWF is not considered a sport at Steve's Place/Original Steve's. I shall still eat at Steve's Place/Original Steve's though. —jefftolentino

2011-11-18 09:50:14   Great ingredients, great (wheat) crust, great pizza. You can tell walking in the door that the Wilkinson family really puts themselves into this place... the quality, service, and local charm have endured since their doors opened in 1978 (plus, they still have video games in the front!) It's reassuring to know that this local treasure is staying in the family, and staying in Davis for the next generation to enjoy. —OldDavis73

2011-12-08 18:02:51   Steves pizza is amazing, it is the pizza I order when I am by myself —KellenRuel

2012-01-22 10:59:55   I am a fan of this place. What I hate and I mean really can't stand is their on line menu! Does anyone else have trouble navigating it? —Sherri

I could feel how it is irksome, just fullscreen it, zoom it in, wait a few seconds for the resolution to increase, and then move the mouse up and down to navigate it

2012-03-23 20:23:04   I work downtown and I often used to get a small salad to-go on my lunch break. They have a decent salad bar, delicious croutons, and the portion was great especially for the price. It was quite economical, AND healthy (if you don't get the bacon and the ranch dressing!). However, their prices recently went up, and their to-go box sizes went down. So now I'd have to pay just under $4 for something less than half the size of what I used to get — the new small to-go box is just over a cup of salad, I'd guess. Not happening. I can get a larger and better salad from Trader Joe's for less than that, and I'm not even a Trader Joe's fan, but I'll do it. As for Steve's actual pizza, I've never been excited about it (it's all about Village Bakery, or homemade, for me), so that's not gonna draw me back either. Sorry, Steve. Oh, and adding to this disappointing experience today, the area where they keep the croutons and sunflower seeds smelled really bad!! It had the distinct odor of damp, unwashed rag, and yet the "sneeze-screen" was all dusty so I don't know where this dirty rag was used. No thanks... —gurglemeow
