Stuft Pizza & Brewing

Bona fide pizza experts would agree that the place is simply average at best. The ambiance and décor is cool and all but when it comes down to the pizza I expected more and received less. This is the type of bready and fluffy pizza covered in sugary marinara sauce that is filling but not fulfilling to your taste buds. As a native San clementian I may have received too much hype from friends and held my expectations too high. The cheese to sauce ratio was okay and the toppings were decent. 6 $ for two slices and a fountain drink was a fair price but in the pizza game there are too many other options to consider. I recommend giving it a try though because everyone has different taste.

It is the best pizza in San Clemente area…
I always order Hawaiian pizza, the staff is super nice.
Great place to eat!!!

This place has changed so much the new staff is awesome they greet you as you walk in there is always someone at front to help with any questions. My last experience here was great right away you can notice the difference in the management team. The food was great pizza was cook to perfection nice and fluffy with a crunchy bottom crust just the way I like it can’t wait for the weekend to come so I can go eat again order some wings and pizza and enjoy the cool new live music.

Best Pizza in SC. My dad and I have tried many places around town and we both agree this is our favorite. The only thing we don’t care for is the atmosphere, mostly cater towards children it seems.

The green salad is really good it’s full of lots of flavors a nice cheese peppercinis and a great balsamic and olive oil dressing in separate containers.
The spaghetti with meatballs was just ok. The spaghetti was a little bit overcooked and probably not well rinsed so it it was soggy and it did not have a nice texture or flavor.
The marinara sauce was very tasty albeit a bit spicy with, chili, I think. It didn’t need splice.
The meatballs were tender and flavorful although they could have had more flavor with some spices.
All in all the quality of the food is good and the flavors are decent. The value is pretty good.

Not a fan. Pricey for what you get. Service and quality is inconsistent. If you like New York style Pizza go to LaRocco’s instead. If you like Chicago style deep dish consider Izza’s or Selmas.

Very unsanitary and poor service. Food is good if the good cook is working but if not then don’t bother. Fun place to hangout but the food is not up to par and the beer is not cold.

You know its a bad sign when management changes at least once a year. Newest only care about profits and not consistency of food or improvements of the run down restaurant.
The pizza is great, if you eat it there and go at an off time when the good cook is there. Honestly it is not worth the gamble of getting a low quality pizza and spending a lot of money. I have seen some pretty unsanitary business go down in the back and thats what ill leave it at. Take your business elsewhere!

This place might be the hidden gem in San Clemente… Pizza is delicious, very fresh, and their go-​to menu on the chalk board is phenomenal. If it weren’t for its location, the place would compete with Pizza Port. This is my first thought when I want good pizza.

Had late lunch there today. Pizza was good however the place looked rather dirty, trash on floor and several tables needed to be cleared of leftover drinks and food. Silverware also looked questionable. We were in the restaurant for over a half hour before someone finally cleaned up the tables.

Not sure why this place only has three stars. This is our favorite pizza for delivery, and you can order on your phone! Makes it so simple.
Our favorites are the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Hawaiian. Always a favorite. Pizza isn’t too thin or too thick, just right :)

All their pizzas, sandwiches, and spaghetti are amazing! Great selection of beers on tap too. They have every game from futbol to football– including dodger games :) the service is top notch Alina and David definitely go that extra mile for their customers. Alina noticed my pitcher of beer was getting warm and put it in the freezer for us :).
If you’re looking for a great pizza pie or some hert to watch a game give them a try

Ordered our pizza at 7 and just got it delivered at 8. Worst delivery service ever! Don’t know who’s running this place but I’ve noticed a decline in delivery time recently. Come on, 2 hours!!!
Update
The pizza was amazing but that delivery service sucked! Not blaming the drive cause I’ve had him deliver before.

New ownership… they really care !! Great service and tasty food. Pizza was hot and delicious, great place for a cold beer and they’re on every sport with multiple big size TVs all around. Great place to celebrate BDay parties or just a friend gathering… cheers!

Major points for customer service. This was especially helpful because I had just left Pizza Hut, HOME OF BAD ATTITUDES.
The pizza was welcome and good. Best yet Aleene (?) .was big time wonderful. I had gone to the discount store there in the plaza and was going to drop back in to get my pie but while I was carrying a boat load of bags across the blacktop she saw me, got my just-​done pizza and walked it out to me and put it in my car for me!
How refreshing for her too out of her way.
Owners should remember those kinds of people represent the business superbly and win the loyalty of people like ME!

So without knowing my decision to never order pizza from this place again, my darling wife called in a medium pizza on short notice for dinner. That’s fine, she knows now how much I think this branch of Stuft pizza is a failure and needs a brain transplant to save it. Why so harsh you might ask? This episode only added insult to injury.
Pizza guys arrives at my house actually within decent time. I look out my window and he’s got his friend in the passenger seat passed out, it appears. I’m going to assume there is some extremely dramatic circumstance in which this was necessary, ie his parents kicked him out because they couldn’t handle all of his straight A’s and he needed a lift and got sleepy. Not that he might be high driving around with his pizza delivery friend and decided to count some sheep in the early evening time.
Secondly, I ask his chauffeur pizza guy for change for a $ 20 on a $ 14 pizza and he says…“I don’t have change,” almost like he was shocked I asked him. Let’s hear that again. «I don’t have change.» What!!! You deliver pizza’s and you don’t have change??? So naturally, I am forced into giving him a 30% tip for his wonderful pizza delivery service.
I call the manager, AJ, who is overly apologetic about it, but doesn’t explain his opinion about the passenger, and really wants to send someone with my change. I refused on principle alone and how ridiculous that is over a few bucks and simply just implored him to run a better store, because it’s embarrassing.
Bottom line, I can’t stand this place. Pizza is decent when it arrives hot, and when it’s the right pizza. But I recommend eating your foot before dealing with this type of service.

I love this place. Seriously the Stromboli and Woody’s Favorite are amazing. I found this spot years ago while on vacation and have had the good luck to move closer, so that I can make the drive down once a month. San Clemente is always worth the trip but the Pizza … omg the pizza.
I was worried initially when I introduced my foodie husband to the place but he agreed, this is the best pizza on earth. As I said we get the Stromboli and Woody’s Favorite almost every time. We always leave very full and sad that we couldn’t taste just one more bite.
I have always gotten order in pizza and the look of Stuft is that of a charming surf town that reflects San Clemente. The staff is always lovely and we always seem to run into the same delivery guy who always stops to chat and inquire as to why we haven’t just moved next door already.
I love this place and honestly I wish it was my second home. If we manage to move to this town it probably will be.

If I’m not feeling well. I know I can always count on Stuff Pizza delivery
Soup !! Sandwiches !! They even went out to get water to deliver to me! This place is awesome and yummy even if ur sick

GREAT PIZZA AND GREAT PRICES!
Stuft pizza is a great local pizza restaurant! The pizza is the best in town and by far the cheapest and quickest! They have a great atmosphere and extremely friendly staff! Very clean bathrooms and very clean dinning area! Love the pizza and the restaurant all together! Absolutely no flaws! ¹⁰⁄₁₀!

Better than I expected. Being an east coaster and working in NY I know good pizza. The décor here is nice, awesome murals on the ceiling and a very nice hostess and wait staff. There are plenty of choices and everything seems clean. The food came out in a good time.
The wings were good and done the way wings should be. The had a good chicken test and sauce was flavorful. As far as the pizza goes the ingredients were flavorful (and tasted fresh). The crust was not as thin as a good NY pizza but still tasting, it kind of had this east coast soft pretzel vibe too it. Overall I would give it 8 out of 10 on pizza taste. The place itself in my humble opinion earned 10 out of 10 earning that for cleanliness, the great attitude of the wait staff and the great décor
I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
