Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Gluten Free Pizza?
We do not currently make gluten free pizza. What we make is sourdough using excellent local flours from wheat grown properly and milled with love – whatever the magic combo is does mean that every week folks with gluten sensitivities tell us they can eat our pizza without issue. This does not include celiac. And this is not medical advice. Just sayin.
What Is Sourdough?
Sourdough is a traditional process of fermenting flour that skips commercial yeast and instead uses a “starter” – a live fermented mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeasts and healthy bacteria from the environment. It is not a flavor. Sourdough fermented doughs are not necessarily sour or tangy. This is how bread was always made before the invention of commercial yeasts. It results in a product with more interesting flavors. Other benefits are debated so that rabbit hole is up to you!
Do You Deliver?
Yes, we offer delivery. At this time, when you order delivery it will be brought to you by a third party delivery service.
Can I Make a Reservation?
For Beacon Hill, there is a large dining room and we would love to help host you for larger groups. Please contact us, hello@steviesfamous.com. For smaller groups or for the other locations, we unfortunately do not offer reservations.
Do You Allow Half & Half Pies?
We do not offer half & half toppings. We used to, and it led to a lot of pies that just didn’t work. And didn’t look good. If we make exceptions, then it just has led to more and more requests and back to where we started, pies that are not up to our standards.
Can I Request a Different Bake on My Pizza?
We target a bake that is on the medium brown side. Usually with a little bit of leoparding and char (not a lot). If you prefer a different bake, let us know.
Who Makes Your Ice Cream?
We make our extra richTM ice cream in house. We use washington dairy, lots of heavy cream and egg yolks, real ingredients for the flavors. And we spin it up to be chewy and dense. It’s not filled with air, which is just our approach to it. So 6oz of our stuff is the amount of ice cream as 10oz of some other stuff. It is inspired by new england custard styles.
Who Is Stevie?
That’s Shane (one of the owners) dog. As of this writing, 15 years old, deaf, blind, and a very happy pup! A pug mix of some kind. And the best. But also, a great name for a pizza spot don’t you think?
HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND REHEATING THE PIZZA?
One of our mottos is EAT HOT PIZZA. There are instructions inside the box for basic reheating guidance. It depends on how cold the pie is. If it is luke warm – like we said, EAT HOT PIZZA – so we recommend you heat that up at around 500F for two to three minutes. If it is cold out of the fridge, make that more like five minutes.
How Do I Purchase a Gift Card?
There is a link at the bottom of our web page to order digital or physical gift cards. https://steviesfamous.digitalgiftcardmanager.com. Also swing by any of the shops to purchase a physical card if you prefer.
Do You Have Vegan Pizza?
Yes we do! Our tomato pie is vegan. And a favorite for many vegan and non-vegans alike. We do not offer vegan cheeses or meats. Off the shelf options we have tried are not our thing. When the dough and sauce are great, a tomato pie is a beautiful thing. Throw some veggies on there if you please.
