I read quite a few reviews of pizza joints around Steamboat before deciding to come to How Ya Doin Pizza and Eatz. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was pretty disappointed, as was my companion. First: the service: We sat at the bar. I first asked for a water with lemon, and my companion a beer. After we ordered our food, a Philly Cheese Steak pizza and a meatball sub, we felt totally ignored by the bartender. She disappeared for quite a while, so one of the other wait staff nicely helped us when we asked for something before our food came. We asked the bartender for a to go box, and also later for the check. She never asked if we wanted another drink, (ours were empty), or anything else. It was a Thursday evening and not busy. 0 follow up to me is unacceptable. (I've been in the food service industry 17 years) She (Jade according to my reciept) was mostly busy standing far down the bar near the kitchen chatting with other (male) employees.
The food: My 10" Philly cheese steak pizza was just ok. The meat was so over cooked from the oven, it was chewy like beef jerky. I had to add some salt and pepper to my pizza for it to have any taste. The meatballs on the sub, according to my companion, were dry, and too large for the bread on which it was served.
The food was not horrible, but not anywhere close to what I expected based on the price and reviews. I might return if I was actually being served by someone who cared about their customers (of any gender). The food runner and other gal who helped us made our night, after...
Read moreI gave How Ya Doin 3 stars because normally when we have eaten there and have ordered pizzas and salads, they have been amazing. But something was really off this time. Our Cobb salad was missing all of the typical fixings and very weak, so was our spinach salad. Pizza's crusts were thinner than normal and barely had any toppings even though we paid for them. We ordered a Chicken, Sun-dried tomato (In fact, I don't think I saw any sun dried tomatoes on there)Pesto Pizza and a Pepperoni, Mushroom, and Pineapple pizza..... barely any of those toppings on the pizzas. Pizza's used to be rich in flavor, toppings, crust, and sauces. Such a bummer. Didn't have the heart to ask my husband how much money this set us back. Just wondering if maybe due to the pandemic and re-opening of maybe we caught them on a bad day or month.... and if they just were cutting corners in every way possible OR just did not have ingredients. Please How Ya Doin..... make a comeback for us! This is the second time in a row that we have had this...
Read moreWe enjoyed excellent pizza,and service when we visited steamboat in June. Last night, however was a different experience. Our waitress seemed disinterested in serving us, mumbling through the list of beers in rotation. What's funny is they are right next door to Storm peak brewing. Unfortunately, as I was advised, I could not bring a beer from storm peak to HYD pizza. Bummer, since the beer selection at HYD is marginal. And one in our group had ordered a cocktail, which cannot be taken to storm peak. Anyway, on to the pizza. We ordered a.philly steak and cheese, which in June we devoured. This time the meat was chewy and the cheese and sauce had no flavor. We also ordered a.meatball, BBQ chicken, and figgy. The best was the meatball, with lots of meat and flavor. The BBQ chicken was too heavy on the sauce and too skimpy on the chicken. The fig pizza also was good. Overall, compared to June, this only...
