Stuft Pizza & Catering — Restaurant in El Segundo

My last memory of Stuft Pizza is trauma bonded with my middle school tackle football career. We'd come here after practices often, and it was a clear indicator that I had made it through another day in hell.

Middle school pop warner football was the most depressed I've been in my entire life. They ran the El Segundo Eagles like they were trying to win a super bowl, and I was just trying to have fun and make friends. The anxiety and dread of sitting in school knowing I had a week of practices looming over my head is a feeling I struggle to put into words. I hate putting myself back in that headspace. I'm having war flashbacks even typing this out... They made me play O-line smh.

Yesterday (18 years later), my brother and I walked into Stuft Pizza to pick up some pizzas for his son's 1st birthday party. Time flies.

Right when we walked in, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia as the interior is nearly the exact same. It’s nice when everything in your life can change, but the Stuft Pizzas of the world don’t. It really had me reflecting on my journey through life.

After the nostalgia wore off, the smells of fresh pies being developed began to dominate my senses. I forgot how good this pizza was. It has a crusty undercarriage and ample sauce to cheese ratio, which is my preferred slice. Y'all can keep the $30 Slice and Pint pie and the flop it comes with. I’m a Stuft Pizza guy through and through!

Thank you Stuft, for seeing me at my best and my worst without judgement.

FYI apparently stuffing the crust is not the reason this place is called Stuft I love me some pizza , usually any kind of pizza. what I don’t love is STUFT pizza. The crust not only had NO stuffing. It had zero flavor Zilch ! No butter No color No seasoning No cheese

Usually it’s about the toppings but this time I really wanted to try a cheesy this k crunchy crust And this was none of that fake reviews?

Now the service , I went out of my way to call and verify if only specific pizzas had cheese stuffing because the online menu only showed a few and they were all xlarg

After I asked about the stuffed crust the girl says well, uh, it is the name of our restraint So a couple of days later I was still urled for my $30 pepperonis and canned pineapples so I called em up to let them know how confusing that was

Eventually, I got the manager (supposedly) she already knows my order? Phone number I suppose I tried to tell me that she was the little sassy girl who took my order first off. Then get this She says I’m the only since 1984 when the establishment opened that has ever complained about a place called stuff doesn’t have stuffed pizza But when you ask if your pizza will be stuffed you’re told ITS OUR NAME, duh?

Hahaha Lesson NOT learned I still...

Wish i could rate 0. I visited with my wife 10 years ago when i lived in El Segundo and it was bad pizza and even worse customer service even then Today, on Halloween , kids wanted pizza so i decided to give Stuft another chance and boy was i wrong? So we ordered chicken Alfredo pizza. On their menu on the wall it didn't state what ingredients it had while it listed the ingredients for every other pizza, so i assumed it simply had just that: chicken and Alfredo. Was i wrong? It came with onions and yes: Canadian bacon. For crying out loud why adding Canadian bacon to chicken Alfredo pizza? And why onions? Neither the kids nor I like either one of those. Then the nasty tables and add to it that women restroom was out of order so there was a big line at the men's restrooms of men and women. Did i say that food, candy wrappers and soda were all over the floor? I asked my kids if they liked the chicken Alfredo pizza from Stuft or John's incredible pizza more. They both said they liked John's incredible pizza without even pausing. They both described Stuft pizza as " Disgusting" and i agree. Never...
