Nevertheless, for pizza lovers and those seeking a warm, inviting spot for a meal, Stick Stone is a highly recommendable choice...

My precise rating is 3.5 stars, but I have to round it one way or the other. First, food is definitely the sole highlight here. Sandwich was great - fresh ingredients and tasted good. Meatball soup had a good assortment of ingredients and was tasty. My four point pizza review of the Colonel Mustard: Crust: 5/5 - Good consistent thickness, just the right texture, and awesome charred flavor. Sauce: 5/5 - I don't believe I've ever had mustard on a pizza before, nor would I have considered it, but it works very well with this combination. Described as 'honey mustard' it was more mustard than sweetness. Toppings: 4/5 - Good freshness and distribution of ingredients. There was considerably less cabbage than I expected from the menu description. Preparation: 4/5 - Well cooked, and again I will emphasize the fire charring was most excellent. The cabbage was dry and not tossed in a BBQ aioli, so one of the ingredients was totally missing. So overall the food was really great, but service left much to be desired. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, but most of the staff appeared visibly stressed. It took only 15 minutes to receive our food, but we never saw our server again after that, and after waiting for a box and the check after we were done eating, another server finally picked up on my staring and realized we were ready. No one ever asked how our meal was. FOH organization was lacking, and everyone was trying to do everything which was actually counterproductive. My takeaway is to order their excellent food to go in the future and skip the...

Stick and Stone pizza has 2 different menu prices for dinning in and take out. If you plan to order on-line and pick-up up your order be prepared to pay an extra 15% than in-dinning menu prices. This forced tipping just cost them a customer. Their pizza is good but definitely on the higher side but becomes unacceptable when charging 15% more for carry-out. Another issue was the expediency of how long it took to get the order. Ordered at 7:50 and got an e as timate of 8:21 for pick-up. I arrived there at 8:17 and they were just prepping the pizza for cooking. They didnt put the pie in until 8:21. We have a commercial wood fire pizza oven at home and know how long it should take to prep (less than 3 minutes...any more and you overwork the dough) and cook (no more than 2 minutes in a 700-800 degree wood fired pizza oven...we fire ours up to over 900 and pizza is done in 90 seconds or less). Now this much time would have been acceptable if we had ordered on a Friday/Saturday night but this was on a dead Tuesday. 1 couple was rating outside and 2 others were inside. There was also 1 other takeout being done at the same time. Tipping is for good service. This forced tipping has resulted in us going elsewhere to eat when we are in town and warn others to avoid this place since the proprietors of this establishment feel it is necessary to impose a tip/penalty for not eating inside...
