Steve's Pizza & Deli — Restaurant in Town of Kingston

I’ve been to this pizzeria several times, and while the food is tolerable, the way this establishment is run is extremely disappointing. The owner allows his son to treat employees in a derogatory and disrespectful manner. A close friend of mine once worked there and was subjected to treatment far below what anyone should have to endure in a workplace.

As a paying customer, I have always been respectful and polite to both the staff and ownership, never expecting special treatment just because I knew someone employed there. Yet despite this, I was told by the owner’s son that I was not welcome inside and would have to wait in the parking lot for my food simply because of an unrelated issue he had with my husband. This was not only unprofessional but discriminatory in nature. The business had no issue accepting my money, but apparently had an issue with me as a customer without any wrongdoing on my part.

I know many friends and family who have supported this business over the years, but after this experience, I will be taking my money elsewhere. It’s shocking that a business can operate this way for so long, especially when there are clear concerns that could easily be brought to the attention of the Department of Labor, Department of Health, Department of Finance, and even the IRS.

It’s a shame because the employees work hard and deserve far better treatment as do the customers who choose to support this establishment. If his son truly is taking over the business like he gloats about, he really needs to fix his son’s egotistic, racial and...

So I decided after seeing all the hype all over a couple different chat boards that I had to stop and see this place and try the food. Being a deli aficionado why not. Let me start off by saying if you’re going to order online use the Slice app the prices are half, that is not the restaurants fault. It’s just the way that these online delivery companies charge. So of course I decided to order the Italian mix sub. The sub itself is massive personally for me. I would’ve preferred to have Cappy Ham overall it was a good sub not a top sub I’ve ever had in the area, but still a good sub for the price. The bread is good. We also ordered a sampler platter of appetizers, the onion rings were my favorite. What are the member in the group ordered a chicken Parm sub which she is what I would consider the chicken parm sub expert, it was reported it was delicious. Overall, I would go here again and I would recommend stopping by just based on cost the amount of food you get for the amount of money you spend is good. Be careful when pulling in because the parking lot entrance comes up quick. The inside is decorated like a typical pizza place but...

Today I stopped in for a few sandwiches. Steve has the BEST SANDWICHES EVER!!! While there a very ruff looking man was finishing up his meal and had gone out to give his dog hus scraps. He went to pay and his card declined. The man was starting to panic. The 2 wonderful woman behind counter did not make a scene, were polite, respectful and told the man it was ok. When the man left I was told he’s homeless (has a dog) is living near by in a tent. That he normally has $ but today didn’t. Well, the owner said he never lets the man or dog go hungry. THIS IS AMAZING. There are great humans in our community!!! Eat at STEVES!!! Support this business!! He has great food and a great heart!!! If feeling generous throw a few extra bucks to them, tell them the next meal for this man & furry friend is on you! Heck, bring a little food for the dog, maybe handwarners, a hat, something that can be passed along!! With all the ugly going on this restaurant is going above & beyond. THANK YOU STEVE & STAFF!! I look forward to next...
