Stoner’s Pizza Joint had a quiet soft open as they are still awaiting some furniture and decor, but they have tables, chairs, and everything you need to enjoy a pie or two.
While the name of the restaurant is Stoner’s Pizza Joint, don’t let the name confuse you. Despite the theme of the place, it’s all for fun and a safe place to bring families or anybody wanting some pizza.
One big appeal is the restaurant is open until 2 a.m. on the weekends and 11 p.m. on all other days. So those clamoring for more late-night eats in Wichita, here’s something to add to your list.
As for the menus, there are pizzas that range in 10”, 14”, and 18” along with wings, strombolis, salads, calzones, and plenty of desserts.
We were told that in the coming days, maybe weeks, Stoner’s Pizza Joint plans to offer some specials like a quick 2-pizza-slice meal that should help with the downtown crowd looking for a quick lunch option.
For our first visit, we went with a limited-time specialty Pickle Pizza, the No Brainer (their version of a supreme), and Sweet Stix which was Stoner’s dough brushed with sweet cream butter & dusted with cinnamon sugar.
When our food came out, they accidentally brought out a Nice To Meat You which was similar to a Meat Lover’s pizza. Keep in mind, it was the very first day open to the public and we might have been one of the first handful of customers to come in that day.
We did make them aware of it and were OK with keeping the Nice To Meat You and calling it good but they insisted on making our No Brainer. So we ended up with three 10” pizzas made with a thin crust.
Our favorite was easily the pickle pizza. We love pickles so this was an easy win for our tastebuds. We about devoured the whole thing and left one slice before digging into the others. While the No Brainer was delicious, I was very pleasantly surprised with the Nice to Meat You.
It was one of those situations where a mistake turned out to be a blessing. I was going to town on that pizza and dipping it into garlic sauce.
As for the Sweet Stix, we found them to be a bit too bready for our liking.
Final thoughts on Stoner’s Pizza Joint:
Was there a small mistake on our first visit to Stoner’s Pizza Joint? Yes, but it was taken care of quickly. Mistakes are bound to happen on the first day and how a restaurant responds is usually a tell tale sign of what customer service will be like in the future.
Having been to plenty of first-week openings, this one went very smoothly. Of course, we were only one of two tables during our visit so they weren’t exactly getting slammed.
But now that word is going around that Stoner’s Pizza Joint is open, I’m sure things will pick up.
We definitely enjoyed our pizza and will be back to try the wings and other menu items.
