The atmosphere is very dark and odd when it's midday. I’d maybe come back but their just wasn’t anything that stood out to keep from just trying somewhere else. The sauce was sweet and my mind wandered to fast food pizza to P Hut, L Caesar’s or Chuck e Cheese. The crust did have that Shakeys unique taste and feel. Toppings were good but the beef had that look that it was sprinkled on late on the process. Not hot nor cold just hanging in the lukewarm range. The pizza was ok for being flashed cooked. How did they do that as their was no brick oven I noticed. All though busy for lunch my server was exceptional and did everything with genuine friendliness….I think? Within five minutes my pizza arrived. After locating a table a server dropped of a lunch menu and returned so after for my order. In my experiences places that have quirky guidelines tend to have issues in different aspects of their business. I had to return to this sign twice to get my bearings straight. You have to do some studying before you seat yourself as the place is layed out with areas that have a server and areas that don’t. Or maybe the dark wood and hard to see lighting is on purpose□. I like old school but in the restaurant biz a little spruce up from time to time can make the food seem better. First thing I noticed is how dated the place is. I’m also familiar with Shakeys Pizza and heard it was similar here or maybe the same recipe or something. It’s been around awhile so I thought I’d give it a try. I’m not from Dubuque so I don’t know where STI sits in the realm of pizza joints in town.
