Stratton's Pizzeria

The pizza was good, service was not admirable, and my wings were served raw. After waiting for a refund they finally just gave me cash instead of reimbursement on my card. My salad came after my meal and my meal came out before my drinks. I sadly will not be returning.

I actually went out of my way by 30 minutes to stop in for dinner because the owner(maybe? I believe so) had the guts to call out their pizza joint on a Raxxanterax live stream (if you know, you know). I was already 8 hours from home, so what's another half an hour for hopefully good pizza. Ordered a 14" Stratton's Combo (basically a "supreme" pizza), buffalo wings, and a small salad with vinaigrette. I'll skip through the salad and bone-in wings mostly. Salad was your typical side/dinner salad fare. Crisp cold lettuce and the usual onions, olives, croutons, etc. Wings were tossed in the typical hot butter sauce and had a slight crisp to them and a juicy interior. Done well without being dry. The kinds of things that don't really stand out unless they're done poorly or have a very unique spin. In other words, don't really affect the actual score much, if at all. I will say though that I was a bit miffed that no ranch or Bleu cheese dressing was given, nor was an option offered. I'm sure I could have asked, but if that kind of thing bothers you, uh, ask for sauce? Anyway the buffalo sauce was enough for me. Now on to the pizza. Again the usual supreme style with the expected toppings. Overall a good pizza. Sauce was flavorful but not dripping. Cheese was nice and melty without being overwhelming, goopy, or (too) greasy. Crust had a bit of crisp and a nice chew, its flavor was good but mild. I don't recall any kind of heavy sourdough type of flavor. I did think it was a bit heavy on the "crust" ratio though. It's absolutely personal preference, but unless my pizza is very puffy or has a prominently seasoned crust, I prefer if the toppings go out closer to the edge. I'm rather torn between ratings. While the food was great overall, I don't think there was anything that really popped out as being a standout or extremely memorable, and that's totally fine. And for me it didn't quite hit my nostalgia pizza button either, which may have made a difference. Maybe some kind of real signature item might help to distinguish this shop, or something unique that helps the shop stand above the crowd. But no matter. If I was in the area again and I was wanting pizza, I wouldn't hesitate to eat there locally instead of being lazy and ordering generic delivery. I did not get a dessert and did take home (aka hotel) most of the pizza and ate the rest cold or microwaved for the rest of the day and the next. This did not affect the score. Ok after a bit of thought I will say that I'm now leaning a bit more towards 4 than 5. I remember now that I tasted the sausage separately from the pizza and honestly the flavor was really bland, almost to the point where I was wondering if was actually Italian sausage. Given all of the flavors the sausage gets rather lost, which is ok, but on its own it just didn't stand up to scrutiny. But bravo for stepping up and naming the place on a game streamer's live stream.

Stratton's pizza was fantastic. It's been a long time since we've had pizza this good. We were passing through Galt, we were hungry, and boy, were we lucky to find Stratton's. Super friendly staff, decent prices, nice beer selection, and the pizza; fresh toppings, great sauce, perfect amount of cheese, and the crust was magnificently crunchy bottom. If you're after soggy bottom pizza, sorry, this is not your place. We'll definitely be back.
