History[]
"Steven's Lion"[]

The sign on the roof was accidentally wrecked by Garnet, resulting in the Crystal Gems being banned from the restaurant "for life" until the end of the episode.
"Secret Team"[]
Steven and Garnet came to Fish Stew Pizza to talk.
"Restaurant Wars"[]
Fish Stew Pizza competed against Beach Citywalk Fries to see which one was the best restaurant.
"Kevin Party"[]
At Fish Stew Pizza, Steven puts up missing posters of Lion, whom he hasn't seen since he left with Connie, in the window.
"Letters to Lars"[]
The restaurant served as the location of a meeting between newly-elected Mayor Nanefua and the Crystal Gems, where they established a contingency plan in the event of a gem-related emergency.
"What's Your Problem?"[]
Steven and Amethyst search for Ruby at Fish Stew Pizza. While they take a break to eat there, Jenny chats with Kiki, having delivered pizza to Greg on Brooding Hill. She mentions Greg was comforting "some little friend" who was crying so hard they looked red, making Steven and Amethyst realize Ruby is with Greg.
"Steven Universe: The Movie"[]
Fish Stew Pizza is seen many times, however very little interaction happens there.
"Guidance"[]
Amethyst reveals, as part of her Gem-human partnering plan, that Bixbite is now working at Fish Stew Pizza, due to her abilities to make a perfectly precisioned pizza. Later on, Steven hastily assigns Zebra Jasper and Blue Lace Agate to work at Fish Stew Pizza as an attempt to potentially find a new calling.
"A Very Special Episode"[]
A hurried Ocean Jasper, Nephrite, Heaven Beetle, and Earth Beetle quickly run through the restaurant.
"Little Graduation"[]
Fish Stew Pizza is seen a few times in the background of the episode.
"I Am My Monster"[]
It’s yet again seen within the background.
"The Future"[]
As Steven is saying goodbye to Lapis Lazuli, Peridot, and Bismuth, Fish Stew Pizza can be slightly seen in the background.
Reception[]
The pizza's quality is up for debate. While Steven, Greg,[1] and Ronaldo like it, in "Beach Party", Amethyst claims that the pizza there isn't even that good, to which Pearl and Garnet agree. It should also be worth noting that after eating a pizza bagel prepared by Steven (a simple meal to make), Kofi immediately felt it was a threat to his business.
Location[]
Fish Stew Pizza is located between Beach Citywalk Fries and a door attached to a wall painted with fish designs, possibly an employee entrance.
Trivia[]
- Fish Stew Pizza’s current logo somewhat resembles Pac-Man from the Pac-Man franchise.
- In the past, as seen in "Story for Steven", its logo was previously a curved shape (either the entrance of a pizza oven or a pizza peel) with three fish.[2]
- The restaurant provides WiFi, as Ronaldo is seen browsing his blog on his laptop in "Steven's Lion".
- Because of this, he is one of their most frequent visitors, as he states on his blog.[3]
- This is again mentioned in "Restaurant Wars".
- A photograph can be seen in the pizzeria which, in some scenes, resembles Ruby. The mystery figure has both her general body shape, as well as her distinct haircut complete with bandana/sash.
- Since the episode "Secret Team" aired long before Garnet was revealed to be a Fusion Gem, this could be considered another early clue by the Crewniverse as to Garnet's true nature.
- The photograph appears with greater detail in "What's Your Problem?", showing a young Kiki next to Kofi.
- As seen on a business card on Steven's refrigerator in "Keeping It Together", their phone number is (443) 555–0156.
- Fish Stew Pizza offers reward cards. Collecting four of them results in a free pizza.
- This is the only place where Garnet has been shown drinking something in the show. This was only seen in the episode "Secret Team".
- She's been shown eating in both "Secret Team" and "The Future", where she eats a Cookie Cat
- Ronaldo interviewed the Pizzas for his video on the Crystal Gems at Fish Stew Pizza, shown in the episode "Rising Tides, Crashing Skies".
