  1. He’s spot-on. Great addition for this side of I-69. Passion Pane is good, but we’d never drive the 5 miles (15 minutes each way in Fishers traffic) to go get it – I see very little competition/stealing of business in play.

    1. Going the speed limit it would take you 10 min with no stop lights. Fishers traffic is light compared to other cities yet people complain about it all the time. SMH

      Stecenko should have had a non-compete, that’s on him. Passione Pane hasn’t been the same since Sam left. Looking forward to driving a whole 10 minutes in awful Fishers traffic to check the new place out!

    2. OK, even if 10 minutes (to appease you, google says 13 from my home) – 20 minutes roundtrip, assuming the pizza is ready the exact moment you arrive and you can quickly pay and then get back down 116th and over I-69 to your house… best case scenario your pizza is 15 minutes from oven to table? No thanks.

  2. It’s ironic to see comments saying “it’s not competition its on the other side”, but then saying “can’t wait to drive the distance to Sam’s place”.

    Yes, it is on Stecenko for not doing a non-complete, but it is still a scummy move to do something so similar so close. This is why franchises have area agreements.

  3. We went recently and it was a HOT MESS, we waited almost 2 hours for a pizza, and 2 of them were wrong. SO some in our party waited well over 2 hours for A pizza. The food was good but it was highly unorganized and just chaotic as all else. And sounds kinda like a scumbag move but shame on the buyer for not using a business attorney…
