Venice Pizza & Subs

During the summer of 2018 I took residence in the same neighborhood as Venice Pizza. At first I was hesitant towards the dive bar/ pizza joint with no particular theme. Along with the limited Seating. The persistent flyers left in my door offering a $8.99 large pie special, gave me reason to visit the pizza joint with limited seating. After a few visits, I had to admit. The pizza was good. Really good. Especially with only one cook and one bartender running the establishment most of times. One of my final reviews of 2018 credited that same neighborhood for being a village of opportunity. A statement directed for the residents of that neighborhood to thrive. Five months later I returned to that neighborhood and resisted my pizza joint of choice. Upon my return Venice Pizza was still a quiet neighborhood joint run by one bartender as the same cook named Darnell. Despite being understaffed, and despite the late night hours. Darnell's consistency was the key ingredient to Venice Pizza's special pies. His consistent smile. His consistent positive attitude. And his consistent work ethics. Values which our country of opportunity has based itself on.

My second delivery order. I had to revise my review and take away 2 stars. As I looked at my receipt, I see all the extra charges on my receipt. Now I know there was a 2.99 delivery charge, chicken fingers were 7.99, greek salad 8.99 and a '2.00' credit card charge(What the heck is this?), plus 1.57 tax. This order turned out to be a whopping 23.54!Food was really good, arrived way before the estimated time and the delivery girl was super nice.But, I doubt I will order delivery from here again. If I order in future, I will go pick it up myself.

If I could use Zero stars I would. I chose to order out instead of hotel food based upon a menu slipped under my room door and that an injury made it challenging to walk to a restaurant. I first called at 7:09 and was put on hold 3 times. When asked the delivery address I gave the man on phone the hotel name 4 times, which he should have known if for no other reason the menu was slipped under the door.I tried to order a 12" pizza but was told the minimum delivery order was $15. I looked at the menu, mentioned it said nothing about a minimum order (a 12" is $12.99) and it meant with "that's our policy," so I ordered a 14" at $15.99.At 8:02 I called to see where the pizza was and was told it would come in 15 minutes. It finally came at 8:34. The only positive of this entire experience was that the delivery lady was pleasant, even if the pizza was lukewarm by the time I could eat it.So it's safe to say that I will report this to the hotel manager and recommend they don't allow Venice Pizza to slide their menu in rooms.

A small order and takeout window is what makes Venice Pizza & Subs exist in "New York Cafe." All orders are to go or for delivery. We initially thought their menu consisted of only a handful of items listed by the window. (A steal actually - $6.99 for a Large Pizza, $4.99 for Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Garlic Bread, etc. I think that menu only applies to those who come in in person to order and take out.) In actuality, they have a full menu of pizza, subs ($5.49), Philly steak sandwiches ($5.49-$7.99), fried chicken, pasta ($4.99-$8.99), salads ($3.49-$6.49), and sides (fried mushrooms - $5.99, fried zucchini - $5.99, jalapeno poppers - $5.99, etc.). They even offer dessert - Tiramisu ($3.50), Chocolate Mousse Cake ($2.99), and Cheese Cake ($2.99).We got the Lasagna with Meat Sauce for $6.49 when we were hanging out at New York Cafe. It was a generous order and came with garlic bread too!They offer free delivery with a minimum $10 order. Visa and MasterCard accepted.

Where to start... should have used yelp, much like the other reviews conveniently got persuaded by the flier. Lady on the the phone was not paying attention at all while ordering and I asked for Diet Coke and she said yes we have diet coke.So... I just got off the phone with the restaurant. I spoke to Jackie who apparently works at a call center who could understand me when I requested to speak to a manager. I was then put on the phone with Mitch the cook from Mexico, who could also not answer any questions or let me speak to Nick the manager who was on a break. I told him about the Diet Coke and he told me it was free and was not interested in the fact that the menu said Diet Coke. Then I asked why I was charged a delivery free and he told me it was limited area refer to the flier, which is apparently 2 years old, went on to say locals are free hotels pay $3 delivery. Was not willing to give me anymore information because Customers aren't supposed to ask that many questions...Stay away!!!

Awful service. Ordered at 8:15, was told it would be a 45 minute window. Recieved pizza at 11. They forgot our drink too. During our almost two hour wait I called to check in and she asked to put me on hold in the middle of me asking about our order and I could hear her taking someone else's order. I was on hold for 6 minutes and called back.When we recieved the pizza it was a giant sponge of grease and was pretty gross. We ordered chicken wings too and a few of them were extremely overcooked and dry.I would never recommend this place to anyone and will never go back

If I could give them negative stars I would. Horrible customer service. The lady who answers the phone has no phone etiquette. I called my order in and I had to repeat the order twice and it was just a lunch special. This place was good until they changed owners. They went up on their prices and down on their quality. They messed up on my order 3 times. They remade it in the same old grease and did not give me a refund when I told them I was not satisfied. He just stated his cook was in training. I will not eat here again.

Pizza was great...service great...Delicious...I'm from Chicago and I would know....think crust was great.

I ordered here regardless of the bad reviews I decided to give them a try. The pizza was not doughy it was perfectly done and nice and hot. My hot wings were to die for fall off the bone goodness with blue cheese dressing. I am very satisfied with my order. They are under new management so the food is much better now. Delivery took 45min

This is my favorite pizza place in town, they literally have everything for low prices and they deliver!!!!!
