Hear from our valued guests
The place is nice and the pizza taste very good.
We like this pizza very much. Crust and cheese and toppings so much to our taste!
My family and I visited this place for lunch. They came to visit from Georgia. I much say, we really enjoyed the pizzas we ordered. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We had a blast. I definitely recommend this place. We will return.
Best chicken parm sandwich in the area made with fresh semolina bread. And the Sicilian is amazing. It takes an hour but is worth every bit of the wait and can feed 4!
Nice neighborhood pizzeria/restaurant that serves up a large selection of specialty pizzas. A large seating area is also available for dining in. Good pricing too. Regular slices and the chicken parm slices are excellent, along with the margarita slice.
I live in PA and every time I visit family. Village Pizza is a must. I've been going there for over 15yrs and the quality and consistency is 100%. I've had pizza all over the US, Canada and Village is my favorite.
Service was quick and friendly, and the vibe of the restaurant made it a cozy spot to enjoy my meal. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a full meal, this place delivers on its promise of high-quality, delicious pizza. It’s definitely earned a spot in my regular rotation!
some of the best parm ive ever had.
I ordered off Uber eats. We were looking for a seafood pasta plate to eat. The food was fresh and great packaging. No leaking. The meatballs weren’t that awesome but it’s just a personal preference as I found it not as tasty and dried. But my husband loved it since they were large. The seafood scampi was great. We ordered it with fettuccini pasta. The mussel we got in sweet sauce (red pasta sauce) and they make a pretty good red sauce. The bread they sent with the Caesar salad was so moist and soft. It added a bonus as we ate it the following day for breakfast. The garlic bread was ok large cut pieces. I would order other Italian dishes from here again to try their lasagna or chicken plates. P.s we added our own Parmesan cheese to the Seafood pasta and it gave it an amazing touch. Otherwise it would have been a bit too watery for us.
We absolutely love this place. The food is delicious!!! We were truly satisfied!!!
