Village Pizzeria — Restaurant in Bethel

We happened to be in the area and looked up a pizzeria nearby. What made me go was that reviewers said it was the best NY style pizza. Being a native New Yorker my family and I decided we would go confirm this 😅. I am happy to report it was a pleasant invitating, cozy place.....being in there with 5 kids did not make me feel uncomfortable like in other places. Now let me tell you reviewers were NOT wrong!!! This was the best pizza ever, EVER we have had since moving from NY now almost 5 years ago!!!! We truly felt at home!!!! In all these years we have tried countless pizzerias and none just hit the spot. Cheese, crust and sauce are just never the right combinations. But with Village Pizzeria I was blown away. It was SO so good that we ordered and ate 3 large pizza pies ON SITE with no left overs!!!! Even my twins who are 5 and tiny ate 3 slices each, which is unheard of! If you haven't given these guys a try, YOU ARE TRULY missing out!!!! Now the sad part is we live 40 min away, so we won't be able to get it as often as we wish we could. BUT we will for sure make the trip without doubt and I look forward to being back soon, not once or twice but as many times we can!! Thank Village Pizzeria for such amazing pizza!!! You made us re-live our old NY days and we are so happy we have finally found the place that makes us feel like...

The pizza here is just barely OK. Meaning its not bad but it's definitely not good pizza. The cheese is oily, the dough is pretty bland and even though the sauce is good, they are very stingy with it. The little more salt and sugar in the dough and a little more sauce would make the pizza decent.

The main problem with Village Pizzeria is the staff. They are incredibly rude on the phone. When you call in an order, the staff act like they dont want to be bothered.I figured they were just busy so I ignored the rudeness. I wanted to order a medium pie but the person taking the order kept pushing me to order a large instead. The price difference was minimal but I only wanted a medium pie. He kept insisting that the pie was only 'like a dollar more'. Who hard sells a pizza? Not wanting to waste my time, I reluctantly gave in. The pizza was not ready by time I made it over and ended up having to wait 10 minutes. The tables are sticky and just not clean. From what I could tell, they put my pie in as I walked into the pizza shop. I spoke with the person in charge, paid for my pizza and left.

Got home and opened up the box. The pizza looked good but it was disappointing. The dough was somehow stale. I will never order pizza from here again. If I had to guess, the hard sell was necessary bc they know you won't be...

The food is pretty good! I live in Bethel and this is used to be a regular spot for me but not anymore... one of the guys who works there (could be the manager or something) has a super nasty attitude... just a genuinely grumpy fella. Every time I go in there he seems very upset to have a customer (and nope, I don't go there right after it opens or right after it closes either!) He seems very upset to have to do work.. and on more than one occasion he messed up my order and was very not cool about it. The first time, I ordered a chicken parm hero, he gave me someone else's eggplant parm instead by accident.. when I got home, I called, and he said "I can make you another one but you have to come back for it" - no offer to refund the card, didn't throw in an order of garlic knots for the trouble of having to drive back there.. nada. The second time, I ordered fries, he didn't include the fries.. I called to inform him and he said I'd have to come back out there to get it... but then like why order DoorDash..? Again, no offer to refund, didn't include anything for the trouble, and was somehow upset with ME for calling him and asking about the...
