Although I have had great respect for Village Pizzeria in the past... the fact of the matter is they have not progressed and many new Pizza places have shown up and eclipsed them in product, in branding and in service. Village was good when there was less options but now we have truly exceptional New York Style and New York adjacent Pizza in Los Angeles that makes Village essentially obsolete. Resting on their laurels with their soggy, greasy Pizza that maybe old school New Yorkers may appreciate if they have been away from New York so long they forgot what New York Pizza is like. By the way, just because it's New York Pizza or Pizza in New York does not mean it's good.
It pains me as a San Franciscan to also have to say Village Pizzeria's better days are behind them. If you think Village PIzzeria is good, I understand but if you knew about Apollonia's Pizzeria, Hot Tongue, Little Dynamite, Prime Pizza, Ozzy's Apizza even Roberta's and Pizzeria Sei - you would know why I say Village Pizzeria is for people with pedestrian pizza taste who enjoy stagnance and do not enjoy actual evolution or progress. Come on, you guys don't REALLY care about PIzza. Once upon a time you did, but this - it's like the Woke Remakes of Star Wars. Saying it's mid would be an improvement.
Also, they really could use better customer service. The hostesses act like they don't even want to deal with you and/ or seem incompetent in a basic way. The PIzzaolos here aren't even worthy of being called Pizzaolo and they probably don't even know what that is or care. So in closing, why should you care about Village PIzzeria in 2024? You shouldn't.
Village PIzzeria isn't even as good as Prince Street Pizza. Which is laughable. Village PIzzeria is like eating Boboli or something. At least it's not like eating a lunchable mixed with a Celeste Pizza like Fat Tomato and it isn't a disgrace to Pizza as a whole as Sampa's. But that is saying your Pizza is better than Pizza that knows it's not good. Village clearly thinks they have something way better than what they have. They know it deep down though. These people are just doing it because it's a job at this point. Just like Mulberry Street PIzza, stale and stagnant and honestly at this point if Village went out of business we don't really need you guys around anymore unless you're willing to progress. What excuse to you have to be lackluster like this when there are places like Santarpios who have been around since 1903 and Regina's that has been around since 1932 that have evolved...
Read moreAs I look down at the reviews So many people are talking about the bad service so it's not only me. So please don't try to make me look like a fool!! Your costumers are all complaining And you keep saying there lieing. I GUESS WE ARE ALL LIEING!! ? Right
I have no personal issues with this place, this was my second time I've ordered from this place. Just take the responsibility that your management needs to be in check, there's plenty of pizzas restaurants in the area. Nobody don't need an attitude over pizza, First of all the customer service is a nightmare!! I ordered a pizza it was horrible it was ice cold and I ordered extra pepperoni , I only got 4/5 pepperoni on each slice. Usually it's loaded So I called in to talk to the manager and the manager was so rude she told me what am I freaking out about it's only pepperoni, I said I'll send you a picture because there's no pepperoni on this pizza , She said how do I know if you're lying? OMG So I said your pizza delivery guy is here and he'll tell you, he got the phone and he verified that there was hardly any pepperoni, Then she told me you're acting like I murdered your kids OMG AGAIN, At this point I am so in shocked by this the manager gangster tone, I said all I want you to do is redo my pizza, She's like I'm ready to hang up on this phone I don't want to talk to you , I want to slice your throat OMG OMG and by the way this is on speakerphone, So her delivery guy was like oh my God I'm so sorry she did not mean that!! I'll just go back to the restaurant and get you some pepperoni I said I don't want nothing this lady wants to slice my throat.....Omg So I told her you're threatening my life over pepperoni , I'm ready to call the authorities this is outrageous!!! Then she hung the phone up!
I cannot believe this I have been eating in restaurants all my life and this was the first time that my life has gotten threaten, so if you order food from there be aware!! Of their gangster attitude! Just order a pizza & shut up type of restaurant! And as of the lady that threaten my life, I am a business owner and the customer is always right, I will never ever order or come into your establishment ever again...
