Village Square Pizza - Upper East Side — Restaurant in New York

"As a discerning food critic, I've had the pleasure of sampling myriad culinary offerings, yet it is a rare occasion that I encounter a pizzeria that genuinely elevates the classic dish to an art form. This establishment does just that, with a finesse and mastery that is both impressive and deeply satisfying. The moment one steps through the door, they are greeted by an ambience that strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary sophistication, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.

The highlight of their menu is, without a doubt, the Pepperoni pizza. This creation is a sublime showcase of quality and craftsmanship. The dough, a perfect testament to the skill of the pizzaiolo, offers a delightful contrast in textures – crispy on the outside, yet soft and airy within. But the true star is the pepperoni. Each slice is a revelation, richly flavored, with a perfect balance of smokiness and spice. The pepperoni is generously layered atop a vibrant, homemade tomato sauce that sings with notes of freshness and a subtle tang, complementing the meat's robustness beautifully.

The mozzarella cheese, luxuriously creamy and perfectly melted, binds all the components together in a harmonious blend. It’s evident that only the finest ingredients are chosen for this culinary masterpiece. To finish, a light garnish of hand-picked basil leaves adds a fragrant, herbaceous touch, enhancing the pizza's depth of flavor.

Service here is as impeccable as the food. The staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and possess a keen eye for detail, contributing significantly to the overall dining experience. Moreover, the pricing is astoundingly reasonable, considering the exceptional quality of the food.

In conclusion, this pizzeria isn't just a dining venue; it's a destination for those who truly appreciate the art of pizza-making. The Pepperoni pizza, in particular, is a dish that transcends the ordinary, offering a taste experience that is as unforgettable as it is delicious. A must-visit for any aficionado of...

I went here two days in a row and it was a disaster, first day I went my total was 9.00 and change and the refuse to allow me to use my card when I have used my card there for $8. I was also on my break so just imagine you get turned down for 1 dollar!!! I order Uber eats today to avoid contact with the guy in there with a Pony tail and I watch as someone gets the slice I ordered 10 mins ago. I told him I had a pick up and he just said I had to wait I had to ask how long then he goes 10 mins when I already ordered it 10 mins prior !!! 20 mins for a slice of pizza, I told him I can’t wait and he said I have to cancel it. I called Uber to cancel it they had to call the store to confirm the store didn’t have it and I watched him reject the call twice!!! After I told him that Uber will be calling to confirm. I hate playing this role but he was more friendly to other ppl but was rude to me both days and it makes me feel like he’s racist towards black ppl. Like there’s no reason someone in store gets a slice before someone who pre ordered. Then to not answer the phone when Uber eats is calling to confirm you don’t have the slice to give to me. I wasted my entire break and I was embarrassed cause he’s behind the counter smirking...

I recently visited this pizzeria, and unfortunately, it wasn’t the experience I was hoping for. The main issue was the wait time—despite the place not being particularly busy, they couldn’t seem to put two slices in the oven right away. They told me they’d have to “wait” which was baffling because there were only a handful of customers. I don’t mind waiting for fresh food, but the delay seemed excessive and unnecessary for fast food!!

To make matters worse, the staff didn’t exactly help matters with their attitudes. The person behind the counter seemed annoyed when I asked how long the wait would be and didn’t offer any sort of apology for the delay. It felt like I was inconveniencing them just by being there.

I understand that every business has its off days, but when you’re not busy and there’s no clear reason for a delay, it makes you question the efficiency of the operation. If you’re looking for a smooth, quick pizza experience, I’d suggest looking elsewhere—there are plenty of places where you won’t feel like you’re interrupting the staff’s day just by...
