Village Pizza III — Restaurant in Town of Red Hook

I had heard great things about Village Pizza in Red Hook so I decided to order five pizzas from there for a recent party. I can’t remember a time when I had more of a challenge trying to give an establishment my business. I called to order and the man who answered the phone was very brusque. Since I had not done business there ever before, I was not sure of their procedure and asked him if he wanted me to pay in advance. He said he didn’t care what I did and I said well then I’ll give you a credit card now.” He hung up on me. I had to call back and talk to someone else to complete the order. The day the pizzas were to be picked up, the people bringing them to the house were about an hour late. So we called Village Pizza to find out if the delivery had been picked up. Seems like a very clear question right? Was the order for five pizzas for 3:30 today picked up? The same man who answered the phone and hung up on me two days before said, “Exactly what are you asking me here?” If I was to take a wild guess, he probably thought I was trying to get away with something and was suspicious. Needless to say, for pizza that was only OK, no one needs to be dealing with a man who needs a Dale Carnegie course before speaking to the public. There are a lot of pizza places, dude. Next time when someone calls with $100 order for pizza, maybe try a little courtesy. It really does...

From out if state and visiting for a few days.

This is the kind of old school pizza joints both my wife and I grew up going to in the 70s and 80s. It is perfect! Place your order, get your drink out of the coolers by the door and have a seat.

Went there last night (Saturday at about 8PM).

The staff is fantastic and friendly. Probably 5 guys there working and constantly doing stuff. Wiping down tables, cooking and restocking yet a very loose atmosphere. They all seemed to take a lot of pride in the place and we're having fun. Seemed like a very tight crew and a well oiled machine of a business.

We dined in.

My wife ordered a pizza (cheese and black olives), our daughter got spaghetti with tomato sauce and I got cheese ravioli with same sauce. Garlic cheese bread to share. The pastas also came with a basket of bread. Yes, a lot of food so be prepared. It was all FANTASTIC.

This place really rocks!...

The prices online were not accurate to actual pricing, and I did not get a menu with my orders. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, wings. Wings were a bit chewy so I cooked them for a little longer at home. I didn't enjoy them much. The chicken parm didn't last the 10/15 minute drive home. The sauce merged with the bread (making it dough like)and dripped between my fingers as I tried to eat it. Disgusted by the bread, I tried to eat only the chicken and cheese portion. It was atrocitious. I threw it away because I couldn't stomach a less than half of it. If you're looking for a quick cheese pie, or a tasty dessert, this place is ooookay. However if you want food, I suggest walking around the corner to Charlie Os. Don't waste...
