The Original Pizza Chief — Restaurant in Ventura

Mark kenyon has owned pizza chief for 35 years on April 1st (believe it or not). Pizza Chief uses honey instead of sugar in the dough which is very expensive but makes all the difference in the world. The dough is like silk and rises to perfection, utilizing the sea salt air to proof the dough. The dough is made fresh daily and consistently perfect for every pizza pie. Not only do they have pizzas but they also make sub sandwiches and the bread is partially baked so it bakes fresh when they put it in the oven. The oven is made of stone which is very hot and better than the alternative to the conveyor belt system. Other options to the menu are as follows; lasagna , spaghetti, wings , and salads. For a complete menu and details, I encourage all to go to the Pizza Chief website. Nostalgia is history and we all love Ventura ! Come taste one of Ventura’s last historical restaurants. You won’t be...

The service is always super friendly and the food is always just what i wanted. I had the pesto with garlic and basil this evening and it was perfect. I actually have enjoyed every thing I’ve ordered in the past, so much so that i am on a mission to try everything on the menu. I’ll be there next Friday for sure, and the following, and so...

Suspect here, Pizza Chief is a Mom and Pop type of service (well, at least this one on Main) with the freshest ingredients possible. I actually work here and I see how much is put into the quality pizza. The dough is made every day inside the kitchen from the moment the ingredients are mixed to the moment the toppings are added as its put in the oven. Their quality is also shown by their side dishes, such as salads, subs, and spaghetti (which I make, heheh) but also the employees and customer service (now I'm just bragging about me). If you are craving a Quality made pizza, then come on over and try us (especially on Mondays, ask about...
