Village Bistro

The convenience is the best part, but don’t get me wrong the food isn’t so bad either. These guys have never let us down! Always hits the spot, I just wish it wasn’t so greasy. The prices aren’t too bad and they aren’t stingy on the ingredients either!

The bistro is good, but I would love to see them make it better. Expand the menu, get more creative. The worst part for me is they have this awesome brick oven… love it if they’d crank that thing up and make some real pizza! Gotta be a good reason they don’t use it I guess. Another review said they need longer hours… completely agree. They don’t offer their specials if they have to deliver it, plus they charge a delivery fee… pretty weak. But overall, it beats having to drive to town when you’re not in the mood.

In a world that craves convenience over quality, and in a city known for BBQ and steaks, and not high quality pizza (unless, of course, you count Domino’s and Pizza Hut), it’s easy to overlook some of the gems that are hidden around town.
The Village Bistro is one such center of pizza awesomeness. Located in Pecan, in the same spot as the all-​too-​often-​disastrous and thankfully-​now-​defunct «Brick Oven», the Bistro is a quirky little neighborhood «dive» with Tuscan murals on the walls, checkered table cloths on the tables, a young, knowledgeable staff and a wide array of downright terrific pies.
Whether you go for a classic pepperoni or the everything but the kitchen sink «Village Idiot», it’s hard to go wrong with one of their pizzas. The ingredients are fresh, the toppings plentiful and the baking absolutely perfect. But if you find yourself in the mood for something other than one of these heavenly pies, fear not, for the Bistro also offers hearty calzones and overflowing subs and salads. I’ve tried all three, and although my wife and I always go for the Village Idiot with the garlic butter crust (a must), I have to admit I’ve yet to order something that wasn’t flat out good.
If you’re a Pecan resident, as an added bonus, the Bistro also offers right to your front door delivery service (as opposed to having to meet the Domino’s driver at the front gate to engage in some sort of clandestine pizza-​for-​cash exchange).
In my opinion, the only thing keeping me from giving VB 5 stars are the hours. Closing at 8 during the week (9 during the summer) and 9 on the weekends is a bit early for me. Granted, the streets of Pecan tend to roll up at night earlier than most places, but even closing at 10 one night a week would satisfy a lot of late night weekend cravings.
