Pizza Villa

*Follow the link below to see the menu!!!*
After living in Merced for years my Dad wanted to try out Pizza Villa which he’s seen so many times on his way from 7 – 11.
The Good:
–You know… I get this place. Or at least I want to think I do. It’s a Merced institution. More than a couple of generations have eaten here so they must be doing something right. I like the vibe. It’s for families, friends, and a «third home» for good eats.
–The Pizza tastes fresh, the crust is nice and flavorful with that bit of crunch and these pies have a distinct taste unlike chain stores.
The Bad:
–Couldn’t find a menu online anywhere. I’ve linked an album of the menu above.
–A bit pricey… but whatever. The Pizza’s pretty good.

Maybe I have just always been lucky because I have never had a bad experience here. I have literally been eating Pizza Villa since the womb and I absolutely love it. Sure, the décor could use an update, but I kinda like a old cozy feel I’ve become accustomed to growing in this area and on this pizza. I have never gotten delivery from here so I can’t comment on that, but when I dine in or carry out the my food is always out in a timely manner and hot. And the salad bar is always fresh, which is not something I can say about many salad bars at other joints. I do not hesitate to recommend this pizza joint to anyone. Even with the less than stellar reviews I would encourage anyone who hasn’t to stop in and try it for themselves.

Ok I have read many reviews about this place. You people are crazy. This place really sucks. Everytime I order pizza there I get burnt crust. Its absolutely nasty. The service is horrible. One lady takes my order both times and she is very unfriendly and scary looking. So they tape the box so that say u dont see the burnt crust. Im very disappointed with this place and I will never go back. Its also over prices. $ 29.00 for a large pepperoni and 3 garloc sticks. Absolutely not worth it. They need better customer service and upgrade the uniforms. Those are very oldish. Put some fun in that place. It looks plain. I hope these people that read this know Ive been very unhappy 3 times. Such a shame. I will go back when its better food and more energetic.

6÷4÷2016 — this was the worst pizza I have ever had from PV by far since 1970! I ordered a Hawaiian with ½ pepperoni and ½ ham — the girl on the phone must have been having a bad day — that or she is a total moron. It took at least three times repeating my order — and when the pizza finally arrived — it was nothing like I ordered — it was ½ pineapple and ½ Canadian bacon and pepperoni. Obviously — the girl could not listen, or write my order correctly. My pizza was cold, and disgusting — who the hell wants to eat pineapple pizza??? After eating PV pizza for so many years — I hesitate to order again.

Took 30 minutes to get my pizza. Looked and tasted like frozen supermarket pizza. Not impressed.

We are regulars for pizza here! The pizza is the best in Merced! Soo delicious, but be prepared to pay for what you get. A little expensive but worth every penny. Highly recommend!

This is fine for greasy pizza. However, the prices are pretty steep for what you get. I also find the crust pretty bland and over done. Overall, I am just not a fan and simply cannot understand all of the high ratings.

We’ve enjoyed pizza villa for over 45 years. The flavor of the pizza is original and delicious! The place is spotless throughout and the staff are always diligent in their service. Thanks Andy for the many years you’ve provided an amazing pizza experience!

Yummy! Great find thanks to Unilocal.We enjoyed the pizza and the atmosphere was great for our family. I like trying local type eateries. Was affordably priced.

I see alot of people rate this place 4 to 5 stars maybe I have to dine inn. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza for delivery the lady who took my order put me on hold for over 5 minutes then told me the pizza would arrive between 45 to an hour. One hour and 10 minute’s passed finally the pizza showed up. The pizza was cold had to microwave it to reheat it. Then they forgot my hot peppers and cheese packets which I made clear to make sure they had. The pizza was ok not the greatest. Tip for business don’t take so long to deliver. Next time il just stick to Tary Boscolo’s in Atwater well worth the drive.

Okay this place is great… I absolutely love the pizza here. We come here often… The cookies here are my favorite. The people working here are very Friendly and family oriented… We will continue to come here.

Awful. No online menu or at least what pulls up is not theirs. Our first delivery order to anyone in Merced since we moved here in 9 months and i am not happy. Even their menu that i requested they bring with $ 26 lg pizza is incorrect. Logo shows chicken yet not in actual menu? Must’ve changed owners? Sorry but i’ll stick with Pinochios

I really enjoyed the pizza here. It’s delicious. Overpriced, but worth the flavor and shopping locally… My only issue with the place is the owner. I actually stopped going there for that reason. I feel terrible for the kids working there, None seem happy. he chews them out in front of customers, he micro manages, and always has a grumpy face… That is not a place I want to sit with friends, laugh and enjoy myself.

Pizza villa has been around since I was a child! My dad use to bring me here all the time! This is one place in Merced I truly enjoy, and honestly the only place I eat pizza. It’s fresh, clean, the salad bar is amazing! I oy do delivery now and I always get my pizza when they tell me I will. The drivers are nice and friendly I normally always tip! Just overal a great business. Thank you Andy for running such a great pizza shop!

World best pizza place! Have been eating here for years!!! Great family atmosphere! I highly recommend to anyone wanting a good pizza!!!

I grew up on going to Pizza Villa after the football games when I was a kid. That was at his old location no matter where I’ve been I cannot find a better tasting pizza than PV. I have moved away since 1983 and every time I come home for a visit I have to have PV the best ever. No one can even come close. That’s 100% truth people.

Best pizza in Merced! If you come on Friday or Saturday nights, make sure to come in early!

Absolutely the best pizza in Merced. To bad the dine in area isn’t updated and close on Mondays. Nevertheless the pizza is to die for.

I felt like we were stuck in a time warp at this place! The wood paneling and one old TV probably looked nice in the 1980’s. The salad bar setup is not convenient… metal lids on everything so you have to look under each one to find what you want. SALAD BAR IS ONLY ONE SERVING PER PURCHASE and you’re only given a small bowl.
It felt like we were being watched to make sure we didn’t go back for more! The owner questioned my request for a cup to serve my dressing on the side– I was almost charged $ 1 because it was an additional item.
The staff looked miserable and the OWNER appeared to be walking around MICRO MANAGING everything.
You can tell he’s a penny pincher and the prices are high because of it ($ 20 for 2 topping large!)
We had the 3 — person dinner special (med. 2 topping, 3 salads, pitcher of soda) for about $ 30.
The pizza is ok, NOTHING GREAT. I will save my money and go to Costco for a much bigger $ 10 pizza next time. Usually these mom and pop places have an environment or awesome food that gives people a reason to go there and spend the money, but this place definitely doesn’t have either!

I saw alot of positive reviews so I thought I’d give the place a shot. I ordered a small pepperoni and I’d say I’m one of the reviews that got their pizza abit burnt.
The overall sensation as you bite into your slightly over priced slice of pizza is dissatisfaction. You can feel the hot mess of tomato sauce with a lack of cheese and pepperoni. The crust feels like a tectonic plate and overpowers the taste of the pizza.
It’s more like a burnt tostada with tomato sauce sprinkled with cheese, they throw in a scarce amount of pepperoni slices then sprinkle a bit more cheese. They obviously think they are sly enough to pull this off but they’re not.
What kind of pizza is this?
Well, its slightly better than Little Ceasers but not by much. A wise man once said I’d rather have one dollar from a hundred people rather than $ 100 dollars from one person.
I don’t know who runs the place but the values of a hearty American pizza are not found here. I didn’t appreciate how they tried to cut corners. And they wont be seeing my monies ever again.
Many people like my self are enamored with pizza, food of the gods, and I must say there are only two places that I have experienced that have consistently made my experience worthwhile each and every time:
–D’bonnies Pizza located in Escalon, Ca
It’s been in business for many many many years and it is family owned. Any pizza that you order will be delicious and will fill you up like a barrel. They also cook up exquisite burgers.
–Pleasure Point Pizza in Santa Cruz, Ca
Please don’t get it mistaken with Plasure pizza a new rip-​off joint placed about 500ft away. Don’t go there. The place you want shares a building next to a liquor store. I’ve been eating there for many years and I love it, I love it.
I highly recommend these joints and although my pizza sucked I must admit I did have fun at the place. The bathroom door gets jammed so you gotta push real hard, I decided to go for a kick. That was fun.
