Venezias New York Style Pizzeria

I’ve been to this location as well as the Tempe location. Great spot for lunch during the work week or just a quick bite. Being fairly new to AZ, this place was recommended to me by a few people at work. I’m glad that I listened. Quick service and great pizza. The slice of pizza & salad special is definitely enough to fill you up.

This place is ridiculous! One hour an thirty minute to get a pizza, sandwich and fried zucchini, On a Wednesday night… The food was cold. And they put onion on my sandwich I order specify without, do to allergies in my family. have order many times before. Even though the manager compete dinner, after I complained. We won’t be back! Very disappointed!

only pizza in area that I will gladly eat. A native new yorker, I like my pizza a certain style, and they nailed it. Good value, service, prices. All good, huge fan! I tell everyone I know, and will continue

My wife and I come here all the time for the slice of pizza and wings combo they do really good job with wings and all the different kinds of pieces I really like

The food is great.
However, customer service is –VERY POOR–
On Saturday, Jan 16, 2016, around 6:00 p.m., I called Venezia’s, was immediately placed on hold. I understand being placed on hold on a busy Saturday night, not a big deal.
However, when the female employee answered my call, she either was a trainee, or, extremely distracted because I had to repeat my name 3 times, spell it out for her twice, and she asked me for my phone number 3 times, I tried to be patient and understanding. I did not shout or rude to the kid.
The reason I am writing a formal complaint is we were told that we could pick up our order in 30 minutes. My wife went inside, waited for her turn for pick up, around 6:40 p.m. She was told by the cashier that our order was not ready and would be in 10 minutes. So, she waited another 10 minutes. Now, it is about 6:50 p.m.
She goes back inside, waits her turn for pick up, and was told that only 1 of the 2 pizzas ordered was actually made, somehow there was a ‘mistake’ and the 2^nd pizza was only placed in oven moments ago.
My wife did not make a scene, or get pissy, but, with validation she asked how this many mistakes could be possible considering how many times I repeated the order with the phone rep and when she entered the location, paid, and even tipped.
So, here she is, missing a lot of the Cardinals/​Packers playoff game, waiting for our order to be ready, already gave a 15% tip (not earned) and frustrated. She asked for the manager, explained all the details of the evening events and she was offered an $ 8.00 credit and a few «Free» Ranch dressing cups.
I am only writing this review in hopes that Venezia’s will train their phone customer service/​order taking representatives BETTER, eliminates employee distraction, and will be more accurate with their timeframe suggestions.
We don’t expect ‘money’, or, ‘Free’ pizza, or anything at all, really. I simply want to Warn anyone in our area who is wanting a Pizza, that they will be cautious when they order, and know that they may end up having a frustrating, maddening, irritating, night that accompanies their tasty food. The food is Tasty, but, the customer experience Sucked.

I placed my order over the phone. I was quoted 13.99 for a 1 topping pizza and cheese bread. Fair enough. 35 minutes to pickup on a Saturday night is reasonable. I proceed to pickup my order 35 minutes later as quoted and my order hadn’t even been started yet. I was asked to sit and wait for another 30 minutes. I declined the free water cup. I go to pay and am told that my price is $ 19+. I stated that I was told $ 14 over the phone. The young girl said «he must’ve applied the coupon» so she did match. I end up paying $ 16+.
Pizza is decent but they aren’t organized and this was my first ever trip as I just moved from FL. I’ll be looking for better local pizza and would recommend you do the same. What a shame.

The pizza and salad’s are good, but the chicken wings are a ripoff. For $ 8.99 you get 1 «order» of wings which can vary based on «market prices». LOL! It’s chicken not lobsters!
I barely got 6 wings. Give me a dozen for $ 8.99 or forget it. I can buy 2 dozen uncooked wings at the supermarket for $ 8.99 and make them myself.

My problem with Venezias is they’re so unpredictable! About once every 3 times ordering their food is great, which is why we’ve continued to order. However, the other 66% of the time the food is either cold, tastes like it’s been sitting for hours, or my favorite and most common mistake — food is missing! Almost every time I order a chicken ceaser salad they charge for the chicken but forget to include it. They will credit my $ 3 but that doesn’t do me any good… the chicken is really the only reason I agree to let my husband get pizza from there when we want delivery! So, we probably won’t be taking the chance on them anymore… too bad they can’t get their management team to crack down and make sure production isn’t lacking.

The pizza here is really good! There was four of us, so we got the largest pizza they had with pepperoni and sausage! The pizza crust was thin and flimsy– just the way I like it! I was able to eat three slices. When I come back to Mesa, I’ll definitely come back here! Once you find a good pizzeria, you stick with it!

I’ve been looking to try this place ever since Ray’s pizza closed and another place very close by which has been my substitute was closed.
First, this is not hand tossed pizza — it is pretty much the same pizza you get at Domino’s, Little Caesars and the like. It’s pressed dough, not foldable, and just doesn’t distinguish itself from any other local pizza place. I was very disappointed as I drove past three other places to try this New York Style pizza.
Perhaps I’m being overly critical — technically, the store name is New York Style «Pizzeria.» So maybe I shouldn’t have expected New York style pizza.
Ironically the other pizza place very close by says nothing about it’s pizza being New York style — but it’s a lot closer than Venezias, and I highly recommend it.

I love their Italian stallion pizza! My husband like their wings too. They also have a really large delivery area as compared to other places.

This is the best pizza hands down. I’ve traveled all across this globe and have found that Venezia’s is the best. Even beats all pizza I’ve ever eaten in my 10+ trips to Italy. I recommend it all day long!

I have had their pizza and wings many times and always loved. This is the first time I got a large «margarita pizza «but we were left desiring a little more than a pie with sauce .a couple spots of cheese.6 pieces of basil and a few small slices of tomato’s I paid extra for. This pizza reminded me of someone who only that a few ingredients left in the fridge and decided to use them before they opened more.
I know they employee younger people so maybe the person who made the pizza had a teenager moment but not worth $ 15.

I’m from out of town and the first time I’ve eaten here. I ordered thru grub hub the ordering and delivery where decent.
Both my daughter and I ordered the meat lasagna and each had a salad.
We both thought there was way too much cheese we both ended up getting sick. We got really bad stomach issues and vomit sensations. Never going thru them again

Great delivery service!
Great pizzas! We order a «custom» pie every time and they always get it right!
Great mild wings!

Had take out last night and although the pizza was pretty good (not great as so often proclaimed), the desserts are what I’m reviewing.
Being from New York and having real Italian delis to shop at, I came to love a true Cannoli! THIS PLACE DOES NOT HIT THE MARK!
As you can see in the picture it wasn’t even filled correctly. The center was hollow and it’s the filling that makes it so perfect. This cannoli was lame. At about $ 3.50 for 1, I would at least expect it to be made correctly. The taste was good, but again, not great. Big disappointment.
Pizza = pretty good
Dessert = waste of money

I would like to start off by saying I have been to NYC many times. This is not «New York style» pizza IMO.
We ordered spaghetti and meatballs which was mediocre at best, cheeses sticks that were average, and a large pizza that was OK.
If you really are looking for NY style pizza… Casanova Brothers pizza is fantastic and is the closest I’ve found in this area so far.

I am not ready to say it’s my favorite pizza ever but it IS very good pizza. And their party size is HUGE. We get this pizza for take-​out regularly and choose it over the other options within about a 2 mile radius. Sauce has good flavor, good amount of cheese, generous with the toppings, all good. Found out last time we went in that they have cannoli’s that are molto fantastico! All in all, a great place to have around the corner.

Until I stopped eating out so much, I ate here at least once a week. Now it’s once every few weeks. This store has great staff — manager Chad is the bomb! The recent remodel expanded their seating, and it’s easy to see why the other neighborhood pizza spots have closed down or struggled. The pizza and pasta here are great, the wings are very good and the sandwiches (while pricey) are outstanding.
I have several out-​of-​state visitors each year and we never fail to stop at Venezias for a slice special. If they are lucky enough to hit the spot at the start of their visit, they always get in another meal before heading back home. If they don’t go until shortly before their departure, they ask me, «hey! why didn’t you take us here sooner!»

Venezias makes delicious food — that’s why I keep going back, and if that was the subject of this review, they would get at least a 4. Unfortunately, this review is the result of the past three to go orders this year being fulfilled incorrectly.
I’m not sure if their employees don’t care or maybe some are a part of an illiteracy hiring program, but it’s getting to be ridiculous (if it will allow me to attach a picture, I will).
My most recent order was for a turkey sub on whole wheat, no onions and with a side of italian dressing. When my husband went to pick it up, I asked him to double check that they included the dressing because the last two times they forgot. I’m glad that I did, because it wasn’t included (again).
Then, when he got home we discovered that they gave him a turkey on white, with onions and taped to it was a receipt in large print: Italian [dressing], wheat [bread], no onions.
First world problems, I know. «My delicious food isn’t what I ordered.»
I may still order from them, but I do hope in the future they give READING THE ORDER the old college try.
