This is def a go-to spot if you're looking for some authentic slices, pies, calzones or pasta! Food is always fresh and hot. You also get your moneys worth. The owners are extremely nice and hard working. They've been at this for YEARS and they have it down. You can eat in where it feels just like a small town pizzeria which is nice. I will say, their calzones are probably my favorite and they are HUGE so be warned you WILL have leftovers. Stop in and grab a slice, be sure to talk to them as well. They're good people. read more

This might be the best pizza spot in Lancaster. I haven't been here in over 20 years, and everything is still top quality. From the pizza to the subs. One of the standouts for me, that I never had before from here, is the tomato pie, Sicilian style. I highly recommend it, especially for the people who can't do dairy like that. read more

Venice Pizza & Pasta - The tomato pie with Sicilian crust. - Pizza Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Great pizza!!!!!!! I haven't had a pizza that was that good since my days in NYC. Definitely worth a try folks

BAM!! Bellissimo!! This place is the best pizza I've had in Lancaster! We ordered two large pizzas to go for company we had in town and they were just beautiful pizzas with thin crust that had a perfect amount of ingredients on them and plenty of cheese. We ordered the meat lovers with jalapeños and all the meat was on the sauce under the cheese, with the jalapeños on top. That made it fantastic and the meat didn't fall off! My wife had the vegetarian with her sister in law with spinach and pepperoni added to it and they really loved it. Lots of lip smacking good eating! We got 8 of the herb and olive oil bread knot too!. The pizzas were ready exactly when they said they would be and the service was super. The ambience is nice and the place is spotless clean. They also have 6 and 12 packs of many good beers in the stand up coolers to take with! Folks, I'm telling you this it's the place for amazing pizza! Try it you'll like it! read more

First time here and it was a very good experience. The Hawaiian pizza was loaded and delicious. The tuna salad was excellent. Had sweet peppers in it which was something different for me. The Italian dressing was homemade and perfect. Service was good too. There's tables inside which were accommodating. We'll be back. read more

Food is good, but menu prices are not accurate to online menu. Large create your own stromboli with three toppings was over $40 when it says $28 online. Very disappointed for that reason. read more

Great customer service! We called in a fairly large order to pick up, they gave us an approximate pick up time 30 minutes. Pizza was hot and fresh right out of the oven just to our liking at exactly the 30 minute mark. We ordered Sicilian and regular large cheese pies, and two dozen garlic knots. Very very garlicky and lots of oil, delicious. The Sicilian was very bready (dense like), not a bad thing but notable. They are were attentive upon entry and even helped us carry it to the car. Seems like a classic pizza place and they were definitely busy, a for sure sign of a great spot. Fair pricing as well! read more

No frills restaurant. Tables and Chairs are 1 piece like old school nyc pizzerias. Owners are Egyptian and Georgian and are friendly folks. They were so nice even though we got there 30mins before closing and ordered 4 pizzas to go. They didn't rush us and even politely place the pizza aside while our group finished a pitcher of beer. Pizzas are NYC style. Not bad for PA. They sell pitchers of beer and Adult slushy. read more

In my personal opinion, they have some of the best options as far as pizza. The sausage is the flat sausage style opposed to many crumbled variations that we see around here. They have unique options such as seafood pizza (crab, shrimp, scallops in garlic sauce) and more! Highly recommended. read more

So yummy!!!! My husband and I enjoyed it the last time we ate there. Service was great and ambiance was awesome as well!

Best pizza and egg plant Parmesan dinner. Good value for your money and a very reliable place.

We ordered three subs and the sub itself was not bad at all but they missed some items on our subs. The service when I called was good and prompt even though they were having electricity issues. Our order was completed in time and I picked it up with no issues. I'd rather go to two cousins for subs but they did not answer. Overall not a bad place it was clean and ok food just nothing special. read more

This place has great food. We've known the owners for quite sometime now, so we always know we're going to get the best of service. The place can be a bit busy on a Friday night, but if you go around 5:00, there's usually a break before the rush. I think that this place is one of the best places to get some Italian food. So if you're in the area and you're craving some fast and good Italian food, this is the place to go! read more

Good variety of pizza along with friendly service. I've been going here for years and they consistently provide a quality product.

Good all around pizza joint. Have not yet been disappointed. Thin crust pizza. Fresh salads. Nice sized grinders. read more

Hands down the best pizza in Lancaster. I love the assorted specialty slices. The shrimp Alfredo pizza is my favorite

Verdict: Forget Arby's, Venice has the meat. A little expensive but some of the better pizza I've had in the area. Granted, I'm basing that meat comment on the Meat Lover's pizza but it was loaded. The Hawaiian pizza, Cheesesteak stromboli, and Italian stromboli were no slouches either with their ingredients and quality flavors. I liked their pizzas more than the bolis but wouldn't turn down anything from Venice. The Hawaiian pizza was my favorite of the four. There's much debate over that type of pizza so I'm sure you like it or you hate it. If you like Hawaiian style, you'll probably really like this one. read more

They close at 11 PM and I come in at 8:30 PM and the young lady is extremely rude and obnoxious. I just asked for a plain slice and she says "what you see is what you get we're not making anything else the end of the night". Very rude and the slices they had looked like garbage. Who wants broccoli on a pizza at 8:30 PM at night. I suggest they take care of their customers and make some regular good looking slices. read more

Terrible place, I am never coming back. Bad food and worse service. They actually have no redeeming qualities. I recommend going to Ninos in Millersville. It's a much better place. read more

Well, first off, I tried to handle this a different way, but after speaking to the owner who was evasive and uncooperative, and speaking to the Health Dept, apparently being exposed to a restaurant employees BLOOD is not a big deal! So, now I will share the photos of our bloody take out from the other night! You can decide if you like to eat a strangers BLOOD in your food and purchase food from a place that lies and could care less about their customers! DISGUSTED! Accidents happen but that doesn't mean it's not their responsibility! UPDATE: over a month later, still no peace of mind that my husband and I were exposed to something contagious! The owner continues to be disrespectful and outright RUDE!!! He's belittled me and raised his voice multiple times! I remind him that this was done to US and he has no regard for my husband or I consuming his employees blood! PLEASE AVOID THIS HORRIBLE PLACE!!!!!!!! read more

Simply the best! First visit left me astounded. The Calzone/Stromboli was stuffed with an aggressive amount of meat and cheese. The wings were extra crispy and the sauce was tangy and spicy. My wife really enjoyed her chicken and honey mustard sandwich. The interior tile job looks amazing! read more

I haven't been there for a while but it taste like they changed their dough recipe. Very floppy and soft bottom.

Oh yes pizzas and cheezze steaks! And also one thousand million other things. Too many choices. But it is also very average decor from the late 1990s. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The people working were very sweet. So if you happen to be here, I guess I would sort of recommend you stop by! read more

My son and I found this little gem while looking for someplace to have lunch. We had their pizza. Delicious to say the least. My son had a slice of their mushroom pizza. It was loaded and I mean loaded with fresh sliced mushrooms. I had the pepperoni. Same thing covered from tip to crust with pepperoni. Prices are extremely reasonable. Pizza was hot and tasty. Staff is friendly and extremely professional. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

The plan was to stop by on the way to a little league game in Mountville, place an order, leave to drop son off, and come back for pick up....and go eat at the game. Simple plan, right? Two problems arose...first, whoa Nellie, how can I figure out what to order, when 15 or so specialty pizzas are staring me in the face? We ordered a whole pizza-crust pizza for $11.99 (I believe), but with specialty slices with toppings including onion rings, french fries, seafood (which I've heard is amazing), and my order of BBQ chicken, I need to go back to work my way through some more of these options. We also ordered a chicken parm sandwhich, and left. Time lost to an amazing menu is a good problem. Upon return for pickup, we lost time again, but this due to a 10 minute wait for the pizza. I suppose a pretzel crust pizza may take more time to prepare, but we had given 30 minutes as is between order and pick up, so that should have been ample time. Hence, by the time we got back to Mountville, we missed out on our son's first inning of pitching. All things considered, that may have been a good thing...poor outing. Still, one star detraction for the wait time. In all, I'd say those who live near Venice are pretty fortunate. It's a bit pricey, but good things often come with a cost...pay to play, baby! I'm sure we'll be back again when passing through! read more

Great food awesome people and service. Good prices and great choices to choose from. Great selection of craft beers

The pizza here is great. I concur with the other reviews. The hidden treasures on the menu however are the cheese steaks. While not true Philly-style cheese steaks, they rock in their own way and are super nummy. Try them! As for ordering, as a regular I've got it down pat, but it can be confusing, especially if they're busy and the line is out the door. Which at the lunch and dinner rush can be quite often. My suggestion: order off-peak dining times. They're a little pricey comparatively, but you're getting great value and quality for the price. Decor is pretty standard "pizza shop in a strip center," but pay close attention to how clean and organized the place is. As soon as it slows down, the entire staff immediately moves to keep the place spotless and prepped for the next rush. Best pizza and cheese steaks in the area! read more

Venice Pizza & Pasta - Actual slice of Venice Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I'm 21 and my family has been going here since i was a little kid. The owner and his family are so kind and amazing, and so is their staff (mainly family). The food is always out of this world. If you need a pizza place to go to, Venice is always a fabulous option. read more

Beware, DIRTY, bad hygiene, and dangerous food prep! Owner is the rudest, least hospitable person. I am shocked and appalled by their lack of hygiene and food service standards at this restaurant. Avoid! read more

Greeted with warm Italian welcome... and was treated to a nice cheese steak sandwich. They had lots of pizza pies ready to buy, also, but my sandwich filled me up. read more

Very good, creative, packed high pizza. Their pizza is a little on the expensive side, very much on the unconcerned-for-your-health side, but nevertheless serves as one of the best places for pizza in Lancaster. In my opinion, its best as a place to grab a slice rather than a whole pie. Only real complaint is they aren't in the city and a late night pizza run includes a drive. read more

This is one of the few places around where you can get a really solidly delicious gluten-free pizza. They form and bake the dough on its own aluminum pan and they even give you your own pizza cutter to avoid contamination! They also offer a great selection of toppings (my favorite combo is mushrooms, fresh garlic, onions and hot peppers) and a whole-grain crust (same price as the GF crust). **If you want to grab a whole pie, make sure you check out their website first for some serious coupons!! read more

This place has awesome pizza. We ordered from here on New Year's Eve, and went to pick it up. The guy who took my order over the phone didn't give me a confirmation number or even ask for my name. So when I got there and was asked for the number, I had none and they looked annoyed with me. I'm overlooking that though, since they were quite busy. The kid who rang me up could not have been more than 12 years old - guess it's a family place ;) We just ordered a large cheese pizza, and it was very tasty. Good amount of cheese, flavorful sauce, and not too much dough. I wish they had this place down in Florida - I'd be a regular customer! But it's nice to know there's really good pizza in Lancaster - I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Still my "go to" even though the Doc says I have to watch what I eat more carefully. Now I sometimes order a Chef Salad and I feel that is a great value... no skimping on the meats and cheese. If I have a craving for just a single slice there's always a variety to choose from. Be sure to download their new app!! It has a variety of coupons and a punchcard for frequent pizza purchasers. read more

Great food, I've enjoyed every meal I've had here. Busy place, but they keep up well with the crowds. And it's busy because it's good. Some of the best pizza in the area, and good rolls for the steaks too. A nice varied menu, excellent displays of food behind the glass, and friendly helpful staff. Prices are reasonable, good portions. read more

Excellent quality. Cost is higher than most but you can tell where the money is going by the top quality food. Hawiian pizza to die for, one of the few places to offer Canadian bacon on a pie. Sandwiches are amazing with excellent bread and great meats, veggies, and cheeses. read more

Pretty good pizza! When I go to a pizza shop for the first time, I always get pizza and save the other stuff for another visit. So next time Ill get pasta. ---------- FOOD: I got 2 slices with mushrooms and a coke. This is my standard test for a pizza shop. I was surprised at how good they are. Granted, Ive had better, but Ive also had far worse. Usually slices are overdone since they are cooked a couple of times since it was raw dough, but these were pretty good. DECOR: Its your standard pizza shop feel. Laminated wood booths, pizza behind some glass, italian paintings on the wall. Its a nice clean place with lots of space (even tho it doesnt seem like it at first). SERVICE: It was a bit confusing as to where to stand. A girl was down here taking orders, a guy was up there ringing you up and taking your drink order. For a first timer I wasnt to into the spin around in circles idea of ordering. As for wait staff, there isnt any. They wont wait on your table, but they will bring your food out to you. How they keep track of that when its really busy I have no idea. ---------- FINAL THOUGHT: Yeah, Ill go back. It was good. Ill put it in my top 3 recommended local pizza places. read more

We're pretty big fans of Venice. Good pizza, lots of variety, and friendly staff. If you order a pizza cooked fresh it is always great. If you get a slice from the pizza's on display, the crust will be a bit crispy from the reheat. I'm not bothered but my brother-in-law thought it was too crispy. Great soups - just a bit salty on the crab bisque but still very tasty. Salads and sandwiches are good too. I've had the greek salad and the chicken cheese steak sandwich. Price is worth the "better than domino's" quality you'll get! read more

Super selection! Many choices of pizza. plus many other Italian dishes. We just grabbed a couple of slices, quick service. Unique choices. thanks! read more
