went to venus pie after trick or treating and the pizza and beer was phenomenal. we shared a pitcher of low tide aloha beer that paired very well with the pizza. we enjoyed the hunters pizza and a slice of hot honey pepperoni pizza. the overall stand out was the hot honey pepperoni slice. the sweet and slightly spicy honey really compliments the pepperoni and cheese. honestly my favorite pizza joint i've had. the service was good. the waitress was attentive and helpful. the ambiance was amazing as always. my son, dad, and husband really enjoyed the arcade room. very family friendly. cute kids drawings on the walls. but also at the same time very adult friendly. the main entry room is probably more adult friendly if you are just looking to go have a beer and drinks with friends and the upper room is more spacious and more kid oriented. read more

We've been coming to Venus Pie for a long time. I always labeled their pizza the best pizza in Spartanburg County. This was our first time visiting under new ownership. Overall the pizza is good. The sauce is either very similar or the same recipe as the previous owner. That was important for me. The dough might be a little different, but it's still not bad and for me that's enough. I'm not a crust person. As long as the thickness was right, I'm good. The staff is still learning their way. As I understand it the original staff could have stayed. I saw a lot of new faces. It wasn't an issue at all. They're friendly. Time will tell if I like this change. read more

Pizza was dry. I live a block away so it should have been delivered HOT! And there was a lack of sauce. Must have been a bad night. Previous orders were perfect read more

I've really been craving a real New York style pizza. Venus Pie is as good as it gets in Spartanburg. I've gone here since it was "Patelli's Pizza in the 80's. Nice big foldable slices with a crust that's just crispy enough and the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. Just try to ignore the condition of the building or get take out like we did. read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - Large Cheese Pizza 18" + Pepperoni & Green Olives - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Venus is a cool local spot visually. The staff is nice. The seating is meant to fit people in and if you like that it's good. The pizza itself wasn't anything special but the portions are. The slices are HUGE. I wanted a margarita pizza but that was not an option (no fresh basil) so I went with cheese. You can't really mess a cheese pizza up but it certainly doesn't wow. read more

Great Vibe. Pizzeria, family dining and an Arcade. Nice staff and very friendly waitress. The place was clean and busy, as it was the start of a Friday Night. We ordered a 16 inch well done with half pepperoni. I ordered a beer and my son had a soda. The pizza came out in a timely manner, but was not well done. Maybe needed another 5 or 6 minutes more in the oven. The Pizza was unevenly stretched with pouffier thicker sides and thinner slices. I felt the amount of cheese was that of an extra cheese pie. Also Very thick and somewhat dry. Low moisture cheese can do that. The sauce was a little over seasoned and sweet. All in I gave it a 6.5. My review for the new spot in town was a 7.4 for a comparison. I will go back and try again, descent for the area I guess... read more

We ordered a few pizzas to go and the pepperoni was 8/10 (which is pretty good based on my standards). It could've been crispier and had a bit more tomato sauce but to each their own. They provided a copious amount of ranch, which is a major plus. read more

Pizza wasn't what I expected but not bad for the first time going there. I had my hopes to high on pizza that I should've looked at the menu first. Price a little high for 1 fountain drink and 2 slices but customer service wasn't bad. The young lady was pretty polite. read more

lived here all my life always wanted to try Venus pizza about. I finally did... with the date.. gave my order to some serious bong smokers. they gave us a couple of beers ..... never to be heard from again... I walked up ask where the pizza was. After about five minutes of everybody looking at each other. they hadn't even started making it after 30 minutes later. they totally forgot about the order or whatever they do back there. From the actions I can assume they partake. Too bad. We left read more

The food and service was amazing. It's really cool you can see them making the Pizzas. The server was excellent and we got the hula pizza, they also offer a gluten free crust which is great if you're gluten friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

So........Venus Pie has been a go to place for us for many years. However within the past few months something has happened that has cause there to be a serious decline in service and food selection. In the past three weeks have tried to eat there three times and twice there was signs on the door saying no slices and one sign said be good to _________, he is having to work in the kitchen. Tonight asked if they had slices and was once again told, sorry we don't have slices. Is it really that hard to make slices????? I line the pizza but I'm not coming back for a while. Hopefully they will regroup and get their act together. read more

This pizza joint did not disappoint. My son loved the pinball machines and pizza. We had a half and half xl pizza order. read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - Half and half The Hula Pizza - Large 18" - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Pizza exceeded expectations in every way. My wife and I got the "Colonel" (medium) for two of us. We ended up taking half of it home. Fresh filled cannolis were a perfect ending to the food we ordered. Very family friendly ambiance with plenty of room for larger groups. Service was excellent even though they were very busy. We each got a glass of red wine and it was very nice but the pour was a bit shy. Small issue... overall we cannot wait to go back and enjoy the pizza and Cannolis again! read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - Cheese pizza Venus Pie - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

OMG!!! I almost don't want to review this because I want to keep it a secret This pizza is amazing- beyond amazing. It's absolutely New York style. The dough is fresh and thin and crispy on the bottom. I don't like to put my leftover pizza in the fridge and I leave the box in the oven. When I heat it up the next day that dough tastes as fresh as the day they make it. The marinara is amazing. The vibe feels kind of 80's but in a really fun way. It's busy, but worth the wait. The staff is busy, but they hustle and they are very accommodating. Don't go to this place! It's my little slice of heaven! read more

I just left there at 3:25-3:30pm and today is 9-20-2025. The kind of heavy set waitress was very rude and kept making little remarks. I ordered an anchovi pizza and she made a rude remark saying something about me loving little fishy's swimming in my pizza, which made it sound very gross. She was just rude altogether and I really got the vibe that she thinks that just because we were black that we wouldn't tip so that's why we didn't get the best of service..it was weird, she was weird and we really love Venus Pizza, but she was not friendly and kept making remarks and gave my date his food first and made me wait 10 min after then gave him a refill first and not me when me and him had the same drink. I didn't get a refill until the last minute. Terrible service. I shouldn't have been treated poorly because of my skin color (because I got the vibe that she is a racist) and I still tipped her $10...and I'm a real reviewer 39K following on TikTok @winternickismith ...your waitress is trash, take accountability read more

This spot is a very relaxed pizza place. We have gotten full size pizzas before and the breadsticks usually but also the pizza slices . if you go here PLEASE KNOW the slices are HUGE. Absolutely huge. They do not inform you of this. I haven't seen it on the menu but I may have missed it. I ordered two slices and I was just absolutely shocked. Most of the time the crust is a little burnt but sometimes it's perfect so it is just a hit or miss. Overall it's a good pizza place just not my favorite. The staff is pretty friendly. Sometimes they may also be busy on weekend nights. read more

The food is absolutely fantastic, hand tossed crust baked to perfection, combined with a nice balance of sauce, herbs, and spices. The single slice pizzas are almost the size of a medium pizza by themselves, the cheese bread is to die for, and the calzones are simply amazing. Your initial reaction will be jaw-dropping as you behold this marvelous masterpiece handed to you as you ponder how many meals you may get out of this. The calzone almost doesn't fit in the box The service has always been friendly and hard-working. The ambiance is warming, always full of life, and activity, with a variety of seating arrangements available ranging from a single stool at the bar, a booth or table for the family, and a large side room available for even larger parties. I would love to give this place 5 stars, as they are just so good, this comes with a single drawback, they are overly busy with orders which means you may not be able to place an online order, or phone order, you may end up in line outside waiting to get in and you may end up having to wait an hour for food, afyer you have managed to place the order. The food is worth the wait, just plan ahead if you are on a tight schedule. read more

Not a bad pizza place. I've noticed that a lot of restaurants in downtown are not the cleanest but I trust this restaurant due to its long history of good food. (plus their A rating). I ordered a slice and boy was it huge. It was the perfect amount of food for me. The servers were very kind and offered refills when running low. Overall I believe it's a good place to have on your list of good places to eat. read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - One pizza slice. - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

This pizza place is so good! There's three big dining rooms. The pizzas are huge! The cheese and sauce are delicious. It needed some herbs in the cheese but still good through. The salads are also very fresh and tasty and are nice and big. Definitely found our new pizza shop! read more

Super groovy place. The moment you walk into the door it feels like a step back in time. Love the building. Waitresses and chefs greet you with a smile and welcome you inside. Plenty of pizza toppings to choose from and great selection of different drinks. It feels like a place for friends. Also the cannoli is awesome. I will be back when I'm in the neighborhood again. read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - Cheese Pizza by the Slice - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I am so tired of hearing the whole "NY pizza" thing around here. If you think this is even close to NY pizza, you are absolutely clueless. It's horrible. The ingredients they use are cheap garbage, and the pizza is thrown together with zero skill or concern. It's dried out within minutes of coming out of the oven. It is barely edible at best. Their obvious claim to fame is that the slices appear to be real big. However, they are paper thin, so who cares. Also, the place is a run down hole in the wall. Nothing is kept up, and even the staff are dressed like careless zombies. The only thing good about this place, is that they do sell by the slice, however, it cost $10.02 for two slices... WTF? Overpriced crap! read more

The PIZZA is off the chain! Seriously, may the best in the Upstate! Good service, cool place. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Best Pizza. Don't waste your time with the chain pizza places. This is the real deal. read more

I'll preface this with, I had mediocre expectations.... I ordered online for carryout with no issues, friendly staff that were quick and friendly in checking me out. Now onto the pizza... Sauce to cheese to dough to topping ratio was perfect! The flavors were WOW. Fresh veggies, deliciously seasoned sauce with a perfect dough- the right amount of air bubbles, just chewy enough...all around YUM. As far as pizza spots in Spartanburg, this has jumped to the top of my list, with pi-squared still in the lead. 10/10 recommend! read more

Cool atmosphere, nice beer selection and great thin crust ny style pizza! Friendly staff!!!!!

Super slow service. Waited over an hour and a half just to get few slices of pizza. Never coming back here again. Came here while it was bright outside. Left it was pitch dark. They need to fire these slow as people read more

Ordered 2 slices, and it took 30 minutes to come out. Not a whole pie, but SLICES. Appeared burned to a crisp. To their credit, they offered to "redo them on the fly". They call a 30 minute wait for slices "on the fly"? When replacements showed up, still burned but at least edible. Dry, not good. Big slices but thin as paper with almost zero sauce. Bill came - 28 bucks for 2 slices, one ice tea, and one Twisted Tea (the 28 includes tip). Insane. Wont' be back, ever. read more

This is far and away the best pizza in spartanburg. Great service and curated beer selection. It's a dive and it seems like business is picking up and as a result service times are ticking up, but it's worth the wait. read more

I was under the impression that I would be enjoying a great close to tasting New York style pizza, boy was I wrong.I would have just done better going to our old stand by Marcos pizza. To us this pizza sucked!!! The crust was burned and had no taste, it was way to thin and the cheese and toppings were non-extant.I tipped $4.00 for this crappy pizza. I requested and paid $1.40 for each topping requested, black olives, mushrooms and sausage. Where the heck were they on this non-extant cheese pizza? We ate a couple of slices and trashed the rest. Never going back!!!! I called and spoke to Jessica, who said she was the manager. I made a complaint about my pizza order.She was supposed to get back to me about my complaint, but never did. read more

Venus Pie Pizzeria - This is the pizza I received from Venus pizza? - Pizza Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

The other day, I was in the mood for pizza, which doesn't happen often, so I ordered the Gatherer (medium), and a small Spinner salad for later. I like to support small, local restaurants, and I've driven by this place many, many times. Why not give it a try, right? I'm just not sure where to begin. When you order their "specialty" pizzas, you can't make substitutions. I do get it; a specialty pizza is a specialty pizza. So subs on individual ingredients change the whole thing. That said, the Gatherer pizza cries out for a WHITE sauce; the red sauce is too seasoned, and too sweet, for the artichokes, etc., on the pie. It's very jarring. Changing the sauce is not a huge deal, and an easy thing to accommodate. The red sauce on the pizza absolutely ruined it for me. It drowned out every single other flavor. That thin and crispy crust? Try tough and chewy. Doughy, even. Basically inedible. They must get a huge discount on banana peppers. Way too many on the pizza and in the salad. In my salad, I had one thin, half-slice of tomato. Lots of black olives, but no mushrooms. I had a single quarter chunk of artichoke; I had a ton of banana peppers though. Not good. No balance. I paid $5.50 for a salad that was small and badly made. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and I guess, in the end, that's okay. Because I won't be ordering anything from Venus Pie Pizzeria ever again. First strike, you're out. read more

From the outside this place almost looks as if it is never busy but once you go inside you get a rude awakening. This is most definitely a live place with a cool atmosphere that will appeal to all ages and classes of people. The only recommendations that I will give here is dont order a whole pizza just order you a slice with your favorite topping and dig in because the size of a single slice is a conversational slice to begin with then once you get your first taste then your hook. The flavor is unique and very very good. The second best thing is the awesome price, my family of five can eat with drinks all for 40 bucks and still have food left over. And the greatest thing is that this place isnt a big chain store its locally owned and operated with very polite employees who are extremely accommodating to each customer without a doubt will always make sure your given the best service around. My only complaint is I wish they opened a little earlier because I work close by and because I go to work so early my lunch begins at 1030 and this place opens at 11 read more

Sort of a hole in the wall but the food is always great and the staff is friendly. Thin crust style pizza. Love their house salad dressing.

Love this funky place and will totally return!!! The staff was super friendly. I recently moved from outta state and I have multicolored hair (blues and purples), I get stink eye wherever I go. Not only did I not get stink eye but a server also had a color and we got to talkin and even sharing photos on our phones of other colors (it wasn't busy in there). Their sweet tea wasn't up to par and I said something, one of the staff tried it, crinkled her nose and added more sugar lol, it was adorable and funny as heck. The kitchen is open so you can watch them throw the dough around which the friend with me had never gotten to see before. The pie was made to perfection and the crust had almost a sweetness to it. I was glad to bring 2 slices home to have more the next day. I saw a calzone leave the kitchen and my gawd it was huge. This is a must do no doubt. read more
