    I was served by Nicki Minaj!

    Placed an order to go. It was promptly ready. Good food. Great place for an informal gathering and you might even be served by a famous Rap Star!

    Simple but good food, plenty of seating, fast service, and Alfaro wines make this place a good choice for a reasonably priced meal in beautiful seascape. We ordered 2 garden salads, a steak sandwich, and veggie pizza and all were good/above average.

    Medium pepperoni pizza and house salad.

    I was worried about eating here by reading some of the reviews but we are glad we tried it. Pizza had plenty of pepperoni, crust was crispy and not overly thick. Salad had lots of great veggies and was filled to the rim. I would eat here again but try their specialty pizzas.

    Worst pizza of my life

    I don't know what the five star review people are smoking, but this place was terrible. We walked in and looked at a pizza on the table of some current customers, and I looked at my wife and she said this is gonna suck. We decided to give it a try anyway. She was right. I ordered a pizza with extra cheese and extra sauce. It came out burnt. I couldn't find any sauce there was barely any cheese. It was so salty. My tongue exploded after the first bite and we couldn't even finish a quarter of the pizza. We couldn't get out of there fast enough. Never going back. Beware. Caution.

    Good gf pizza with lots f topping options. Old school pizza place with a few arcade games so can get noisy but generally isn't.

I tried two items: - 5/5: The Machiatto is excellent. They serve 11th hour coffee. - 3/5: The Mexican chocolate pie ($8/slice) is too sweet. All I can taste is sugar.

(The meat pie and pastry we ordered were not warmed all the way, but the bagel was good) Then inside seating area was also sticky and slightly dirty looking. Our second visit was yesterday 6/20, and it sounds like we weren't the only unhappy customers based on other reviews. I'm not surprised to hear the lady in charge that morning rudely made customers leave because she "needed a reset". We asked about getting pizza around 10:45 am, which we acknowledged was early...but just asking to see what was possible. Instead of a real explanation, we got a snarky look at her watch and just an "um, noooo" with a bad attitude. If there was a real reason, like the dough wasn't ready or the oven wasn't on (it was, we could see the flames) I would understand. However, the lady was complaining to a coworker about an issue with the manager or something while we waited in line so there was already some unprofessional behavior beyond the lack of customer service. We left without getting anything at that point. We won't be back to Venus, The Pixie Deli down the street has good food and friendly service.

There were TVs everywhere and they were showing hockey, baseball, and basketball. For the food, I really enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad. It was nicely seared on the outside while still being raw on the inside. The greens with sliced ginger and dressing bring it all together. Mozzarella Sticks come with 4 large pieces. If you eat them while they're hot, you can get a pretty awesome cheese pull. These were served with marinara sauce and the appetizer was tasty. My son ordered a Chicken Pesto pizza that I was able to issue a dad tax on. I thought the pizza was solid, not spectacular. A nice chill place to hang out and watch a game.

At least 15 parties, but this gentleman was on it, filling everyone's drinks, asking for next round of alcoholic drinks, serving food, bussing tables! Fish and chips - fish was cut into smaller bite size portions rather than entire fillets (mixed opinion). It tasted good, well seasoned and crispy. Chips are the real deal -medium cut, lightly battered (Black country style), crispy, well seasoned with paprika mix. These tend to stay crisp for a long time thus providing nice accompaniment with multiple rounds of drinks. Cheesesteak - thin cut tri-tip was well done, juicy, tender meat, good amount of onions and peppers and swish cheese. All in all good local joint

The food is absolutely amazing. The pizza had a wonderfully light, airy crust -- the kind you'd find in Italy -- perfectly crisp yet soft inside. We also had the most delicious salad made with fresh arugula, shaved fennel, toasted hazelnuts, and a bright citrus dressing that tied everything together beautifully. My husband loved the stuffed mushrooms, and I really enjoyed a lovely Pinot Noir. He really liked Humble Sea German lager, which he said was fantastic. The vibe is just as great as the food. They had a DJ playing fun retro '90s favorites (some of my old favorites!) you had me at a tribe called quest. We met the new owner, Carlos -- who we had the pleasure of meeting -- told us they'll have DJs on Fridays and Saturdays. Such a fun touch! The space has an awesome collection of old books, vintage photos, and vinyl from Carlos's personal DJ collection. It gives the whole place a warm, creative, welcoming feel. We truly enjoyed the entire experience. What a great addition to our Aptos community -- this is definitely going to be our new hangout!
