Venice Pizza House

Using fresh ingredients, they craft exceptionally good pizza. The balance of toppings is just right, avoiding an excess of cheese – and I'm a cheese lover! Their wings are also remarkably tasty. A thoughtful touch I appreciated was the seal/sticker on the pizza box, ensuring no peeking during delivery. This was a great idea, and it was my first time encountering it in pizza delivery.

Still The BEST pizza house and Italian restaurant since 1954!!! A classic spot in the heart of San Diego where the high quality delicious food, comforting atmosphere, fair prices, and exceptional customer service keeps me coming back! Their lunch specials are stellar deals and their pizza is famous for fresh ingredients and the perfect crust! I was nearly heartbroken at the potential of them closing after the pandemic, but the love from the town pitched in and their reputation kept them alive!! If you're a pizza fan, this place is a gem that will give you great memories for a lifetime. I always get the lasagna dinner, a hefty serving of ooey-gooey cheesy meaty saucy deliciousness served in a bubbling hot casserole dish, it's definitely a crowd pleaser and a filling comfort dish. The salad with their homemade Italian dressing is STILL the best around - I always ask for an extra serving cup to take home ;) And, once again, the pizza is phenomenal here!! The crust is perfect thickness and crispness! I always get the Mediterranean with artichokes - Just filling yet light enough to share and enjoy other appetizers! Of course, Still the best hospitality and customer care - quite exceptional. If you're stills reading this, debate your hoices no more - get in your car and drive on over to find ample parking and enjoy a classic most tasty meal to remember :)

Tonight we went to Venice Pizza House and didn’t actually have pizza. They had a Dinner for 2 special this week which featured a choice of appetizer or salad, two main dishes and a dessert for a special price. We chose the small antipasto salad for our starter and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve always loved Venice’s Italian dressing and it was clear that even though they have new owners that the recipes haven’t changed. For our mains we ordered the Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan dinners to split. The lasagna can be ordered with meat or veggies and we ordered with meat. It was absolutely delicious and the cheese and pasta practically melted in the mouth. The Chicken Parmesan featured two nice size pieces of chicken breast and was covered in cheese. I found it a little odd they didn’t give at least a side of spaghetti but there was so much food that it wasn’t really needed. Both meals came with garlic bread which was toasted perfectly. Last was dessert and we chose the Limoncello Cake which was moist and refreshing. We really enjoyed the entire meal. Inside the restaurant was slower than I remember from years ago when I’d dine here on Sundays but it’s possible it was just the night. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and our waiter was a young man who said his family owned the restaurant but that they still had the same cooks and nothing had changed. He was attentive and ensured we were taken care of throughout the meal. They had older sing along music on the radio and seemed to have quite a few carry outs while we were there. There is plenty of parking in back or you can try to grab street parking in front. I hope things will go well with the new owners because this restaurant has been a long time and has solid Italian food and pizzas.

Tasty spot. Glad to have tried it out finally. Stopped in on a Friday so the front desk was definitely a bit hectic and included a 45 min wait for a pizza that turned into an hour. Had no idea it was gonna be that long to begin with. Understandable though. Had a glass of wine to pass the time. Also ordered 12 wings and if I had been aware of the price of them, I probably would’ve just passed. Lastly, the ranch. As a ranch enthusiast, I was disappointed to see that they had given Kens ranch. Seeing the responses, they thrive on fresh ingredients and I would hope that the ranch would be homemade at least. Overall, pizza is really good and look forward to returning.

My dad is 88 and a self-appointed critic of Italian food. It's been a long time since I've seen him so satisfied. David, our waiter, was so patient and accommodating, even though we asked for a room to ourselves.. He never forgot us, he was patient when dad was hard to follow and friendly along the way. Dad forgot his leftovers ( expect big portions). He was quite disappointed, but when I called, Yvette moved them to the front desk so I could easily pick them up. My favorite part was the sauce. I was pleased with raviolis and sausage & dad was satisfied by spaghetti & meatballs. I often enjoy take-out sandwiches and pizza from Venice. I'm grateful they helped me give dad such an enjoyable Father's Day. I'm also thrilled this adds one more restaurant to dad's limited places he likes.

The quintessential traditional Italian restaurant. Good chicken parmigiana seasoned well, big portions. The pizza is one of the best I've had in San Diego. Perfect crust that has just the right balance and crunch when it's fresh out of the oven. Good cheese, vibrant sauce, this place is going to be my go to from now on. The clams with linguini looks great, going to try that next. Good prices, nice place to spend an hour sharing a pizza with friends.
