VENICE PIZZA

Super delicious!! Ordered delivery our 1st night in Boston. Super impressed.

I honestly have to say I wasn’t expecting to give 5 stars at a pizza place that has been around me all my life and was there way before the renovations. I hadn’t been there really before the renovations and my view of the restaurant was based on the old one but it had the SAME name so I never went to try it again. Especially considering the neighborhood was somewhat bad for awhile(and still is). But seriously, they have done a lot and it shows especially in their food. The mashed potato pizza I got was delicious. My only complaint is the customer service, they lack workers so it’s hard for them to tend to customers especially if their working on a detailed order at the moment. They are all well trained though and watch the food the entire time and once they complete the task to their perfection then they help you. I think if they just find a good cashier it would help immensely instead of a cook as I saw their job posting and the hours weren’t that great only amounted to ~31 hours a week. Lastly, it was a warm day but it was way too cold in the lobby. I suggest bringing another layer.

Not worth the price. I would been better to get a frozen pizza from the market, the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. Not a bit appetizing. Also the “garlic knots” are just carved out French bread with a few cloves stuck inside. Disappointing.

Had driven by this place a few times on my way home from work and the exterior had caught my attention. Always on the lookout for a go to pizza spot and I’m glad I was able to finally go in. After reading some of the reviews I was quickly able to see why some people had given it low ratings. These were people with limited understanding of what good pizza entails. When something is good, the last thing you do is water it down. In this case, thin crust pizza should be limited to 1-2 toppings MAX. My preference is always to just eat a plain cheese or margarita to get a true idea of the quality of the base ingredients We had two slices of cheese ($5 each) but huge. The slice held its form and did not flop. It was crispy, tasty, and not too greasy. My only complaint would be that the sauce lacked tang and flavor but it will still a great slice. Boston does not have many legit pizza spots and pales in comparison to NYC, New Haven, and many other east coast cities. Venice pizza is close to that NYC level and I can see them getting to it with a couple more adjustments. I’ll 100% be back

Freshly re-opened and hopefully sticking around for a long time. We ordered the wings which were SUPER crispy and really well cooked. The dry rub was good and a bit of lemon with them was great. The pizza was thin crust and very flavorful - we had the Alsatian and loved the combination of meats, caramelized onions, and white cheese. We also had a chicken parm sub with basil, and it was really flavorful - total cost for dinner was around $40 - so not too cheap, but not crazy. A great dinner spot and excited to have them back in business.

Delicious pizza. Chicken tenders are great too.

BOMB CITY!! Can’t wait to go back. Everyone needs to try ASAP.

Best pizza in DOT and it’s not even close. Just a great thin crust pie with fresh ingredients. The crazy thing is their subs are even better than their pizza. Great wings/apps/ etc. too. Big portions. Everything on the menu is worth trying. I go here 1-2 times a week. Staff is awesome, super friendly with good service. Give it a go, you will love it!!

Sandwiches are the sleeper star of this pizza restaurant. We tried the chicken Calabrian and the Italian and they were both delicious!

The pizza place offers consistently good quality pies with a solid menu. Ingredients are fresh and shine through each bite. Highly recommended.

This place rules, such a fun vibe, the pizza is incredible, and the apps are great. I come here every time I'm in town.

I used to frequent Venice pizza as a kid but hadn't returned since new owners took over. Well, that changed a few weeks ago. I was craving pizza and wanted and change from stevies in Milton, and since Pizza 24 seems to have new ownership (pizza is now awful), I decided to try out Venice. The pizza was nothing short of amazing in my opinion and I also became slightly obsessed with the vp Smash burger. They've definitely earned me as a regular.

I ordered a large Buffalo chicken pizza that was supposed to be 22 inches (according to their menu on their website) which I paid $26 for including tax. Brought the pizza home and it was much smaller than advertised. Very disappointed for the price I paid. Wanted to support local businesses but this was a straight ripoff. Overall taste is like any average Buffalo chicken pizza you would order. Highly disappointed!

I wanted to give the new place a chance. Well, walked in, was directed to walk to a walk with QCR code. Staff probably thought this was friendly /helpful..BUT it definitely took away from any personality ... Salad: $9 I felt this was high considering the amount? Am I wrong.. here is a pic Pizza: $15 odd, it was like Luke warm ? I mean I was there within 20 minutes? Maybe it was done a lot sooner than I thought... then update the F ing tracking thing and say it's done. I was right outside. $28.00 (includes $3.00 tip)for small salad and small pizza.. I dunno seems high? Am I being unrealistic with the new post Covid? I know other pizza places make larger Greeks. Am I being petty? I don't normally leave reviews but it's a as new place who knows maybe they will use the feedback

Pepperoni lovers dream pizza! This was so delicious and cheesy and the pepperoni's had that nice char on the edges! So good. Definitely ordering again. The Greek salad was really good too.

Well, where should I begin. If you're taking over a location that use to be a pizza spot you better bring the game if you are taking their name. Unfortunately there was no game brought when it came to their pizza. While edible, the only flavor profile this so called pizza had was salt. We got the sausage and oh boy the only seasoning that was used in the meat was -- you guessed it -- salt. Sadly we also ordered a side of spicy fries. While the crinkle steak cut style was unique, the only seasoning on these fries was -- you guessed it -- salt. Please do better.

Delicious! I had a cheese pizza and a ceaser salad, and both were so flavorful and filling. We got an order for takeout, and the staff were very kind. It took about 20 minutes for our order to come out, which wasn't too long considering we got two pizzas and three salads. The interior was nice, it was clean and colorful, but there is limited seating. It wasn't a problem for us, but you may want to consider that if you are looking for a sit down restaurant.

TL;DR: Venice Pizza, by far the best pizza in Dorchester! Have visited another couple of time since previous review. Venice is definitely the best in Dorchester, and probably a competitor to the two Boston Greats for pizza.

Delivery arrived warm, on time. Pizza was thinner than expected but sauce was delish! Cheese sticks were bigger than expected, not greasy, very filling.

Literally the best wings I've ever had - plenty of meat, tender, and incredible flavor. Other must try's include: turkey sub, mozzarella sticks, Greek salad, spicy fries, & Alsatian pizza... not to mention their homemade ranch and Alabama white sauce! The new VP puts a great twist on some of my classic favorites and is also such a refreshing addition to the Savin Hill neighborhood.

Venice Pizza... Drove by and had the desire to order a nice pizza pie from them. I live about .3 miles away and had about an hour and 20 min delivery time. Saturday night I get it. But with that being said I spent about triple the amount of the delivery time on the toilet sick as a dog. Thought maybe I was having one of those nights. Had a slice in the afternoon for lunch and immediately ran to the bathroom. Roommate was currently in there experiencing what I had experienced the night before. Had no other option but to bolt out the back door. Needless to say I spent the afternoon spraying my driveway down after throwing up all over it.... I'll order the 5,5,5 deal from dominos next time!

Not impressed with their steak bomb. It was dry and not enough meat or cheese on a large for 14.95. It's a one and done for me.

The pizza is really good, there's no knocking it!! If you're going to order pizza, make sure to add on a couple of appetizers. Mozz Sticks - I consider myself a connoisseur. These are top 3 (or higher) of every I've had. VERY CHEESE, amazing pull, and really good breading! You'll want more than one stick! Chicken tendies- seriously another top 5. Breading is thick, but flaky and with a little spice. Dressing sides - The honey mustard is a very good balance for someone who doesn't love either of them alone. Buffalo is also very solid. Mini Garlic Knots - SO GOOD! A nice balance of bread and roasted garlic. I liked the Greek dressing as a side and the marinara is also good! Caesar/Greek salads - delish, just what you want with pizza!

Don't even get me started on the turkey Savin sandwich. I love it so much I included my love for it in my hinge profile. The aioli makes me act up, the turkey is great quality and the addition of cucumbers is a fantastic pairing. And the new buffalo bites are perfect; like mini calzone puff bite with heavy parm and sauce... just so good. I've had pizza too - also fantastic. Also the large is $14 and it's HUGE. WE THE TURKEY SAV. STAY GOLDEN

The pizza here is surprisingly pleasant and plentiful. They have a great toppings selections and the prices on a pie were affordable. I would recommend trying this neighborhood pizza joint!

Great chicken parm! Always consistent!! Nice roll lightly toasted,just the right amount of sauce and cheese!! Great flavor! Highly recommend.

Saw on Phantom Gourmet and had to try for an office lunch! Called in and spoke with Josh (owner) who was super helpful and proud of his pizza (completely understand why having tasted it!). Placed my order, picked it up and everyone LOVED the pizza! Definitely a 5 star...think about how often do people rave about cheese? Josh tipped us off that the Super Cheese was the BEST...and it was! Also had Buffalo Chicken, Alsatian and Pepperoni - thin crust, great char on the crust edges - pizza was delicious. Team also enjoyed the chocolate knots. Be sure to try Venice Pizza...you won't be disappointed!

Friendly service and great pizza I was impressed, first time here at this restaurant establishment. I would give them 10 stars the pizza was so good.

Very Tasty pizza ..however i would suggest a adding a little more Quantity of Topping to the Pizza, as it was a bit on the light side. But very tasty

So thankful for Venice Pizza coming to DOT. I have never had a bad meal here through delivery. Quality and consistency remains the same and that is a major plus. The Gunpowder Steak Sandwich is so good and it's hard to stay away but I am committed to try other items. The Mozzarella Sticks are hand rolled, and to me, the pizza is as close to New Haven style you will get around Boston... and for those that know, is the best.

Gluten free crust pepperoni pizza is absolutely delicious! It hit the spot for sure =)

Great wings, and very good pizzas! Love the pomodoro customized with roasted garlic, olives, caramelized onions, and artichokes! On the pricy side, but worth the "investment"!

Fantastic pizza-- the crust was amazing. Strongly recommend the pesto! Worth a little extra for the quality and care put into every slice. We are now going to be regulars!

Steak and cheese sandwich is heaven sent. Great pizza also. Would recommend any day of

Disappointed in this spot. The old Venice would have made better pizza!! Not worth it. Super thin crust, chicken isn't good, barely any garnish. Pizza aliment doesn't make sense......am I missing a slice? The old pizza spot was a better hit. Hoping that next time I try it I won't be so disappointed.

About time Dorchester has a Great pizza place! Went last night and tried the tenders the pizza and both were amazing. This place is five stars all day long. I am a pizza snob they made made the mark!

In the beginning there was pizza and sub shops that served food not fit for man nor beast. Fortunately for us Bostonians, we have the Venice. Elevated food and friendly service make this pizza shop a destination worth traveling to. Personally, I'm a fan of food that's hot and spicy. The Calabrian Chicken and the Steak and Cheese both hit the spot!

The pizza was very good with quality toppings and is a welcome addition to the mediocre pizza in this neighborhood. I would prefer more sauce and will ask for it next time. I was definitely put off with having to order online. I don't understand the business model of not taking phone orders. Do we have to use our phones/computers for every damn thing? Also I know they are just opening but the interior currently feels more like a pharmacy than a food place.

Really wanted to like this place since I'm such a fan of Pastoral and Neptune Oyster! I ordered a margherita pizza with fried eggplant and a chopped salad. The pizza crust was nice but sauce was lacking in flavor and I was disappointed to not be able to really find the mozzarella, which is the best part! I was enjoying the chopped salad (great cherry tomatoes!) until I ran across some plastic wrapping... Perhaps food is better for dine in vs takeout...

The restaurant is very open and laid-back. Everything is tidy and clean. I can see this becoming a hot spot in the afternoon especially with schools nearby or as a lunchtime spot.

So glad to have this pizza place in DOT. Ordered a pizza with mushroom and onion and it was delicious! The anti pasta salad was packed with meat and cheese. Definitely making this my go to pizza place!

I don't know why this place doesn't have a higher rating. As someone who lives in Dorchester, this has to be your go to local pizza place. The pizza is amazing, they do delivery, the garlic knots may be even better than the pizza, and there's even good salads if you like that kind of thing. 10/10, filling a huge pizza need in the Dot.

Thin crust pizza!! Have had the Hawaiian and Margherita pizzas and they were both delicious. Happy with this new pizza addition to the neighborhood!

Loved this reboot of Venice Pizza. The thin chewy crust and inventive toppings were great. The chopped salad had unique flavor combos (capers were a great addition). Prices are a bit high ($25 for a large pizza) but overall worth it. Welcome back!

I've probably tried every single pizza combination from Venice Pizza and it never disappoints!!!! The quality and taste is perfect each time. I'd pay the $40 again and again for the chimichurri steak pizza from here plus the ranch sauce *chef's kiss*

The food here is pretty good, but my god don't mistake this place for a quick spot to grab a bite to eat. I'm convinced they kill there meat live or were waiting for Amazon to deliver the meat!

This gluten free pizza is definitely up there for the best I've had! This is the only pizza place where the GF crust is thick! Delicious!! Can't wait to go back!

It's a bit pricy, but it's also the rare good pizza in the Boston area. Definitely a go to if you want something other than the bland offerings throughout and around the city. It's unbelievably hard to find something better than edible

Been frequently going here for 2 months now. They have a really good authentic pizza pies...Staff is friendly and attentive. Price is a bit high the the quality is well worth it. Truly Authentic !!!

The pizza here is consistently good. Their steak and cheese is unreal with their special sauce! The spicy Calabria is probably one of the best buff chicken sandwiches I've ever had. To top it off, surprisingly their chocolate cake is mouth watering! This spot took a few months to figure it out but they sure did get it right. Best spot in the neighborhood!

I ordered pizza, mozzarella sticks and tenders for delivery. They were all fantastic! Highly recommend!

The spicy fries were good, the buffalo wings were good, pizza was a bit greasy but delicious. Ambiance was chill. Good for family

This is my 2nd online order fulfilled by Grubhub. Note to management, use another delivery provider. 1st pizza order took about 10 minutes to make and an hour to deliver, 2nd pizza order took 10 minutes to make and 46 minutes to deliver. Pizza is over priced and an extra $2 for more cheese a rip-off, considering I can't tell the difference from a normal pizza.

Got wings, chicken tenders, caesar salad, small cheese pizza. Wings very good, got the salt and pepper ones. I'm curious to try whatever ones come w the peppers on them (shown in the pics). Tenders were "ok" not very crispy but still nice enough. Salad and pizza very good. Ranch dressing and buffalo dipping sauce both good. Our order was delivery and came very fast

The new Venice Pizza makes great food. Picked up gun powder steak sub and pepperoni pizza plus mozzarella sticks. Wow--great flavor, quality meat and those little cup like pepperonis-so good. Hopefully I find my way back to Dorchester and the new VP again.

Some family was over so I ordered from Venice Pizza for something easy and that was conveniently located. We got 2 large pizzas, one cheese and one pepperoni, along with chicken tenders and oven baked meatballs from the "bites" menu. There was an impressive amount of pepperoni and there was plenty of cheese on both pizzas and they were cooked until they took on some color. The Oven Baked Meatballs were tender and came with plenty of sauce. The chicken tenders were juicy on the inside but had a light crunch on the outside. Everyone enjoyed the food so I went back on a later date and got the Gunpowder Steak & Cheese sub and a Chicken Parmesan sub with an order of Mozzarella Sticks. The subs were enjoyable with a noticeable amount of cheese. The steak was perfectly shaved and not too aggressively seasoned which is sometimes a worry when the seasoning is being called gunpowder. The chicken seemed to be pounded thin and had a crispy breaded coating, just the way I like it. I thought it could have used slightly more sauce but I am sure some folks would think differently. Both subs were packed with meat. The Mozzarella Sticks were fat with a seasoned coating, cooked through without any cheese leaking out. Venice Pizza did not disappoint.

Walk in order took over 55 mins to make 2 items, one was ice cold when we got them handed to us. The customer service, more like yelling, to the Uber Eats drivers could be heard even in the bathroom and I'm pretty sure my mom would have smacked me for talking that way to anyone. The food overall was not as good as advertised. I was excited from all the hype on social media and was truly disappointed. I will say the interior of the building was nicely redone though.
