Village Inn Pizza Viewmont - Hickory

I am sure it is hot in the kitchen but does the dining room have To be the temperature of a freezer??I got a combo (small pizza and one trip to the salad bar) and my husband ordered the buffet. We asked for a Village Inn Special when we ordered. I asked again when they called out my number for my pizza. My husband asked again when he went up after eating his salad. A Special was never prepared and put on the buffet the entire time we were there. At one point there was nothing on the buffet!!Come on people-it is literally your name but you don’t prepare it even when requested 3 times??!!

I've tried twice and never again. 1st trip to village inn Pizza was so so but I'm not a fan of thin crust pizza. Went back again tonight. Very stolic greeter/ cashier. No welcome, smile, or even enjoy your meal. Pizza was very slow coming thin crust with burnt edges. Tried asking for a Chicago style got 2 thin crust stacked on each other. Both dried out and burnt edges. I seriously doubt that they make their own crust because they are all way to identical. They even burnt the crust on the chocolate chip dessert pizza. I'm done

It is so cold in this restaurant you cannot enjoy your food. When asked if the temp could be increased we were told the ovens were on so they couldn’t do anything about it. Interesting enough the other Village Inns don’t have this problem, only the one in Viewmont. Kid-friendliness: Too cold for children

The quality of this restaurant has gone down in the last year. Today 7-24-24 all the employees as well as the manager on duty were constantly on their cellphones. Then going back touching salad bar and prepping kitchen pizzas etc. NOT washing your hands. Going to the restroom or checking outside and NOT washing hands. Walking right past the handwashing sinks visible from the lobby where we eat. Touching their hands and face and NOT washing their hands!! Disgusting . We won’t be coming back to this location . We will go to the mountain view location or Morganton location where they know what hygiene and cleanliness standards are!!

Great place if you want pizza and salad for a good price. Don’t come in expecting super high quality because it’s not priced that way. But is a great choice and a local favorite.
