Village Pizzeria - South Orange

Seriously?!? This has been my family 's go-to pizza/sandwich place for 25+ years. Looking to try something different, I called to ask what was in a couple of the menu items. The person who answered the phone said, Look, I 'm busy and I 'm stressed. I said, You 're too busy to explain what 's on the menu? He said Yes, do you want to order or not? Of course I said no. We can all have a bad day, but nobody that rude deserves our repeat business ever again.

They used to be really good. Very attentive staff. Eaten here 10 yrs or more. Owner really trust. Fast service. I avoid negative reviews, unless I feel it feeds improvement. However, over the last 6-8 months, food has not been good. I now order from Brooklyn Pizza ., Irvington. Fast free delivery good prices.. Read their Google reviews. Very satisfied.

After reading several reviews I realize it is not just me. I 've been ordering from this place for a little over 5 years. The food used to be much better. I often would get a turkey and cheese sub from there that was really tasty. However, I would say the last 5 to 6 times that I 've gotten a sandwich I have not enjoyed it and today 's was no better. It seems like asking for little oil and vinegar means nothing. And maybe that 's their idea of a little, I don 't know. But to me, the bread should not be so saturated that it 's actually soggy and mushy and pink from all of the vinegar. The pictures don 't really show just how soggy the bread was. The only reason I tried to tolerate the sandwich today was because I was hungry and I 'd already spent the money on it. I literally had to pull most of the middle out of the roll so my sandwich barely had bread. Just not a tasty sandwich at all! Very disappointing. I definitely will never order a turkey and cheese sub from there again. With food prices being what they are today, we can 't afford to spend money on food and it 's not enjoyable.

I have only ordered their chicken parm slice and its by far the best pizza I have had in a very long time. I expected the chicken to be a little dry and hard but it was the opposite. Tender, juicy and fresh. I have had a lot of pizza from various places but this slice right here .

This was my first time going to Village Pizza, the Pizza was good and the crust was just the way I requested, well done.
