At Village Host Pizza, what I encountered was a tragic misstep. The pizza, which should have been a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, arrived bearing the scars of neglect – its crust not just kissed by the flame, but engulfed by it, a blackened remnant of what could have been.This wasn't just a pizza; it was a testament to the razor's edge that cooks walk every night. The line between a perfect char and an irredeemable burn is fine, and on this night, that line was crossed. The toppings, which had promised a symphony of flavors, were lost in the smoky cacophony of the overdone crust, their potential beauty overshadowed by the overwhelming bitterness of char.In the world of cooking, where the flame is both friend and foe, this was a battle lost. Yet, in every mistake, there's a lesson to be learned, a chance to rise from the ashes and come back stronger, with a renewed respect for the fire. To Village Host Pizza, I say this: Let this not be a defeat, but a call to arms. The great meals are still ahead, waiting to be discovered in the heat of your ovens. Let's chalk this up to a bad night, a fluke in the otherwise stellar journey of your voyage. I'll be back, in search of the pizza that I know you're capable of creating, the one that dances on the edge of the flame but never succumbs to it.

Not bad, but not amazing. It is decent. A good place to eat to satiate one’s hunger.Kid-friendliness: They have little arcade machines and gimbal machines in the back. Also, kids like pizza.

Good pizza but I go there for the burgers. A great bang for the buck. Not a fan of the Lays chips. Not a fan of the sports that are always on but I'm sure it's popular with many.

A bit overpriced in my opinion, but it's good food.
We have had their pizza many times and it is generally pretty good. However, our experience with their customer service recently left a lot to be desired. We ordered a pizza for takeout and when we got there they had given it to someone else. Had to wait while they cooked another one. When I was asked to pay for it, I asked if there would be any consideration for their mistake; the woman at the counter curtly said "no." Once I had the pizza I asked if there was a manager. This woman said "no, but I'm married to the owner." I again asked if they would offer anything to make up for the inconvenience caused by their error. She said "we don't do that." That's not a very good way to build customer loyalty. I would have been happy with 10% off - any token of concern for the inconvenience. Won't be going back there anytime soon.

Been getting pizza here since the '70s. My favorite pizza. They always accommodate my requests-extra black olives, light anchovies... Always served or delivered extra hot. They use different cheese, not just white. The cheddar gives a unique flavor to the pizza. The kids that work there are super... most are local high school students who are sweet, honest, and hardworking. 591-6791- same phone number for like 40 years! :)

Village Host is our favorite local pizza place. As Chicago-natives, our pizza standards are high and Village Host gets it right. There is always a little variability in the pizzas. (A splash of extra cheese, little more cooked on the bottom, …) That is the charm tho. These folks are making everything by hand. Authentic. The dining room is classic pizza place. Love it all.

All around a good local place to pop down and get a sub and/or a pizza. We decided on the pastrami, ham, Turkey, and salami sub as well as a Hawaiian pizza. Everything was good and at a price point I don't think you could beat at many other Bay Area pizza joints.
