“Food is fabulous, place is always packed so take a number and prepare to wait a bit. Totally worth it, stop Everytime we're nearby. Service is reliable but sometimes they can't be super friendly since it's a mad house. They do have seating and take and go food but the hot bar is the best! I always end up buying to much because I can't decide.“

The fruit accompaniment was delicious and fresh. Service was on point. I even got serenaded and served a yummy dessert when they found out it was my birthday. I wholly recommend this excellent restaurant!“

“This is hands down the best vegetarian pizza I’ve ever had. Yes Pizza my Heart is great but Village Host has bubbly crunchy crust and the pieces are weighed down and soggy like PMH. The bottom is still hard holding up the Vege covered pizza! I’m obsessed w them. Little pricey but worth it as a treat. Cheese is great too! Always polite and cool people working too. More people need to know about them!“
