My partner and I ate here for lunch and were blown away. We ordered the 'Medley Veggie' and it was…read morethe best vegan pizza I've ever eaten. The crust was *perfectly* crisp on the bottom. They clearly use a lot of oil on the bottom of the pans they bake the pizzas in. If you don't like oil, this isn't the place for you. But we *loved* it. I also loved that the pizza toppings went to the edge. This made the vegan cheese crispy along the edges. This approach coupled with the thin (but not too thin) dough felt like Detroit-Neapolitan hybrid. It was the best of both. (And They do offer a Detroit pizza as well, which we will try in the future.) I like my sauce a bit sweeter than their red sauce, but this was only a minor issue. The toppings were high quality, especially the sautéed mushrooms. This place was absolutely worth the drive from Salem to Medford and we will be back. I was disappointed that they no longer make the Carl Called pizza that is listed on their website. It sounds amazing and I hope they bring it back. There are only 4 or so tables so we will avoid this place during peak hours. Alternatively we could order our pizza to go and find an outdoors spot to eat. The dining area was pretty toasty from the ovens. Today was a mild spring day, yet even with the door open, I was getting uncomfortably hot. They also do not have a bathroom for customers, so bear that in mind before visiting. I would love to see this place move to a larger space with more tables. The owner and his staff clearly are passionate about pizza and really know their craft.

It had burned edges that made it crispy and flavorful. I loved it. I ordered a pepperoni with mushrooms pizza and was very pleased with it. I think they only make it one size. The price was good for the pizza. The establishment is small, with some tables. There is no table service. You pay, you pick up your order, and take it to the table. The menu is listed on top by the register. They have many types of pizza variations and other Italian dishes. The restaurant was clean. They answered all my questions.

We finally decided on Venice, but my friend was hesitant because she's Italian and grew up on her mama's homemade Italian cooking. Venice did not disappoint! First off, the restaurant delivers locally, so you don't have to go through DoorDash l, GrubHub, or Uber Eats with their limited menus! The food hits! The sauce was perfect!! We ordered Chicken Parm, perfectly breaded, juicy and tender NOT dry with just the right amount of melted mozzarella, fantastic Also, the Eggplant Parm, thin eggplant slices with that sauce and cheese, Then the Manicotti, it was perfection Garlic Cheese Bread was delicious and they also gave us rolls, which my friend used to make an Eggplant Parm sandwich to take to the airport with her. I took the Chicken Parm. Everything was Moto bene!!! I hope Venice never changes, because they are perfectly wonderful and I hope to come back when I visit Boston and the Arlington area again The portions were generous, that's why we had leftovers. Keep it up Venice, don't rely on your old reputation as some restaurants do. Oh yes, and the prices are very fair too! My friends and I highly recommend Venice Italian Restaurant in Arlington, MA!!! Enjoy

Yelp gives this place four stars…read more I give this place four stars. I give Northender's category five stars. Northender is just like 380 places all over the Boston Area. And I love them all. * * * Northender is an East Coast Sub Shop. Sub shops have pizza too. Pizza is good all over the country. Subs are NOT good all over the country. They are usually only good only in the Northeast. Sub shops in Texas are godawful. Sub shops in Michigan and Wisconsin are no great shakes. So when I go to Boston or Connecticut or Rhode Island or -Hallelujah - Philadelphia ... I go out of my way to get at least one real deal sub. One real deal sub and I am happy. If on two days, I can get two real deal subs, I am twice as happy. * * * Most East Coast sub shops are fine. There may be some place that has legendary three standard deviations above the mean subs. I have yet to find one. There is probably a tail end of terrible East Coast sub shops at the bottom end of the distribution. If I have eaten at one, I have repressed the memory. * * * The Northender is controversial. Some Yelpers hate it. Others love it. My local hosts love it. What I had is outstanding. So I am proudly in the pro-Northender camp. Because sub shops also do pizzas and Italian main dish entrees - there may or may not be issues with the other two thirds of the menu. But on subs - these folks are just fine and dandy. I had a meatball parmigiana sub. Those are always good. Even mediocre places in Texas with their cold cuts coming straight from Sysco can sometimes manage a decent meatball sub. * * * Northender lets you get hot grilled green peppers on your meatball sub. Texas has never heard of such a thing. Hot grilled green peppers on any kind of a parmigiana sub? Take plug. Insert into electric socket. All the lights come on. I was bright and shiny for the rest of the day. (And that rest of the day involved a long and miserable trip through Logan airport. I needed that sub as a bright spot on a day that was going to be dreariness up the snoot.) * * * Are the subs in Arlington better or worse than the subs in Lexington, or in Dedham, or in Marblehead or in Southie? I really couldn't tell you. But certain pleasures are like chocolate. They are good unless they are proven otherwise. * * * How are Northenders salads, or the lasagnas of the day or their house special pizza? I have no idea. But just keep those sub sandwiches coming. I am with ya, Northender.

Their pizza is just exquisite and just so good with a wonderfully crispy, slightly burnt crust, which how I love my pizza. The staff are all kind, friendly and professional and the service is excellent. They originally, I'm pretty sure, used a coal-fried pizza oven but they seem to have switched to gas. Not a huge deal, but did appreciate the "crispiness" that the coal fired method gave to the crust. If I lived closer, I'd be in here all the time!

The second time, I asked them to please put more toppings on the pizza when I ordered. The person said that it would be no problem. She was surprised that I said the first time I ordered that there were hardly any toppings at all. The second time, the same thing happened. Really? I ordered a half onion half mushroom pizza and there were barely any toppings. An onion costs hardly anything at all. Same thing with mushrooms. They charge enough for the pizza! They are so cheap and I will not be purchasing any other food from here in the future. No wonder their competitor gets a lot more business and that restaurant is MUCH more generous with their toppings. I should have gone there instead.

So worth the wait!…read more We enjoy dining in for dinner at this nice farm to table restaurant! It's a nice and cozy restaurant tucked in the Arlington heights plaza. It is always busy on Friday and Saturday nights but each time we have walked in we are lucky to find a table. It's an order at the counter type of place but you pay after you're meal. They bring you you're food and then you pay when you leave. I really like that they get their produce from local farms and that they have a rotating specials menu. We are always excited to see what's new on their menu. I really love their pizzas! They are so flavorful and they always create a new pizza special. This night they had mozzarella blue cheese pizza which was very tasty! And they had a corn ravioli which had squash and tons of veggies! When it's a busy night it does take a little longer than an ordinary restaurant in terms of wait time but it's so worth it once you get your food! It feels like a home cooked meal and it tastes like one too!
