The Village Pizzeria more or less defies appearances and on paper is one of the sorts of places I just normally wouldn't go. Why? Because despite being under the name 'Pizzeria', it is also a generic 'chippie' and does Indian food. To me when a small place like this tries to be a Jack of all trades they really do end up a master of none. But I have to give The Village Pizzeria its dues, it does a pretty decent job.
The pizzas (while by no means the best you can get) are pretty good and well prepared, the chips and other standard chippie output it also good. The chips seem double cooked, they at first glance look a little darker than you'd expect from a chip shop but they are really tasty, so they clearly have their own way of doing things and it works.
The only weak link would be the Indian dishes. They are not at all bad by any means, it's just that they don't usually look or taste fully like the specific dish you order, by which I mean it's like underneath all the dishes start out as a generic 'curry' and then have specific spices added to them once ordered to differentiate them. So while you end up with a perfectly decent 'curry' one dish looks much like another and there seems to be a bit of overlap in flavour and texture. read more
