Stopped in while I had a few minutes to wait on an appointment. The staff was friendly, especially the chef and the gentleman who I am guessing was the owner who took my order. It's difficult to find local small places that have remained open during Covid and made it through! I would recommend the pizza, for sure! read more

I don't know how you could serve someone a garbage plate sub in Rochester and expect the customer to not notice BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES not burgers. The first time I went here I ordered pizzas which is frozen pizza quality. I should have noticed the red flag in the beginning... they serve Hawaiian Pizza. read more

Love their pies aka pizza! Service with a grin. So many choices great ingredients always fresh toppings. Highly recommend this place

A solid South Wedge local pizza joint. Definitely tasty and good quality worth the money though if you're looking for the best you might want to try something else. Note this review is a few years late, but they've been consistent for years and years. read more

We ordered a pizza lastnight and specifically asked for "well done". When we got home it was legit raw. The cheese was melted but that was it. The toppings on this large pizza were enough for a personal pizza. We've ordered several times over the years and have never been impressed but I should have went to Tops and got a frozen pizza. Hands down it would have been better. I will add, the blue cheese on the side was super good. I would definitely not recommend going here as there's really no excuse for this. read more

Little Venice Pizza - Raw pizza - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

Now the pandemic is endemic, Little Venice has resumed selling slices, an eighth of their 14" pie but now $4, offering only Cheese or Pepperoni, neither reheated, unless you ask, maybe. Customary condiments include red pepper flakes, grated parm, and garlic salt. Their minimum charge $6 thus requires another purchase, and Coke products are $2. Not hot, not filling, not very tasty, not a good deal, at least not for slices anyway. And the hours here on Yelp are wrong. The owners seem still to care, kinda, but it's a shadow of what it was in the 80s-90s. Go to New York. read more

I had the pizza here recently (just a basic pep and cheese) and I really wasn't a fan. The sauce was bland. The crust was undercooked and flavorless. My son makes pizzas at Wegmans and I think those are far superior. It took a really long time to come out too, and we were the only customers, the phone only rang once during our time waiting. I had pizza delivery from here a few years ago and I remember I really liked it! So I don't know it things have changed or it was an off night? Ambiance very much lacking if you elect to dine in.No charm and kinda grungy. read more

Overpriced mediocre pizza. You can definitely get better for less elsewhere. Roc pizza is a competitive market and this one doesn't cut it IMO. read more

Two words: DOC'S SPECIAL. If you're a fan of artichoke pizza, try this out! So much flavor and texture; between the two of us, we almost finished the whole pie! read more

Never disappoints. I've always had great food here. I usually order a calzone and / or a pizza. Location is very convenient for U of R.

Little Venice is our favorite pizza place in Rochester to order from! We used to love coming for a slice before COVID, but now we just order a pie to pick up for dinner. The service is fantastic and the pizza is even better! They prefer you pay with cash, but are easy going when paying with card. read more

I've been ordering from Little Venice Pizza short of a year, now. I'm seeing some of the negative reviews here and I'm happy to say that has not been my experience. In fact, it seemed like they were going out of their way to be friendly, accommodating, and quick with delivery. I like their thicker crust and think they offer one of the better delivery pizzas in the city. I typically get the vegetarian and substitute artichoke hearts for the mild peppers. A large cheese pizza with red sauce and any meat topping is a good choice too. I discovered this place from my former roommate who happens to be part of our Deaf community. I mention this only because I know they worked on communicating by text message during the delivery process which was important for him. I hope they continue to work on communication. I'd give them a chance, if you're hungry for a pie. read more

They definitely know how to do thin crust pizza When you're just in the mood for New York style They're white pizza is the best out of at least top 10 places the other places just use something out of a bottle The Old Faithful pepperoni pizza normal crust puts a smile on everyone's face shared this with friends last Saturday night people were asking where did you get the pizza!!!! Cheers to everyone who works there read more

Great white garlic pizza. They even made me a half red/half white pizza once! Very tasty. Pretty quick! You can sit inside but I think it's more conDucive to delivery. read more

Very tasty, very greasy! Grease comes right thru the bottom of the box so don't set it on your car seat. Crust on a pepperoni was crisp and moderately thin. Toppings were plentiful. Delivery service was courteous and prompt. I have not tried other items, so my A-OK rating is just based on a one time purchase. Would not hesitate to order again. read more

I was introduced to Little Venice before moving into the South Wedge. The owners and all the STAFF are awesome! I love the pizza and wings. They are my go to place for a tasty slice. Huge slices, good price and supporting a small business. Sending them so much support to stay strong in COVID. read more

Small pizzeria located on South Ave. Great place to stop for a quick slice for lunch or dinner. Cheap as well! A few times the bottom of the crust has been overdone while the top wasn't cooked all the way thru (hence) the three star rating. And parking can be an issue but overall a nice little spot to grab a quick slice. read more

I had THE BEST cheese & pepperoni pizza in my entire life from this place!!! My boyfriend & I were walking back home from the bar & decided last minute to grab something to eat. When I tell you that it was the best, I mean it! Thank you to the owner(s) and employees who took our order last minute as we were unaware that you were closing! We will definitely be back for all of our pizza needs from here on out! Thank youuu!!!!! read more

In the search for the next great Wing spot we tried Little Venice Pizzeria. We had their Medium Buffalo Wing sauce. Good heat, a nice crisp but they used a cheaper tougher wing. Overall a average wing experience. Their pizza had nice chewy crust, but it was nothing special. It tasted very fresh. The pizzeria has been in the south wedge for over 25 years. read more

I occasionally order delivery from Little Venice because they are close to my apartment. The food always comes hot and the delivery drivers are always very polite. Good subs...recently had the chicken parm sub. Fresh sub roll and delicious breaded chicken breasts. Pizza needs improvement, but is still decent enough. Overall, a good option for delivery on a cold day! read more

The food is alright. The prices could be better. Staff often seem inconvenienced by customers. Nothing outright rude but not friendly or welcoming. read more

The Pizza was top notch. We ordered ahead and the pizza came out hot as we arrived at the posted time. Perfect sauce to cheese to pepperoni ratio. Will definitely order from there again! read more

In my top 5 of local pizza joints. Whether I have ordered a pie or a sub, I've never had a bad experience. If you order in advance and have to wait and it doesn't hurt that Caverly's is across the street. read more

Love this place!! Pizza is so good, especially during these troubling times! Small businesses ARE the backbone of this country!! read more

Little Venice Pizza - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

This is my favorite neighborhood pizza shop in the entire country (outside of Manhattan). The pizza actually rivals New York pie. While the cheese and pepperoni stand-bys are excellent, I think a better selection of by-the-piece options (roasted broccoli for instance? Chicken pesto perhaps?) would make Little Venice the slam-dunk option for lunch in the South Wedge. As it is, their pile-it-on special makes for a perfect night at home with your life mate, best friend, and/or Netflix. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped into Little Venice Pizza just to grab a quick bite on a Tuesday evening. We grabbed a slice of pepperoni ($3) and a slice of cheese pizza ($2.50). The sauce tasted fresh and the crust was just right -- crispy with a bit of dough to it without being too thin. We both loved it. The prices for a full pizza seemed a bit higher than some other places, but after trying their slices, we're ok with that. :) They have a minimum for credit card purchases ($6, i think). There's a number of chairs and tables inside and the owner was very friendly. If you grab one of their menus there are coupons on the back. They also deliver, which is great. Would much rather give my business to a local place in my community. read more

Right across the street from Calverly's, this place has a great Buffalo Chicken Finger Sub... I love it! I'll call over from Cav's and order one up, then walk across the street and pick it up. They deliver in the South Wedge area, and everyone inside is always friendly. They have tables, with a nice quiet atmosphere, so this is a good place to bring the family, or just grab a bite with your girl... I have also had the pizza and it's really good, and I don't just recommend any pizza! read more

First time ordering here and it was good. The sauce was on the sweet side and pizza cooked perfectly. The wings were also cooked good and sauces were excellent. No complaints here so when in the area I shall give them some business. read more

A friend of mine had told me about Little Venice's Garbage Plate Sub, and after 6 months of waiting I finally got around to trying one. I only have one regret after eating it, and it's the fact that it took me so long to try it! The bread was perfectly done, not too soft and not too crunchy. The best part is, it tastes like an actual garbage plate and not just a bunch of ingredients thrown onto some bread. The hot sauce was great, it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, just hot enough to leave a warm sensation on my face. If you're looking for something new to try, the garbage plate sub is a definite! read more

Little Venice Pizza - "Trash Plate Sub" - Pizza Near Me - Rochester, New York

I'd had some good experience with slices here while working up the street, so we decided to order at home one night. Pizza was fine, maybe a little bit greasy, but what do you expect with pizza, right? Pros: convenient, relatively inexepensive, good tasting pizza, nice employees and I think their crust is thinner and crispier than most other places in the area (and as a lover of true NY thin crust pizza, this is my #1 priority) Cons: skimpy with their toppings, cheese was greasy, don't deliver to me (not your problem, though!) read more

My neighborhood pizza spot. We ALWAYS get the Doc special. Seriously, I've never had anything else on the menu. The Doc is a white pizza with spinach, tomato, artichoke, mozz, and ricotta cheese. It's greasy, but worth it! because we live so close, we always get take out- everyone who works there is friendly enough, but it can get loud. read more

The best steak subs I have had in Rochester. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. They know what they are doing in the kitchen!! I won't order a steak sub anywhere else. read more

By far the best steak and cheese I've had in a long time. I live in the Washington DC area and know ones making Steak and Cheese like this. The quality is superb and I couldn't eat it all myself because it was so big. Thanks Little Venice Pizza!! read more

The pizza is always consistent but there are some other things that aren't. Their bleu cheese dressing seems to be normal one time then watered down the next. I've never seen that before and it worries me that they have to cut corners like that to save a couple dollars. read more

We order just wings for delivery. 10 medium and 10 garlic Parmesan. The delivery was on time, and the wings were pretty warm. Everything was as expected, and the garlic Parmesan was actually pretty delicious. If I'm in a pinch for dinner, I'd do it again. And the price is right! read more

I gave it one star because I couldn't give it zero. The slice was Luke warm and the sauce didn't taste right.

Little Venice Pizza is a classic pizza place. The pizza met expectations, but was fairly greasy, and tasted OK. The ingredients were pretty good and seemed to be fresh. The crust was buttery and had a good consistency. The buffalo wings were OK and would be ranked alongside those that I would get at a national chain. I decided to go with Little Venice because I didn't feel like leaving my hotel room and I could order delivery off of Yelp (really nice way to order delivery BTW). The delivery man was late and refused to come into the hotel forcing me to come out into the rain to wait for my food. Not amused. read more

While in downtown Rochester, there isn't within eyesight than closed down shops and if you're lucky a bodega (corner store). Luckily Yelp and they saved my behind by offering delicious food and generous portions at the fraction of the price you find in chain shops. You won't regret ordering from them. Side note: the trash burgers don't come with bread but with ground beef holding a patty in between. No complains about it though, it just doesn't say that in the description. What's keeping them from 5 stars is that they wouldn't deliver to my hotel room. I had to go outside to receive deliveries. read more

My favorite spot for an XL Pie. Love the thin crust. Everyone is a little crusty but throw them a joke and they are all smiles. It's hot in that kitchen! read more

I've stopped by Little Venice a couple of times when in the vicinity and I've never been disappointed. Only ever had slices but may try a sub next time around. Small, quaint and no frills beyond a single tv on the wall. Give them a try. I don't think you'd be disappointed. read more
