Says they're open. They're not. Don't have enough customer care to be open when your ad says you're open.

A truck driver told me this place had good calzones. First impression is everything. This is a clean restaurant and a clean bathroom. I got the lunch special which came with an excellent calzone. The meat was flavorful and not flavorless which is what the competition is serving. This place is a rebuy in my rating and definitely worth a try. read more

The BEST PIZZA place in Lubbock! We had the Taco Caliente and it exceeded my expectations. The employees there are so attentive and friendly. My husband went to get a pizza box to take the leftovers home and was told the best way to heat it up later. Also, one of the only places in Lubbock that has clean high chairs. read more

We stopped by to grab some lunch after a day of shopping, thank god we did. The restaurant was welcoming with the great smell of authentic Italian pizza The price for pizza was not bad at all, we ordered 2 large pizzas. First one was half pepperoni and half sausage, the second pizza was the barbecue with everything on it. All I can say is that I've had many pizzas from many different restaurants, but Papa V pizza is the best pizza we have ever had. The owner came out and talked to us about his restaurant and how he makes his pizza so great in the oven. It was a pleasure taking to the owner. We thank you for some delicious authentic Italian pizza. Bara Bing Bara boom! If you are looking for great pizza to eat, I recommend Papa V restaurant. read more

3.5 Stars I picked up a Calzone here through the drive thru. I was craving calzones from One Guy, but their prices have jumped up significantly. Papa Vs was cheaper and felt like a much cleaner establishment. The service was friendlier and more organized. Papa Vs offered a half baked option, which ended up making the calzone less greasy and soggy. The side salad and ranch were okay. One Guys is better in that regard. The food was good, but not great. The flavors were a little lacking. If deciding between the two, I would probably select Papa Vs. I'll definitely be back to try the pizza there inside the restaurant. read more

I had Papa V pizza one time and it was absolutely terrific. I had it a second time and the crust was gross. It is like it had no salt at all and was like eating a soft saltless saltine cracker. Just not good at all. I am so disappointed in Lubbock pizza. No one takes it seriously. read more

Loved it! From now on, if we want pizza, it'll be Papa V's! Wonderful owner. So kind. I didn't take pics of the pizza but the dessert was just as great! We loved the vibes and the music selection. Very welcoming. Don't let the negatives keep you away. Someone always has something to complain about. 10 out of 10. read more

We were excited to try this place out because of reviews and it was not at all worth all the hype. The staff were rude and unhelpful, the restaurant was dirty and tables needed bussing - but everyone was standing around. The food was ok but I've had better pizza. Won't be returning. A good pizza place that wasn't busy on a Friday night? Says everything you need to know. read more

The pizza was solid but crust was still a little thick in the middle. The bolognese was just meat sauce, not bolognese and wasn't very good. I would go back, but wouldn't search the place out when in town. read more

Jerry is a calzone/ pizza legend! The original "One Guy from Italy!" We are blessed to have him back in Lubbock!

First and foremost Rest In Peace Papa V, We came to find out through the hospitality of this establishment, that it is named after the father of the boss man of this establishment. Today I went to get my ears lowered by my comrade in culinary crime, Top Ramon. During which we both realized there was a new line of pizza places that needed to be explored. This line of thinking brought us to Papa V's. As soon as we entered, the simplicity of the general area didn't overwhelm the senses, which made it both welcoming and relaxing. We ordered some mozzarella sticks and a medium pizza half supreme and half pepperoni with some drinks. The fountain drink dispensary had a solid selection but there was only one drink I truly cared about and that was Root Beer.. could of gotten away with Dr. P as well. What cherry coke and cherry Pepsi is to a good sub, root beer and Dr Pepper is to a good slice of pizza(straight up opinion, not fact) We got our mozzarella sticks fairly quickly but they did the trick. Cheese to breading ratio was done right, sauce was light but flavorful. Usually you get a healthy coating of bread on cheese with a thick marinara sauce that can be described as constipated tomato droppings, but not here. The sauce was just right , flavors that let you know they were there without telling you they were there, like the secret soldiers of Benghazi When we received the pizza, the first thing we noticed was that solid sturdy foundation of crust with a BEAUTIFUL char, crunch factor is a huge plus. It wasn't doughy one bit but it held it all up just the same. The mathematical division of ingredients was as if Stephen Hawking took lessons from Emerald himself. In the middle of finishing up the pie, the gentleman who made the pie with his very hands came out and gave us a history lesson on how this place came to be. Turns out we have treaded through Las Vegas, Houston , San Diego and San Francisco at one point in our lives.. (SHOUT OUT TO PAYLESS PIZZA IN LAS VEGAS BY THE ORLEANS) We then began to devour our supreme slices and somewhere in between enjoying the explosive flavors of the sausage and the bangin feel Of the mushrooms , we both noticed we hadn't talked to each other for a solid 3 minutes because we were too in tune with the pizza itself. Real Carl's Jr. moment, don't bother me I'm Eating. All in all this place is gonna have to take the number one spot in Lubbock followed closely by Giorgios but this place real left us flabbergasted, Best pizza since the covid pandemic of 2020 read more

Pappa V's has the best white pizza I've ever had--end of story. My girlfriend and I, both Lubbock natives, moved to Austin and have been on an epic quest to find a white pie that's even close. Spoiler: nothing comes remotely close. If you're lucky enough to be in Lubbock, you need to try their white pizza. It's seriously life-changing. We might just start planning trips back home around pizza nights. read more

Been coming to Lubbock for over 30-years and had never eaten here. Came because Yelp had it #3 overall for Pizza in Lubbock and it was close. We got the standard large Pepperoni. It was good. Sauce had a great flavor. Crust was good - thicker than I like but it was good. Much more greasy than I like also, but the rest of the family really enjoyed it. Just not my style of pizza, but I would recommend it for others to try because the overall taste was good. 6.8 out of 10 stars read more

I've only lived Lubbock a short time and this is the best pizza in town by far. The dough is so soft and fluffy, it has great cheese pull and the toppings don't fall off and the pizzas not flimsy. But let me tell you the best thing ever is their tiramisu!!!! I absolutely love tiramisu and I order it from any restaurant that carries it. Not lying they have probably the best tiramisu I have ever had and that's really saying something. Great job!!!!! read more

The Owner is AWESOME He also will honor a teacher !!! The pizza was awesome very good !! The amount of toppings was not shy at all !!! read more

We chose Papa V based on its reviews. Our experience, however was less than stellar. We dined in on a Saturday evening and it was expectedly busy. As we approached the counter to order one young man noticed us looking at their large menu on the wall and offered us some handouts for easier viewing. I appreciated that! However once we reached the cashier, she never looked up from the register. I stood there for almost an entire minute wondering if she was placing another order before I looked around the screen when she glared back at me, seemingly surprised that a customer had entered and wanted to eat. Not even at this point was there a hello or "can I help you?" It was very bizarre. After we got our drinks we looked for an open seat. As I said, they were busy so there were no clean tables. We aren't above wiping our own table and moving the dirty dishes...so that's what we did. While we waited on an opportunity to get a rag, the girl who came to clean the other booth behind us avoided us like the plague. We didn't expect her to clean, we just wanted the rag. As we waited on our order I watched the families dining and noticed the demeanor of the other employees. One girl delivering pizzas to tables was notably miserable. I watched her nonchalantly throw down paper plates on a table and roll her eyes. I can't imagine why people who despise the public are customer facing. The young guy bussing tables was much friendlier than the girls running the front. By the time our order came I was more than ready to find out why this place had earned so many 5 star reviews. Unfortunately, I was never able to gather why the ratings are so high. By my assessment the pizza itself was middle of the road in flavor. The unnecessarily heavy amount of cheese weighed down the flimsy crust to the point it was inedible without utensils. The sauce? Forget it. Non-existent. I'd compare it to cheesy bread with toppings. And if that's your preference, by all means...dine here. If not, I'd say pass...on all counts. read more
