Ordered a simple meal of 10 wings to go tonight. Specifically asked for them to be made crispy. The person taking the order read it back to me and confirmed extra crispy. These wings are the furthest thing from crispy I've ever seen. Super soft and soggy skin. I had to broil them in the air fryer to get them somewhat enjoyable. Took a shot on them for their wings and won't be doing that again. read more

I was hungry and this spot seemed to draw me in. I was hoping for some good food at the minimum. My significant other and I walked inside. I looked at the menu on the wall and then we proceeded to the counter underneath the Order sign. From the Pizzas section, we got a 12" Medium Cheese for $12.50. From the Apps section, they had Shoe Bites (garlic or cinnamon) for $4.99 and we chose garlic. From the same section, we got Onion Rings for $4.99. I ordered a diet pepsi for $2.89. We got to choose our table, so that was convenient. They started to bring out our order fairly fast. The diet pepsi was smooth and so was the free refill. The Onion Rings were crispy and full of flavor. I loved them. The Shoe Bites had a nice flow of garlic everywhere. I liked them. The 12" Medium Cheese came to the table looking fabulous. I was excited to grab a slice. The sauce and the cheese played together nicely. I was a fan of this pizza. The service was friendly and fast throughout my visit. I was impressed by that. Overall, this spot gave me some awesome food for some good prices. I would like to go back someday. Date of visit: 12/13/24 read more

Casual pizza dining place. This is walk up and order style and they make your food or pizza fresh. Dining room has an arcade which is nice for the kids! Beer on tap and you can order a pitcher. Pizza is really good and the shoe bites which are small pieces of dough served with marinara. Service is friendly and good. The servers bring your food and drinks to the table as well as left over pizza boxes. read more

As close to NY style as I can find, I bet if you ask they'd cut a large into 6 slices instead of 12 for the super floppy slice! Gonna ask next time I go in for sure! Service was great, lots of smiles and super friendly! read more

.50 cent wing Tuesday is the best!! I personally love the sweet bbq boneless!! Great atmosphere and nice people

We are from NY and have always enjoyed Shoes pizza. Tastes very much like LI pies. We stopped in recently for a meatball parm and Italian hero. The bread was stale. Meatballs too salty and did not taste that way previously. The Italian sub also had the same stale bread and mayo but no Italian dressing either included in the bag or on the sub. It was said the dressing would be included on the side. I never had an Italian sub (hero) with mayo but since it was an option I thought I would try and scrape it off if it was weird. It was and no Italian dressing. Sandwich just seemed to be thrown together sloppily. Unfortuna read more

My daughter now lives in Valparaiso, IN. I came over to take my grandson out to lunch and this is the place he suggested: a locally-owned pizzeria just down the street with ample seating and parking. He likes the pepperoni pizza. I parked in the shade and we went in to order. Since I prefer no meats on my pizza, I just a $6.99 lunch special of a slice of cheese pizza, a large salad with Ranch dressing, and a soda for myself, and breadsticks and a medium pepperoni for him to take out for later as well. We didn't have to wait too long despite the counter personnel taking a lot of phone-in requests. The interior is a large rectangular room with college memorabilia from Purdue, IU and Syracuse. There's a small game room near the restroom. There are TVs mounted high on the wall for sports games. The place offers sliced pizza during lunch until 2pm. You get your choice of cheese, pepperoni or sausage. Pizzas come in mediums and large only. The crust is dense and doughy, but the sauce adds the spice. There is even wine and beer here, on tap or bottled. read more

Shoe's Pizza - a slice of pizza on a plate - Pizza Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

The wings are awesome and the pizza is good. I don't like that they are screaming out names of people who ordered, it ruins the experience. We loved all the TV's. We would order more beer but no one came around to ask us and it's not clear how to get the beer otherwise. It would be nice if there was something on the table that would indicate the need for the server to come by the table. The workers are young and tend to have tunnel vision. We've been there twice and we will continue to go, the food is great. read more

I think the pizza is pretty good. I usually don't order sausage pizza, but I like it here. If you want to tip your server you have to bring cash, otherwise the owner keeps it all and your server will never see the tip. So wrong!! I give it one star for the owner keeping the tips. read more

Maybe good for someone but definitely not my type of pizza. I know a lot more f people love them but crust is big no for me! Didn't enjoy at all. Topping and sauce were ok. read more

I tried to order pizza for carry out 28 minutes before they close and the gal on the phone said that their kitchen is closed. I wonder why this place has a scheduled closing time if they are not going to follow that through. read more

Delicious cheese pizza. I would get it again. Being from Brooklyn, NY, I'm never gonna find pizza like home, but this is pretty good.

Great wings!! The owner and family run the place. Very customer focused. Glade to see they are busy read more

I admit I wasn't even eating here but I drive a large utility truck, and their parking lot was completely empty so I was going to park and walk to where I was going. As soon as I got out of my truck, the owner came running out, claiming that I could not park there because he had a large party coming. Not a single car in the entire parking lot, nor was there when I return. If nothing else, I will definitely not ever be eating here just because of the rude behavior. read more

Pizza was outstanding. The taste was top notch and sauce was perfect. This was a pick up and the gentlemen who took the order was very nice and helpful. I got medium cheese pizza. I am getting a large next time. read more

Website says open till 9:00 pm, arrived at 8:30, guy at the counter says the kitchen is closed First time there ,last time there,

We just came int to pick a large order and asked if we can tip on our debit card or credit card but I was told we can but the owner keeps the credit card tips. I work in the tipping business and this is so wrong if it is true !! I truly hope it is not and if it is I will not ever order again for pick up nor support Shoes Pizza. Also this is the 2nd time we have ordered a large order and they forgot something . Now we have to make a trip back to pick up the food . Good employees are hard to come by now a days and the girls at the register have been amazing and should receive any tip that is offered especially on a credit card or debit card! read more

Great tasting pizza, good value for your money and local hometown owners are very friendly. Highly recommend you give them a try.

The food and service is great, I've been eating there since they opened. I'm a huge fan of their wings! The ambiance is great, the staff is always wonderful! read more

I stopped by Shoe's this evening with a bit of an abnormal request -- to purchase a ball of dough, for an online cooking class I was partaking in this evening. The young girl at the counter simply asked Mr Shoe how much to charge, and he, without hesitation grabbed a ball of dough and said "no charge." I was 100% expecting to pay, but was extremely grateful for the generosity of a small business owner to kindly give this to me, free of charge. This small gesture speaks large volumes, and you bet this is where we will be ordering pizza from next time it's "pizza night." Thank you, Mr Shoe, for your generosity -- small tokens are greatly appreciated, and my spinach roll turned out great! Support this small business! read more

If I can give this place negative stars then never get negative stars. I've never had bad pizza. I never thought there could be a such thing as bad. Pizza simple ingredients. Great outcome .This was the worst piece I've ever had in my life. And I mean the absolute worst. I ordered the sausage pizza and it was disgusting. Keep in mind what make sausage sausage is the seasoning otherwise it just be ground pork. They should've just called it. Ground pork. The Caucasian young lady at the front desk was a bit racist. There were four people online I was the third she helped the first two Caucasian individuals sent me to the woman next to her who is actually busy so I had to wait until she was done doing what she had to do, but she helped the person behind me. I was just there to pick up my order, but that part doesn't really bother me cause if the restaurant was racist, but the food was amazing. I'll be back multiple times. The winds were horrible. I normally like my chicken fried with flour crispy. I don't see the appeal of just put in naked wings in Greece that shit stupid but people like it and nobody even those people are stupid for them to have horrible, Pizza and wings the place was full. They were a lot of people there. I guess there's a lot of people out there to have a horrible taste and food does a special place in hell for y'all and it must be this pizza place. read more

Delicious pizza!!! The crust is perfect and the toppings were delectable!!!!! It was hot and cheesy and had the just the perfect amount of grease from the spicy sausage to dip the crust in and be delighted. We don't live there and was there for work and can't wait to the next time to stop thru and try the sandwiches or the wings- we watched other patrons enjoying the large sandwiches and the shiny wings that made our mouths water!! read more

Good food, wing's especially. Pizza dough was over kneaded. You couldn't even cut through bottom well. Biting it was like leather. Flavor was good. Them garlic balls were dangerous, didn't want to stop eating them. If it wasn't for the dough issue would have given a 4 read more

Mr.Shoe is a gorgeous man, with a physique like Greek god. Whilst extremely high I got the munchies and decided to make my way into the incredible, Mr.Shoe's Pizzeria. Already I could smell the wonderful aroma of pizza and wings being prepared by the very beautiful men in the kitchen and of course, Mr.Shoe. While I was making my order I couldn't help but stare at the man, the myth, the legend himself, Mr.Shoe. The sweat from his forehead glistened in the light. His arms, bulging and veiny from forming the pizza from the soft dough. Starstruck while in a gaze I had not recalled how much time had passed and my food was already done and placed on the counter. I have to say I had a wonderful experience and will be 'coming' again. read more

I was hungry for wings and decided to take advantage of the 50 cent wings special at Shoe's Pizza on Tuesday. Called and ordered ahead of time. Since it was my first time here, I did have some questions about allergens. The person who took my order was patient and took the time to answer my questions. Placed my order and they said it would take about 20 minutes. Arrived 25 minutes later and order was ready to go. They were busy and it did take them a minute to acknowledge I was there. Got home and food was still hot. Wings were great. A lot of places fry their wings too hard and that makes them hard to eat. The wings from Shoe's were great and I would order from here again. read more

Great pizza can't get enough of it wish I didn't live over 1000 miles away and come here occasionally for work.
