The booth side of Venus.
Joanie L.

Came here with 3 bar pizza experts and really enjoyed their pizza. Total old school place with a bar area on one side of the wall and booths on the other. No one was over there so squeezed in at the bar, people were happy to make room for us. Super friendly woman working the bar, beers were ordered then we watched playoffs as waited quite a bit for a laced onion/pepper and my first pickle pizza. I'll def order it again. They were stingy with the onions which is a weird thing to be stingy with. The experts said it was one of the best they'd had from there A bit greasy a little crispy and really enjoyable.

Sausage Onion well done - Good

True Score: 3.5 Stars Bar Pies The Venus Cafe is all about two things: Bar pizza and cheap beer. Sure, it has a few other items on the menu (including a decent Greek salad that sometimes disturbingly comes in a plastic container even if you are dining in), but diners mainly come here to grab some bar pie and a few cold drafts (or bottles). The Venus serves up your quintessential South Shore bar pizza, with a slightly pliable cracker-like crust, a rich tomato sauce with herbs and spices, and a greasy and golden brown cheese topping that extends to the edge of the crust. And like many of the South Shore bar pizza spots, you can order a pie with "laced" or burnt edges where they add more cheese and sauce to the edge of the crust and let it caramelize and char a bit for even more flavor. In an area that is loaded with famous bar pie joints, the Venus is the middle of the pack. I like the look of the place and the old school feel, but the pizza was a 6 out of ten and the mix drinks were a bit weak. This is a real townie sort of place, we got the "who are you" looks when we visited. We'd stop in again if we were close by, but not making a trip for it. Thanks

The sauce and toppings on these pizzas are delicious. The crust is more like a cracker. It doesn't have a lot of substance. It's very thin. The chorizo and red pepper topping was excellent as was the mushroom, red onion, and garlic. It surpassed locally the Cape Cod Café or the Lynwood. The lack of crust puts it in 3rd place tho - it's all about the crust! Great dive bar. Peter is great!

Mushroom Pizza, Pepperoni & Onion Pizza
Jessica B.

One of my favorite spots for bar pizza! I discovered this place as an adult but the pizza has this unexplainable nostalgic-quality to it, I feel like I've been eating it my whole life! The dough and sauce combo has a very significant and delicious taste, making it different/stand out from other bar pizzas in the area (in my opinion). I just love it. My go-to is always a mushroom or pepperoni & onion. My husband is from the North Shore and we introduced his friends to bar pizza by way of Venus. They loved the small size of the pizzas and were impressed with the flavors. Now we order it every time they visit us. This place is a must-try if you are into bar pizza!

I don't recommend this place due to a complete lack of accountability and poor customer service…read more I placed an order through their website using the Slice app and received a confirmation text saying it would be ready at 6:08 PM. Since the location was only about 6 minutes away, I left at 6:00. I initially went to the Brockton location, but they didn't have my order. I immediately called the Whitman location (the correct one linked in my confirmation), and the owner/manager told me they didn't have my order either and suggested it might be at the Brockton location--which I had already confirmed wasn't the case. After checking again, I called back, and he said they would "look into the Slice app" since they hadn't received the order and would start making it, with a 30-minute wait. By then, I had already been waiting about an hour. When I arrived, I was told they hadn't even started cooking my food. The manager said it would be another 20 minutes and made a dismissive comment about possibly making my order sooner if they finished someone else's first. There was no apology, no accountability--just attitude. After waiting even longer, I finally got my food, only to have the owner try to blame me for going to the wrong location, even though I had contacted the correct one right away and was told the order wasn't there. He then claimed the Slice app "doesn't work properly" and that I should call instead. I later contacted Slice, and they told me the owner reported that I went to the wrong location and they couldn't accommodate me--which is not true. If the Slice app doesn't work, why use it at all? This experience was frustrating, time-consuming, and handled very unprofessionally. I won't be returning or recommending this place.

Super cool vibe here and the service is excellent! I was so impressed with the two pages of vegan…read moreoptions on the menu and the food was superb. I had the vegan margarita pizza and I have to say that they had the best vegan cheese I've had in a long time. It wasn't overly sticky or oily. It was perfect! I highly recommend this place. You'll have good food and a good time.

Stopped in based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp. Showed up around 7pm on a Sunday…read moreand it was near capacity but we were able to be seated right away. The dining room is fairly small with some bar seating available as well. It was clean and bright. It took about 7 mins for the server to come over and she lead with "are you ready to order?" I guess simple pleasantries are useless anyway. We knew our drinks and appetizers order but not what we wanted for pizza yet so we ordered those and told her we'd order pizzas when the apps and drinks came. She came back about 3 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order yet. Feeling pressured, we ordered thinking that perhaps they close soon (not the case). The bartender delivered our drinks a few minutes later and about 5 mins after that both the appetizers and pizza arrived at the same time. Besides the fact that our table wasn't large enough to accommodate all that food and drink, it was never our intention to eat our appetizers with our meal. The good news is that the food was hot, fresh and tasty. The potato bombs were excellent. Crispy home fry like potatoes and the peppers had a nice heat. I would love to try the popper version next time. The pizzas were good too, but be prepared for floppy and slightly under done base crust but a perfectly charred edge crust. I find many wood fired pizza to come this way but I did see other reviews mention this as a negative. The bill comes in a small ball jar with a delicious rice crispy treat. While the jar worked it must have made it hard to see that I dropped my credit card in it, so after the waitress walked by a few times I removed the card and made it visible on the table. When the tab came to sign I was not given a pen. I should have walked out and just let them charge me for just the tab but I cannot stiff waitstaff, even when it's poor service. My only hope is that it was the waitress's first day and she somehow figures out the typical cadence and procedure involved in waiting tables. Food was a solid 4 but service was a 2 so I landed on a 3. I would definitely go back hoping for a better server.
