This restaurant has passed through quite a number of hands since I first ate here in 2017, but none come close to the quality of the current establishment. The new ownership has redone the entire menu, and they are clearly using very high quality ingredients and cooking them perfectly. Don't let the old reviews fool you, Verona (now called Middletown Valley Pizzeria) is a superb local family eatery. read more

The pizza and Stromboli were both fantastic and the sauce rocks! That Stromboli was huge and so so good! It was a delicious dinner and will also be my lunch tomorrow. read more

Food is OK until I found a literally fly in the salad of my wrap. I messaged them in facebook regarding this along with a picture of the fly on the wrap and got no response back. I definitely won't be recommending this place unless if they're okay with the possible bug in their food. read more

Verona Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

Decent neighborhood joint. Not the same as James Gang but still above average. Eating inside is depressing since it used to be so vibrant but now mostly carry out. read more

ordered a gyro and grape leaves (they weren't listed as Dolmades). gyro was just okay. half the meat was a little too dry and crisp. not much tzatziki sauce on the gyro so it was not the best. it was only $8 so that was a bonus. now the grape leaves. so they are served hot with marinara sauce. always had dolmades cold with tzatziki sauce so i was bewildered. wow were they good. not real full but the flavor mixed with the marinara sauce was really good. probably will be back just not for a gyro read more

food was incredible. The service was also incredible. Me and my friend stopped by there after school. We went there instead of Safeway to get fried chicken. It was incredible. The pizza was salty greasy it was incredible. Definitely recommend to others. read more

We go every weekend. Staff is great and the entrees are unique and awesome. Waiters are pleasant and remember our favorite entrees.

my elderly dad was visiting and I specifically asked for a plate with no spicy in it. got some sorta rice and chicken with a lot of buffalo sauce. it messed his stomach for days and when I picked up they were giggling at us while delivering the order. this happened four months ago. Price doesn't justify the poor food quality read more

Pizza was great!! Way better than James Gang pizzeria, wish it was Verona pizza 15 years ago, we would have had better pizza to eat in Middletown Md, read more

Definitely deserves a better rating the gyro was amazing as well as the chicken cheese steak. Looking forward to trying the pizza

Pizza used to be decent but the last 2 times the cheese smells and tastes sour Disappointing

Well you can't usually go wrong with pizza, butttt I must say this wasn't the best pizza I've ever had. I ordered a 16" thin crust pizza. The ordering process over the phone was friendly enough and the pizza arrived in the expected amount of time. However... when I picked up my first slice of pizza alllll of the cheese (and toppings) slid right of the crust so not ideal in a good pizza. Additionally I wasn't blown away by the taste (it wasn't very cheesy? As one expects from a pizza?) All in all I would probably order my pizza from somewhere else next time. read more

Verona's is amazing, the food, the people! They have the best servers and cooks. 10/10 recommended!

Called and order food to be delivered. It took about 30 minuTes for it to to arrive but once our food was there, we were not impressed. We ordered steak and cheese subs and cheese fries. The sub rolls were over baked and had no flavor even though we got the works on it, and the cheese fries were so crispy that they were half burnt. We was very dIsappointed in how our food turned out, it wasn't worth the money we spent on it. Since this place has changed hands, the food is terrible and over priced. We will not bee ordering food from there again There are better place in the area with better food and well worth the money. read more

For those that like Dominos / Papa Johns type pies this may be good ... but not for me (noted pizza snob). I did like the cheesesteak ... a lot ... but can't give this more than two ... sorry :( read more

First time here and I enjoyed it very much. My friends and I spent the whole day tubing, and this was the best ending to such a great day. The pizza was delish and the waitress was very friendly. Fyi, they have really good mozzarella sticks...like they're really good. That's all I can say since I've only been once. But it was a great experience and would love to visit again. read more

The past two times I've been to James gang the food has been nothing less then delicious! From their subs to the pizza to the wings everything was fresh and desirable! This place doesn't get the credit it deserves! read more

Classic sub shop with delivery. The food is above average but the pizza , Stromboli, calzones are exceptional. If you order delivery it will take 45 minutes plus. Get the Calzone. read more

Great home town pizza joint. I grew up on James Gang and am admittedly biased. The pizzas are equal amounts cheese and sauce. The crust is cooked well enough to hold all toppings. Just plain old good pizza. read more

This place has gone downhill over the last few years. The service staff is poorly trained, the menu items are inconsistently prepared and it just feels like generally there is no investment in improvements for the future. read more

doesn't look like much on the outside but it's in my route and I am so glad I stopped here. stuffed grape leaves and calzones are delicious . kids like the tenders and pizza. customer service is really great - and I don't mind stopping for a quick bite or sitting for a great glass of wine. read more

We ordered two 12' thin pizzas for delivery. They were almost inedible - there was way too much sauce for the crust, and the crust was soggy and undercooked. When you picked up a slice, the entire top of the pizza slid off the limp sloppy crust. I picked the cheese off of mine, wiped off half the sauce, and ate it with the outside edge of the crust (the only part of the pizza that was cooked). My husband stormed out of the house and drove to town to get himself a meal he could actually eat. We will never, never order from Verona again. Very disappointed. read more

I think the subs, and pasta dishes are average. The pizza preparation is different as they put the "toppings" under the cheese. They are great for groups, families, or delivering a post game or performance gathering. read more

Didn't get a chance to taste the food-wait was too long. Tables were open, but the hostess was taking phone orders. Seems as though they have a busier take out business or were just understaffed. The food looked good on others' plates, though! read more

Went to James Gang Pizza 1st time with new owners. Had the lasagna which was my favorite with old owners. This was great, I am very picky about lasagna so didn't know what to expect. I gave it a 5 because I couldn't pick between both old and new. My daughter had pizza and fries, she said fries were good, crispy on the outside and soft on inside. She said her pizza was very good and did not need the extra cheese. Forgot about the bread that goes with lasagna, exactly the same. Great, will be back. read more

We ordered three pizzas from here, the Hawaiian, vegetarian and a simple cheese pizza for the kids. We were not impressed at all with the pizza. The cheese on all of the pizza wasnt fully cooked. There was too much ham on the Hawaiian. There were barely any vegetables in the vegetarian. We were very let down. read more

I was not impressed by the food to say the very least. I ordered a calzone and it was soggy and stale uncooked on the inside and too crunchy on the outside. To make matters worse I even found a hair in it that was not mine! Talk about gross! I was incredibly displeased. If I could I would give it a half a star or even .3 star :/ read more

Ordered for the first time since the new owners took over. Both the pizza and Stromboli were excellent! I would totally recommend it!

It is not a restaurant where you must dress up, or a place where anyone might feel uncomfortable. It is a homey easy going place that sometimes is filled with teens, or families, or just adults, and that's ok! The pizza here is really good, but our favorite is the chicken calzone. Fabulous. Served with enough sauce on the side to really dive in and enjoy. James Gang is a middletown staple. We would order delivery but alas we are half a block out of their cut off zone! But eating in is fine too. Try the meatballs on the pizza. Yum. read more

Always have great pizza and good service. And one of the only places that delivers to braddock!

This is our go-to place when we visit Gladhill Furniture once a year. My impression this time was a bit poorer than last year's. One waitress was waiting about six tables. There was one longish wait, but the service was acceptable and friendly. I started with an appetizer salad. I shouldn't have bothered. It was a heap of wilting, soggy, and slightly pink iceberg lettuce with a few bits of carrots and radishes (clearly bagged salad from Costco on its last day) and two wedges of tomato. A package of Ken's dressing comes on the side. I left most of it untouched, but the waitress made no comment when she carted it away. The fries were slightly overdone but were hot and had a nice taste. My wife really liked her eggplant parmesan. We got the cheese pizza (with about 5 cheeses on it). While the sauce and crust were OK, the gooey cheese was delicious - helped by the more unusual swiss and american cheese mixed in. read more

I lived in the valley for years and moved away . Knowing we would be passing thru we wanted to eat James gang sad to said it was nearly as good as it once was . We arrived around 1;30 pm we asked what the soup of the day was the waitress said I haven't started one yet ;( at 1:30 when u open at 11am ? Food had no flavor diff not worth the $44 bill . Went next store and someone saw he had our left overs in the box and asked if we liked it , I gave them a honest answer and said years ago it was good but not now she said that's what I was told too by another customer ;( read more

When we first moved to Middletown my wife and I always joked about James Gang. We called it "Restaurant" as the generic electric sign above the store front says. Since then, we have enjoyed the food from "Restaurant" many times. "Restaurant" has the benefit of being one of only a handful of restaurants within Middletown proper. The only downside is the fair. It's about what you would expect at an Italian "Restaurant." I've yet to find anything earth shattering from them that makes me want to visit "Restaurant" more often than when the occasional Italian bug bites me. Still, they do one thing exceedingly well. Pizza. Fairly priced, and well seasoned. My kids enjoy it too, making it a nice go-to place when I need to feed them or visiting family members. Given the propensity of Italian restaurants to favor "familia," I'm happy to call James Gang Pizzeria my local Italian "Restaurant." read more

I add mushroom to the white pizza and it's my second favorite pizza in the county. They now have a very large large screen TV. Lunch service is always slow, but so are the other spots; it's a lazy kinda town and that's fine with me! They do a lot of take out business. The antipasta salad is a big hit with my family as are the cheesy fries! read more

Great pizza and subs. Every time I'm in Middletown order from James Gang. I'm always pleased

Pizza is not so good, but I do enjoy their subs and some of their starters. Good atmosphere and friendly service.

We had the thin crust pizza for take out. It was bland and the crust was soft. It was just ok.

Best local subs and gyros pizza is great too love this place
