Not an artisan pizza or a hand tossed crust. Their specialty is a perfect thin crispy crust. It is very consistent in form and thickness which leads me to believe that it is factory premade. Premade or not, it forms an excellent base for the pie. This is not NY style pizza, so save your bitchin' for someone who cares. This is a good ol' small town, pizza joint pizza, loaded with a generous thick layer of fresh ingredients. 12" Papa Joe's Supreme. Not greasy, not overloaded with sauce. It is packed with meat, veggies and cheese. We had leftovers. Still tasty, cold from the refrigerator the next day. Big comfortable deck with picnic tables for outside dining. Nice view of the cove. Right next door to Sharky's ice house. I imagine this place gets to rockin' on the weekend. Friendly service. Great place to spend this beautiful spring afternoon. The pizza is good! Someone's dog either bit someone or took a crap on the deck; as of March, no dogs allowed. read more

Never have had a bad slice. Good pizza and cold beer with a good view of boats and Grand Lake. Could life get any better?

I wanted to like this place, but I can't because well I'm 43 and clearly look 43 and everyone I was with did NOT get ID'd!!!! I repeat DID NOT GET ID'D!!!!! ONLY I GOT ID'D and I'm not mad about that it's a little flattering, but they sent us to this different area and dogs were NOT allowed and of course we had our fur baby with us, then we went ahead and ordered our pizza just to find out it's gonna be an hour before we can even get our pizza and go about our own business..... So needless to say I WILL NOT EVER BE BACK!!!!! My family I'm with will NEVER come back and that sucks because I hear from a LOT of locals that this is a great place, but unfortunately I did NOT have that experience!!!!! Not blaming all the workers just a couple of them FUKN SUCK!!!!!! read more

Fun place on the water with casual atmosphere! Pizza this year is lacking crust is thin and cardboard like. Topping seem different not as good or plentiful! Not sure servers know what to do. Previously go to place for pizza not anymore. read more

The pizza is delicious. The taco pizza is a must have. It's so good I got it 2 days in a row. read more

Another restaurant that benefits from its surroundings. A frozen pizza would be delicious dockside at Grand Lake. But, the pizza here is better than reheated frozen pizza. Beer selection is minimal. Deck is nice and there's TVs for watching the game. (We visited earlier this fall so I'm not sure what the off-season hours are.) Good lake eating spot. read more

Pizza is always good and fast! Great place to pull up to on the boat! Services is friendly and welcoming!

Wonderful spot! The food was excellent, and we sat on the patio for lunch and had a pretty nice view. It's next to a marina so we took a walk down there after and saw some turtles, fun for my son. Service was excellent and the pizza was great. They have cauliflower and gluten free crust options which meant I could enjoy it too! Love it when a good local spot has some options! We had a veggie, cheese, and the BBQ chicken pizza (GF crust for that one). Everyone loved it. I've never seen my 4 year old eat so much pizza! We will be back! read more

Great food, handmade crust with perfect amount of sauce and they don't skimp on the toppings. Quality ingredients, excellent service, and they are right on the lake. Excellent outdoor seating, but limited indoor seating; however, we didn't go for indoor seating so that was just fine for us! A wonderful experience, and certainly plan to visit again when we are at grand lake! PS: I'm gluten free and they have a gluten-free crust and a cauliflower crust; try the gluten-free crust and will probably try cauliflower next time! They are definitely doing it right! read more

Pizza was really good and service was fast and friendly. Enjoyed sitting by the lake on their deck. 3rd time there.

Pizza is fantastic! Jackhammer is the best 'meat lovers' I have ever had. Thin crust is THIN and crispy. read more

Vip Pizza - Jackhammer pizza - Italian Near Me

Best pizza on Grand lake! It's always a must on our lake weekends!! Our favorite is starting off with loaded breadsticks and following that with the jackhammer pizza! read more

This is our first time to the Grand Lake area. We decided to try this place out based on the location on the water. We ordered pizza rolls (basically pepperoni pizza pinwheels). They came out on foil that they had been cooked on and it was quite obvious that they forgot to put oil on the foil. This left us picking foil off of the food and you lost half the cheese because it stuck to the foil. We advised waitress and she said "yeah, they have been doing that all day. I don't know why". We ended up leaving half of them because they just fell apart trying to pull foil off. Then we ordered the white pizza, add mushrooms. The pizza arrived with no mushrooms. When we pointed it out, the waitress said she was sorry about that and she would make sure that we weren't charged for the mushroom add on. The pizza was okay. I would call it average. The Alfredo sauce was pretty bland. No real offer to try to make it a better experience. Brought us the bill and made sure to point out again that they didn't charge for the mushrooms. We probably won't be back. read more

Called ahead...restaurant is small but they now have overflow seating in Sharkys , the open air bar next door. We had 12 in our party! Split 4 large pizzas, a few salads and beers..out the door for $120 Can't beat it...right on the water! read more

Vip Pizza - Italian Near Me

I love to eat at this pizzeria. The best in the area. The staff are very friendly but professional.

VIP used to be the best pizza, it was stuffed with toppings yet tonight the amount of toppings was disappointing. It was still quite tasty and I recommend the spinach chicken pizza with white sauce but all are good. We arrived for dinner and they were slammed. They said it would be an hour and a half to get our food. We ordered at the counter as there wasn't a table yet. The credit card machine would not process my credit card. I payed with cash. Fifteen minutes later I got a call from my credit cards fraud alert over this charge-that was really weird. We found a table and received our pizza in 45 minutes. No one offered us beverages, and at the end of the meal we finally found a waitress to bring us water. It was crazy busy, the view of the water gorgeous, and the deck with fans was actually delightful. The counter girl was a little slow and not helpful but we did get the correct order. read more

Best pizza I've ever had and great environment! I usually opt for the Great White (Alfredo sauce, artichokes, chicken) or the Jackhammer (meat lovers). Check it out! read more

Love this thin, crispy crust pizza! Sauce is more savory and you can't go wrong with whatever toppings you like. It's right on the lake so we usually sit outside on the patio and watch all the boats. This place is a must anytime we come to Grand Lake. They also serve sandwiches for the non-pizza eaters. read more

This is some of the best pizza you will find, not only at Grand Lake but anywhere. A friend recommended this place to us a few years back, and we come here every weekend. The pizza is absolutely incredible, the service is good, and the Sharkeez bar that is attached has a fun outdoor atmosphere. It's the perfect summer eatery / hangout. They also have live music on weekends which is really good. All that said, if you don't come for anything else, come for the pizza. I cannot express enough how amazing the pizza is. It's such a small, arguably random place that you wouldn't expect to have such good food, but I promise it's worth it! read more

Great pizza. Great atmosphere and vies of the lake. Recommend you stop here while you are enjoying grand lake

We've been here about 5 times. The experience itself is not something I enjoy. The place is gross. As for the pizza I thought it was good one time. The people with me have been more receptive to it - although the past 2 times all four people in our party did not like it. I don't think I'll be back here to give it another try. read more

the most awesomest place ever. outstanding pizza. outstanding workers. highly recommend chicken bacon ranch

Decent pizza place for the area. If were in larger area with other pizza options would say average. However, for the area, some of the better pizza we have had. Really enjoy Sunday summer afternoons at Sharky's listening to live music and having cold beer and VIP pizza. read more

In short: bad pizza, worse service. Pizza tastes bad. Greasy and undercooked. Bad ingredients. Don't expect a hello when you walk in. There are better options elsewhere. read more

If you've never eaten here-you're missing out. The best pizza on the lake. Quick, easy, delicious. Either by land or water, definitely the place to go on Grand. read more

Love the pizza, best pizza you can get from the water, great environment amazing staff! And not to mention a good bar in the same parking lot typically with a great band! I vote it 10/10 read more

Pizza while not the same quality as Gambino's down the street is not bad in a pinch when you're on the lake and hungry. The problem is with the in attentive staff. Especially the manager who exhibits an arrogant attitude whilst allowing the staff to stand around aimlessly. A little more customer focus could go a long way. Unless I'm on the water I'll certainly make my way to Gambino's. read more

Would not recommend this pizza joint. Pizzas ere substandard with a bitter sauce and service is non existent. Save your money.

The worst service I have ever had in my life! I walked in when no one was there and when I checked in on where my pizza was 45 min into it they said my pizza was still 45 Min out!!!! They weren't ever busy! And they were very rude! Not a good Grand Lake experience. Definitely go with Shebangs for pizza. read more

The pizza is OK, nothing special, will do what it was intended to do. It's kind of fun to go there by boat when there is a band just to watch all the drunk people do what drunk people do. Our boat included. Lol read more

We go here probably once a week, by boat or by car. Either way, parking is easy. Really good bleu cheese dressing on the salad; breadsticks are great; pizza is also good and some of the specialty pies are a good change-up once in a while. Ali the server is the best. She knows how to run that place and gets everything right. The waterfront deck has misters for really hot days--that's nice. Good pizza, good beer, good atmosphere. You won't regret going here. read more

Love this place! Awesome pizza!! Prices are not bad! Go try them you won't regret it!

This is another fun venue on Grand Lake. Best Pizza in the area. Boat up or drive up. Spacious open air bar with live music in the spring-fall seasons. Check it out. read more

Worst customer service ever. Kids running around and a bar next door. No managers in sight for the slow service. Kids look worn out. Slow service. Someone said this is where swinger's hang out. If so then I guess maybe they get their pizza faster than we did. Odd place. We wont be back . read more

My family and I eat here every time we are at our lake house. The pizza is amazing and the service is great. We love the patio and it's very kid friendly. read more
