18 reviews for Villa Nova Pizzeria
This is everything that you'd want in a pizzeria. Good food, good people, and good prices. Not to mention, they offer a friendly and quick delivery service.
If you're looking for the latest toppings, look elsewhere. If you're looking for an old-school, no frills pizza joint that kicks out a solid cheese/sausage pizza, look no further. This place is as consistent and solid as they come.
If only they were closer...
this place is a pizza factory-super thin-super fresh ingredients-only problem is pizza is so thin, you need alot to be satisfied-also prices are not cheap for a divey pizza place-pizza is first class-i reco the sausage
Villa Nova pizza has the best thin crust pizza I have ever had, Having lived in Stickney for 22 years I grew up on this pizza, I always get the cheese and sausage. I have to warn you though, you can become addicted to this pizza it's that good!!!!!
The sausage,green pepper and onion pizza did not have much flavor or seasoning, it was pretty bland. The edges of the pizza were very good.
The garlic dressing for the salad was great but the salad was too plain also had to dump all the olives that come on the salad..
Vito & Nicks much better. No one sitting at tables at 5 PM. BYOB.
This is by far THE BEST PIZZA in the world!!!!
My brother-in-law used to work in Cicero and bring this pizza home all the time - I love it so much I still drive to Stickney to get my Villa Nova fix! I wish every day there was a Villa Nova on the Northside of Chicago! The buttery crust and taste is out of this world!
My favorite combo - Double Dough, extra sauce, onions and either sausage or pepperoni. YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!
I was just about to sign papers at the closing on a house I was buying in fabulous Forest View Illinois...when from across the table the nice folks I was buying from hollered out:
"Oh! We almost forgot to tell you about the pizza!"
I was then commanded to only order from Villa Nova...the only pizza the house had ever had inside in 50 years. Those folks were right on! Great thin crispy crackery crust, good flavor, fast delivery. My only beef with Villa Nova...I too wish there was a way to somehow make the cheese stick to the bottom more. But since I think it's impossible to do - I'll continue to order this delicious neighborhood pizza and you should to!
Let me say again that I'm really picky about my pizza. And, I'll add that I went here because I was told it was for those weirdo who do not like Chicago style pizza.
The crust is great. I love it. It's the right texture, not too thin (I wouldn't say like a cracker crust), not too thick, not mushy, a little texture, it's wonderful.
The cheese is lumpy and slides off the pizza, along with all the toppings. When you make a pizza with thin crust, you really should put the toppings on top of the pizza. It seemed like they used canned mushrooms and the onions have not tasted fresh.
I am going to keep searching for that great pizza.
I love this pizza its one of the favoritos of mine. I am so picky about sausage and this is the sausage pizza that I will eat. Thin crispy lightly buttery flavor crust so delicious. Damn I can go for one now. Yea its greasy but a good and delicious greasy. Yummerz
This pizza is so thin, if you held it up at eye level, all you would see are the cheese and toppings! Don't get me wrong, the crust is there. It's just so thin and cooked just right that the perfect flaky-crispy crust makes such a nice crunchy sound, but not overly-crunchy.
Toppings. I'm simple when it comes to toppings. The reason is that if the pizza is truly good, the sauce and crust are all you should need. But, some good sausage grease from large almost 1-inch in diameter Italian chunks and some onions baked into it never hurts (so long as the sausage is good, unlike Domino's...wait that's NOT pizza!)
I think the Villa might be a little better than John's on Western, but they are similar. I'm not sure. Haven't had John's since last winter.
Delivery was fast and hot and the delivery boy might have been stoned. Wish I could be stoned at work...haha.
Oh how I wish I lived closer to this place. The pizza is so thin that it just doesn't travel well in the car for 20 minutes waiting for me to get home. And the "restaurant" atmosphere here is not exactly what I'm looking for.
Their pizza is one of the best thin crust pizzas you will ever find ANYWHERE. Thin thin thin.
I have been ordering from Villa Nova off and on for years now. My significant other at the time swore by this place and whenever I was in the mood for pizza, she would demand Villa Nova.
I am a fan of thin crust. While Villa Nova makes a very good thin crust, there are others I prefer. About a year or so ago, Villa Nova changed ownership. The version made by the previous owners had more fennel in the sausage and cut the pizza in little squares so that each piece had one ball of sausage on it. The new owners have taken a bit of the fennel out of it, are a bit looser about how they slice it, and seemed to have added a bit of butter or olive oil to the crust.
What you have now is a pretty good thin crust pizza. But the changes have made the pizza a bit more pedestrian, but should appeal to more people. But what is lost is that distinctive flavor and appearance that was in the old Villa Nova pizza.
The pizzaria itself lends itself to "take out" mode, always have. The dining area itself is a bit dirty and void of charm. The cooking area is wide open and you can see your pizza being assembled and cooked while you wait. The pizza itself is an excellent pizza, while not my favorite, it is clear that it has a huge following. The sausage pizza is classic thin crust, thin crust but not cracker crunchy, nice sauce with just a bit of spice, just the right amount of cheese and 1/2" balls of sausage. When you order a pizza with mushroom, they use the canned variety. Cheese pizza is great too, again, very thin. Veggie pizza just doesn't work with their type of pizza. I found the pepperoni a bit greasy. My don't likes with this pie, it's a bit salty and the olive oil in the crust doesn't appeal to me. But minor defects really.
While I don't promise you'll be in awe over this pie, I think most people will find it appealing, it has the potential to become one of your favorites.
I took my son there to get some mostacholi and I got a meatball sandwich for myself. I must say that the mostacholi was the BEST I've ever had. It had a delicious meat sauce and tons of mozzarella cheese on it. The sandwich was also great, the sauce had great flavor, I believe it was the same one they used for the mostacholi and it also had mozzarella cheese. The meatballs could have been bigger but other than that it was all good.
I've only eaten pizza from here a few times when I was over at my cousin's house, but they have a unique flavor and a wide array of toppings. They're not as sweet as Nonno's, not as bland as Bacci's, but somewhere kind of in between. It's probably closer to Al's or Salerno's in terms of the sauce flavor but not really. If you don't want Pizza Hut or the newly-opened Little Caesar's, give these guys a shot.
I live down the street from this place and have to admit that it is one of the best pizza places around. I agree with another yelper that the only place that can come close is John's on Western Ave in the city. Once I move out of the area, this is the only restaurant in berwyn I will come back for. Delicious! I usually keep it simple with cheese or cheese and tomato.
Absoultely the BEST thin-crust pizza I have EVER had. Others pale in comparison. The other crusts they offer are okay, but the thin-crust is transcendant. My favorite is pepperoni with extra cheese. My wfie loves the sausage (and she's picky about Italian sausage - she prefers to make her own!). The kids love just plain cheese (with extra cheese), and it's my second favorite. Delivery is fairly quick, but you can save 15-20 minutes (and a tip) by picking it up.
Some of the best pizza around. It's super thin, so if you're looking for something with substance, you won't get it here. Taste, however, you will get. I've heard good things about the Italian sausage, but my favorite toppings are: tomato, onion and pineapple. Sounds gross, but tastes fantastic.
Half of my chintzy slice was stuck to the box. I should've left it there. It resembled bowling alley or roller rink pizza at its worst.
The worst thin crust I've had. Greasy and stuck to the bottom of the box.
