Frank and Clara Montanile lived in New York City for over 10 years, and it was there that they learned exactly what a New York style pizza should taste like. A New York style pizza is made by hand (not machine rolled) and is on the thinner side compared to a “normal” pizza. The crust should be minimal and it should not be too large. A true New York style pizza will serve huge slices that consists of a 20” pizza or larger. The slice has to be large enough so you can fold it when taking a bite. NY Style Pizzerias also use whole milk mozzarella cheese.
The Party Pizza Challenge is a contest where two individuals purchase a 24” Party Pizza with as little or as many toppings as they wish. Once the pizza is brought to the table, they have one hour to completely finish the entire pizza—including the crust. If they achieve their goal, they each get a Party Challenge Venezia’s Shirt and a polaroid photo that goes on our Wall of Fame. There’s no extra awards for anyone who decides to try to accomplish this challenge solo.
Of course we cut our pizza! The scene on Breaking Bad where Badger says we don’t was just a skit. We do cut our pizza, and at no extra charge.
We bottle and sell our salad dressings at each of our five locations. They’re made in house and sealed to provide our customers with the ultimate freshness. Stop by the retail counter at any location to buy a bottle of our Greek, Buttermilk Ranch, or Italian dressings.
Venezia’s president Domenick Montanile’s father was born and raised in Napoli, Italy and his mother was born and raised in Roma, Italy. They met in the Bronx, NY in the late 1960’s while learning English. When they decided to open their first restaurant together they argued over calling it Naples or Roma, but finally settled on Venezia’s since they both loved visiting Venice, Italy.
No! Since “Venezia’s” is very hard to pronounce, and also because it’s known in Albuquerque, NM but not in Phoenix, we chose “Pepino’s Pizza.” This name was chosen because Pepino’s is a childhood song in many traditional Italian families. It refers to an Italian mouse who steals cheese from a homeowner. The song was sung by an Italian named Lou Monte. After 3 years—and a trademark lawsuit from a Pepino’s Restaurant in California—we decided to change the name back to Venezia’s. We also decided to get the National Trademark so we wouldn’t have any more trademark issues. However, customers who came in during those first 3 years still call us Pepino’s today!
