So I made the decision to try all the pizza places on 2nd Street. Just a random idea and since we were back on lockdown I said why not. So I had the opportunity to try Valentino’s two nights in a row. Wasn’t part of the plan, but hey I’m a fan of Valentino’s now. So i was going to go down to Domenico’s and even Buono’s down on Willow because it was highly rated. That didn’t happen after all.
It was about 8:30p and both locations stopped doing take out and they said they were closing early because the lack of business. So I called Valentino’s and they were open! Not only were they clutch. After I placed my order they told me to come back in about 5 minutes and I went and sat in the car because, winter solstice duh. But i then lost track of time yelping and what not. But the cashier who cooked my pizza as well walked outside with my pizza looking for me! I felt bad but it was very impressive. I enjoyed the pizza that I had the night before but walking outside looking aimlessly for a customer. That’s true customer service.
I mean who comes outside looking for their customer during a pandemic and it’s 48 degrees outside at 9:00 p.m. lol But not only that But the crust is the champ it has a sourdough taste to it that gives the mozzarella a nice kick in the teeth. Also the big thing for me is when you take a piece of pizza the toppings don’t fall off the pie and it didn’t it was solid with Valentino’s Pizza. So it’s a really good pizza and every time we’ve came the last two nights they’re always cleaning being productive. Which is awesome to see at people care about their business and the work environment. And the crust past the morning after test the crust wasn’t hard as a rock it was chewy just like it was when I bought it which is awesome. I look forward to going back and trying more toppings. Great spot.
WOW. This pizza is so good! Incredible crust, lots of delicious cheese and so flavorful. I’ve found my new favorite pizza. Their breadsticks are amazing too!
Solidly good pizza pies, delivered with a smile. I placed our order via Yelp/Grubhub, which arrived on time. We had several special instructions (well done, extra sauce, different toppings on each half), which were accommodated perfectly. With tax, tip, and delivery fee, a large pizza with 3 toppings will run you just under $30.
Their crust resembles a New York style-thicker than a traditional Italian, but more crisp and flavorful than the standard doughy American. While lacking the tender chew of a true NY crust, it is still pretty good. Their sauce is a standard slow cooked marinara, and the toppings are of passable quality, but the pie as a whole has good ratios of everything, and tastes great.
We have ordered from here twice this week, and will definitely continue to do so.
