Old Venice Pizza Co.

This is the saddest s5 pizza I've ever received. I've eaten countless s5 pizzas from here, and this is the most pathetic I've ever seen. I don't know if it's a kitchen issue, or management, but as of late, this place has been lacking on the quality of food.

Wonderful! The complimentary bread and melted garlic butter are ! I had the margarita pizza which was fresh and delicious and everyone else at the table was very pleased with their dishes. Portions were generous! Service was attentive. Small pizza served myself and a small child.

Absolutely delicious! My daughter follows a gluten-free diet and said it's the best gluten-free pizza she's ever tried! I had a slice of her pizza, and it was fantastic— the sauce was amazing! I ordered a salad, which, while not large, was fresh and featured really tasty grilled chicken. We're only in town for three days, but my daughter has already asked to come back! View menu

Showed up at 815pm (every app shows close at 9pm, except online shows 10pm) and told they were no longer seating customers. People were still in the dining and bar area, so not sure exactly what time to show up. Came to Oxford with my wife who attended college here, she raved of the place but obviously was a different time. Unless we, our family, or friends want lunch, we will not recommend.

Old Venice use to be a favorite of mine in town before they decided to revamp the restaurant and menu. Not only did they remove some or not only mine but my fiends favorites- they added dishes that I honestly could have done without. While the free bread and oil is always a good thing to see, it doesn't make up for them going from two to three items I could enjoy in rotation to now just one.

Last night we ordered a cheese pizza and lasagna to go. The pizza crust was burnt and paper-thin with burnt cheese bubbles all over. I should have looked at it before I got home. The lasagna had burnt cheese as well. I know the chef must have looked at it before putting the pizza in the box. It looked leftover from lunch. I should have been brilliant and ordered from Pizza Hut. One star for the diet coke, Go back to being the Old Venice or close! View menu

I never write bad reviews. Maybe this was just a bad night. I do believe the service did they best they could, but the food was awful. I ordered the chicken fettuccini, and was actually happy that they came back to tell me they were out of chicken and could substitute shrimp instead. Then they delivered three out of our four meals explaining that my son 's lasagna had to thaw a little longer . I held off on eating until his food was delivered. By then, the congealed greasy fettuccini was overpowered by the spoiled shrimp they served me. I 'm literally writing this review while sick from the meal. The two stars are for the luke warm beer I was able to enjoy somewhat while waiting on the disgu...

Our server, Meg, was extremely friendly and always kept our drinks topped up. The highlight of any meal here for me is definitely the warm, flavorful bread and garlic oil served to start. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, which were impressively crunchy on the outside with a surprisingly soft center—unlike any cheese stick I've had before. Although they lacked a bit of flavor on their own, they paired wonderfully with the garlic oil from the bread. I chose the Caesar salad, while my partner opted for the lasagna. The salad was okay, though it had an odd, almost sweet taste. The lasagna boasted good flavor but was let down by its texture—the noodles were definitely overcooked. The...

So, I made the trek back downstairs to order from the lunch menu. Yet again, I found myself waiting to be seated in a restaurant without a hostess. After about 15 minutes, a waiter finally told me I could sit at a table along the wall. I finally settled in, and my waiter brought me some sweet tea, but it took a long time for him to take my order. During this wait, he did bring some complimentary bread and melted butter, which was quite good. At one point, I overheard him explaining to some customers that they were short-staffed—they had no dishwasher or hostess available. Eventually, my order arrived: spaghetti with two meatballs in marinara sauce. Unfortunately, they skimped on the sauce,... View menu
