Pizza Villa

Our favorite neighborhood pick up place. We call it in and our dinner is always hot and ready for us to drive up and quickly get. Excellent friendly customer service, quaint inside with good Italian Greek food and cold beer.

The turkey sandwich is so yummy! I add bacon to mine. The eggplant fries are awesome and we like to add cheese and bacon to them because cheese and bacon makes everything better! The pizza is decent. The Greek salad dressing is so good! We came to Florida to visit family that recently moved to the area and needed a place to eat for my birthday that was close to the house after the long drive and stumbled upon this place and we were all pleasantly surprised! So glad we did! Best turkey sandwich we have had since we left Rhode Island years ago! Christina the waitress there is very friendly and awesome! Ask for her when you go!

I’m giving it 2 stars because the dessert was ok. I was so disappointed in the food. I can’t even tell you… It smelled strange, the sauce was freezer burnt I’m pretty sure and had a fishy smell. I spent quite a bit on the food to go and was disgusted. I tried to stomach it because I have literally nothing to eat in my house right now, but I couldn’t. I will starve until morning.
I may try this place again, since it seems the other reviewers were more upset with service than the food. Maybe I just got the bad luck of the draw.

It is what it is, they’ll give you tons of food at a reasonable price. The business has been there for years and years due to this consistency. They have a really good greek salad and the homemade greek dressing is awesome!

Fast service & decent food. Ok prices. gyro & Greek salad are pretty good. Not gourmet but good. Update my meal caught up with me at 4am & I’ve been ill for the last 4 hours! No more Pizza Villa for me.

A great place to take kids, Pizza Villa offers affordable traditional comfort food. If you want a bargain beverage, definitely get a pitcher of sangria. I couldn’t believe how much sangria was served for $ 12; it was a challenge for 2 of us to actually finish it during the nearly 2 hours we were there! I would definitely also order the Large Greek Salad with potato salad again. The portion was very generous for 4 big eaters and they serve the dressing on the side which is a bonus. We also ordered a gyro, baked penne with meat sauce, chicken parm and a pizza. Yea, we had leftovers! Everything was good and our server was good too. There were a lot of kids in the Reataurant and seeing how welcome they are was pretty awesome. I’ll definitely go back and when you’re craving carbs, you should too!

Filthy restaurant, crabby employees and microwaved food (made with Cisco or low quality ingredients). Go anywhere else. We have given it three times — out of strikes!

Great pizza, great service!
Called to order their pizza special and it was ready as promised.
My husband and I enjoyed it completely.
We will order out again!

CATERING REVIEW ONLY. Oh Pizza Villa. my family has been consistent patrons since you opened. However never catered from you until yesterday and it was a fail. Called in the order on Thursday for pick up on Sunday. I asked for it to be ready by 11 am. The individual on the phone said that should be possible and I asked that if it was going to be any later to please call me since our event started at 1pm. Then on Saturday we decided to eat dinner there to celebrate a birthday as well as to confirm the catering order to be picked up the next day. Our waitress confirmed the order and time. On Sunday, (thankfully) my dad (guest of honor for the event) didn’t leave to pick up the order until 12:20 and on the way called to confirm it was ready… and was told it was cooking. What!!! When he arrived, he then had to wait another 20 minutes for it to finish. So. he was late to his own event with 35 plus people there to see him. Pizza Villa told my dad it never made it into the system (even though we personally came in the night before to confirm it). What made it even more disappointing was the lack of concern shown by the pseudo manager in charge. My dad actually asked for an apology since during that whole time one was never given. Here is the thing… you often get one shot at providing a service and we gave you that shot for a very very important event. And we won’t use you again. Overall though the food was very good and enjoyed by our guests. I am just so thankful that we only catered a small portion of the event otherwise I fear none of the food would have been made.
Ps. we will of course continue to come for lunch/​dinner. Good local establishment with good food.

Great for kids/​families. Pizza hut quality pizza. Not NY style pizza. Salad seemed pre packages. Server was in a rush to get us out.

Food was horrible. I’ve been dieing to try their famous gyro and Greek Salad tats plastered all over the billboards. So today I gave it a shot. Let’s start with the stale pita bread or the gyro meat that tasted like it been sitting there 35 years. So I threw it away immediately. &started on my Greek Salad (Can’t go wrong with a salad) or so I thought. Until I was about half way done. And noticed a baby spider hanging on one of the leaves of lettuce. I wasn’t convinced until I put it on my finger and popped it and juice came out along with the tiny legs. So before yu indulge into your food might want to take a close look.

Everything is just o. k, nothing that really stands out except for the prices which are pretty up there for what you get. If you’re bored with the typical Dominoes or pizza Hut it was good for a change but at $ 17 for a large I probably wouldn’t do it again. Also there are several T. V’s in the restaurant and when we asked the young man seating us if we could be seated near one of the T. V’s to watch the game that was on he seemed irritated by our request. That’s what all the T. V’s are there for right? Our waitress wasn’t very attentive either, not that this place is fine dining but sometimes those are the things that decide whether you return or not.

Mom & Pop restaurant that will bring you back to your youth rather quickly.
If you were raised in Tampa you know how these restaurants look and work. They décor is lackluster but the food is like home cooking. There are a mix of Italian and Greek items and many different things to choose from. They Gyro is probably the best thing to order here. We brought the family with 3 little ones (5,3, newborn) The waitress was very nice and brought the kids over coloring pages and crayons without us even asking. We ordered a mix of both cuisines. We did a platter of spaghetti with sausage, the gyro sandwich and the greek salad. The food was filling but wasn’t as flavorful as I would have hoped.
The menu prices and specials outweigh the flavor if you have to feed an army of people.

Ordered last minute before closing and was surprised they took my order and wasn’t rude about it! Awesome! First time there and enjoyed a drive through pick up! Awesome service! Pizza dough is garlicky good and sauce was good. Toppings could be more plentiful since it was 3 toppings there wasn’t much. Also for a large it wasn’t as big as I hoped but the price was fair at $ 16. Overall I’ll be back but I’ll Oder more.

This is the second time we decided to give Pizza Villa a try and wish we had opted for something else. My husband and daughter both ordered pizza. My husband had the meat lovers and the meat def didn’t taste like steak, as advertised. Not good. I got the chicken parm. Very underwhelming. The best part was the Greek salad. Even with 3 of us sharing, there was more than plenty to take home as well. Staff was nice. Inside could be updated slightly. When we were there they opened the blinds next to us, which had dead flies on the sill. Yuck

Not the best place for pizza! We ordered a large cheese pizza… thinking we were getting a homemade Italian pizza pie, we picked out *tiny* box of pizza through the drive thru (only good thing about this place). The pizza cost almost $ 14! Pretty sure this isn’t homemade as it tastes like a hungry howies or dominos pizza… in fact save ur money and disappointment and just go to Howies instead.
Will not be returning here!

Where can someone in Lutz go to get some pizza? There are several places, this is the one we went to. Actually, we did takeout.
Pizza Villa is a stand-​alone restaurant with booth seating on Highway 54, serving both Italian and Greek food (I know, strange). Comfortable interior, and the staff I dealt with are all friendly and helpful. «The pizza should be ready in 15 – 20 minutes, you can come to the drive-​up window.» I did, and the girl who took the order immediately picked up the two large boxes and one small box of pizzas to give to us. Good service!
My daughter had a small cheese pizza (thick and gooey), and it was too large for her to finish in one sitting (well, she *is* 8 years old). The rest of us had two larges with chicken («chicken?»), bacon («crispy»), and pepperoni. It was good, but the taste didn’t really stand out, and the bacon overpowered everything. Not that I’m complaining; bacon is one of the four basic food groups, right? Total hit was just under $ 36, a typical price for this amount of pizza.
I’d think you can do better in Tampa/​St. Pete, but this is a good enough choice for North Tampa.

Very typical Italian and Greek fare for a good price. For Tuesday and Thursday dinner they have a pasta special for $ 4.99 which is a great value.
The food is always served hot and, for the most part, is prepared exactly as requested. The wait staff is friendly and courteous. When in Land O’ Lakes this is a great great stop for a fine, economical meal.

Today was our first visit. We were in the mood for pizza so we thought we would try Pizza Villa. The pizza was really good. The atmosphere is like an old italian restaurant for Florida tourists but this area isn’t a tourist area. They have a few TV’s and the lighting above the tables is perfect.
I’ll be back to try Greek next time.

Pizza Villa is a «Greektalian» restaurant, with both Greek and Italian fare. In my experience, this generally results in great Greek food and so-​so Italian. Therefore, I chose the Greek route.
I ordered the shrimp cocktail, chicken-​rice soup, and a gyro. The shrimp was served lukewarm (the waitress later stated that it had been cold, but was sitting under the heat lamp while it was waiting for pickup). I sent it back.
The chicken rice soup was good, but oddly was intended to be chicken LEMON soup, but since apparently some customers do not like the lemon, the serve plain chicken rice soup with lemons on the side. Huh?!
The gyro had tons of tzatziki sauce on it that gooped all over with every bite. I had to remove most of it to avoid getting it all over. That said, it was tasty once the extra sauce was gone.
The lighting over the table is good when you are looking down, but if you look across the table (say, to converse with the folks you are dining with), the light is shining in your eyes and is annoying. I noticed that customers that were not alone tended to slide to the extreme ends of the booths, apparently to avoid this issue as much as possible.
The restaurant has a lot of specials that may make it worth your time from a budget perspective, but overall, you can do much better.
