Shoe’s Pizza

A good pizza at a reasonable price. Staff has always been friendly. It’s our favorite pizza place in town.

Been to Shoes at least a dozen times. Price is reasonable and the service is great. The owner always seems to be there too. I really like going there and supporting a true local business.
The pluses are the wings, sandwiches, liquor license, and friendly service. Plus big screen TVs on every wall in case there is a good game on.
The downside is the pizza. I’m not sure how or why it comes out so tasteless and devoid of any flavor, but to me that’s what my taste buds experience.
Living on the north side of Valpo I’m sure I’ll be there again soon out of convenience. But if there was better pie across the street. I don’t think I would

We have gone here multiple times and never been disappointed. Have fresh ingredients and wonderful service. You have got to try the ‘Za rolls! It is a need favorite.

After reading other reviews, I wasn’t sure what the problem could be with the «chewy» crust. I now know. The only thing good about the pizza was the sausage. The pizza was extremely greasy even by pizza standards. The wings were mediocre at best. I did think that the inside of the establishment looked clean. But bad pizza and bad wings. Won’t be returning.

I have to agree with an earlier review about the pizza crust… rubber! After reading reviews I wanted to love this place. This was out first visit and will be our last.

Best pizza in the northwest region. The owners are local and they consistently poor in to the community. There boneless wings are always good, however I do not recommend the blue cheese sauce.

For a college town, it’s surprising there aren’t more options in Valpo for good pizza. Shoe’s is probably your best bet in town for a non-​chain pie. Considering the competition though this isn’t saying much. It’s probably for this reason that long-​time locals go gaga for Shoe’s. But, for my money, there isn’t much going on here.
As far as the quality of their pie, it’s average at best. Crust is a good thickness with a nice New York-​style fold-​ability. However, it is way too chewy for my taste. Topping coverage was decent, and I liked the more savory sauce. The biggest downer was how salty this pizza was. I needed a liter of water just to douse the resulting parched palate.
Other than the pizza, Shoe’s offers pretty good wings both classic and boneless. Throw in some decent fries and you can have a fine game day meal here. I wouldn’t recommend Shoe’s though if you’re watching your waistline.
Base on pizza alone, I would have probably given this place 2 stars. But, considering the pizza market in Valpo, they get away with 3 cause there really isn’t anything better in town.

My favorite pizza place in Valpo! Nice, very friendly staff and simply delicious food. A+, my favorite pizza!

Great, fresh pizza that they make right there in front of you. Owners are a local family and are so kind, they constantly support their local community. The pizza is delicious. They offer great lunch specials so take advantage if two huge slices of pizza and a drink for $ 6.99 or you can choose salads, and wings as well. They offer wings and subs, be sure to try it out. I plan on returning more and trying more of the menu.

Great place. Drove past here for years and always wondered how their pizza is. I took advantage of their lunch special today and was very pleased. The pizza was very hot and fresh and delicious. The ladies working made the experience great. Very friendly, outgoing, and called me by my first name.
I hope this place succeeds. I see BurgerHaus next door packed to the gills and there were only a few patrons in Shoes when I was there. I suggest skip the wait and check this place out. It’s Valpo’s undiscovered gem.

Love love love the garlic bites. Husband had the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was very good but he asked for blue cheese dressing to calm the heat. I had a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza and it was good. I wish the sauce had a little more flavor instead of tasting like plain tomato sauce. Love the family run atmosphere. Wouldn’t be my first choice for pizza but would definitely come back.
