I tried the Venus Cafe for the first time today for takeout. I ordered a green pepper onion and mushroom pizza. I got there early and got it as soon as he popped it into the box, so there was no time for it to steam in the box. I usually have my dog with me, so that's why I get take-out a lot. A little bit of flop at the beginning due to it being piping hot and loaded with toppings. Tasted great, and the price was good. This place is one of the goats of this style of pizza, ssbp. The only complaint is that they use sliced toppings, not chopped. And that's just a personal preference due to years of thinking I took a clean bite of pizza, and then a chunk of blistering topping comes with it and tags me on the chin. Lol. I went to the takeout side and dealt directly with the cook, and he was very nice. I have no clue about the bar area, but friendly kitchen staff speaks volumes for a place. I'm slowly trying all the places that do this style of pizza in the area, and this one did not disappoint.

Good bar pizza and wings. Pizza was a little oily and wings were super expensive for the amount but tasted

BEST BAR PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD!!!

I'd seen some recent SSBP pics on Facebook lately, so I decided to check out the Venus. A friend and I arrived around 6:30 pm the Friday of St.Pat's weekend. There were plenty of seats at the bar but we opted for a booth in the dining area. Look, this is a local dive bar catering to locals. You could come dressed in your pajamas. It's not pretentious There was a table of 12 local teachers all decked out in shamrock tees and Scally caps--always a good sign, and as a retired teacher, I applauded them still being out long after the school bell rang. But I digress. Service appeared to be provided by a mere two women working both sides. Getting their attention did take a few minutes, but we cut them slack. Once we had it, our server was very friendly and answered my questions as a Venus first-timer. I had a Down East hard cider (can, not on draught). We ordered the Greek salad and it was explained as a non-lettuce traditional. It was loaded with cukes, tomatoes,banana peppers,bell peppers, two kinds of onions, roasted red peppers, feta and olives. Table condiments consist of salt, pepper, packets of Parmesan & red pepper flakes. There are no real silverware or plates--all disposable with napkin dispensers on the table. I got a bacon with pineapple (tidbits not crushed) with burnt edges. My friend got an onion pizza cooked as per their usual. We very much enjoyed the pies. I think the bacon made mine a tad salty, and the sauce may be slightly on the sweet side. Pineapple didn't help my tastebuds in terms of discerning flavors. My crust and edges were perfection. Crispy and no flop. My friend's onion was actually the star--an assemblage of non-uniform onions sprinkled on top allowed me to taste the sauce more readily. I'm not ready to say for certain how other SSBPs compare, but I very much enjoyed my dinner. Had I the room, I would have ordered their plain cheese and pepperoni. Next time!

It's been years since I had the pizza.It was better than I remembered and it was also the first time I ate inside. Great food and service. The take card, which is something we didn't think to check before going.Greek salad doesn't have lettuce in it. First time I'd had it like that but it was wonderful and I didn't miss the lettuce at all!!Thank you!Also for a Sunday afternoon it wasn't packed like some other local places. It was very comfortable and there was a parking lot and plenty of on street parking too.

Very delicious pizza, I ordered the sausage and green pepper. I also ordered a salad and to my surprise they omit the lettuce, wow, but it was still tasty. Will definitely try it again.

I haven't been to the Venus in 40 years and the pizza was excellent. The place was the me as I remembered, but the food was super. I highly recommend stopping by for a pie ...!!!
