Village Host Pizza Grill

One of the most blindingly bad pizzas ever I 've eaten, a crusty unforgiving hard as cardboard, zero chewy texture, not light nor deep dish nor Neapolitan nothing nada. It was a busy Friday night and the place was respectably packed with couples, families, singles munching away, apparently content. But how? Why? With what pizza? Did they get a different crust than we did? Had they ever eaten pizza to compare this monstrosity? It 's a mystery. The crust was actively HARD to bite into. And yes, though I can be picky, my husband who 'll eat any pizza in the world, even he has a mild look of surprise when he first bit into it, as if, can this really be? I wonder if they 're having an off night a...

We've found ourselves a little hidden gem in Burlingame. Per Father's Day request we were given the task to find a pizza spot. I wanted to try somewhere new and came across this place. Right off of the freeway on Broadway Ave sits this hidden gem. It's right at the corner but it is a bit quiet that you could miss it. Their menu is pretty small and to the point. They offer sandwiches, pizzas and a few specials! They have a bar and from the looks of it, they used to offer a salad bar as well. I assume due to Covid they put a hold on that as it currently is a holding place for pizza boxes. We ordered a small ham pineapple pizza for the kids and a small pesto chicken pizza for myself and the hub...

Village Host is a local pizzeria and dive bar serving a simple menu of pizzas, sandwiches, and sides. The Combination pizza came with tomato sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, pepperoni, salami, Italian sausage, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and olives, all on a soft, doughy, crispy crust dusted with cornmeal. The Village Host Special sandwich came with salami, pastrami, and ham, along with melted Swiss and cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard on a soft, crusty French roll, served with a bag of Lay's chips on the side.

This pizza place has a lot of history. I 've gone there since the 60 's, and the memories are great. It has a feel from the past, in a good way. It is not a chain. This is a great, local, unique pizza restaurant. You can see the pizzas (and sandwiches) being made, and put into the oven right in front of you. They also have GREAT sandwiches. The Village Host Special sandwich is outstanding!!! Toasted in the bun. They also have beer and wine! Locals know this place. Travelers will be pleasantly surprised at this unique place.

Great pizza for the price. The employees are very friendly and a few have been there for a long time. They have a back room for bigger groups and TV's for sporting events. An established restaurant who's been around since the 70's.
