Villa Nova Pizzeria - New Buffalo

We sat at the bar outside, those heaters are awesome! French onion soup, Gnocchi with vodka sauce, all fantastic!
I had a banana old fashioned that was perfect with my meal.

We had great service from Lexi. The gluten free pizza is the best around and it's cooked in a separate kitchen!
Lexi suggested kettle chips for the spinach artichoke dip so I could share with my husband. Good call! The weather was perfect for the patio. Service was pretty quick considering how busy they were.

Great pizza, the crust is thin and crispy and the spinach artichoke dip was delicious. Also the Bloody Marys were really good and had delicious fixins with it. The main dining area was really cold and I've worked in a pizza joint before and assumed it was because the workers were hot next to the ovens. They graciously asked us if we wanted to move to the other room and told us they cranked the heat. Thank you so much Villa Nova for making our visit great!

Stopped here by chance and omg we will be back! Buffalo pizza...outstanding! Cucumber Breeze drink was perfect! 6 kids and 2 adults happy! Place was packed but they handled the rush very well! Indoor, outdoor setting. This place is our new favorite pizza place!

Fresh ingredients are always on the pizza 🍅🫑🥓🧅🧀 🍕.. Don't forget the French fries 🍟 .. Always Great tasting food...

Let me just say I have never gave a 5 Star review for a restaurant but at last I have found the perfect place for what I like. The food is absolutely amazing! The quality is top notch. We sampled a few things. The pizza is perfect. Perfect chips, toppings are amazing. Just I can go on and on. This place is the best. Atmosphere is just how I like it. Super chill but a bit upbeat and friendly. The staff are amazing and just service was on point. I will be coming back and thus will be my new go to when I'm in the area.

Our first visit there with the kids. We did the family size and garlic cheese bread. Everything was fantastic! The crust was great with no flop. Good crust and cooked perfectly. We only took (2) pieces home. We will be returning!

Best thin crust pizza I've had in a long time! Big chunks of sausage and if you love cheese they take care of ya! I ordered extra cheese and the cheese is real and the pizza was awesome 👍🏻😎 today we have the combination and a calzone... unbelievably amazing 😍

First time here. We ordered pizza sausage/mushroom, and it was so delicious. I am a thin crust lover so it was perfect. The sauce is very good. Will definitely try this again when back in this area. Chuckie was very attentive to us.

Breadsticks are amazing! Topped with a delicious Parmesan and garlicky seasoning. Pizza is a thin, crispy, cracker style crust. The outdoor seating area is cute too. I wasn’t a huge fan of the marinara sauce that comes with the breadsticks, it reminded me of Spaghettios sauce, but that’s just personal preference.

being from Chicago, our group was a little hesitant about going out for pizza but villa nova was delicious. The service was very good and the outdoor patio was perfect. Even though it was a little chilly, the space heaters created enough heat to make it enjoyable. Special shout out to Mike, the bartender for taking care of us!

I was in Villa Nova Sunday night trying to enjoy a pizza and a gentlemen approached our table unsolicited and just kept talking and wouldn't stop. The content matter was making us very uncomfortable we asked our server Michelle for the check and explained the issue. Moments later, I am assuming a member management, came & calmy asked the gentlemen to leave and the man started yelling racial slurs. The management member was very calm and cool as a cucumber in how he handled the guy. The guy made a huge scene but eventually left. I just came to say that the way the Villa Nova staff handled this matter for us so quickly and professionally was almost as good as the food! I definitely recommend checking this place out!

The BEST restaurant EVER if you want pizza!!!!! This place was so good that we went twice in two days! The staff if so awesome and the food is incredible! If you go you absolutely must get pizza and try the dessert! I'm not even a dessert fan but the waiter talked us into a warm cookie with ice Cream and it was heavenly! When we go back across Michigan next month this place is first on our list!

Customer service was phenomenal. The pizza was excellent. Nice, enclosed patio with heaters was a great atmosphere, even in December.

Great pizza & service, have ordered from them for years and have never had a single problem.

The pizza at villa nova is delicious! I ordered a make your own with sausage, green peppers and mushrooms and it was one of the best sausage pizzas I've ever had. The staff is also wonderful and very attentive. I would definitely visit again and would recommend anyone to check it out if they're in the area!

In today's culinary exploration, we turn our gaze to a modest yet remarkable establishment nestled in the heart of New Buffalo: Villa Nova Pizzeria. In an era where fast food chains dominate and authenticity is often sacrificed at the altar of convenience, this pizzeria stands as a testament to the timeless virtues of quality and tradition.

From the moment one steps through its welcoming doors, the warmth of genuine hospitality is palpable. The staff, a dedicated ensemble, serve not just with efficiency but with a friendliness that harks back to a time when every customer was treated as a cherished guest.

Speed, often the enemy of quality, finds its harmonious balance here. Service is swift, ensuring that the eager anticipation of patrons is met with prompt satisfaction, yet without compromising the integrity of the culinary experience.

But the true stars of Villa Nova are, without a doubt, its offerings. The calzone, a delicate pocket of dough bursting with flavor, is a masterclass in balance and texture. Each bite is a journey, a narrative of ingredients coming together in perfect harmony.

And then there's the pizza. A dish so often replicated yet rarely perfected, it finds its zenith at Villa Nova. Each slice is a symphony of flavors, a testament to the art and craft of true pizza-making.

In summation, Villa Nova Pizzeria is not just a dining establishment; it's an experience, a journey back to the roots of authentic Italian cuisine. In this journalist's opinion, it stands as a beacon of culinary excellence in New Buffalo. And that's the way it is.

Excellent food with very attentive staff. Bar drinks on point. Atmosphere and music warm and inviting. Definitely will be back, one of our new favorites!

Stopped in for the first time after getting a recommendation to try it. The pizza was excellent. I tried their chicken, bacon and ranch and added hot giardiniera, which was a thin crust. It was very tasty. I will definitely visit here again.

One of the best pizza places east of Chicago. Love all there food!
