Venezia's Pizzeria near you, Party Pizza Challenge

Think you have what it takes to join these warriors on our Wall of Fame?

 All you and your partner need to do is finish an entire Party Pizza (24”) in under an hour. Sounds easy, right?
Winners will receive a Venezia’s t-shirt and their face on our wall of fame! We dare you to try it.

It all started with a pizza. A 24-inch Party Pizza, to be exact. Over the years, we’ve developed a reputation for our seriously huge and over-the-top Party Pizza, loaded with over a pound of cheese and toppings. Almost 10 years ago, we decided to have some fun with it. In the spirit of food competition reality shows like Man vs. Food, but with a unique Venezia’s twist, we decided that we would see if our guests have what it takes to conquer the Party Pizza in teams of two. At stake would be a free t-shirt, a spot on our Wall of Fame, and a TON of bragging rights. It turns out, many people were up to the task! And thus, the Pizza Party Challenge was born.

Fun fact: Early on we even had two separate people finish the whole party pizza by themselves. That’s truly an impressive feat. We love our guests!

"I love their pizza, hot and delicious and they have the best wings! Nice and big wings, not like other places that are small and not crispy. We also love the salads and sandwiches they offer. Nice environment, relaxing and my husband can always watch his favorite sport.." Julie P.

Who We Are and Why You'll Love Us


The Old Days Montanile (Venezia's) Family recipe passed down for many generations in Italy. In, 1965 Frank & Clara Montanile (AKA, Mom & Dad) moved to New York City where they met while learning to speak English during their evening class in the Bronx. 1978 Mom & Dad moved to a small, emerging Italian neighborhood in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Recognizing the need for good New York style pizza in the area, they opened the original Venezia's Pizzeria.
In 1998, Dom (Mom & Dad's son) & Jaime Montanile opened the first Arizona Venezia's location on Mill/Southern in Tempe, offering only pizza, calzones and sandwiches. In the beginning Mom would make our marinara sauce at home, then transport it to the restaurant in a huge sauce pot. Talk about "Mama's cooking!"

In 2003, the Chandler location opened at Pecos/McQueen Roads to bring great pizza closer to our fans in Chandler. In 2005, the East Mesa location opened to satisfy the hunger of pizza lovers in Mesa, Apache Junction, and Queen Creek. In 2009, the Tempe location expanded to seat more pizza lovers. In 2010, the North East Mesa location opened. Characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman decide to go into business together and Venezia's gets its first cameo on the hit AMC TV show, Breaking Bad.

2011 Chandler location moved to a new, and larger, space in Gilbert. 2014 East Mesa location expanded to seat more pizza lovers. Our connection with a friend in Italy allowed us to have fresh tomatoes shipped straight from the San Marzano region of Italy to use in our homemade marinara sauce. We use San Marzano Italian tomatoes to this day. 2015 North Phoenix location opened (our first restaurant to venture outside of the east valley!). Low-Carb Pizza Bowls added to the menu.

Today, the Venezia Pizzeria family includes 5 restaurants in the Phoenix area. We have added a wonderful gluten-free menu to our outstanding menu, we cater, we delivery, and of course, you can always dine in, enjoying out selection of Wine and Beer. If you dare, you can even try to attempt your claim to fame by tackling the 24" Party Pizza Challenge and get recognized by joining our very own wall of fame.

Testimonial
There’s really no reason to get pizza anywhere but Venezia’s! First of all the pizza is fantastic, always. The wings, also on point. Then today after I messed up my order on the app, the Gilbert staff went out of their way to get it fixed for me. I will 100% be back! Thanks for being awesome Venezia’s. Great service, Awesome staff and delicious food. Gf loves there tiramisu and our dog likes the little "pizza" dog treats we bring home.
