Venice Pizza House Since 1954
About
Venice Pizza House has served authentic Italian pizza since June 1954. Founded by Sicilian immigrant Salvatore "Sam" LoMedico after emigrating from Detroit, this beloved neighborhood spot operated for nearly 70 years under three generations of family ownership before new ownership in 2023. Sam worked 15-hour days alongside wife Prudie, serving simple family recipes and building reputation through word-of-mouth alone with zero advertising budget. The medium-crust pizzas, fettuccine alfredo, chicken parmesan, and lasagna with homemade sausage represent classic Italian-American comfort food. Topping local polls for "Best Pizza" consistently, the intimate hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, bruschetta appetizers, combo salad, Sam Adams and Fat Tire beer selection, and small wine list create a neighborhood institution where families return for generations of casual dining.
