Best Pizza: Venice House

An ode to Venice House Pizza

Oh, Venice House pizza, how you steal the show,
With golden crust and cheese that flows.
Toppings galore, each bite a dream,
A savory, saucy, cheesy gleam.

From crust to edge, you’re pure delight,
A perfect balance in every bite.
Pepperoni, veggies, or house supreme,
Each carefully crafted by your team.

Hot and fresh, or cold next day,
North East residents have had their say.
They’ve put all other pizzas to the test,
But Venice House pizza is Best of the Best

While we can have a little fun paying tribute to the best pizza in town, there’s no denying that Venice House in Melfort is the #1 choice for a slice of ‘za according to results from northeastNOW’s 2025 Best of the Best Awards.

Restaurant manager Irene Hara said they’re thankful and humbled to be recognized by the community and beyond.

“Our regular customers always tell us that our dough is always good. And you know, we had a customer from Italy and he said our pizza tasted like the Sunday supper pizza they’d have back home…and that was a great compliment.”

While the dough is handmade in house, so is the pizza sauce and the Greek and Caesar dressings.

“Aside from the 40 different flavours of pizza that we have, we are also a Greek restaurant, so we have lots of specialties including a full rack of Greek style ribs or riblets, pasta and classics like fish n’ chips and burgers.”

Hara said the menu variety is huge, but the food is always fresh. Her husband is the co-owner of the restaurant and head chef. All of the cooks and serving staff have been at the establishment for some time and Hara prides herself on the work culture they’ve been able to create.

“We just take a lot of pride in customer service and being professional,” she said. “When our employees are happy and when they feel respected, it shows in how they treat our customers as well.”

Adding to the positive ambience at Venice House in Melfort is the attached lounge known as Murphy’s Pub. Hara said it’s a great spot for only adults where they can chat without the distractions of the bustling restaurant or enjoy an evening of Karaoke with friends. As an introductory promotion, they’re also offering 50% off appetizers from 9 p.m. to midnight.
