Village Host Pizza Grill Belmont

The employees were really nice. We ordered 2 small salads and received 2 large salads at no additional price. We also received a free fountain drink. It's a nice place and very roomy

We love Village host they always deliver best quality pizza never fails!!!! Reasonable prices for tasty pizzas!!!!

We live nearby and finally gave it a try. Service is fine, interior ambience looks really inviting initially. There's a classic 80's table arcade machine (Pac Man? . But the seat booths have the bouncy vinyl padding missing so it's really painfulto sit at for any amount of time. Ok, fine we could forgive that if pizza was worth taking home. It's not. We both got thesmall personal pizzas and I got the combo with everything on it. First, the crust was rock hard for the bottom 10 mm, like acardboard base, with a slight rise of dough above that. Did someone fail to mix in yeast properly? Were these a frozen batchof bad crusts they pulled out due to some shortage? The place wasn't packed, I don't get it. It was like some sort of sailorhard tack. Second, the ingredients weren't cooked enough for a combo pizza so it was all watery and loose, and the cheese hadcheddar thrown on there. Why? This doesn't match or improve anything. The ingredients themselves were the most basicfrom a can vibe things possible, basic black olives, nothing distinct or of a quality remotely as good as your average Pizza Hutor Domino's. The sauce was so thinly applied that it didn't bring enough flavor to compliment the bland vegetables and thepoorly cooked cheese. And the mozzarella? Waaaay too much, it was just a giant 15 mm cheese patty beneath everything, lightlycolored by the ghost of a sauce that avoided most bites. California has a bad reputation with pizza, and this is why. Theonly reason I'd give it 2 stars is so people go here instead of the alternative that just popped up, which is so good that it'spacked nonstop and I honestly have anxiety about it getting any more popular. I refuse to name it. It is the best. That beingsaid just get the Papa John's from over by the Molly Stone's, it's better than Village Host by miles and won't overcrowd myfav spot. Or just get some frozen pizza, you could do better with some Red Baron's or whatever.

Pizza size will seem small but perfect amount for my kids. I got a size medium about 10 slice. I have 3 kids and each had 2 slices and had some left over. My oldest is a picky eater and so happy he likes the pizza here. Good sauce, cooked perfectly.

We both ordered personal pizzas—mine was a combination with everything. First off, the crust was remarkably hard, about 10 mm thick, resembling a cardboard base with just a slight rise on top. Was it really so hard to mix in some yeast? It felt like we were eating a frozen batch of subpar crusts that had been hastily reheated. The restaurant was hardly busy, so I really don’t get it. The crust reminded me of sailor's hardtack. Next, the toppings on the combo pizza were undercooked, resulting in a watery texture, and the cheese was predominantly cheddar. Why? It added nothing and didn’t fit the pizza at all. The ingredients themselves were the most basic, resembling what you'd find in a can—simple black olives and nothing unique or of better quality than your average fast-food pizza from places like Pizza Hut or Domino's. The sauce was spread so thinly that it didn’t contribute much flavor to the bland vegetables and poorly cooked cheese. And the mozzarella? There was way too much—a massive 15 mm thick patty of cheese that was barely touched by the meager sauce, which was nearly absent in flavor with each bite. California's pizza reputation must stem from experiences like this. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is that some people prefer this over the new place nearby, which is genuinely good and constantly crowded. I worry that the popularity of this subpar place could actually grow. I’d rather get a pizza from Papa John’s at the Molly Stone’s, which would be way better than this place and wouldn’t replace my favorite spot. Honestly, even a frozen pizza would be a better choice—like something from Red Baron or similar. There’s no worse place for fresh pizza within five miles. In Foster City, even a MOD Pizza is a better option, and I’m not a fan of that either. Owners and managers, is this the standard you accept? When was the last time you compared your pizza to ANY alternatives out there? I know you might be struggling, but please do better than the frozen stuff from the nearby Lunardi. Sheesh.
