Join Our Village!
Why Village Idiot Pizza?
Respect for our team, customers, and community… Creating a family-friendly space filled with fun and pizza… It takes a village to thrive as a local business, and we believe deeply in caring for our village with respect and heart.
We take pride in our high-quality ingredients, our carefully curated menu, and our fun-filled experience. Our priority is to create this consistent quality and experience in every Village Idiot Pizza location.
An evening of pizza, wings, cold drinks, and music bingo is so much better after a day of working hard to give back to our community through food and fun. We stand by our value of working hard AND playing hard in everything we do.
We’re all about passionate people—especially when it comes to passion for pizza and giving back to the community! We’re committed to creating teams that love food and philanthropy to build the Village Idiot Pizza community.
