Pizza Night - Venezia's Pizzeria

Event date: 
Wed, 03/25/2026 - 6:30pm

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.

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!"

Fresh ingredients and homemade recipes are just a couple of reasons people keep coming back for more. We ensure our ingredients meet our high standard of freshness at all of our restaurants, every day. Most of our food is made fresh in our kitchen every day. 

All seven of our restaurants are famiglia owned and operated. Our employees are like family to us, as are all of our loyal customers—some of whom have been with us since we first opened our doors in Tempe back in 1998.
