Yep the food speaks for itself. Now a days restuarant owners overcompensate the blend over expensive food by trying to create a glitz and glam shiny atomsphere to confuse the rest of the senses.
I worked at a Chicago Ma & Pa.. and use to smoke up the owners son, who was 12 years older than me. I just remember it was like 11:45 pm.. him tearing up on the phone, talking to someone who called/ praised him, after eating his deep dish. 😂 It was f'n beautiful.. Then I had to drive him home/ his dads mansion in South Barrington.
I come home from a long days work, set my alarm and take a 45 min snooze. Wake up and watch the pizza review. I look forward to this during the week. Sometimes it keeps me going forward. Thanks Dave
Dude, that is one Spectacular looking bar pie! When the cheese, sauce, and crust reach that color, it's like perfection. The little "greasiness" is perfectly fine for bar pie, because you're drinking so the grease and the booze mix well. Everything about that place was fire, and that's why that bar pie was "well done" but not burnt.
I’ve been going there since 1979…place has barely changed in 45 years. John makes a great pizza. That and O’Toole’s down the street are the best around.
I’m literally at the 2:00 mark and I don’t usually judge a pizza by the look, but that pizza looked unreal 🔥. I’m with you on the well done cheese and I am hoping so much that the place gets more business bc of you. I don’t always agree with your political shit but other than that, I think you deserve a national medal of some of what you did to enable so many small businesses (just like this one in the vid) to survive. I put away any differences I had once I saw you do that. Then on top of it, we just happened to both attend the best public university in the world in Ann Arbor, MI. With all sincerity, I want to praise you for saving countless families’ lives. You really did do that, Dave. Most of us could only hope to serve the community the way you did. I’m a perfect example of someone who if they just listened to the media and the smear jobs they tried to drag u down, would likely have thought “oh what a piece of shit” before ever doing my own research on it. These media conglomerates despise you bc you not only represent someone who isn’t afraid to have an opinion-in a world now where nobody can have one-but you flat out call them out on it. Sorry for the rambling, I just really wanted to tell you how appreciative and thankful so many business owners most certainly are, and every day joes like myself have a real perspective on what is right and what is wrong, and fuck the haters. Love u Dave.
The best pizza! Growing up in Whitman, Venus pizza has always been a part of my life. Every birthday party I had, Sunday pizza with family, collecting cans and redeeming them as a kid so you could go buy a pizza. Venus is iconic! I have lived in Chicago for the past 22 years, but no trip home is ever complete without getting Venus at least once, usually more often. Bar pizza over deep dish every day!!
Every time I have a favorite video picked out bam Prez comes along with one that screws up my list. I loved everything about this video. Absolutely gorgeous pie with a very solid rigid under carriage. The owner is a good guy, and the screaming was so genuine and honest, put it over the top. Very nice score High school football scene was a super bonus
I’m glad you cleared that up with the score. Cause us loyal fans who watch this religiously, know for a fact you weren’t giving the scores just for the pizza. So these bar pizza reviews are the overall experience not just the pizza. Got it ! Makes sense now. 😂😂
What an awesome video, coming from another hometown Whitman person I had worked at the Venus all my young life as a pizza cook and a pizza prepper. Started delivering newspapers when I was 13 years old over there it was part of my paper route then as I grew older I asked the owner which his name was Peter drossos, and he obliged. Soon in a couple weeks I was patting out pizzas and learning the trade of bar pizza. The whole family there are great people and very caring loving and I enjoyed working there. At one time I was the head pizza cook then I left after high School. Still to this day I miss it in reminisce on the times I work there. Everybody is Right Venus Cafe is the best around, hands down!! JW out.
This is now in my top 10 casual TH-cam videos ever seen (just people being people), love this fucking guy, and the communities he showcases. Too cool man
Nuts and Bolts the Green Wave did get screwed - that Ref needs glasses! He's probably an NFL Ref these days! Excellent looking bar pie and love the toasted cheese.
You are the consummate nostalgic wake up call. Gently reminding us of something you have never forgot. Thank you Dave. Your style spans generations. Again thank you. You show the real small town America.
My grandma lived right up the road from this place, and we went there growing up. I went back there recently for nostalgia's sake and it was just as I remembered. My mom and dad grew up going there as well, and they say it hasn't changed. The best. Gotta try the salad to go with the pizza too!
Believe it or not, probably the best bar pie I've ever had was at a bar inside of a little budget motel by East Stroudsburg University in PA. And I found out they actually had a local place make them, then they kept them frozen and cooked them to order.
The owner pulled off a nice little magic trick when Dave wanted to pay like 20 bucks for the pizza. He refused his money and somehow ended up with 40 bucks. Smooth operator.
If you don't come from Southeastern Massachusetts, you may not know what a BAR pizza is.....Well, It's like a regular pizza only smaller with the dough pushed tight against the sides of a deep-dish pan so it burns a bit and it's called lacing.......A little extra sauce and cheese and That's it......VERY TASTY for sure.....
Brockton/West Bridgewater native here. Bar pizza is the shit. I’ve been all over at this point, simply can’t replicate or match it. West Coast, the South, few countries over seas that SHOULD have pizza down. Nope. Bias here...... Cape Cod Cafe is the best....😮
Dave recognizes the owner was just being friendly and never made an issue out of the, “merry Christmas”. Despite the reputation, Dave really seems like a class act. Keep on keepin’ on Pres!
Venus has been my #1 bar pie for about 20 years, always consistent, unlike some of the overrated slop dealt out by miserable hag waitresses at a spot in say… Randolph. You’re a master of your craft Dave. Can’t wait for the Damien’s review.
I've had many pizzas from the Venus, I used to play in the Whitman men's softball league. We would go in there after every game. Pound the bears. And inhale the pizza. It definitely deserves a score in the 8s.
Dude really squeezed Portnoy out of extra money to tip the girls, after trying to give money back. What a pro
He's got nothin' to hide
He cooked Dave low 'n slow. 😅

In reality grease is fat. Low fat cheese kinda sucks. Whole milk cheese is best in my opinion.
