There is a very good family pizza restaurant in Corrales called Village Pizza. I have been here over ten times because it some of the best restaurant pizza that I’ve had in New Mexico. The restaurant is located on the corrales business strip so it is just walking distance to various shops, occational music venues, and a walking path in the back along the ditch banks.

I usually start with some bread sticks which are really good, not cheesy or greasy, just sprinkled with some italian seasoning and parmasean. There are the usual options for pizza such as thick or thin crust, with traditional or high-end toppings. Now I’m sure the pizza with feta cheese and artichoke is good, but I’m a traditional type of guy and I like my pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza on thick crust. To change things up a bit, I would definitely suggest getting the calzone here. It is a very large portion filled with marinera, ricotta cheese, and your choice of add-ins…one of the best I’ve had. They also offer a buffet with salad and pizza up until about 7 pm. If you’re looking for desert, they dont offer any here. Village pizza also has a nice selection of beer (draft and bottle) and wine.

Of course there are different expectations for service depending on the restaurant. Just like the atmosphere, the service is very laid-back here. The servers are really nice, usually get to know people, and are the kind to make a table laugh. One problem is that they usually have too many tables in their section and can get too busy to provide prompt service, especially on busy nights. But if you go to a restaurant like this, odds are you’re there for the food much more than the service.

Over the past years this restaurant has been renovated to accomodate the rise in customers, so at times it can get very loud and crowded. In that case, you might just want to pick your times wisely. Its a family restaurant so the tables are topped with disposable paper, paper napkins with silverware, and crayons are at the table to keep your kids occupied. There is a mix of private tables and long tables where families can sit by each other picnic-style. I recommend this restaurant, its a nice getaway from the city and you’ll have some really good food here.
