About The Village Pizzaria Slice House & Gelato Bar
Our family is one of the oldest restaurant families still in business in Central Texas today, serving up homemade cuisine for more than 85 years. Family patriarch Antonio P. Castillo, Sr. started the Castilloβs restaurant legacy when he opened The Aztec Cafe in the early 1930s in downtown Waco. Antonio and his wife Josephine were blessed with seven children (four sons and three daughters), all of whom were involved in the family business at one time or another. In 1948, Antonio and his family opened a new restaurant, El Patio, located on 16th Street in Waco. Four years later, classic Italian βPizza Pieβ would be introduced to Waco for the very first time, happily made at the Castillo familyβs restaurant! An Italian airman serving at Wacoβs

The wife, kids and I came to the union hall to get some food and I decided on the honey hot pie and it was absolutely amazing. Tasted so fresh and amazing. The 2 women working had a very big party from a volleyball team in front of me and it still only took 20 min. Well worth the wait, I can't wait for the next time.

Bad food and terrible service. Ordered a pizza where all of it shouldβve had mushrooms and black olives and only regular pepperoni on half. Also asked for it to be cooked well done. They did a - as you can see in the picture - not get any of that right and I really did not want the cupping pepperoni. It was pretty doughy and barely cooked so it wasnβt even close to well done. When I went to the counter to bring it to their attention the guy just met me with attitude and told he just cooked what was written down and absolutely did not care.

Stopped by Village Pizzeria at Union Hall and grabbed a cheese pizza. The slice was huge, the service was quick, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. What really keeps me coming back is the sauce. There's just something about a good tomato sauce that hits the spot, and theirs is excellent. Pizza has always been comfort food for me, and this one definitely delivered. Great flavor, generous portions, fast service, and a smile at the counter. Hard to ask for much more than that. I'll be back. π

Best Calzone in Waco! This place was amazing and the food was better than fantastic. The young man who waited on us was phenomenal and made everything perfect and got every detail we requested right. Excellent service is not as common as it should be but this experience we superb. I highly recommend trying out this place.

The Village Pizzaria Slice House & Gelato Bar The name says Slice Houseβ¦ and the moment that tray hits the table, you understand exactly what thatβs supposed to mean. I went with the Queen Margherita pizza by the sliceβ¦ and not just oneβtwo giant slices. And when they say giant, theyβre not playing. These arenβt your typical slicesβ¦ these are cut from a 20-inch pie, wide, long, and heavy enough to feel like a full meal in your hands. The first thing that stands out is the crust. Thinβ¦ but not weak. Lightβ¦ but with structure. A clean char along the edges that gives it just enough bite. You get that slight crunch when you go inβ¦ then it softens just enough to carry everything else without collapsing. That balance is hard to get right, and they hit it. Now the Margherita itselfβ¦ Youβve got that classic red sauce base, slightly tangy, sitting underneath a layer of melted mozzarella with those creamy white pockets laid across the top. Then the finishβfresh basil and a drizzle that ties it together visually and flavor-wise. It looks like something you want to eat before you even think about how it tastes. And when you pick it up? It holds. No flop. No mess. Just a clean fold if
