Dining out with the family is a wonderful way to create connection, happiness, and cherished memories. There is something so special about sitting down and sharing a meal with loved ones. That is, however, if you can make it past the dreaded question: “Where should we go?” Finding a spot that has something for everyone’s unique (and sometimes picky) tastes can be challenging. Fortunately, Valentino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in Haymarket is the answer to that question. With a menu and atmosphere designed with families in mind, Valentino’s Pizza allows you to focus on making those memories.
Background on Valentino’s Pizza
Valentino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant has been serving up delicious food for more than 50 years. As a family owned and operated business, they are dedicated to providing families with authentic, high quality Italian cuisine. Everything is made from scratch daily to ensure high standards and great quality, from the dough
to the sauce and everything in between. They have a total of four locations, with restaurants in Virginia and New York.
Delicious Food and Family Atmosphere
Valentino’s Pizza serves classic Italian cuisine and is well-known for their New York style pizza. Their menu consists of pizzas, soups, salads, pasta dishes, classic Italian chicken, veal and seafood dishes, calzones and rolls, sandwiches and more. They also offer gluten-free items. The recipes are curated with traditional Italian eats in mind to offer the guests an authentic taste of Italy. Their most popular dish, one that keeps guests coming back, is their Grandma Pizza. It is a thin Sicilian crust pizza topped with plum tomatoes and mozzarella. Another fan favorite dish is the Pasta Bolognese, a classic Italian recipe of pasta and meat sauce with a splash of cream. With such a large and varied menu, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Array of food at Valentino’s Pizza
In addition to serving great food, Valentino’s Pizza is committed to maintaining a family friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is set up to resemble a New York Italian eatery planted in Virginia. One of its signature pieces of decor is a Statue of Liberty replica next to the entryway, something the kids are sure to enjoy. These little touches create an ambiance of love, friendliness, and fun that mimics the way Valentino’s Pizza approaches serving the community. The service at Valentino’s Pizza is personal. The team works to know their guests personally and create an environment that leaves people feeling cared for.

Valentino’s Pizza and the Community
Recognizing Haymarket’s demographic of families and community of businesses, Valentino’s Pizza decided it was the perfect location for their restaurant. Since opening, they have seen much success in the area. They explain, “The community has been very welcoming. We have built quite a loyal customer base…” In fact, the community has embraced them so much that they have seen a large increase in demand, particularly for their catering services. This led them to need to expand their kitchen.
In response, Valentino’s Pizza continuously looks for ways that they can give back to the local community. One way they do this is by offering discounts to local police officers, firemen, EMTs, military service people and more. They want to make their gratitude and appreciation known to those who serve the community.
