Village Inn Pizza
Some things are too good to let go, and for the new owners of Village Inn Pizza, that sentiment turned into a full-fledged mission. When the beloved pizzeria, a Billings institution since 1968, was set to close, they stepped in not as seasoned restaurant owners, but as passionate locals who couldn’t bear to see a community favorite disappear. Now, with a fresh start but the same beloved recipes, Village Inn continues to serve up crispy, thin-crust perfection, keeping the legacy alive one slice at a time.
What sets Village Inn apart is its commitment to the original recipe. The scratch-made crust, crisped to perfection, is crafted daily with Montana-grown wheat, and for their secret sauce that is a closely guarded Village Inn tradition. The team isn’t just making pizza; they’re carrying forward a piece of local history, right down to the original tables, chairs, and leaded glass fixtures that once adorned the classic A-frame location. Every bite is a nod to the past, made with the same heart and soul that Billings has loved for decades.
Tradition doesn’t mean standing still. The new location brings some modern conveniences, like a drive-thru for easy pickup and a growing online presence, ensuring that Village Inn stays connected with longtime fans and new customers alike. Still, nothing can replace the magic of dining in and the smell of fresh pizza, the hum of conversation, and the chance to drop a few quarters into the original Ms. Pac-Man machine.
The Village Inn Special remains the undisputed favorite, loaded with the perfect balance of meats, veggies, and that signature crispy crust. But if you’re looking for something different, the Taco Pizza is a must-try. Pair it with a cold beer, drizzle on some taco sauce, and you’ve got a simple yet unbeatable combination. It’s the kind of meal that keeps people coming back, just like the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, some of whom have been part of the Village Inn family since the very beginning.
More than just a pizza place, Village Inn is a piece of Billings’ heart, and the team behind it knows how important it is to give back. From donating to local schools and fundraisers to sponsoring sports teams, they make sure the community that has supported them for so long feels the love in return. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer ready to experience a slice of Billings history, Village Inn Pizza is ready to welcome you in one delicious, nostalgia-filled bite at a time.
