Both feature extensive menus (below) for dine in, carry out, catering, and delivery, and the Elgin location has an all you can eat buffet at midday, Monday through Friday. The buffet includes a variety of kinds of pizza, an extensive salad bar, fried chicken, wings, and soup. Each day of the week has an additional special, like fish, ribs, or pasta.<\/p>\n<p>We paid around $10, which includes a soft drink, and I was quite surprised at a few things about the buffet. First was the depth of the offerings, second was the freshness of the food, and finally the fact that they are very diligent about keeping the supply replenished. You&#8217;re not going to be standing around waiting for another pizza or be staring at a tray of dried out pasta.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy with it, and I&#8217;ll do it again. We went on Thursday, which is &#8220;rib day,&#8221; and I&#8217;m not a rib eater, but my dining mate said they were just fine.\u00a0 The Carpentersville location does not have the buffet, offering daily lunch specials, instead.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17392\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17392\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1-20171214_123252.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17392\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17392\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1-20171214_123252-400x162.jpg\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Plates from the buffet<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/4-IMG_20171215_0004.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17394\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17394\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/4-IMG_20171215_0004-260x400.jpg\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review\" width=\"260\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-IMG_20171215_0002.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17393\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17393\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-IMG_20171215_0002-249x400.jpg\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review\" width=\"249\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5-IMG_20171215_0003.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17395\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17395\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5-IMG_20171215_0003-252x400.jpg\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review\" width=\"252\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/6-IMG_20171215_0001.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17396\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17396\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/6-IMG_20171215_0001-260x400.jpg\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review\" width=\"260\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Village Pizza &amp; Pub, Elgin and other Restaurants in Chicago\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/chicago\/village-pizza-pub-elgin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/16754388\/biglink\" alt=\"Village Pizza &amp; Pub Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Village Pizza &amp; Pub Review<br \/>\nVillage Pizza &amp; Pub Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Village Pizza &amp; Pub has two locations in the NW suburbs of Chicago, one in Elgin, and one in Carpentersville, not terribly far from each other.
