Restaurant Description Founded in 1997 in Oxford, Mississippi, Old Venice Pizza Company is the product of a Deep South upbringing blended with old-world Italian heritage. Owner and founder Jim Bulian created Old Venice Pizza Company's menu by adding innovative twists to his mother's traditional Mediterranean recipes. His marriage of the familiar with the unexpected makes Old Venice Pizza Company a dining destination unlike any other. At Old Venice Pizza Company, guests are treated to a "new South" urban dining experience through a selection of gourmet pizzas, seasonal dishes and imaginative Italian recipes that are made with the freshest ingredients available and inspired by flavors from Cajun Country and the Mediterranean basin. Rich red, light olive and gold crust hues blended with brick surfaces, dark woods and hardwood and cobblestone flooring contribute to the inviting atmosphere at all of our restaurants. Guests are treated to sensible and considerate service by a team of approachable staff members. Since opening, Old Venice Pizza Company has expanded to locations in Starkville, Jackson and Hernando, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee. Best Known For...
