V Pizza coming to Lake Buena Vista

Locals in the Lake Buena Vista area will soon have another option for dining.

V Pizza will open its first Orlando location come August.

The 4,300-square-foot restaurant will host about 160 diners, including a dedicated bar and patio space.

V Pizza is an authentic, Italian pizzeria brand known for serving artisan meals, including pizza, wings, pasta and craft cocktails.

According to a press release, customers can expect pizza sauce made from hand-churned San Marzano tomatoes, dough made from highly-refined Italian wheat flour, and toppings like real bufala mozzarella and prosciutto di parma.

In addition, the food is cooked in specially-made, Italian, clay brick ovens which heat to 900 degrees.

Paul Scott, owner of V Pizza, said the Lake Buena Vista location was chosen because he knows the people in the area love good food.

“Orlando’s food IQ is one of the highest in the nation,” Scott said. “The locals here are well-traveled, understand food quality and appreciate authenticity, just like we do. It’s a natural fit. ... Regardless of the cost or difficulty of sourcing items, we’ll get the best items in the world for our Neapolitan pizza, wings and cocktails. That’s what makes us unapologetically authentic.”

The restaurant hosts a multitude of other locations across Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

The new location will be run by franchise owner Trenton Postell, who has owned and run small business franchises for over a decade.

However, Postell said he has always held a special place in his heart for V Pizza. 

His childcare center was the first organization to partner with the restaurant’s nonprofit, V for Victory, which supports local families going through cancer treatments. 

Diners will have the opportunity to add donations to their checks for the nonprofit. One hundred percent of customer donations go toward providing meals and every day services for local families battling cancer. 

Last month alone, V Pizza provided 2,109 meals with a retail value of $39,874 to V for Victory families dining across their 10 locations. 

“Paul and the team at V Pizza have always been like family to me," Postell said. "We really are a family, and that’s why family service is one of our top priorities. My passion is people. I’m excited to open this restaurant to lead something I feel has purpose while providing a high-quality product.”

V Pizza will open Tuesday, Aug. 1, at 8586 Palm Parkway, Orlando.

The restaurant can be reached at (407) 778-1776.
