Barney Villa is back in the pizza business with Barney’s Pizza on Lake Ave, displaying one of his creations with daughter Tina Villa, who manages the business\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By Brittany Svoboda<\/p>\n

With the same family recipes that have been
\naround since 1971, the Villa family, who are
\nfamous in the Saratoga area for their pizza, recently
\nopened a new restaurant on Lake Avenue.
\nBarney’s Pizza opened in May at 223 Lake
\nAve., across from East Side Recreation.<\/p>\n

“We’re still the same family-oriented business
\nthat everybody knows,” said Barney’s Pizza manager
\nTina Villa. Tina’s father and grandfather
\nopened the first family restaurant in Saratoga
\nin 1971, which was called 2 Barney’s. Her father
\nalso ran Barney’s Townhouse and made pizza
\nat the Gaslight Lounge, both former Saratoga
\nSprings establishments.<\/p>\n

Since opening in May, she said business has
\nbeen “overwhelming, but flattering. We got
\nslammed the first two weeks.” <\/p>\n

Most business has come from people who were previous customers at the other restaurants, Tina said. Barney’s Pizza is the only establishment the Villa family currently has in Saratoga Springs, but they also run Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth. This helps bring business to the restaurant too, she said.<\/p>\n

She wanted to open a new eatery and put the bug in her dad’s ear about doing it. Certain specifications, however, were non-negotiable. “We didn’t want to make a huge investment in a big space,” she said. “It’s more manageable” in smaller quarters.<\/p>\n

Barney’s Pizza is now open for lunch as well as dinner. Beside their well-known pizza, they also have subs, sandwiches, salads and “key Italian dinners,” she said.<\/p>\n
