Valentino's
Serving Ventura County since 1982
Some people ask why we sell pizza that isn't cooked yet. The truth is, take-n-bake means fresher ingredients, lower overhead, and a better price for you — and it's why we've stayed in business for over 40 years.
Val's Guarantee
Since our beginning in 1982, Valentino's has always believed in providing the highest quality products at reasonable prices. If for any reason you are not satisfied, return at least half of the product and we will gladly exchange it or refund your money.
We want to know about your experience, good or bad. Send us feedback or email feedback@valentinosgourmet.com.

Why choose Valentino's?
We're affordable
Bake your pizza at home and save 40–50%. Take-n-bake pizza is considered a grocery item, so it's not charged sales tax — cooked pizzas and toasted subs/sandwiches are taxed as usual.
We're convenient
Pick up after work or while shopping, then bake it at home in 10–15 minutes when you're ready to eat.
We deliver to businesses
Camarillo and Ventura: Monday–Friday, 10:30am–2pm. Thousand Oaks also delivers to residents, any time, every day — perfect for a work meeting that can't break for lunch, or dinner at home.
Questions we hear a lot
What is take-n-bake pizza?
Fresh pizza from us, baked in your oven at home.
How long does it take to bake?
10–15 minutes depending on your oven. After a couple of tries you'll know your perfect time.
What temperature do I bake at?
450°F, or 425°F if using a convection oven.
Can I BBQ your pizza?
Absolutely — see our BBQ grill instructions for step-by-step tips.
Do you cook any pizzas?
Cooked pizzas vary by location. Camarillo only cooks Personal 8" pizzas — all other sizes are take-n-bake only. Thousand Oaks offers all sizes, both cooked and take-n-bake.
Can I freeze the pizza?
We don't recommend it, but if you do, thaw in the refrigerator at least 24 hours, then let it sit on the counter an extra hour before baking.
Do you deliver?
Yes. All locations deliver catering orders directly. For all other orders, we use a third-party delivery service — start your order to see delivery options for your location.
Do you have gluten-free crust?
Yes, available in our Medium 12" size.
Do you sell just the dough?
Yes — by the pound, or rolled out to your preferred size. Ask when you order.
How late are you open?
Every location is open daily from around 10–11am to 8–9pm, with hours varying slightly by store and holiday. See exact hours on our contact page.
Do you support fundraisers?
Yes, often! We love supporting the local community — reach out to set one up.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes, at all three locations. Ventura gift cards are redeemable only in Ventura; Camarillo and Thousand Oaks gift cards work at either of those two.
