The best vegan pizza ever. These guys are so creative in the pies they make and they share the creativity with their vegan pies. I take my carnivorous friends here all the time and even they agree that the vegan slices are better than any other pizza they have tasted.
They also have Vegan Treats donuts on every Vegan Treats Tuesday!
All I can say is, GO NOW. RUN AND BUY PIZZA RIGHT NOW!
My first adventure into Brooklyn, and I require pizza. Easy, they say, lets hit up Vinnie's.
GOOD CALL, this is why we're friends. Mac and Cheese pizza FTW. Seriously a glorious way to kickstart the evening. Crunchy, cheesy, filling. Perfect.
The staff is great, the pizza amazing, and talk about location. So necessary. Everyone loved whatever slice they got, and I will DEFINITELY be back next time I am out on the East Coast.
T.HANKS Vinnie's.
Walking towards the subway station from the Girl Talk show this summer, I noticed a small chalkboard sign saying Vinnie's was just around the corner. In no hurry, we decided to give it a try...only to see a gargantuan line. Lines are good, right?
I had been to several New York pizza places earlier that week and I thought--nothing to brag about. Vinnie's is what changed my mind. I ordered a macaroni and cheese (with bacon!) slice and a barbecue chicken slice. It was amazing.
First of all, macaroni and cheese pizza. With bacon! Is that enough to convince you? And second, though you may think it's nothing to snuff about, the barbecue chicken pizza. I'm not typically a fan of that, but it was a good choice. And thin crust! I'm a Chicagoan who loves thin crust and have trouble finding one that meets my standards. This definitely does...and for cheap.
One of the things I was most impressed about is Vinnie's offers a wide variety of slices. It even has 100% vegan options. I'm a meat lover, so I didn't really look into that, but I was incredibly impressed. The joint was busy but the guys working at the front were all really nice, and tried to work it as fast as they could--and I think that was just fine.
My only complaint? Seating was limited (for the large crowd we had..I mean, the line was out of the door). I also think the crowd wanted to eat it there as we were all ready to scarf down some delicious pizza after dancing and sweating throughout the concert.
Next time I come back to New York, I have to go to Brooklyn for this place. I love nothing more than supporting local business.
Excellent slice place that is a true/authentic Brooklyn pizzeria. Outside of a few of the hipster accoutrements that it's taken on over recent years, the inside is 100% authentic old school. The slices themselves are great. Nice crust and perfect cheese and sauce.
I didn't have any of the "fancier" slices, but they seemed good... Well at least some of them... They sure are creative with the toppings on some of the slices! So much so it seems like a few combos are actually jokes. But whatever. The place is great and highly recommended for a a simple slice.
This is my favorite pizza place of all time. The slices are great, and the service is even better.
The owners are super nice guys, who, when I told them I needed to lose weight, and wouldn't be coming around much cause I decided to give up pizza, told me they would help me out by not letting me order any, and making me a custom salad every night.
The place is full of little surprises like the famous T.Hanks sign on the garbage can.
Give this place a shot. You won't regret it.
I have eaten several good slices from here. And while admire their willingness to put pretty much anything you can think of on a pizza, I think some of their combinations seem more entertaining in theory than in practice. I thought the tortellini pizza was cute, but failed to execute, the honey-dijon slice they had was kinda tasty though. I had a spinach specialty slice that was also really good as is their plain slice.
Basically my allegiance lies with the spot up the block, but if I'm looking for something vegan or a slice that has something really unexpected/borderline bizarre in the pizza realm, I'm going to come here.
OMG. The BBQ Chicken Pizza will change your life.
I love the awesome variety of toppings at this place & the different concoctions they come up with. Every time I settle on a slice & pay up, the guys bring out a new pie that makes me wish I could change my mind... but instead I just order more... b/c I'm a fat ass who loves pizza. The Mac Attack pizza is great.... and now I always take their advice to put hot sauce on it. So good! The guys are really nice & friendly, the decor cracks me up & the prices are decent-- plus they're open late. My kind of place. I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the 'hood. I just wish there were more tables & places to eat inside! Oh well.
First, Vinnie's makes a great plain slice. I would recommend buying a whole pie for yourself or sharing. It's very good straight out of the oven.
I ate the BBQ chicken pizza and it was one of the best I had ever had. Next time I come here I am eating the black bean pizza, eggplant and the mac and cheese. My friends had all of the above and they loved it as well.
I like when pizza is topped with great ingredients and the crust does not get soggy and the toppings are so hot with too much it slides off. Won't happen at Vinnie's.
Monday pizza night with Monday night football, a great combo.
Last, they have gelato, yay!
I had a BBQ pizza, which was decent. It was a bit on the thin side, though. And it wasn't fresh---had definitely been out for a long time.
Still, a good slice, and I'll be back fo sho.
This is for when you're like, "you know what, I don't want authentic Italian-American Neapolitan-style pizza. I want my pizza to resemble buffalo wings, or nachos." Or for when you're drunk.
They also modifed their garbage bin to say "T.HANKS" instead of "THANKS," complete with a photo of a "Bosom Buddies" era Tom Hanks, and watching my friend Kate giggle uncontrollably at it is worth it every time.
There's a really great group of guys working here, the decor makes me giggle, and the sliced meatball/mozzarella ball pizza is where. it's. at. Good times.
I love their vegan pizza! And when I am in the mood to indulge in the dairy side of life I typically go on the days they have Spagetaboutit pizza. Pizza with spaghetti is what it's all about! The chicken parm, buffalo chicken w/blue cheese, blackbean nacho are all notable as well. They have great garlic knots too! Giving them a four, because the crust is a little floury and dry. Oh! And they have rootbeer, along with many other varieties of drinks to quench your thirst, which I love because most places only have a few drinks to pick from! This is a the perfect, cheap Friday night meal!
I think I have achieved the "usual" customer since I've been going there for every week for the last three years. The guys know me, I know the guys, the food is great, service is top notch, and they know what they are doing. A definite huge recommendation in all of Williamsburg.
Love this place. They have the best variety of pizza toppings, especially if you're vegan. The boys that work there are super cute and sweet too. Yummy!
Vinnie's is great for what it is--an over-the-top, inauthentic perversion of pizza. I'm usually a fan of the simple, back-to-basics style of pizza, but I totally enjoyed my slices of huevos rancheros pizza (beans, cheddar, tomato, avocado. fried egg) and eggplant parm.
They also offer solid vegan pizza. For the first time, I didn't feel the urge to gag upon eating soy cheese. Service is fast and friendly, prices are great, portions gargantuan.
The Tom Hanks trash can also gave me a good giggle.
Looks like the people next door are trying to steal vinnies ideas... but those guys are OLD ASS LOSERS! Do you want pizza from these cool dudes or rain man pizza down the block? The guys across the street SUUUUUCK!!! Keep it legit son. There is only room for one pizza place with buffalo wings on a pizza on bedford between north 6th and north 10th. Eat it!

New story: Tortellini pizza. Oh man.
Still unimpressed... now different reasons.
Service was great..made up for last time. Pizza tasted good - but why exactly did I pay $4 for crust, minimal marinara sauce and veggies on top. I opted vegan with no cheese or even soy cheese. Price seemed steep for what I got. Had the pizza been oozing with marinara sauce, the slice would have been delish and worth the $$. Instead it was like so sparingly applied, the marinara was dried up leaving quite a dry slice of veggie bread.
Walked right out Tuesday night. I was looking for a post work-out dinner, asked 2 questions and the… Read more »
someone once told me that u can never judge a pizza place until you have their regular cheese slice. and vinnie's was pretty awesome. it may have those bagillion vegan slices but no one can deny that their regular cheese (from a cow) slice is pretty darned good.
awesome non-cheese slices:
- black bean avocado
- chicken bacon ranch
- eggplant parm
- acapulco gold
- chicken quesadilla
I've had a slice from here several times - they have some unique varieties of pizza, but otherwise I find the slices a bit pricey and the pizza nothing too special. My favorite slice is the fresh tomato, basil, and mozzarella.
The guys who work here are pretty friendly and this place is open late, so I don't really have any major complaints,
They have a vegan pizza here that I'd like to try sometime.
I'm from California so it's strange to find a delicious New York pizzeria that doesn't have "New York" advertised all over it like where I'm from. It's refreshing to find a pizzeria that tastes amazing and offers an impressive selection of vegan pizzas. I ordered a few pizzas here and while I scramble to remember the names, I do recall these slices all had at least three ingredients in them besides the cheese and sauce. The sauce is rich and hot; and I believe was what made the pizza very tasty.
Some pizzas are not necessarily great but others are to die for. As one reviewer suggests, you risk with experimenting and once you find a type you enjoy, you stick to it like tape. Italian Ices are refreshing too though the sweet vanilla with hard chocolate chips was way too awkward of a combination. Stick with the fruit.
The staff gave me free sauce and pizza bread to dunk it in. They gave me a reason which I cannot recall, something having to do with giving me a small pizza. (The size of my pizza seemed fine.) The whole staff was friendly and reflects the morale of the pizzeria as I enjoyed spending time here.
many a vegan pizzas live here
Amazing Vegan Pizza, Creative Options, Garlic Knots, Vegan Sauage Rolls, and Vegan treats. This is how you do it my friends and one of the coolest vibes makes Vinnie's a must go.
Rant, I'm going to be bias here, as someone who has decided to live the vegan lifestyle, I really appreciate when an food establishment pushes itself to create wonderful items that are non-animal based because it so goes against the fundamentals of America. I'm not hating on meat-eaters, last year I was your protypcial meat eater, but our current society doesn't quite know how to deal with people who don't want hamhocks cooking with the collard greens. Mother!
Pizza is the same way, cheese is really good and extra cheese on pizza, anyway, what I really have come to like about NY as I have traveled there this year, is that food made without animal products is judged on the basis of how good and creative it is, nothing more and nothing less. Vinnie's treats it vegan pies no different than the others so it becomes an issue of the quality of the food and not some tree-hugging statement. Being Vegan doesn't mean being weird or anti-social and neither should the food. If I want a BBQ chicken pie, I'm glad I can get one.
Absolutely beautiful pizza experience for the exhausted and/or drunk. Perhaps even for the horribly sober.*
Look for the most recently baked - "young" - pies. Some of the more "mature" pies on the rack may get a bit "juicy" in the crust and become rather "floopy" and require the aid of plastic utensils - which may downgrade your social status in the eyes of your peers and neighbors - unless you are willing to soil at least eight out of ten digits - which may or may not down-/upgrade your social status in the eyes of your peers and neighbors.
I gladly utilized a pair of plastic utensils to operate on my chicken & broccoli slice that was perhaps baked a few hours before Janelle Monae took the stage at Music Hall and I surely felt the penetrating eyes and heard the murmurs of disapproval not only from within the Pizzeria, but also from Bedford Ave.
* I'll find out at some point and update this review.
Forget the food for a second - the guys who work there are all hilarious and pretty good-looking.
The pizza? The vegan BBQ chicken pizza is totally unreal. A must-get if you're torn between slices. The vegan sausage roll is also pretty good and really filling. Make sure you get some sauce on the side cause it can be dry at times.
I mostly stop in for the vegan treats like the Boston Cream donuts. They come in Tuesday afternoons so if you're hoping for some, don't stop in after Wednesday night. The vegan oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies are massive and delicious.
Vegan or non-vegan, you're going to find a few things to love about Vinnie's.
I won't write another review about the pizza being tasty, because there are about 70 of those already.
But, I will say, that all the staff is very super friendly, and the man with the button up and tie is just as tasty as the pies. rawr.
Kinda chaotic to place an order. The old man had no freakin clue what i was asking for even though it was framed on the wall.
I refuse to eat vegan pizza. I eat vegan 90% of the time because of my fiance but i just cant deal with that cheese so i got the veg chicken hero with real mozzarella cheese. They skimped on the chicken but it was good.
I ate a bite of the vegan macaroni and the vegan bbq chicken slice but i wasnt really impressed.
Dont get me wrong...its GREAT that theres a place where vegans can go to get a slice of pizza and he loved it. Ill stick to the real deal though.
Oh My God.
My slice was simple. Spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomato.
With a shmere of tomato sauce, a sprinkling of vegan cheese.
Spelt crust, with a satisfying crispness and warm chewiness - as all pizza crust should be.
I finally made it to Vinnie's, for Vinnie's vegan pizza. I have finally achieved satisfaction in vegan pizza.
Bravo.
The spinach, feta, and tomato pizza is delicious. So is the tomato, basil and mozzarella slice. The guys behind the counter are so sweet. They gave me an extra slice of pizza since the slice I ordered was smaller than it should be. The garbage can also says "T.HANKS" and has a picture of Tom Hanks... that was funny as hell.
The crust is perfect. Delicious, Fresh toppings. I'd definitely go back.
Update: Went back last night and got an avocado, black bean, feta and tomato slice... my mouth had an orgasm. I will make it a point to go back here any time I'm in Brooklyn. Love this place!
AMAZING.
no seriously.
the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because if you decide to "try something new" and end up with something you don't necessarily like (eg: would not recommend the tortellini pizza...) it's not like they're gonna take it back.
Otherwise, this is one of two pizza places I am willing to make an effort to go to.
Vegan pizza! That's always been the reason I've gone to Vinnie's, and I think it's delicious. Where else can you get a "chicken", broccoli & "cheese" slice? The toppings are always creative too, such as tortellini pizza, or black bean and avocado pizza.
I am forever indebted to my friend who first introduced me to Vinnie's, and I continue to spread the word of vegan pizza to everyone I know!
Massive slices of pizza can make a simple post drink stop feel like an adventure. That can be a bad thing. There is such a thing as too much. But Vinnie's (which I've always known as "Bedford Pizza" but hey whatayagonnado) makes one of the best slices in Brooklyn.
After some serious Valentine's Day comp at The Gutter we headed to Vinnie's to fill up and got one of the bursting concoctions that must be thought up on the tops of mountains by great philosophers. Barely able to get a hold of the slice, we both had to eat it off the plate and pick up the delicious detritus with plastic forks. I think Vinnie knows just how unruly and tasty his pies are.
This is only my third review on Yelp and my second review of a pizza joint.... what can I say, I love pizza!
So Vinnie's is a great little place. The staff are very laidback and seem like they enjoy what they're doing. It definitely shows in the service and the quality of the food. I was extremely thrilled when I discovered that they serve Barqs Root Beer!!! And not in a can but fountain! Pizza and root beer, nothing better!
On my first visit I tried one of their "special" slices which had pepperoni, sausage and onion i think. It was so good! The crust is good and doesn't get soggy from too much sauce and oil! The pizza over all isn't too oily which is always good for my tummy. I also had the vegan pizza roll thingies which are very delicious! I beleive these come with regular meat as well.
On my second visit I tried the vegetable slice with real cheese which was very tasty. The veggies were fresh, not too much sauce, just right. I also had a vegan BBQ chicken slice. I thought the BBQ sauce they used really detracted from the slice. Maybe it's just me, but it wasn't the greatest. The other ingredients on the slice were very good however.
All in all, Vinnie's Pizzeria is a great pizza place and I will continue going back there to try out all of the various pizza combo's they have to offer. Great atmosphere, Friendly service, Great pizza!
The pizza was REALLY good. The crust was thin and even though they reheated the slice up for me, it wasn't lukewarm or anything - and the cheese was really good.
I'm no vegan and I'm pretty boring so I just got the pepperoni and cheese. But they seemed to have a lot of options for vegans and of course you could create your own topping.
The guys behind the counter were really nice.
My buddy who got a vegan BBQ pizza said the sauce was tasty and rich but he didn't like the cheese. I'll let him write his own review.
I'd totally go back for a quick slice.
Just went yesterday and boy was I happy! Me and my boyfriend read some reviews here on Yelp and decided to make the trip over there. It seems like a ordinary pizzeria until you see all the vegan pizza options. I had the Avocado Quesidilla and it was delicious! I would have gotten another one but I ate the last one :(
I also tried the Chicken And Broccoli one which was also good. My boyfriend said his regular slice was better than some of the pizza shops near him! Me and him are planning to come again and buying a pie to take home next time!
Vegan BBQ chicken and Spicy chicken. Anyplace that can make this taste good is alright by me.
I live off a different L stop from Vinnie's but make it over there at least once a week. The vegan pepperoni rolls are amazing. The different vegan combination pizzas are great too. The vegan cookie dough ice cream is worth a shot. The best thing about Vinnie's, though, has got to be the guys behind the counter. I've never met an unfriendly face there and most of the guys go out of their way to explain different menu items. I don't know, it's like they're actually proud of the place or something. Crazy notion.
Highly recommended to vegans and to everyone. If you're looking for a chill place to go with a mixed group of diets, this is it.
Oh man! Did I just go in my pants? I probably did because I had Vinnie's today for lunch. It's definitely not the usual slices (which for purists may be a turn off) and the staff here wears that uniqueness with pride, these guys are hepped up on being happy and having a blast, it's probably something in the dough. The dough is very good, the chewy texture, it just has a great bread quality to it, it's moist and while a bit soggy toward the center due to the extreme toppings, it's still ok in my book (what book? I don't even have books).
I had the chicken parm, which was good, balls of buffalo mozz looking like half golf balls. But the second slice I had was ridiculous: bacon cheddar chicken ranch.
Bacon. Cheddar. Chicken. Ranch sauce. Are you serious? I'm serious. My ass just became unchiseled.
These guys really rock, definitely coming here to eat if I'm in the area (always struggled to find just a quick food stop because I'm usually hungry on the way to a show and don't want to do a sit down thing).
It's a small joint, but like I said, everyone is smiling, they're pretty busy, punch out some ridiculous combinations, and really quick on the pizza draw.
Best vegan pizza I've ever had. I don't have much else to say on it, my favorite I think is the barbecue chicken pizza although their Hawaiian pizza wasn't bad either.
