I was just home for my nephew's wedding, and met Vince's granddaughter at the Pizza Park. I told her quite a few stories about her grandfather, we laughed quite a bit, and I got a large Vince with everything but fish. Man is that great pizza. Thanks Swiss for posting this. I think I will get them to fly one to LA.

I thought they closed.

The Ardmore Boulevard location was closed for a couple years a couple years back. The whole while though, the Plum Boro location was open. Now...Ardmore's re-opened, and Plum closed. Ardmore is renovated inside some actually, not the first room where the pizzas get made, but the bar was turned into more table space. Outside is still the same.

Was hanging out at my buddy's coffee shop this morning, pulled up this esteemed site (see what I did there )... saw the name of the thread and immediately swiss popped into my head as the likely creator of this thread. Scrolled right on my phone and sure enough, it was swiss.

True story and make of it what you will.

The pizza in that pic just looks like a regular old pizza to me.

Still dont get what makes this pizza that great.

Dough...sauce...cheese...toppings....not that fucking hard is it ?

It's the greaz, STD!

Check out their Facebook page....Vincent's Pizza Park...scroll down a ways, get past the contest bullshit. There's some great pics of their pies. I've told this story more than once....my friend, Stupid Charlie...he wouldn't believe me that it was the best pizza in the world. Brought him there once, 30 years ago, and he's been a believer ever since. When he finished graduate school in Boston, some of his friends told him they would take him out to dinner anywhere east of the Mississippi. Charlie's response...."Vinnie's Pizza in Pittsburgh." And off they went for the weekend.

Ive toyed with the idea of opening a pizza shop. Lol. Lancaster Berks and Chester Counties have damn few genuinely good pizzas. Good subs and cheesesteaks are a little more prevalent but not many.

I think a good Detroit style pie is hard to beat. The thick caramelized crust is what puts those over the top for me.

Doesnt seem like Pittsburgh has a particular style per se just some great pizzaiolas

For years, the only one touching the pie was Vince. If he was going on vacation, the place closed. Then, about 20 years ago, his protege...guy with a good dago name, Dave Miller, started making the pies...Just as good. Dave's gone now, too. The granddaughter, Lisa, who moved to Pittsburgh from California recently, makes some pies. She's posted on this esteemed website.

Tons of toppings, pizzas are misshapen, hence no boxes...to go on slabs of cardboard, wrapped in heavy paper, stapled on the corners.

Spent four years in Lebanon County....can't say I ever had a pizza that was any good.

What exactly is your culinary experience, if I may ask?

I know of 2 decent pies in all of Lancaster County....The Pressroom downtown....and the Margarita Pizza at The Sandwich Factory in Neffsville....Vinolas in Leola isnt horrible.....all of the rest are detestable slabs of acidic red something covered with industrial grade cheese product on either a large round cracker or a chewy half baked dough blob....

Can you not read ?

I am SteelerChef....note the Chef part

He weighs over 300 pounds, guy must know a good pizza when he sees one.

2 things.

I'm going to have one delivered if we make the SB...which will probably kill me from grease shock.

And Vinnies grand daughter is hot.

That means "none." I thought so based on what you say about food. You might qualify as a grease pusher like I did working at the Gazebo for a summer, though.

Please note...

It's not grease that makes the Vinny Pie special; it's greaz.....it's an important distinction.

Noted.

Death from greaz.

It is the sausage that makes the greaz. We talked Vince into selling us a pound on night to cook for breakfast. We almost burnt the house down from the grease fire.

Yeah...I agree on the granddaughter...

Id definetly eat her pie anytime

Careful. She’ll read this and accuse you all of sexual abuse.

Having not seen her myself yet being a recovering addict that spent several years really believing pussy was in fact gold I’d likely eat her pie too...

How about just disturbing and creepy?

Dude. I’m all for the Vinnie Pie being shipped to you but that chic being hot is madness. By hot do you mean almost scary ugly. One more gene and she could be the Joker and a circus clown mixed.

What the
