Vinnie's Pizzeria

Hidden gem alert! This place may be out on the very southern edge of Winston-Salem, but that should not stop you from dropping in for a bite to eat. Vinnie's has big flavors, reasonable prices, good service, and is a pretty comfortable place to eat in or take out.We ended up here out of a desire to try something new, but also because my wife has been hangry for a proper chicken parm sandwich for weeks now. We tried to satiate that craving somewhere else, and it was unfortunately about the worst chicken parm sandwich either one of us had ever seen or tasted. I took to Yelp, scouring for an Italian place doing it right. Properly breaded chicken cutlet, plenty of mozzarella cheese, adorned with a wonderful sauce on some light airy bread. Man, did we ever find it!Another thing we saw when deciding what to order ahead of time were the garlic knots. They looked like perfection, so we had to start our meal out with those, even though that pushed our meal into carb overload territory. Well, now we won't go back without ordering them. These might have been the best garlic knots I have ever been served. Lots of robust garlic flavor, golden buttery outside sprinkled with parm, inside texture could not have been better... cooked just past the point of being dough. There were 10 to an order. We ate them all, even though we didn't intend to. They were just too good.My sandwich was also excellent, the "Chicken Vinnie's" panini. Grilled chicken with a balsamic glaze, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella on perfectly pressed sandwich bread. The chicken was tender and juicy, there was plenty of mozz and red peppers, and the acidic touches of the balsamic tied it all together. I got mine with onion rings for a slight upcharge, even they were excellent!To tell the truth, since A Slice of Napoli closed, I have not successfully found a true replacement for their casual Italian fare. There are a few good Italian restaurants in our area, but all are geared toward dinner. Replacing their combination of taste and value had proved almost impossible. I have finally found it again in Vinnie's, and I don't care that it's a bit out of the way... we'll be back!

Ordered fried Zucchini for starters, and two pasta entrees. All three dishes were great and were served in a timely manner. Service was excellent and responsive. Vinnies was exactly what we were looking for in a fast causal Italian joint. Definitely will be coming back

This is a great local restaurant, we haven't been for awhile so stopped in for early dinner. The server, Kaitlynn remembered us & was attentive through our meal. She suggested the daily special app, Arancini Balls so we tried them & ordered a large supreme pizza. The Arancini was exceptional! Best we have ever had. Pizza came out at perfect time & delicious! We definitely took home leftovers as the pizza was huge! Staff are always friendly, food is consistent good & becoming one of our faves!

I have been here before but it was long time ago,So me and my daughter stopped by for a late lunch to give them a try again since we did not remember if we like it or not We started with the fried calamari 6 out 10 good flavor but chewyFried mozzarella sticks 5 out 10 cheese not melted Bruschettas 6.8 good flavor but was missing something Margherita pizza 6 out 10 Bacon and pepperoni slice 5 out 10 The service was great, we was seated right away

Ty calls this the spot with the really good bread. We've actually been back twice since this original meal and I see this as a staple in our week from here on out. This is some of the best gluten free pasta I've had. It is great leftover and doesn't fall apart like a lot of gf pastas. I'm gonna have to work my way through the menu but the arrabbiata really hit the spot the house salad dressing is a must try as well!

I hate to admit this but I always judge restaurants in shopping centers for some reason. However, this place is legitimate. First off, the service here is impeccable, our waitress was on top of everything and even packed our food for us at the end of the meal. The place also has an extremely home style feel to it, come as you are and enjoy the food. Everything I tried tonight was absolutely phenomenal and tasted super fresh. My husband and I will definitely be going back here again. Quick tip though, come hungry, the portions are huge. Be ready to share or have leftovers.

What I ordered and what I got, well... it was questionable. Some ingredients were missing, the veggies and noodles were over cooked. The flavor just lacked. I wish the food and service would be more consistent, great one day and disappointing the next. It's a convenient location, but I'll lay off for a while. Perhaps they're going through changes, but I'm not keen on paying for a dish that I have to ditch. Yes, it was reported.

Ohmygoodness! SO tasty, and perfect portions. My husband, who spent years around a Sicilian table, said it's the best he's had in decades. Relaxed feel, and service was friendly, fast and appropriately attentive. Coming back!

Vinnie's is the neighborhood, locally owned Italian restaurant we all wish to have near us (a couple of steps above the food and overall experience offered by the late Slice of Napoli, off Country Club Rd)- good food, good service, much conversation in Italian comes from the kitchen (some of which is loud), of which we understand none, and there is always Italian music playing at a moderate+ level.I have tried many items on the very varied menu and can definitely recommend: any of the pizza choices, the 2 slice pizza daily special - the slices are huge, Linguine with Clam Sauce, Stromboli Classico, Italian Sub, the complementary Italian bread with pesto served with pasta dishes,pasta with Meat Sauce, the Marinara Sauce, and more. And they offer Peroni on draft - 20 oz for $5.95!!The service is very good, and they appreciate your business.Come and Ciao Down!

This was my first time going here. It's kind of hidden in a shopping center and looks very small from the outside. It's much bigger inside. I ordered a Stromboli classic and it was huge. I ordered a small. It was very good and cooked perfectly. My wife ordered a custom calzone and she loved it as well. Our waitress was absolutely great. Great service and was on top of everything we needed. She overheard us talking about it being my birthday and gave us a free cannoli to split. She even had them write happy birthday on the plate. It was overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place for you.
