Evaluating several pizza restaurants in the Oviedo area, we decided to try out Vinny's for the first time. We got (for take-out) an order of garlic knots and two 13-inch pizzas, a sausage and pepperoni, and a mushroom and extra cheese. The total came to just over $40.The garlic knots (6) were quite large, a bit crunchy on top, and moist and chewy inside. They were served with a small container of marinara sauce. They were topped with a sprinkling of garlic, spices, and oil. The sauce was mild and decently fresh tasting, with small chunks of tomato. All in all, they were quite adequate as doughy rolls, but they could have been made much better with a greater seasoning to dough ratio. Folding in garlic with the dough would have helped. Also a little Romano cheese to add saltiness and sharp tang.The pizzas were generously topped, the sauce was tangy, not sweet, and the crust was very thin. A very good New York style pair of pies. Impressively there was no grease bleed-in through the crust, despite the thinness. The meats gave off a pleasant aroma of pepper and a bit smoky, very nice. The taste was very fresh, and the sauce complimented the toppings very well. The mozzarella was cooked just right to blend and bind the toppings.In summary, a pair of really tasty and expertly cooked pizzas. We will definitely return in the future and recommend this place to readers seeking a taste of top-notch New York cuisine.
Went for lunch. Ordered the mussels appetizer for 10.99. Eight mussels came out. The 9th wasn't open. I order mussel appetizers whenever I can and I have NEVER seen this little. It was an insult. I understand times are tough right now but this seems to be outside of that. This is not shrimp. I asked if that was the usual portion and she said yes. On top of that, no bread came out with it. Instead, I was asked if I wanted bread as if for 10.99 none comes with it. So I had to wait longer for that. A whole basket of beautiful bread came out which made the size of the mussels even more silly. They weren't even that good so I won't be going back.
Wow!!!! I’ve had a plethora of different pizzas in Orlando and up north: I have to say Vinny’s comes closest to what I’ve been craving and searching for in Florida!!! Such a magnificent dough and the ingredients were absolutely superb. Most Alfredo sauces are flour laden in Orlando so I was shocked at the absolutely delectable flavor and silkiness of their Alfredo sauce! A must try and was definitely worth the drive from Orlando. Thank you Alex and ladies!
Very good pizza. We tried large cheese with half pepperoni and garlic knots and both were great. Super thin crust medium char and small pep which were very good. I’ve tried a lot of pizza in Orlando and this is at the very top. Will definitely be back.
Once again people around this area hyped a pizza place up and it ends up being mediocre. I paid 25-26 for a large penne pizza with chicken, then another $23 for a pie with pepperoni. In my honest opinion, the prices are too high. Diving into the pizza…penne alla vodka pie was decent. Sauce didn’t impress me and tasted bland with no sweet taste like vodka sauce usually has. Chicken was nice, but they didn’t add enough to be charging the $4-5 add on price tag. Regular pie was okay…they added too much pepperoni (see pics). Garlic knots had too much garlic and were not worth it. The wings were solid…but I had to dress up my own wings with the hot sauce on the side. Overall - good place but not a one time a week place for me. I order pizza on the weekends to give the fam a break, but this doesn’t take the spot of another local place. I’m a pizza lover that is used to New Haven style Apizza (best in the U.S.) so my reviews on pies are usually spot on. Some tips…more sugar and garlic in the vodka sauce and take it easy on the peppo. Also, maybe lighten up on the garlic on the knots and even it out with some cheese. If that’s the pricing you need to make things work, than so be it. But compared to others around, the price is high for what you get. I’ll give them another shot some day, but for right now I think the review is where they stand currently. The service was great, young lady that took care of me in the front was friendly and welcomed me with a smile. This review drops a star for the price and another star for the rest listed above. Can’t be spending $60+ for 2 large pies, 6 piece wings, and some garlic knots for pickup. I hope they make some adjustments, as they are a solid addition to this town. I will update as I try it out again.
Being from NYC I'm used to great pizza. I'm now living in Florida and I have to say the food here is great. Had the margarita pizza and I could tell right away they use the best ingredients including actual real fresh mozzarella. 5 stars definitely. If you're in Oviedo Winter springs area you have to check out Lil Vinnys.
Lil Vinny’s is so delicious and the staff here couldn’t be nicer and accommodating! The pizza is just right, so tasty!! Their bruschetta is phenomenal! I really appreciate that they use fresh, chopped garlic!! most garlic~knots from other restaurants use garlic out of a jar, not Lil Vinny’s! Highly recommend this gem!
