Pittsburgh's own counterpart to the Seinfeld Soup Nazi might just be pizzeria owner Vincent Chianese, whose gruff, chain-smoking demeanor hasn't mellowed in the 50 years he's been serving his loyal customers. Though he no longer makes the pies, his no-bull attitude also has rubbed off on his protegee-cum employees.
With the outside looking like a dingy highway tavern and an interior decorated mainly with beer mirrors and clouds of white flour, people don't really come here for the atmosphere. The real attractions are the pies themselves, wonderfully sloppy and greasy affairs with thick, fluffy crusts. Vinnie pies cost almost twice as much as those at comparable places such as Mineo's, yet even the small size is so huge that it's as big as a large elsewhere, enough for leftovers the next day.
A generation of baby boomers grew up going here, and its reputation has earned it top pizza honors in the area. Pizzas are the main menu option, and there's no delivery, so many who return to town make it a point to stop back at Vincent's even before visiting friends and family. -- Manny Theiner

The Best!
Jancatzzz - 11/08/2008Used to eat at Vincent's in Monroeville in the 1960's. Right over the hill from Gateway High School. Always a cigarette in Vincent's mouth! I am in Florida now, and would like one of his pizza's right now!!!

DanielH0917 - 11/06/2008Since I moved from Irwin 4 years ago I had to quit eating Pizza. Once you eat Vinnies Pie, you cant eat any body pies. I have told people out west I'm from the Pittsburgh area, and I hear." Hey have you ever eaten at Vinnies on Ardmore"?" Vincents the best in the world
the best pizza ever

THE VERY BEST
Glojdo - 06/22/2008Went to Vincent's on a date in 1966 .. married that guy? Went to Vincents often (we ended up living in E. McKeesport Then moved here and there over last 40+ years .. now we are in Upper Burrell. We go into Holiday Park for Vincents Pizza. By the way, I've been on a diet but it went to hell in a handbag yesterday when we went to Vincents. Told my husband rather than getting average pizza delivered now and then we will calendar once a month to have a Vincents SMALL (and yes the small is pretty big) pizza and that can be my binge day!
Savor the Vinnie pizza ... tasty
