Nothing special at all. Pizza crust was cardboard thin and not crispy at all. Picked it up on the time given to be ready. Pizza was cold which I knew it would be since the bottom of the box wasn't hot. Had the wings also, just OK. Buffalo sauce was really weak, almost watered down. This place use to be very good, not so much currently. Have to think about giving another chance. read more

Wow!! What a fabulous takeout experience! When your kitchen has just been gutted and you just want to watch football . . . Boy did we get lucky! The Italian beef pizza (had to - Go Bears!) and the anti pasto salad that my electrician wouldn't stop singing praises about . . . PERFECTION! Keep doing what you're doing! Not to mention when I placed the order with requests of peppers for the pizza and dressing on the side - met with a no problem happy to assist in anyway / You must go! read more

Last night at 5:04 pm I called and ordered Chicken Parm, salad and bread to be delivered to my home in Inverness. I was told 40 - 45 minutes. Ar 6:27 i called to check on the order. Five additional calls later I spoke with the manager, owner and driver. First the order left, then it was forgotten and remade. Lastly at 8 pm I was told it was on its way and being comped. Guess what? It never showed up. A waste of my time. A bunch of liars read more

Quick pizza fix while in town. Vini's came through. Had the thin crust, loaded. Very generous with the toppings and cheese. Great pizza. Pickup was quick and very efficient. Definitely worth a try! read more

Had their pizza a few times and enjoyed it. Think it's pathetic that on a Thursday night your closing at 7;30. This is a sure way to steer business to other locations. My guy is open to 2am. You definitely wouldn't survive in the city. Get some sleep! read more

Memories from ordering a slice of pizza in high school 19 years ago. Ordered pizza for our huge family. It was a big hit with kids and grownups. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. We love supporting small business also. Big discounts on Sundays. read more

Love Vini's Pizza! Usually pizza has too much sodium but Vini's is perfect. They also have Mexican food. Very versatile and always tasty.

Pizza is overpriced, crust is not crispy but super thin, flavor of cheese pizza was bland.

great pizza, absolute terrible staff. We ordered two slicer pizzas and 4 ranch. The pizzas had the right toppings, but wrong type of pizza..they sent us pan style. I called the restaurant and they wouldn't listen to my order, the guy kept saying "nope, that's wrong, we don't have it" Even though I'm reading the receipt. Really was annoying, cause they closed at 9 pm on a Saturday and didn't want to own his mistake. Hoping he was the only bad apple. read more

First time, is our last time. Picked up a cool pizza, not hot. Very little sauce, which was not tasty. Half sausage was only 1/4 sausage. Very pricey, and won't be back! read more

I went there for a slice of pizza. It was $6. When I was handed the box I knew right away something was wrong. It had no weight to it. I opened the box and it was this ridiculous thin slice of pizza. I gave it a try and not to my surprise it was ok at best. Pizza Hut is better. There's another Vini's in Elk Grove Village. Night and day difference. read more

Love the food and love to support small business! Definitely great service and quality food. read more

Used to be a loyal customer but last two separate orders have been reheated pizzas. Pizza places will pre-make common pizzas and just warm them up prior to delivery. It's very evident as the cheese below the pepperoni is darkened and pepperoni is barely cooked. Not to mention the rubbery crust of an old pizza. The first time we ate it and didn't realize it. The second time, we realized it and they promptly redelivered a freshly cooked pizza. The replacement was great but Vinis shouldn't be partaking in this practice. We'll try them again one day but for now, no thanks . read more

For me, an Italian sausage and mushroom thin crust from Vini's is the best pizza in the world.

Still looking for a good pizza place in Palatine...had tried Vini's many years ago and wasn't impressed. So I thought it time to give them another try. Definitely better than before, loved the thin crust which is my go to crust. Biggest problem, extremely pricey. Wouldn't have minded the price if there was at least more ingredients. Had some pieces that were basically cheese only and we ordered 3 different ingredients. read more

Pizza by the slice, fast, delicious, priced well, and huge! I can't believe I ate the whole thing! Pretty sure it negated my 21 mile bike ride, but worth it! read more

quality establishment good pizza for a great price my picky eater nephew approved! awesome job guys!

Have you ever wondered what heaven taste like? I've never had anything like Vini's. It's one of a kind: the atmosphere-- the perfect layers of bread, sauce, gooey cheese and your toppings... I've been coming here for 15 years. Don't die wondering. Best deal money can buy. read more

Yea I mean it's alright. Used to eat this place all the time. Idk why it's not good anymore. They must have gotten new owners or started using cheaper stuff. I miss 2012 Vinis. I'm going to Naps pizza next time. 2 stars because I ate it but not going to lie, it was disappointing. Even posted in on my snapchat story complaining about it and some of my internet friends agreed. Step up or get out of Palatine. read more

This place is great! The staff is always inviting, and extremely professional. My family has ordered almost everything from the menu, have not been disappointed. Honestly give it a try, if it misses,I'm sorry. I can't believe you will be disappointed. read more

Go to Napolis instead for slices Every time I've been here the slices taste hours old, whereas they're constantly fresh at Nap's from open to 11 at night. The crust is pretty much grease soaked and the cheese is burnt unfortunately. I've given it 3 strikes to be bad in a row and it's been 4, so now I have to do my good as a citizen with good taste. read more

Stopped in for a slice. Got the sausage, pepperoni,bacon and jalapeños. Best slice I've having awhile.

Years ago I use to order the "Bubba Beef" and it was the best ever. I would always highly reccomend the Bubba Beef. My guests where always amazed @ the quality of this beef sandwich on garlic bread with mozzarella. Now, the Bubba Beef is not even edible in my opinion. Its half the size (a good thing) and the "Freshly Sliced Homemade Italian Beef" I believe is false advertising. They now use the cheap generic beef that all the hot dog stands use. This is apparent by the large amount of beef piled on. Rubbery, light color and tasteless. Next time I want a quality sandwich with Homemade Beef I'll go to Lukes! Atleast the Mushrooms where delicious. Sorry guys, atleast change the description on the menu or charge more for the old Bubba Beef. Maybe an up grade option? -Mike G. read more

Won't deliver to Schaumburg. Makes you use DoorDash which makes it twice as expensive.

The pizza is decent here. Ive had the individual slices as well as the panzerotti and pizzarrito. Theyre all pretty good. Today i order a crispy chicken sandwich and mac n cheese. The sandwich is ok but the mac n cheese??!! I received mostaccioli covered in cheese used for cheese fries. Really??? Thats your so called mac n cheese??? Super dissapointed. read more

I'm going to go ahead and give Vinis the 5 stars. I've ordered from here probably a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Ive tried the thin crust, slicer and double dough and that's how id rank from least to most favorite. If you like Sicilian crust I can guarantee you is one of the better pizzas you will have. And they are consistent. Thank you Vinis read more

We used to like Vini's but our previous order will be our last. The pizza was so greasy it actually leaked all the way through the box and started running down my hand. Worse than that was the VERY burnt garlic bread they had wrapped up realizing we wouldn't know until we got home. When someone wraps up something which is so horribly burnt it makes me wonder what else they would do to my food without a second thought. read more

Vini's Pizza - Care about their customers? I think not. The fact they would wrap this up and give it to someone clearly shows the quality. - Pizza Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

We had moved into the area and ordered from here and loved it. That was 6 months ago. I don't know what changed but the last 3 times we ordered the order was wrong. You should not have to open your sandwich and check before you get home. We just ordered tonight. Beef dry with juice on the side and mozzarella. Well the beef was dry but no mozzarella and no juice on the side. Ok not the end if the world if they didn't charge you extra for both. Not sure why they charge for juice. Oh well gave them 3 more chances and they failed. Not going back. read more

The pizza here is fabulous. I'm not a fan of deep dish so I was looking for a thin crust with lots of cheese (I am from WI, after all). This did not disappoint. The cheese was ample and I don't think they could possibly put any more toppings on the pizza. My only gripe here is the cost-it's a bit pricey. I ordered a 12 inch, 1/2 Vini's house special and 1/2 Vini's deluxe. I'm from out of town so I wanted to try both since they sounded so good. The price listed on the website for either of these as a 12 inch pizza is $21.80. Which in itself seemed expensive, but hey, it's on the company's dime. When I went to pick up the pizza, the total (including a bottle of water) came to just under $30.00. Seemed a bit steep, but the pizza was wonderful. I suppose it was worth it given the copious amounts of toppings. read more

The pizza is alright, pretty good ratio of pizza sauce to cheese to crust but the texture of the crust could be better and it is a little too greasy for me. read more

5 stars x 10! Just discovered Vini's in Palatine and without hesitation I can say the Bubba Beef sandwich is the best I've ever had. As a "seasoned senior" living in or near Chicago for over 70 years, I've enjoyed my share of Italian beef sandwiches. Al's or Portillo's have always ranked high with me, but Vini's wins 1st place now. The excellent service, substantial portions, quality preparation and affordability can't be beat. Just wish they had a location here in Grayslake. read more

Always consistent and fresh. Haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet! One of our go to's for pizza and beef.

Simply the best! The same friendly staff greet me by name for the last 7 years. It's a great place to grab a giant slice & drink, but it doesn't stop with the pizza. They have incredible salads, pasta, appetizers, chicken and Italian beef. This hard working crew crank out the best in the burbs. Great quality and great value. They also have the Belly rewards program. Check it out you won't be disappointed. read more

This place bangs. Get the slice. Best deal in the Midwest. There thin crust is good too. Generous with the toppings. Been coming here for 28 years and haven't found better pizza in Chicago. We take family from out of town here. Never had a bad experience. You know it's good pizza when the leftovers are almost as good as fresh. Don't believe these one star reviews. read more

After trying numerous pizza joints since moving to Palatine last December, we finally got around to trying Vini's and boy are we glad we did. Our first pizza order for delivery was their Bubba Beef Pizza and an order of chicken wings. Both were absolutely delicious. Nice big wings, not little tiny ones like B-Dubs. Order arrived quickly and the driver was friendly and courteous! Our second delivery order was a Bruschetta Pizza and a Meat Lovers Pizza with another order of wings. Both of these pizza's were awesome! Again, quick delivery from a friendly driver. It looks like we've finally found our "regular" pizza shop! read more

Save yourself the disappointment and money. Order a Chicago Deep Dish pizza elsewhere. What a joke!! Ordered a small 12" sausage and cheese deep dish expecting a deep dish. What I got is far from it. Barely any sauce and cheese filling up the thing. I'm talking like it was barely enough to cover a thin crust more less this thick and chewy dough they use in the shape of a deep dish. Each slice had on average 2 1/2 little pieces of sausage and for the $3.10 ingredient charge I was really disappointed. This was more like a really thick pan pizza using crust that was so thick it took up 3/4 of the weight of the pizza. Save yourself the disappointment and just order from Giordano's for the same price. At least you won't get pizza bread with a thin layer of sauce and cheese. What a joke!! read more

Food is good for what it is and where it comes from. However as I stood there waiting for my food the pizza maker was on his cell phone leaning over the shredded pizza cheese. He put it away and then touched his nose then put his hands and arms into the cheese to refill the pizza station. The pizza cutter was standing there brushing his hair from his hears took cash from a customer then cut her pizza and grabbed a napkin for her and her young son. The cook in the back wiped his head sweat from his head before he prepared a Togo order. The delivery driver took an open canned beverage out of the prep cooler to drink. No gloves and no hand washing. I should have stayed in my car so I did not see any of this. I bet they save money on sanitation and safety products because they don't use them. read more

Ordered the slicer crust and it's as good as I remembered. We moved back to the area and was anxious to eat here again. They were great, brought the food out to the car so I didn't have to wait in a crowd during the pandemic. read more
