Vini's is on my route and I've been going there for some time now. Recently the quality has gone way down. I usually get the slice of pizza and liter drink every time I stop in. The last few times the pizza was ice cold and or undercooked. The size actually seems to be going down as well. The place was good before but I feel like they're skimming down on quality, it's been a good run but won't be back. read more

Vini's Pizza - a slice of pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

This place is so flavorful. 1 bite and you immediately become a believer that this 'may' be the best pizza joint in Chicago-Land. Yes that's a bold statement - but honestly not far from the truth. Try the pan crust it's the perfect go between full Chicago style and thin crust. read more

This place is ridiculous! 5 dollars for for a slice this skinny. They did me so dirty. read more

Vini's Pizza - Skinny slice - Pizza Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Wow so disappointed. I used to come here all the time in high school and it's changed. I was looking forward to it but I won't be coming back anymore. Pizza isn't the same and price increased for worse pizza. Bring back the old vinis read more

Pizza was a bit pricey for the quality. Good amount of sauce but very greasy. Very thin and floppy crust. Would not order again. read more

Vini's Pizza - 18" half cheese, half pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

I've ordered from Vini's no less than 5 times in the past few months because of its convenience and rather prominent advertisements stating 'voted best pizza in Palatine'. I would love to speak with those judges! Every pizza I've tried has been way less than stellar. If you enjoy an uber messy, soggy crusted, unevenly cooked pizza-Vini's is for you. I guess my tastes have been spoiled by Lou Malnati's. My reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is the service. They are always quick to answer the phone, and friendly upon pick-up. Vini's has the customer service part down-the food just needs to catch up! read more

I'm not a thin crust girl, I love pan pizzas. We decided to geta 20" double decker to feed three of us at work-BIG MISTAKE! It was like a giant pizza sandwich. We had to either sell or give away the remaining pieces. On another occasion, I stopped in for just a slice for my kid, and that was as big as his head! I also needed enough to feed up to fifty people for a presentation at work, and they were my saving grace bringing over ten extra large pizzas and two salads just in time. read more

I have recently moved to the area here, and have been sampling pizza from around the area trying to find a good place to become my go-to pizza place. Vini's did a great job of meeting my thin crust pizza desires. A very zesty and quite delicious pizza which was at a near perfect thin crust thickness (when you are looking for a thin crust pizza). My only major gripe with them is in terms of pricing, and that is why they did not get a five star rating. I would probably be okay with there prices if it was a nice dine in location where I was getting served, but in terms of a delivery/take out place, the prices are a bit out of wack in my honest opinion. I guess I'll just have Vini's when I get a good coupon, or want to treat myself. In the meantime I will be continuing my search for my go-to pizza place :) read more

Awesome, awesome pizza! Its not a sit down place, as they have no seating, but thats okay. This is a great place to order pizza on a weeknight when you don't feel like cooking, or if you have some unexpected guests coming by. My wife said this is the best pizza she has ever had, and ever since then, this has become our go to place. Keep up the great work Vini's! read more

This place is very close to where I work so I often go here for lunch. I think it is a great deal - $4 for a slice (pepperoni, cheese, or sausage) and a 20oz soda. I believe if you get the specialty pizza it is an additional $0.50. The biggest drawback is that they don't have anyplace to sit inside and outside it is just some plastic lawn chairs. Regardless, I recommend it as the slices are big and so is the soda. read more

Cold burnt. The worst pizza I ever had. Took 1 hour to get here. Manager was rude and offered no apologies. read more

Vini's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

I give this place a two star because the pizza was good but it was the most expensive pizza (especially for a thin crust) that me or any of my friends have ever purchased. We ordered a four topping extra large thin crust pizza and one order of jalapeno poppers for delivery. The total not including tip was $48.11. When the delivery guy told me the price I thought he had the wrong order. When I inquired about the price he told me that it was his first day delivering for Vini's and he had already asked the staff twice if they had the right price on several of the pizza's they gave him because the receipts were so expensive. He was worried no one was going to tip him because of the prices. I gave the guy $5 because it's not his fault. They also forgot to print out a credit card receipt even though I gave them all of my credit card information over the phone. The delivery guy had to call and they told him they'd call him back cause they were busy. I just ended up writing my credit card number on the back of the receipt after five minutes of waiting for them to call back which they didn't. SUMMARY: PIZZA WAS GOOD PIZZA WAS SUPER SUPER SUPER EXPENSIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS SUBPAR 2/5 read more

Food is pretty decent but I'll never eat here again! Girl cutting the pizza stepped away from the table, adjusted her ponytail, took it out, combed through her hair with her fingers, put it back in, resumed cutting the pizzas and then boxed the slices! A whole rack of pizzas sitting right next to her. "I'm having a bad hair day", she said. The guy that looked like he was in charge watched the whole thing. She never washed her hands! Disgusting! Go in the back, take care of it, wash your hands and then return. Have some basic cleanliness! read more

We've frequently gone to Vini's for their pizza slices- always delicious and a great deal! Last night we tried their chicken parmigiana dinners and they were great - and lots of food, we had to save half for lunch today! read more

I decided to try something different and expected big things judging from the reviews here. The one negative that doesn't get much press here a lot is the high cost of extras on pizza, things like oh toppings... As a pizza place, I would say they get the food right, it's good pizza, no argument. Is it anything special? I would argue not really, it's competent but nothing standout about it, crisp crust and melty cheese with what seemed to be quality toppings. Taste was good but again, not one of those "how do they do it?!" flavors. The thing that bugs the heck out of me about Vini's is that my pizza cost $38, yes THIRTY-EIGHT dollars for a 3 topping pizza. I have never in my life paid that much for pizza. $3 (minimum) per topping is a little high, IMO. Looking at the menu, I thought, "hmm, $23 bucks is about the going price for a pizza this size, no biggie." and then as I'm hanging up the phone I have a hallucination that the cashier just quoted me a number somewhere around $40 for a thin disc of bread and cheese with a couple vegetables on it. I get it, quality costs extra, and I completely respect that. However, I've seen truly gourmet pizzas with truffle oil go for less in downtown Chicago, and this is not LaMadia Pizza. I think I will continue to frequent Nino's, who's pizza is just as good if not better for about $15 (that's a 3d IMAX movie folks) less. Lucky for Vini's they're pretty much in a different delivery area. read more

I have enjoyed the pizza from Vinni's Restaurant for many years! Their sauce and cheese are different from other places! Absolutely delicious! read more

Quite possibly Palatine's best thin crust pizza! Over the past two years I have gradually tried almost all of the pizza joints in Palatine and the majority of the restaurants. Vini's pizza would be #1 on my list for thin crust pizza and #2 on my list of best food in Palatine (see my review of Capri Deli for #1). Vini's Pizza offers the full arsenal of your average pizza parlor with a selection of appetizers you find at a lot of them. The mushrooms, in particular, are a crowd pleaser. I'm aware that most people are going to tell you to go to Lou Malnatis, but for thin crust it is almost always delivered underdone. If you really want a tasty thin crust hit up Vini's. The price is a touch higher than most of the pizza places in Palatine, but it is well worth it. Easily my favorite pizza place and second favorite food place in Palatine. read more

Slightly better than frozen but price is above average. Better off buying frozen and doctoring it up. read more

Vinis is a Palatine institution. It is good quality pizza, not the best in the world, but a solid Za. I have been coming here for probably close to 20-25 years. The sandwiches are also top notch and the beef is quality. My only complaint is the price. I ordered a large sausage pizza and a medium cheese, the total was $46, which seemed high. Either way, get yourself some food and enjoy a Palatine institution! read more

It's Easter Sunday and I called twenty places. Never had Vini's before. It was early for delivery and hot. It was gone before the time they said it would be delivered. my family devoured all of two 18" pizza's. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Vini's has the greatest lunch solution for high school students and someone looking for a break from work. Their jumbo slices and liter of pop are filling, delicious, and really hit the spot and only cost $4 of $4.50 for the special slice. The layers of toppings on a special slice probably cost Vini's more than the extra .50, so it's a great deal for customers if you like jalapenos, pepperoni, sausage, and bacon on your pizza. Try the pizzarito. It's multiple-times better than the best calzone you've ever had. Beefarito is like taking the pizzarito and mixing it with a savory Italian beef sandwich. Also, Vini's pasta, wings, and salads are delicious. Their salads are pretty healthy. Try their Caesar dressing...it's fantastic! I'll recommend my favorite specialty pizza: the Caesar Thin-Crust. Aside from the food, the service is great, too. The employees work hard and know their trade. The owners are especially nice and friendly. Try Vini's if you haven't. Try it again if you can't remember having it the first time years ago. read more

Some absolute gas food. This place has banging slices all day. Cheese, pepperoni, sausage - a palatine staple. Prices have gone up very high over the years but with our inflation rate and crumbling dollar who can blame them? read more

Best Pizza By The Slice I have had! Only 4 bucks and you get a liter of pop and a huge slice of pizza. The pizza is sooo good, it trumps the other area favorite (Napoli's). The slice is huge and has the perfect proportion of meat to cheese to sauce to bread to spices and on and on... They have many other menu items like burgers, beef, sausages, etc. It is called Vini's Pizza soo I'm coming here to get pizza, naturally. One time we ordered the 18" slicer (same type of pizza the pizza by the slice is) and it was like having 8 or more huge pizza by the slice, slices. This place is my pizza fix, I am absolutely addicted to it! read more

Just ok. I know people love Vini's but I prefer JJ Twiggs. Vini's sauce has an herb that is kind of strong for my liking. And pretty greasy as well. Sorry Vinis lovers read more

I really like this place. I only ever get by the slice. It's such a tremendously easy transaction... $4 exactly for a slice and grab your drink from the refrigerator. I really like the pizza. I go here a lot. I stockpile $1 bills specifically for this purpose. I think at the bank they believe I visit a lot of strippers, but I smell like sauce not perfume. I tell my wife I'm going to Home Depot to get parts to fix things, but I really go to vinis, then eat the slice in the garage while I pretend to work. One time she walked into the garage when my mouth was full. I quickly turned my back and held a sanding block to my ear, pretending to be on the phone. I waved her off over my head to give me a minute. One time I jumped out a first floor window to avoid being caught eating a slice because I'd already had dinner half hour earlier. read more

Vini's pizza is right by our place and when my fiance is craving a pizza, we usually end up there :). It's a tiny nice pizzeria, no tables inside. Together with that, they serve variety of food: different pizzas (from thin crust to Chicago deep dish), sandwiches, burgers, pastas, salads and chicken wings! Their staff is always friendly and quick. We usually come at night around 9-10pm to pick up a slice of a house special pizza with sausage, pepperoni, bacon and jalapenos. Unfortunately, they do not sell veggie slices at that time. But always happy to reheat or create a new house special pizza if you want it supper hot! read more

We came twice in two weeks. First time we got the Sunday special of a full slab of ribs with fries and an order of lasagna for three people. The lasagna was so good - cheesy and stacked high. I will definitely get the lasagna again! The ribs were also very good. Good amount of sauce, and fell off the bone. A week later we came in for the largest supreme pizza. The crust is so cripsy yet fluffy and the ingredients combo was great. Definitely one of the best thin crust pizzas. Service the second time around wasn't so good though. We placed our order a half hour ahead, and when we came in they said it'd be right out. "Right out" turned into 10 minutes, then another 15 minutes, then another 10 minutes.... aka they forgot to start our pizza and we waited an extra 30 minutes. They didn't admit it or apologize. That's poor customer service for sure, but I will be nice and cut them some slack and come back again. If it goes poorly once more, then I'll be on a hunt for a new pizza place. read more

I placed an order online. It was a huge pizza with lots of toppings so it was expensive. I accidentally ordered it with barbecue sauce. Even though it was my fault they replaced the pizza at no cost!! That is good customer service! Not to mention it's amazing pizza! read more

This place is a little out of the way for me but it is totally worth the drive!!! We've ordered pizza there a few times but today I stopped and grabbed a special slice (sausage pepperoni bacon and jalapeno) and a liter of pop. It was amazing! It was so filling and so delicious and only $5.25!?!? Check this place out if you are in the area. The staff is super friendly and the food is the best in the area! read more

Great slice and liter of soda for $4. Can't beat the pizza or the price! read more

Their quality of their pizza is sooooooooo inconsistent. Sometimes it is really good and sometimes it is no better than frozen pizza. The biggest problem is that they can't get the pickup time correct. I ordered a pizza today and I was told that it would be ready in 30 minutes. I picked up the pizza in 30 minutes and it was cold, not even warm, COLD! I'll give them one more chance. read more

Fantastic pizza! Just simply fantastic! I'd recommend this pizza to anyone. They're pepperoni is spicy and adds a whole 'nother dimension of amazing flavor. The only reason I give it 4 stars is due to their pricing. It's ridiculously expensive. Last time I paid $29+ for 20" 1-topping. You need to use your coupons here. read more

I'm a big fan of great pizza places and this one definitely is one of them. We had 14 people over for lunch today after our Easter egg hunt. We are kind of new to the area and usually hit up Rosatias. Well they weren't open at lunch on Sunday. Their loss... we ordered from Vinny's based upon the previous Yelp reviews. This place is in my top 3 favorite places to eat a good pizza. We had 2 cheese, one pepperoni, one sausage, one Hawaiian and lastly one bbq chicken. All of our guests really enjoyed their pizza. Vinny's will be my new go to pizza place Thanks for making such a great pizza. We will definitely be ordering from Vinny's from now on. read more

I love vini's I can't believe I went through high school only going to napoli's. I usually get the pizza by the slice, a huge piece and a liter of pop for 4 bucks. The pizza has the right amount of sauce cheese and bread, unlike Napoli's where the bread overpowers everything I haven't tried the specials but I plan on trying some! read more

My fiancé and I just relocated to the Chicago area from Florida and have been looking for a good takeout pizza joint. Since Vini's is close to our home and we pass it pretty often we thought we would give it a shot. When I called to place our order the gentleman on the phone was very friendly and helpful. When I explained that this was our first time trying Vini's he recommended asking the cashier to use the coupons on the box towards this purchase. When we picked up our pizza we did exactly what he suggested and the cashier was more than happy to do so. We decided to try their 16" regular crust with pepperoni, sausage and anchovies (just on one side as I am not an anchovy lover). Their regular crust is a thin crust which is not usually my first choice in terms of pizza crust. I gravitate towards a thicker crust although I have to admit that Vini's was very flavorful and I actually didn't miss the extra dough. All the ingredients were very good including the sausage and cheese. The thick layer of cheese on our pizza really made it stand out from the other ingredients. All in all we both really enjoyed it and will definitely be returning to try some other items on their menu. read more

Is it Wayne's (Arlington Heights) or Vini's? I can't choose, but one is the best pizza purveyor in the Northwest 'Burbs. Wayne's does better pan, Vini's "slicer" thick crust goes unchallenged, however. Note: Vini's uses raw fresh jalapenos on its pies, which can make for a pretty hot slice. I recommend an extra-large slicer and enjoying the leftovers for breakfast. read more

Don't sleep on this local joint. Most people come for the slice and soda which is a great lunch option, no doubt. However, I recently branched out and ordered the chicken parmesan and was 100% satisfied with both the price and the product. Really friendly folks behind the counter as well! read more

Very impressed w the service in this place. Super nice and fun group of people working there. Got a sandwich to go but watched the employees bring out the food to their waiting customers in the parking lot during COVOD times. Tip them well. read more

One bite just like the saying goes was all it took. Pizza was cold, crust was floppy and kinda soggy, too much sauce and didnt care for the sauce taste like ragu. Used to be the spot for a good slice but feels like they dont give a shit now. read more

This place is incredible!!! We are completely hooked on their pizza. The crust is the perfect thickness on their thin crust and its just the right amount of sauce w/ a little kick. The ingredients are always fresh. And it's delivered hot!! We recently discovered the Bubba Beef sandwich. Hands down the best beef around here!! Its unbelievable how good their beef is delivered. The bread is perfectly dipped, theres a generous amount of beef and its covered in cheese. It melts in your mouth. Everything we have tried at Vini's is fantatstic!! Definitely above average in every aspect. The service in so friendly from the person taking the order to the delivery person. We've never had a problem. Our orders are accurate and hot. Vini's is our #1 go to for delivery, delish pizza & incredible beef sandwiches!!! You won't be disappointed. read more
