Great pizza. Cheesteak pizza is my favorite. Friendly and fast service. Easy on off parkway exits on the way to Atlantic City. read more

Vinnie's Italian Restaurant - Cheesesteak pizza and sausage pizza - Italian Near Me - Barnegat, New Jersey

Excellent food, great service. We had a party of 6 and everyone loved their entree. Good prices too. Highly recommendk

Service is the worst . Ordered a appetizer-very long wait-we were only ones that were there . Terrible waitress ( very nice - totally unskilled as a waitress) she put the appetizer on the table started walking away,we had to stop her and ask for dishes, we had asked for bread upfront that didn't come either- long wait again we try to keep eating really slow because we would've been done by the time we got bread - We were almost done & really losing interest in the appetizer .finally got dishes but no bread though - we had asked for this upfront/she finally....brought it , but no butter, entire experience was terrible. Antipasto was pretty flimsy too.Pizza was terrible not cooked - runny - picked up a slice everything fell off it, we are done with.Vinnie's for good ! read more

If you're looking for the best pizza in the area, let me save you the trouble: Vinnie's is it. I've tried pretty much every slice around, and nothing hits quite like theirs. The crust? Perfectly crisp with that soft chew in the center. The sauce? Flavorful without being overly sweet. And the cheese... let's just say they don't skimp. Ever. What I love most is the consistency -- every visit, every order, every slice is reliably delicious. No guessing, no disappointment, just straight-up excellent pizza. It's the kind of place that reminds you why "simple done right" will always win. Vinnie's is a staple for us and absolutely worth the stop whether you're grabbing a quick slice or taking home a whole pie. read more

Can only speak for a great take away pepperoni & sausage pizza, eaten in front of the television with the Yankees on in post season. Great pizza, not overly doughy and better with grated Parmesan and a Ship Bottom beer on the side. Even the crust was a delight and delicious. This is a go to Italian style pizza here in Barnegat read more

Vinnie's Italian Restaurant - Sausage pepperoni to go... - Italian Near Me - Barnegat, New Jersey

Absolutely terrible experience. Not only was the food awful but the service was worse than awful from the moment we walked in. Staff was rude, inattentive, and acted like helping customers was an inconvenience. We waited forever for basic service, had to ask multiple times for things that should've been handled immediately, and still got attitude in return. Completely unprofessional and honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Save your time, money, and frustration and go literally anywhere else. read more

This was the first time I tried this restaurant. I had a great experience here. Our server and counter person were extremely helpful and friendly. My family ate pizza salads and subs it all was delicious. A plus plus for food ,service and cleanliness. The next time I come back to NJ from NYC this will be my go too read more

We had a wonderful meal at Vinnie's Pizzeria, in Barnegat. We have eaten there many times in the past, and were looking forward to a casual dinner. Our server, Kyra, was obviously new but extremely attentive and pleasant. The food (Chicken Parm and Chicken Marsala) were fantastic, and a huge serving. Chicken was tender and the cheese was so fresh. We may have to start making this a regular option again!! read more

We ordered 4 meals for delivery. Took an 1hour 20 minutes which is fine for a Friday but, they forgot my daughter's cold sub, ok stuff happens. Then the Driver asks to be paid in full as he would come right back with the sub. (Shouldn't have done it and gave a $15 tip but they are 7 minutes away at best.) This should have been 15 minutes maximum. We called 2X and were told both times he left and should be here any minute but it took another 30 minutes from the last call. They just got here 45 minutes later. When driver returned no remorse just "sorry man". They didn't offer a discount or even a future discount. Make a better choice and Support local and go to Joeys in Stafford instead, the food and service is much better. read more

We have been coming to this place for over 35yrs. They have great slices and such a great variety. The cheesesteak was spot on and the buffalo the same. read more

I've eaten inside the restaurant as well as ordered takeout/delivery, and I have enjoyed it each time. I've only tried plain, Sicilian, and buffalo chicken, but all of them were delicious. Since most customers order takeout or delivery, the inside of the restaurant is a quiet and relaxing environment. If you're looking for a good pizza place, this would be in my top three. read more

Vinnie's is located in a strip mall in Barnegat. What sets this place apart from the other pizzerias in the area is the cleanliness and moderate prices they have, especially in the dinners they serve. I stopped in for lunch and had two slices of pie and a soft drink. Plain slices are $1.75, not the usual $2-2.50 per. And they're excellent, not limp and just enough salt. I don't know whether the owner is new but they seem to have it "together", as opposed to some of the other negative reviews that I have seen recently. read more

Im very fussy about my veal, my 1st veal order here so i just got the veal & pepper sandwich, it was spot on, veal sliced perfect and tender as any 5 star rest. I will be going back for the veal dinners . Other items also good, pies, sandwiches..staff always polite & friendly. Keep up the good work read more

When we moved to Barnegat in the 80's, it was a one-light town with only a couple of Pizzarias. We went to Vinnies Pizza. Their thin-crust pie and the sausage and black olive pie were to die for. Fast forward to the present day. Vinnie's owner/operator has now retired and a new firm has taken over. With the new regime comes changes in food, service, and overall quality. With that said I am sorry to report that last night we ordered two pies, a margarita, and a plain. When I got home and opened the pies I was flabbergasted by what I saw. The Margarita pie was haphazardly thrown together with what looked like American chees slices (see photo) what we think was basil or possibly kale, no seasoning, no other cheese other than a very thin sliced American cheese, and the sauce was without taste, possibly canned soup??? It was absolutely horrible. The plain pie was equally bad. Although the cheese was melted perfectly, the sauce and gummy crust was not good at all. Do I recommend Vinnies? Well we have never had a bad experience there, I just hope this was a fluke, if not, we will be going to Joey's read more

Vinnie's Italian Restaurant - a pizza in a box - Italian Near Me - Barnegat, New Jersey

We dined in. Service is good and friendly. The small Calzone is huge and very good... great for leftovers. The Pasta Fazool is best I've ever had!!! The Baked Ziti Sicilian is delicious however it had an excessive amount of cheese on top. I typically wouldn't complain about a lot of cheese... who doesn't love cheese?! In this case, it overpowered the whole dish and each bite was mostly cheese! Overall, really good meal. I was already craving that Pasta Fazool with their crispy, warm bread the next day! read more

Stafford diner n vinnies restaurant our my top around here without a doubt when it comes to take out food with high expectations!!! Can't wait to leave more good reviews like this read more

Everything on the menu is superb! Never had a bad meal. I'm on a quest to try all their specialty pizzas! Friendly staff, great pies, and close to home. My family and I are glad to call Vinnie's our hometown go-to pizza joint. read more

Awesome customer service. Guy seemed like a really good dude. Walked in after witnessing some nasty stuff at a neighboring pizzeria and they absolutely took care of me to make up for what I experienced. Pizza was really good too. A lot of places can't even make a plain slice right, theirs was real NJ quality. Seems like the other food is great too. Thanks guys! I'll be back! read more

We moved to Barnegat in 2006 and went to Vinnies. It was the worst meal we've ever had. Oily pizza, greasy fries, service was terrible. Fast forward, we went to Vinnies about two weeks ago because we heard that there were new owners. Food was great, service was outstanding. It was a very good experience, so we decided to go yesterday, and the magic continues. I know there are a lot of pizzerias in Barnegat, this one is now in the top tier. Ask for Emily or Cat as your servers. read more

With a lot of competing pizzerias in the neighborhood, I can say Vinny's is one of the best quality and best priced Italian food/pizza in Barnegat/Manahawkin. My family personally takes their pizza very seriously and I take my California cheesesteaks very seriously as well, and this place never disappoints. their cheesesteak especially is worth every penny, ditched Jersey Mike's ever since! The staff is also very friendly even when very busy read more

This is our 1st time there with the new owners. From the person who answers the phone to the person at the counter to the cook and the other employees they are all super nice. You are greeted as soon as you walk in the door and every other employee who sees you gives you a greeting. I'm only giving 4 stars because the only thing I've had so far was the pizza which was very good I'm looking forward to going back and getting some dinners I will update Hey after I do that. read more

Great NY style pizza at a very reasonable price - we tried their cheese and pepperoni slices. The crust is thin and chewy which allows the slice to be folded over, if that's your style. A little bit oily, but still a great slice. The salad pizza is also good - they have lots of fresh salad veggies on the slice, and I was glad the crust didn't get soggy at all. read more

Great family restaurant! Wait staff was friendly. The workers said hello went we waked in. Food was delicious. We had 2 of the specials and they were delicious. Dinner came with salad ( also yummy) and a fresh mini cannoli. Portions were generous. Price was very reasonable. We will be back!! read more

This place years ago use to be amazing! The original owners are far gone... and the people that took over still did a good job. But now I just don't like it at all. read more

Ordered Manicotti, stuffed shells and a side of sausage. The sausage is inedible and does not even taste like Italian sausage. The manicotti was so hard and doughy the cheese was eaten and the pasta left. Stuffed shells were ok. Never again. Pizza only. read more

Kathy and her family and staff are wonderful people. They are friendly and courteous and make great food. Always a good experience

We (me, mom, & sister) went here the day after Thanksgiving after reading good reviews on Yelp. I guess I should have read those 5-star reviews a little more closely, as I now see they were mostly for the pizza. We ordered pasta dishes. Mine was the shrimp and scallops scallopini. It was simply awful, swimming in way too much greasy butter with almost no flavor at all. I managed to eat some of the pasta and the shrimp but the scallops were rubbery and flavorless. I didn't eat the rest because I was concerned about not being able to digest all that buttery grease. Mom complained that her choice had no flavor and my sister couldn't eat much of her plate, either. We all agreed it was some of the worst Italian food we had ever had in any restaurant. When our server showed up and asked if we wanted to take it home, we said no, because it was inedible. She didn't seem to care that much; maybe she has heard this before. Speaking of our server, perhaps because it was the day after Thanksgiving, we were the only patrons in the restaurant, yet we got very little attention from our server once the food was delivered to our table. She was too busy chatting with her co-workers to be bothered to ask us how we were doing or if the food was ok, or refill our olive oil dip for the bread or refill our water glasses, or anything. It could be that their pizza is great, but we will never know, because we won't be back. If it is just pizza we want, there are plenty of other great places to go for that in this area. read more

Food is good! We have only gotten take out delivered and everything is always hot and tasty. Delivery is prompt. The girls that answer the phone are nice. All good. Sicilain is very good as were the garlic knots this time. Tgis was our 3rd time ordering delivery and its been great each time! read more

Great pizza and dinners. Both delicious. New to the area and so glad we found this place

Totally no frills but the staff is the best and the food is very good! We ended up getting out for dinner pretty late and although they were closing soon they couldn't have been nicer to still seat and feed us. We aren't looking for anything fancy - just needed some local food and this was pleasantly surprising. Soups and pizza were both very good. read more

New owners food is fantastic pizza is great try Brooklyn pie cheese steak was so big couldn't even finish half

Great pizza and salads! Love the Susie Salad most of all. I actually brought someone in who was visiting from NOLA to show her what good Jersey pizza tastes like. No surprise that she loved it! read more

I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl. I love that the owner remembers me from back then and now makes a fuss over my little girls. The food is amazing. I swear the best meatballs I've ever had. The quality of food is always incredible. Hands down one of my favorite Italian restaurants. read more

Moved to Barnegat a little over a year ago and just tried Vinny's for the first time. Called and ordered delivery, was immediately put on hold, during my time ordering the person on my phone handed the phone over to someone else to speak with me because they didn't understand my order. Anyway the wait time was 45-1 hour and the pizza came on time about half hour to 40 mins later so that was good, also the prices were not bad either however when we opened the pie it was very soupy and the bottom was mushy, we ordered the pie well done and it didn't come to us well done. The sauce was good and the driver was very nice however we will not be ordering again due to the sloppiness of how the pie was made. read more

honestly, i have ordered here out of convenience. one order was wrong with no salad, no wheat pasta so i called and nicely told them and they were so rude. so, yeah i know, people are short handed and we should just deal. so i order again, penna and vodka pizza turned into a baked ziti pizza. next time i ordered a white pizza with broccoli and sausage. no sausage. i can't be the only one. three orders, wrong three times....and i will not call to have a rude worker tell me to deal. read more

What a great place this is! We love Their slices for lunch and delivery for dinners. Only ate there once for dinner, hey, it's a pizza place! Not great ambiance but food and service were fantastic. We love the family feeling. All the usual Italian favorites and specials. We definitely recommend. read more

I called my order in at 12:20pm. I was told the order would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrive at 12:45pm to be told by the woman working the front that my order was never made. The boy who took my order left the ticket by the phone and NO ONE working there saw the ticket till I arrived. While the invention of POS systems seems to allude this business (as does owning a website) I find that hard to believe that a handwritten ticket was mistakingly left up front and the order not made. I worked in a pizza parlor as a teenager and the concept is not hard- take order down, walk it to the back, have pizza made & put in oven. The boy who took my order was probably the cook or busboy, as he had an accent. I'm very displeased with the service here and will not be returning to this establishment ever again. Time to find another local pizza place! read more
