Just moved into the neighborhood so I had to check this place out. Pretty extensive menu and everything looked and smelled amazing. I opted for the Porchetta with hot fryers and sharp cheese. Best one I've ever had (outside DeNics) Also got a hot roast beef with fresh homemade mootz and au jus- killer! A new favorite spot to keep me from losing weight-lol!

Still as delicious as ever. With their updated menu, this place is a fantastic staple in Lyndhurst. The staff is always so friendly, on the phone and in person. Their sandwiches are to die for. The chicken Milano is a favorite in my house. Chicken cutlet, burrata, creamy Italian dressing - what's not to like? Their Caesar salad with eggplant is delicious. Their pizza - the best I've ever had. Idk what the magic is but the sauce, the dough- yum. Their pretzels are good, their mini strombolis are delish. You just can't go wrong with this place. Love catering their shaped mozzarella for holidays too. Love Vinnie's, I'm glad they've become an established eatery in town.

The place is nice and has a great variety of options. The pizza slices were nice and big, tasted really good. The Mediterranean sangweech (eggplant, roasted peppers, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze) was enormous and so incredibly delicious. Possibly the best eggplant sandwich I've had! We went early in the day so there was no one eating in and it was fast to order and get our food to go. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning!

Third time visiting I got a Prosciutto and Mootz which was not on their menu selection a little odd. I ordered with roasted peppers nothing else. The sandwich came quickly freshly prepared. Good size and for $17 it should have been. However the crust made no sound when you bit the sandwich. The garlic in the roasted peppers overwhelmed the flavor of everything else. . See pic. That destroyed the taste of the sandwich. The cheese is good but it lacks the creaminess found at 5th+Adam

Vinnie's Mootz 356 Valley Brook Avenue Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 More Than Waffles Southern Bell Where's The Beef? The Uncle Phil The Mediterranean I previously posted about this family owned sandwich shop and pizzeria. Each choice was a home run that I had to come back to explore some more. More Than Waffles: This is not your typical chicken and waffles; it is even better. This sandwich version of the southern entrée is layered with breaded cutlets, mootz, bacon and drizzled with hot honey. Be prepared for sticky fingers. Southern Bell: The Southern Bell has two full size cutlets loaded with burrata cream. The chunks of cream kept falling out, which is definitely a good problem. Where's The Beef? You won't need to search very hard to find the protein in this ironically named sandwich. A larger sized soup bowl is also included which will you need to dip this enormous sandwich in the au jus. The Uncle Phil: Here is a perfect variation of the classic steak pizzaiola dish. The tender chuck steak was smothered in red sauce; a divine combination. The Mediterranean: If are not a fan of eggplant heroes, this sandwich will change your mind in a heartbeat. In addition to being generously piled with breaded eggplant, the hoagie was sprinkled with hot, roasted peppers for that spicy kick! As a bonus, this spot also has an Italian market where you can purchase top quality cooking ingredients for superb Italian meals. As another bonus, students are eligible to purchase selected lunch specials on weekdays. Be sure to ring the bell if this is your first time exploring Vinnie's Mootz! Between excellent food and friendly service, I can virtually guarantee there will definitely be a next time. #vinniesmootz #mootz #lyndhurstnj #sandwichshop #morethanwaffles #southernbell #wheresthebeef #theunclephil #themediterranean #localspots #familyownedbusiness #eats #foodstagram #localspot #foodreview #njfoo

Vinnie's Mootz in Lyndhurst, NJ. Come get "moozted" with me at Vinnie's Mootz. Fresh Mozzarella & Burrata are made daily here and the food is delicious! Vinnie is the owner and he's the best! He shared with us that it all started with making pizza and now he has his own pizza/mutz shop! The pizza was light but flavorful. The mutz was so fresh and I just love it piled on alll the sandwhiches. You gotta check it out! Insta: @thehungrysw

Have to assume that everyone already knows this is the best place to stock up for a MetLife tailgate but figured I would mention it. My daughter and I were headed to a concert and of course I turned that into an excuse to check Yelp. A place that features incredible store made mozzarella and includes it in the name seemed like a no brainer. Women working behind the counter were friendly and professional, even with half an hour remaining until closing time. Every sandwich on their menu looks incredible and I was tempted by the pork, broccoli rabe, and provolone but as a first timer, I needed to try the "mootz". Went with chicken cutlet, mozzarella, arugula, roasted peppers, and balsamic glaze. A classic for a reason. My daughter went with the chicken Parmesan hero. They had a lot of other nice options, including some nice looking pizza for future visits. We unveiled the sandwiches a bit later and they remained perfect, absolutely loved their mozzarella, chicken, bread and all of the flavors. I finished my sizable hero plus half of my daughter's hero. Not the best idea from a dietary standpoint but I wasn't wasting any delicious goodness! The locals are definitely lucky to have Vinnie's Mootz!

What a great establishment located in the town of Lyndhurst. Service is great even though it's been extremely busy the two times I've been there. It has a very welcoming vibe. Stopped by after hearing a lot of great things about their sandwiches and their mozzarella. I was NOT ready for how good everything here was going to be. Mozzarella: very light with amazing flavor and texture. Melt in your mouth and I imagine it will pair perfectly with whatever you eat it with... I can see why people always walk out with at least one ball of mozzarella The Lyndhurst sandwich (chicken cutlet, prosciutto, mozzarella): great combination and, to nobody's surprise, the mozzarella really ties the sandwich together Where's the meat sandwich (roast beef, mozzarella and au jus): Perfect combo. Amazing amount of roast beef complimented by the mozzarella all tied together with the au jus. Pepperoni square slice: the dough is so airy and so crunchy. Their cupped pepperonis is extremely flavorful and their tomato sauce is nice and light. Great slice and would highly recommend asking for a corner slice Vodka square slice: their vodka sauce is AMAZING. Highly recommend

It is very very very very RARE to go to a restaurant on visits and try basically everything and EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS. It's hard to pick my favorite menu item because all of it is literally top tier. I have walked in as well as ordered Grub Hub and it is very refreshing to have this place here in Lyndhurst. I am not a big foodie, but this place deserves my review. The customer service is top tier and the food is top tier. Their food and customer service is off the charts. You will not regret ordering or visiting this place. I have tried 70% of the menu items and they're all top tier. This is my new go-to spot in the area of Lyndhurst.

I've been to Vinnie's Mootz a couple of times in the past and have always been blown away by the Fresh Mootz and their sandwiches. I have always heard about the pizza, but never tried it and decided today was the day. I stopped by and looked in to the pizza display case and noticed there was no cheese/margherita pizza. I asked but was told unfortunately there is none, but if I'd like they have a great clam pie with roasted garlic. It wasn't quite what I was craving, but, it looked fresh and I am a sucker for roasted garlic so I ordered it. As I was waiting for my clam slice to warm up, I asked if there was any fresh cheese coming out and the young man hesitated at first, but then told me if I'm willing to wait 15 minutes for me, he'd make it. I LOVE THAT!! It is so important to go above and beyond and having that awareness and being able to add those little personal touches is what sets this establishment apart from the next one. My clam slice was warmed up and handed to me, and it was good, but needed a little more oomph! I suggest a roasted garlic spread/base under the cheese, topped with clam sauce and a drizzle of olive oil, red pepper flakes, and parsley at the end to round out the flavors. Maybe even a sprinkle of lemon zest! Shortly thereafter, the young man asked me what I thought of the clam slice and I gave him my honest feedback. He was genuinely interested and said it was the first time they've ever made it. His humbleness was incredibly apparent and once again, that sort of demeanor is so refreshing. The cheese pie came out and he came from around the counter to hand me my box, thanked me, and wished me a nice weekend! All of this seems so simple doesn't it? I'm a veteran of the pizza and food business with over 25 years of experience and what I can tell you is, that service like this, is actually pretty rare. I know from my prior visits that this young man is Matteo, the owners son, and to me, that makes this experience 10x better. Why, you may ask? The fact that the owners son is this hospitable, earnest, down to earth, caring, and polite is really an anomaly. I have always been brought back by the food, but I am now additionally going to be brought back due to the customer service. In this business, it's the little details that make the experience and the guest return and give word of mouth which is more valuable than influencers. Matteo, thank you for your recommendation, and for making my simple transaction of 3 slices not only delicious but a memorable one too!

First time ordering from here and it was SO GOOD. The drunken eggplant parm was insanely tasty - eggplant sliced thin and breaded perfectly topped with flavorful vodka sauce, but that mootz was by far the star of the show tying it all together. Great portion and absolutely delicious. My only complaint is I wish I had more! I also tried the Lyndhurst which was very good although I wish the cutlet was hot. We added garlic mayo and while it was tasty the huge chunks of garlic were a bit much. All in all, I will absolutely order from here again. Delicious!
