Delicious pizza by the slice. Lots of options. Especially love the buffalo ranch chicken. Open late as well, and does not close at 9 on Saturdays as it says on Yelp. read more

Good pizza at a great price! The Tomato Basil slice was delicious! Recommend for a quick lunch.

Best food, open late, such good service. Always kind even when you are ordering drunk. I always get the buffalo chicken ranch slice, it's massive so you really only need to order one slice. They heat it up in their oven for a minute or so and serve it up, and it hits every time. read more

Gross..tasted like the pizza was cooked, cooled, reheated the baked again then put in a box.. Not very flavorful, luckly I did not order pizza with meat. My friend got the pepperoni, greasy as hell and 6 hours later he was toilet bound and spent a while dealing with it. He love pizza I can care less. Pizza in champaign/urbana sucks...but this was a whole new level of nasty.. Place had workers, kids, others in the kitchen area, kid digging up her nose and all of them just hanging out. No place to eat in the place so we ate in the car..no matter afyer 2 bites I was done and in disgust.. Even though I got the daily special there was nothing special about it. Tasted like last weeks reheated leftovers... Man for a first impression there will be no return for me..even if it is free read more

Loved their huge sliced pizza's! However it is a tad bit dry still very good & fu instead of having to cook haha!

My wife and I had supper here a few weeks ago. On the whole, we enjoyed our meal and will eat there again. My wife had the Caesar salad (mixed romaine and other lettuce (?), good dressing a bit heavy on the mustard, and lots of croutons). She liked it. I'm a bit more particular (some might say peculiar) about my Caesar salads. We had the tomato basil mozzarella pizza with onions and sausage. The sauce was a bit on the strong side. Overall, it had good flavor, and a very nice crisp and chewy crust. But why was it not steaming hot from the oven? Was it sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting to be served to us? The place was practically empty, though they seemed to be doing a fair amount of take-out and delivery business. I ordered the meatball appetizer to go (for a lunch sandwich later in the week), which turned out to be a really good choice. Fountain drink refills are 50 cents. read more

Best pizza in Champaign. If anyone else has lived here long enough, you would know that this place is basically Antonios 2.0. I'm from New York and I can say without a doubt it is the closest thing to back home. I also love all the fun options and different types they make. Your going to love it! read more

I ordered through grubhub and got fettucini alfredo in a kids size. my order came with noodles with barely any fettucini and mostly oil. they said it was because i got a kids size (nowhere on the menu does it say the kids size comes with NO sauce.). vinny's refused to refund or send a replacement. terrible customer service, bad business practice. attaching a picture of what they advertised on grubhub vs. what i got. read more

Pretty bad pizza, especially with a couple competitors around. Just looking for a decent late night snack option, but dominos is significantly better. read more

Ordered food last night. Vinnys pizza did not follow directions on my wings. (I requested them to be naked 2x on my order. And my pizza was burnt. I didn't even eat it. I called the restaurant today, I would like my money back or for them to re attempt my food. I still have the messed up food in my refrigerator. I am waiting for a manager to call me back. Manager has not returned call. S/O to grub hub. For calling The restaurant as well, restaurant replied that my food had no problems when it left their location. Grub hub saw pictures of my food, and reimbursed me. Thank you grub hub for the excellent customer service!!!! read more

I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and eight hot BBQ wings for takeout. The customer service was poor and this place is a little expensive, but since my expectations of Champaign restaurants are very low at this point, I was happy to get the correct order the first time. The thin crust pizza was delicious. After enjoying so much deep dish pizza over the last year and a half, this was a nice change. Between Vinny's and Papa Del's, with Giordano's coming soon, Chambana has some great options for pizza lovers. The wings were fine, but I would stick with the pizza here. read more

Ordered delivery on a quiet Sunday evening. I used GrubHub which was convenient and easy. The order was delivered promptly in 45 minutes and was exactly what we ordered, so no issues there. We ordered a large (14'') pizza with sausage and green peppers. I was a little put off by the added cost of the toppings. The sausage cost $2.50 and the green pepper also cost $2.50. If I were to add only a couple more toppings, the cost of our pizza would have been $10 in toppings alone, which seems odd. Our pizza still cost $23 not including tip. It was enough food for the two of us but by no means a good value or deal. I'm usually one to use coupons but there were none to be found on GrubHub or in my mail. The pizza itself wasn't bad. Vinny's does make a pretty textbook east-coast style 'za. Thin, soft crust that you have to fold to eat properly. It was perhaps a little greasy and in my opinion lacking sauce. The amount of sausage seemed a little skimpy, and the sausage they used didn't seem that great. I could hardly taste them because they were so small. In my experience, good sausage adds an entire complex of flavor to a pizza, this didn't really do that and some slices had only a couple pieces on them. I just thought it was a little underwhelming for an over $23 2-topping, 14'' pizza. Back home, I can get a bigger, thicker pizza with higher-quality ingredients at a comparable price. In my opinion Antonio's is the best place around C-U for East coast style pizza. I would try again with a coupon or deal. read more

Vinny's pizza is good. I would definitely say it's better then most in the Champaign-Urbana area, especially if you are looking for a New York Style pizza. They always seem to be offering great deals as well. The staff is always super attentive to make sure you are getting the best deal possible as well. I went in once to order a large pizza to go, and the staff said that on this particular day, we could get an extra large pizza for the same price. Score. Another day we were able to score two large pizzas for the price of one. It seems Vinny's holds really awesome deals like this on every day of the week (A different deal each day) so it's definitely worth checking out just because of some of the awesome deals they have on food. I will definitely be eating here again. It may not be extremely good pizza, but its good pizza and definitely makes my stomach happy. read more

Vinny's just keeps getting better. On my first visit I was pleased, but thought that the cheese pizza I had wasn't quite as light or crisp as I liked. But every te I've gone back it's gotten better. Tonight I had a pepperoni pizza that had a perfectly thin, crisp and chewy crust. @Nanette the variety on the menu is what I'd expect from Phila. area pizza joints. I've also tried the Chicken Parm sandwich, which was OK mainly because the rolls. If they'd import some good Amaroso rolls like Fat Sandwich does it would be perfect. read more

Vinny's describes themselves as an East Coast Pizzeria, and that's an apt description. They have lots of fold over New York style slices with gourmet styling. I really do think their pizza is pretty good. Lots of interesting options. The slices are huge, but good luck having enough of your favorite fountain beverage to wash it down. Sadly, you see, their large drink is 20 ounces (hello 1970s McDonalds!) with no refills included for $1.75. If you do want a refill, they'll charge you an additional $0.75. If you have need of more than the requisite 20 oz drink, you might consider bringing your own. read more

The Good: -We ordered a 14" thin crust cheese pizza with roma tomatoes and fresh basil. It was really good! However, the thin crust wasn't quite sturdy enough to hold the two toppings we had, but it was delicious. -The delivery was pretty quick, only about 45 minutes (with bad driving weather)! The Meh: -We also got an order of garlic knot. They were okay, not bad at all, but just okay. The Bad: -Nothing. Overall, the basil and tomatoes were obvious fresh and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from them. read more

NY pizza I can drive to and GO THROUGH A DRIVE THRU without exiting my car. Sinful. Delicious. I can't comment on the wings or other items as I've only had the pizza. Love love love this place! read more

We ordered 2 pizzas delivery. The pizzas were bland, flavorless, and tasted more of the cardboard box then anything else. It was, quite possibly, the WORST pizza I have ever had.... Frozen pizza is better! Don't waste your money! read more

Vinny's By The Slice & More - Pizza Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Vinny's has a creative, diverse menu that is a great value. They have a new free membership incentive, where you can get discounts and good deals. I know there's one special when you can get a 12" pizza for $2.50! The calzones are amazing; I also enjoy just plain cheese pizza, too. The owner is extremely friendly- the other night we were waiting for our order and we talked with him the whole time. Beware of the strange parking lot! Oh, and to Thomas. B- the owner is not Italian, he's Egyptian. read more

This place specializes in reheated pizza. They have a sign now that says all pizza they serve has been made within the last two hours. But, I ate their one evening, and sat there for 2 hours. During that entire time, they only remade one of the 6 half-pizzas that were sitting out. If you ask what is fresh, they always tell you that everything is fresh. My next question is what do they have that doesn't need to be reheated in a microwave or toaster oven. They usually suggest something, but then tell me that it needs another "5 minutes" before it is ready. The place is a joke. If you want real NY style pizza, you are in the wrong town. I'm giving them a second star only because I know of no other NY style pizza places in town. read more

This is the best Pizza I have had since high school! Giant slices, super thin and chewy, not the hard crunchy nonsense everywhere else in town gives you! read more

Best white pizza in town! Other pizza is great, too. The crust is what pizza is SUPPOSED to taste like, not oily bread like other places in town. read more

I was so excited to try a new place that might have real New York style pizza. I get here and the place is either closed for renovations or it's just closed! It would be nice to have that information available on Yelp read more

People who say they are from NY/NJ and thus have the be-all-end-all on pizza should never be taken seriously about anything. Especially people who volunteer the information about being from New Jersey. Ugh. New Yorkers, they have an inflated sense of self importance and they let their ridiculous home town pride get the best of them. Anyway, the pizza. I love it. I have never had a bad slice. Whenever my wife asks where I want to get dinner from, Vinnys is on my list. Really, every time. I'm about to get some calzones right now. Best in town, hands down. For the record I'm from the East Coast, but not from New York or Jersey. Most of the East Coast couldn't care less about NY and NJ. read more

This is as close as you'll get to New York pizza in the area. The crust is crusty on the bottom and chewy inside. It even has that trademark slightly brown burn that gives the bread its flavor. I crave this pizza. read more

Great pizza! One of my newly favorite crusts. Perfect toppings, and great delivery!

It was awful! Cold pizza, the wings were not good either and it was $39 for a large one topping, two liter of soda and 8 wings, so pricey as well. I ordered it at 4:45 and it was delivered at 6:19. I will not spend money here again! read more

For Vinny's, a haiku: I adore Vinny's. Yummy, cheesy pizza slice. Now let's have Jarling's. My friends and I go to Vinny's for a group lunch just about every other Friday. The staff is FANTASTIC - always friendly, easy to chat with, fast and accurate. The restaurant is kept clean, napkins stocked, etc. We usually have 6-8 people, and there's almost always ample seating for the entire group. Pizza by the slice is a great deal, as the slices are huuuge and delicious. The plain cheese slice is a basic done right, and I adore the chicken-bacon-ranch monstrosity available on Fridays. They now offer certain slices with the Sicilian-style crust, which is great if you like fluffy-crust pizza. I would rather have their NY-style - a perfect level of crispness. Mmmm. Vinny's also has sliders, sandwiches and salads, but these seem to take slightly longer than pizza by the slice. The prices are certainly reasonable, as well: four slices and a drink (two slices per person) comes to $12 and change. read more

I like this place a lot. The pizza is solid and the guys who work here are really nice. The prices are also very reasonable. The guy who said there's an "anti-gringo" vibe is either delusional or racist himself, and the guy who hung out in the place for two hours to check on whether they threw out everything they didn't sell.. well I'm just kind of concerned about him. Anyway, do we really need businesses to throw out 5 pizzas for no good reason in a country that already throws away half of its food? read more

This place is a solid choice for thin crust pizza. Fresh, lots of toppings to choose from. Wings were solid too. Definitely a good value for their pizza slices. I'll definitely be back. read more

Because I've just gone on lunch break so far, I've stuck to pizza by the slice, and its great. Some of my favorite so far in this area. Nice simple, clean, fresh flavors, and when you bite into the crispness of the crust, you get a nice roasty, wheaty aroma. One oddity was that I think they put some of the toppings, like basil, on after the pizza is baked, which I haven't seen before. It does work out well, since some toppings do burn pretty easily, and it is kind of an interesting contrast having both fresh and baked flavors together, but I'm not sure I'm a convert. The staff has been pretty good; they seem happy. read more

The pizza was terrible. One of the worst slices of pizza I have ever had (and I basically love all pizza). It was horribly bland (bland and tasteless sauce, cheese, and crust), cold, and hard to chew. Everything about the pizza was off. It was basically like chewing cardboard. Much better getting pizza at Dominos or any other pizza place on Green Street. read more

We just had this delivered last night. I thought the pizza was great and I loved the Arugula salad. I would suggest skipping the garlic bread, though, at least for delivery. It didn't make the trip very well. The woman who took my order was very nice. The delivery came fast, and the delivery guy was very nice. I liked a lot, Vinny's and Amano's are now my two favorites in town! read more

They really came off as racist the last time I was there. The pizza had to have been there for a very long time. My past visits had been great but the anti gringo vibe I got will stop me from giving them a second chance. read more

We've ordered delivery from Vinny's a few times and it's always been pretty good. Their thin crust pizza is maybe the best around and the calzones are good too, especially with the ricotta cheese. Delivery is prompt and the food's hot, though we don't live too far away. The barbecue chicken and bacon pizza is surprisingly attractive, a well-done variation on the theme. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. They have great pizza by the slice, but they also have salads, sandwiches, calzones, I think wings, and other stuff that I haven't even tried yet! I just can't tear myself away from the pizza. :-) You can also get whole pizzas of course but 1 or 2 of the big slices can be enough. Some of the best pizza in town is here and it is a refreshing departure from the super thick crust Chicago style pizza that every single other place in IL seems to promote exclusively. Pizza can be thin, guys! Ever been to Italy? :-) Definitely worth a visit. read more

Spoke too soon. Had another calzone there and it was awful. Obvious canned mushrooms, bland taste, etc. The "Sicilian" cheese pizza was also terrible. Big on dough and short on toppings. Not like the Sicilian pizza from where? Say it with me: The East Coast. East Coast Pizza?? Where on the east coast? Florida? I marvel at how many pizza and sandwich places claim to be "East Coast." I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (thank heaven) and experienced Brooklyn pizza or East Coast pizza. This isn't it. Don't get me wrong, this isn't bad pizza and the calzones are quite good, but when a business makes claims to being "East Coast," it sets the bar higher. The crust on this was good and the toppings decent if taken simply as midwest pizza. Hey, I'm not being snobbish about Brooklyn pizza. Brooklyn can't make BBQ like Texas or Kansas City or make a Muffaletta like New Orleans or crab cakes like on the Chesapeake. But they can make an awesome pizza. The closest I came to New York pizza here in C-U was Antonios before it mysteriously closed down. Vinny's is pretty good pizza, so give it a try, but don't for a moment think that this is East Coast pizza if the implication is New York style. Take it from The Godfather. read more

I've only had the calzones, but I've liked them well enough to eat there twice in two weeks, so that says something. The menu is extensive (I wonder if they're trying to do too much) and you can buy pizza by the slice, which makes this a viable option for lunch. They still seem to be having some growing pains, so service can be slow, but the folks who work there are very pleasant and friendly. The only thing that's missing, IMO, is garlic knots--they are something that I always think of when I think "east coast pizza," and I can't get them anywhere in Champaign. read more

This quickly became my boyfriend & my favorite spot for pizza delivery! Every time we feel lame for ordering from the same place constantly and try a new spot, we are disappointed and swear all over again to stick to Vinny's pizza! We have also experimented with their Greek salad, Philly cheesesteak, calzones, mozzarella sticks, & garlic knots. All of which were so good! I highly recommend you check this place out. Yum! Also, I feel like I have to address the bad reviews... I've never felt discriminated against when I've eaten in and the pizza is sometimes so fresh that it's too hot to eat even when delivered in the middle of this negative degree weather! These people should really give Vinny's another shot! read more
