I'm gonna bring down my review a little bit. I had a pizza and the Caesar salad. Caesar salad salad was real good, but it was a little light on the chicken even though the chicken was excellent. The pizza was good, but it was overcooked. The bread was real good. I've heard nothing but spectacular things, but I wasn't as amazed with the food as everybody built it up to be. It's good and I'll certainly go back. But I think it could be a little bit better. read more

Seriously, AMAZING. Our server was kind, energetic, so knowledgeable about the menu options and recommended this beautiful Cannelloni dish that was to die for - I am so glad I asked what her favorite meal was. I paired it with a Chardonnay, perfect compliment. I loved the view of the kitchen, albeit I can be a bit critical especially after watching them directly from our table... the kitchen staff had their cell phones in their hands while wearing gloves, the cook had earbuds in and no beard net, funny hat but a bit unprofessional - just some health code issues there, but the food and service was so outstanding. read more

The appetizer was great never tried fried ravioli which i think it was but it was great so was the bread. I was expecting better but was just mid and for the price we paid for our food it just wasnt it. There was also a huge party trying to take up the small space that is the restaurant was being pushy on the staff forcing them to rush us out one of them even tried to buy us drinks to get us out faster. I could just see the looks on the servers faces they were stressed from the huge party barging in. Me and my cousin could barely talk to one another it was so small in there it made every conversation amplified. Wish I had a better experience most likely will not be returning here. read more

Food- Tuscan chicken was juicy and flavorful. Baked ravioli was dissatisfying.... no flavor and under cooked. Greek salad and Caesar salad were both fresh. Limoncello chicken wings were crispy and bursting with lemon flavor. Excellent appetizer. Service- friendly and attentive Ambiance- downtown vibes Overall good food and would recommend. Next time I will try something different. read more

Went on a road trip with my mom to the UP and stopped in Bay City for a night. Vinny's was such a quaint and cute place. The food was great. Mom and I both enjoyed the experience here. The ice cream next door looked awesome but there was a long line. read more

Very good food for a decent price. Food is always tasty and hot. Ambiance is nice but definitely gets tight during busy times!

Every Pizza is crispy crunchy and awesome! A definite must try! I cannot say enough good things about this spot! The best thing on their menu is their meatball slider. I have never had anything is delicious as that mouthful of goodness that is the meatball slider! The pizzas are solid ... Although I'd say the cheese pizza or margarita pizza gets a little overcooked in the hot oven, but any pizza with delicious toppings is the perfect combo of crunchy crust and yummy goodness. The staff was amazing. The restaurant has a great vibe. We waited outside for the 4 o'clock opening and boy was it worth the wait. My only regret is that I couldn't eat everything on the menu and all one sitting. I'll be back fur more sliders. read more

Flew in from Tampa. I heard this was the best Italian spot in town and unfortunately, although it smelled great they just left us hanging at the door for about 20 minutes and nobody told us anything. Nobody greeted us. We ended up leaving... we will maybe give it to try some other day! read more

Hey Vinny, Just wanting to update you on our experience Thursday night / 6/12/25 Roughly 8:30 pm .... We came in to grab a some dinner and sat at the bar .... completely ignored because your help behind the bar was too busy being in her phone all the while looking up at us and knowing of our arrival. Second girl basically did the same while looking for something and ignored us as well! Such a great place and good ... but wait staff tonight was Extremely Poor! Sometimes certain staff needs to go .... and most definitely No Phones / Messaging etc while they are supposed to be working!!!! read more

Stopped by Vinny's on my way up to Gaylord. Busy on a Friday night, as expected but was able to be seated right away. Service was great, restaurant looked new and clean. Food was good as well. We ordered the Calamari, Wild Mushroom and goat cheese pizza, and Spaghetti. Great pit stop if you're heading up north. Would stop by here again. They also have a dessert place next door for a treat. read more

Vinny's pizzeria was a spectacular place! Very open and a. Little more on the modern side. Visiting my how town of bay city I didn't expect this gem to be hidden in uptown. Right next to an ice cream shop is Vinny's pizzeria. The staff were super nice and helpful, my waiter was very accommodating. My friend stared with the fried mozzarella and I had their calamari. Nothing exceptional. Calamari was crisp, but not over cooked, and their dipping sauce was a lemon style aïoli! There was some leave greens on the plate that I think were a little unnecessary. My friend had the lasagna and it was a huge portion and she said it was amazing! I had their chicken parmigiana, 10/10 would order it again! Crispy chicken, and a HUGE portion of linguine and their pasta sauce. I had at least 2 portions of left overs! Lastly I had their house red, and it was a great glass of wine! The price of all items were perfect for the service and the food quality/quantity! Can't wait to eat here on my next trip home! read more

Everything was great! The limoncello wings are to die for. They blew any wing I've ever had out the park. I'm weird when it comes to meatballs because I don't do the freezer mushy ones. Baaaaby these meatballs on those sliders. I frequent Detroit for good food but this cute little Italian restaurant in bay city STOLE THE SHOW. The service was also great. Get there before they open because they fill up fast! read more

So cute and yummy!! LOVE the drinks here! The cocktails are incentive and super fun, and for $8-9 a drink, super reasonable. They rival the ritzy cocktails you see at big city bars. I'm so so impressed by their use of fun purees, syrups, and herbs. And the BREAD! ugh so yummy! The sauce that comes in the olive oil was addicting! Pizza here was pretty good. We shared the shrimp pesto pizza and the pepperoni and hot honey. My bf and I agreed they were yummy but felt they could've used just a bit more something (the pepperoni- maybe more cheese? The shrimp- a little less sugar? Or maybe a pinch of red sauce to balance the sweetness?) Either way, we will definitely be back for cocktails and to try more pizzas to find whatever our jam is! Highly recommend for everyone! read more

This is a nice restaurant on the river. Summer dining would be awesome. We happened to stop on a cold rainy day in March. The interior is warm and inviting lots of spaces to sit since the outside is enclosed with heaters. It was a busy Saturday evening and I felt the waiter and waitstaff were overwhelmed. Took a few minutes for our table but no silverware or napkins until we received our food. We ordered the toasted ravioli for an appetizer it was very crispy and generously filled with ricotta cheese. We also had the pancetta and arugula pizza it was a delicious pizza but didn't seem to be cut all the way through. I think it's a reasonably priced restaurant and it's worth the stop if you're in Bay City. read more

Godfather pizza was very tasty and perfectly baked. And the Mediterranean salad was amazing. Service was friendly and very attentive.

Food is always spot on! Had the chicken cannelloni. Oh my goodness! Talk about a dish made in heaven! An absolute new favorite! Service is quite timely. The fresh baked bread is endless and delicious! And the ambiance is quite romantic. A very nice place. And to top it all off... there was live music... I guess we were there on the right night... Saturday night. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Visited Vinny's on Mother's Day, the service was Phenomenal (I really wish I would have remembered our name because she certainly does deserve kudos)! The spaghetti and meatballs was very good, the chicken cannelloni was definitely different, but very tasty and the fried mozzarella were amazing!!! it was a very busy day, but even the atmosphere was good. I would definitely recommend Vinny's Pizzeria! read more

Great food. Phenomenal service and bartender! My drink was delicious and glass was never empty!

food. Italian sandwich. two red large pieces of dry bread with dry sliced and beef and they said they had the sauce to dip it in all it was was chicken broth. I even asked to have the bread gutted out or pulled out and that didn't happen either. however, our waitress was fantastic and made up a little bit for the terrible food read more

Vinny does it again! Another creative culinary venture that's already capturing all of Bay City. There's something special about the aroma of pizza cooking while you enjoy a unique cocktail on the patio overlooking the river. Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one of Bay City's newest and best restaurants. I highly recommend the goat cheese and mushroom pizza and social status! read more

I had dinner on the patio last night with a couple of friends from Midland who hadn't tried Vinny's yet. All of us enjoyed a great meal! My friend loved the GF pepperoni and hot honey pizza and my scampi was delicious. The service was great, they gave a generous wine pour and the price is very reasonable for the high quality. We will all be back again! read more

Vinny's is great for service, but my pizza was very sloppily put together. The mozzarella was just in globs, not completely melted. The pineapple was not cut up at all, two pineapple rings cut in half, on a whole pizza. It also tasted a bit sour, like as if there was vinegar or something pickled actually put on it. Big thumbs down on this one. read more

The pizza is fantastic! You can tell the difference in the quality of this dough v. other pizza places in the area. Only one size pizza, so get a few and share, or keep one all to yourself like Kevin McAllister. We ordered the roasted vegetable pizza and it paired very well with the Goldeneye Pinot Noir. The old fashioned is also probably one of the best I have ever had! Kudos to the bartender! Knocked one star off for service. The servers each were going both inside and outside. My personal opinion would be to have the servers sole focus in one area of the restaurant during these tough staffing times. Right next to the Courtyard if you are staying at the hotel! read more

We got the hot honey/pepperoni and the seafood pizza for three of us to share!! We had so much leftover! It was so good! If you like pizza you will love this place!! Staff was super friendly also! read more

My first time going to vinnny's was last week! The pizza was so good and I had 2 different specialty cocktails that were amazing!

Ans thank you Amy for showing me! read more

Enjoyed our evening at Vinny's listening to a very entertaining gentleman at the piano. Our pizza was delicious and the specialty cocktails were a nice complement to our evening. Really enjoyed the special finishing touch the bartenders did when garnishing your drink. Great job! We'll be back for sure! read more

Vinny's has a great atmosphere, food, and drinks. Been here twice for the live entertainment on the weekend and it has been incredible. I believe Cam is the young entertainer who is amazing. Great place to spend a night in Bay City. read more

The pizzas looked good on the website. One looked really good. It was well done the way I like it. I asked for my pizza to be well done. Despite what I saw on the website I was told that they don't do that. They take out the pizza before It burns. I didn't want it burnt just well done. Apparently they don't know the difference. It was $13, I gave him $20 and he asked me if I wanted my change. That was classless. Yes I want my change. I got the pizza home, took one look at it and it was white as a ghost. Took one bite and threw it away. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place. I had a pizza from them before, the pepperoni and honey, and it was amazing. The other night had pizza from here that I'm 100% was made in frozen crust from the supermarket. It was nasty read more

This is a very cute and trendy place in uptown Bay City. It is the same owner as Uptown Grill. I have been here twice total and have had similar experiences both times. Food is great. The fried mozzarella is some of the best I've had and the pizza is one of my favorites. Where this place falls behind is the service. We waited 16 minutes after being seated for a server to come to the table. They were not busy at all and I counted five servers that were folding silverware or doing busy work by the kitchen. None approached until I made very intentional eye contact. Our order was taken and the food was slow to come. In total, we were there for just over an hour which isn't terrible but when the restaurant isn't busy and we aren't being serviced timely it's not good. Similar experience the first time I was here as well which leads me to believe it's just how service is here. I won't eat in here again. read more

Terrible experience here tonight. I don't usually post bad reviews but feel the need to do so. We waited an hour and a half for two pizzas, which we never received, so we left. Our server was not attentive. She didn't check in with us unless we called her over. Didn't offer us more bread, waters, etc. She said we would have a discounted bill but offered no details. At one point she said 5-10 more minutes for our food. We waited the 10 then left. The owner appeared to be notified how long our food was taking and that we were leaving and he didn't approach us either. We understand we need to be patient with the post covid restaurant experience but when multiple parties, some larger, are served, ate and cashed out before we received anything we were done. Bummer. It was our anniversary and we chose here to celebrate. We won't make that mistake again. read more

This was by far the best vegan pizza I've ever had, the first one came out just fine and I had it half gone and the chef wasn't happy with it because the crust was too well done and brought me out a second one which was unnecessary but was super sweet, staff was super friendly as well, we will definitely be going here again read more

The pizza and the service were very good! The place has a nice vibe and they even had live music on the patio the night we were there!

The best pizza in the area! Great ambiance and staff was really friendly every time we've been.
