Vincent's Pizza Park

End of an Era....

by 663763736 at Citysearch

As previous posters have related, Vincents' in Forest Hills has completely fallen apart since Vince stopped running the business. The young guy (Vinces' son???) who answers the phone and makes the pies is just the worst kind of person you would ever want fronting a business. Where Vince may have had comtempt for his customers (as most owners of restaurants do...believe it) he concealed it....mostly. Vinnies replacement doesn't hide the fact that he hates what he's doing, hates you, would rather be doing anything that what he's doing and thinks you're a pathetic, mouthbreathing tard for bothering him, which is fine if you work for the County, but when you're the face of the business, its fatal. As a result of the recent spike in the price of, well, everything, the size of the pies has shrunk along with the amount of the toppings. A little tip here, don't mess with a successful product. Raise the price and know people are willing to pay for quality no matter how much they whine about it. Now where was I...horrid attitudes, declining product....oh yeah, I would highly recommend getting your pie to go. If the funk don't freak you out, the fear of the building falling down while your eating could be distracting. I got 100 bucks that says there's no way, NO WAY, the business passes it's next visit from the Health inspector......I'll always argue that Vinnie made the best pie in Pittsburgh history. Unfortunately, that's all it is...history.

• Pros: great memories
• Cons: see above

I always go to the Vincen'ts in Plum - very friends, great pie.

Grew up with the Vincen'ts in Forest Hills. I haven't been there in years and probably will never go back there again after my experience their yesterday. Called to order a pie, got this horrible miserable man. From some of the other reviews on here, I think this must be the owner - what a miserable individual. I will never go back their again.

p.s. must say the pie was very good!

• Pros: still great pizza

GREAT PIZZA - Try the Green Pepper, Onion and Mushroom!

by car2631 at Citysearch

The photo for Vincent's does not do the place any justice as the building has been painted and does not look that badly. There was only one waitress in the dining area, but an off-duty cheery employee decided to help out since she was there to watch the game. The pizza is excellent! Period. We went to eat great pizza and that's exactly what we got! Great pizza and not so bad service for only one waitress on duty. If you want to experience an awesome pizza, by all means, GO!

• Pros: Fresh dough and tons of ingredients on the pizza
• Cons: Not a source of DIET FOOD

What happened? The dirties place I have ever been to! Wow.

by hcurtis77 at Citysearch

The pizza is still okay, but the place is so dirty you can no longer eat there. It smelled so bad last time we had to leave. First we moved to a different table thinking it was a bad spot but, then we just left. The pizza was good but, it will be our last trip there. I have been going there since the 80's. Vincent wasn't exactly a clean place ever, but a sewer smell is too much and it is way more dirty now than ever. What a shame.

It should be shut down.

• Pros: Pizza okay
• Cons: Filthy!

The Children of Vincent running his business will crumble it just like the crust

SInce Vincent the owner retired the place has gotten bad an worst every day. Its ashame because when Vincent was there the pizza was out of this world. Now its being run by his children an its terrible. they dont give a dam attitude will bring what Vincent worked so hard for to nothing. I know Vincent personally as a kid growing up an seeing Vincent when i would deliver newspapers . That was back in 1972.. Now the kids running the place are ignorant B I T C H ES and B A S T A R D S.. The dirty f u c k e r s are destroyin what Vincent has made a historical place of Pizza....... The spoiled badly greedy kids of Vincent who run the place will choke on their greedyness an soon Vincent will be a memory......What took Vincent almost 40 years to create will be gone in 3 years

• Pros: able to leave
• Cons: Stinky,,, s h i tt y service,,pizza nasty.. kids terrible

FILTHY>>>FILTHY>>>FILTHY

by Whoanellie1975 at Citysearch

I have been to Vinny's many times and I used to enjoy their pizza but lately its been on the unedible side, it's been burnt or there is so much cheese (which sometimes is a good thing) but it doesn't seem cooked. Next is the cleanliness of the Pittsburgh establishment. The dining room floors are filthy and the bathrooms, let me just say if your're going to eat there DON"T go to the bathroom before you eat. You will lose your appetite!!! The toilets are always clogged which results in an unpleasant odor, if you catch my drift. Stay away....

• Cons: Bathrooms, Service

Very Poor Customer Service

by msbrat70 at Citysearch

I'm very tired of spending my hard earned money in establishments that are less than coutious and unwilling to make amends when the give poor service or a poor quality of the product they sell. I've experienced this poor service at multiple McDonalds, KFC's, and Rita's Italian Ice establishments. This evening I yet had to go through it again with Vincent's Pizza Park in Pittsburgh. I called to order and the order taker was very SHORT and acted as though I was bothering him. I still put my order in because I really enjyed there pizza, BAD MOVE!!! My sister and I went to pick up the pizza and still experienced this less than courtous employee who again, acted as though we were 2nd class citizens. We took the pizza home and it was one of the worse pizza's i've had. Now mind you, Vincent's is known for their pizza, it's a very good pie and is known for being very greasy, a eat at your own risk type of food. Well, I knew this because of eating there in the past but again, never really had a problem and really enjoyed the food. Well after being so upset when we got home and started eating the pie that tasted like it had been cooked and then re heated and sold, the pepperoni was chewy as though it was old. I called back and got the shift supervisor. He was basically just as short as the order taker and agrued back and forth with me saying what do you want me to do about it. I told him that I'm calling to make you aware of the poor experience I had after buying his product and that i wasn't trying to get a free pizza. It's like that was supposed to be the band aid to cover the wound. I'm sick of spending my HARD EARNED MONEY in establishments that treat you like a 2nd class citizen and don't even try to apologize but, will be quick to give you an excuse. Please, someone tell me what happened to think customer 1st or the customer is always right because lately i've been made to feel that I'm wrong for asking for quality and courtious service.

Best pizza. Ever.

by skibum1080x at Citysearch

I grew up going to "Wednesday pizza nights" at my grandma's house with Vincents pizza. Nothing in the world compares to it. I usually eat healthy, but this is one exception I am more than willing to make because it is worth it. If you haven't been there you HAVE to go!!! I can't say enough good things about the pizza!

• Pros: Everything!!! The best pizza you will ever have!
• Cons: none.
