I remember loving this place but currently the dinning room isn't open. It's a dive with great food, hopefully they decide to pay their workers and open back up. read more

My family has been ordering pizza from this place since I was a little kid. It is one of my most favorite places to get pizza in all of Chicago. Although we always order thick crust with extra sauce, which is always amazing, the thin crust is super delicious too. I just recently tried their calamari and it is SO GOOD! (I don't really care for their stuffed crust though, way too cheesy for my liking.) But this place will always have a special place in my heart, and I find myself randomly craving it ALL of the time! read more

Been ordering pizza from Vince's for the past 15 years and it continues to be my favorite. The service is excellent as well.

Pizza was amazing. I Was to far from dominos and all I wanted was a pineapple pizza with ham and that's exactly what I got I think it's better than dominos. read more

It may not look like a pizza place outside and the inside, but there is pizza here! I usually take Vince's for delivery. There is take-out or you can just sit at the restaurant. When I open up the pizza, some of the stuff are stapled. It's hard to open the pizza then if you staple it! The service is pretty good. The staff are nice and friendly. The delivery guy is nice and friendly too! I'm really happy there are nice people in this pizza place! The look of the interior is not too bad. It doesn't like your average pizza parlor interior. There is a bar here, and there is a small and open wall for ordering take-out. The best part about Vince's is the food. I usually get pizza. The pizza tastes really good! It's a different and good taste. The sauce tastes good with the crust and cheese. I also get mostacholi. It tasted pretty good. The sauce had a good taste with the pasta. The mozzarella sticks at Vince's are good too! It's nicely breaded and the cheese has a good taste. All in all, good food, good service, but the stapling on the pizza needs to stop. I will be back here! read more

See all

Just had a Pizza from Vinces and it was just terrible! It was put together by 2nd graders! You couldn't make it worse. All the Pizza makers must have quit! I won't go there again, very disappointing! read more

Divey family neighborhood spot. Doesn't look like much inside or outside, but the food is classic Italian comfort food and all great! I've had it catered for my sons birthday pizza and other items and had nothing but good words about it. I only put 4 stars because it seems to always be busy and yet it still look way old and extra divey. If you went by looks, you wouldn't go past the front door. But once you try the food, you order it to go! read more

We've ordered from here half a dozen times, thin crust pizza is five stars. We had a problem with one order & they corrected it right away. Their delivery times are accurate, then they say one hour they mean an hour read more

Vince's Pizza - XL thin crust pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've got to say, if you want a quick regular pizza - Vince's is the way to go! Vince's special pizza is my go-to. This is the type of pizza that leftovers are always great. Not sure what it is in the pizza - sauce or dough, but it's sure a treat! read more

Long story short: Thoroughly disgusted by the customer service here. Waited over an hour for food and server and management were absent and apathetic. Long story: After ordering food we waited about 20 minutes for our appetizer, and then didnt see our server for another 30 min. I tried looking for her but couldn't find her. Finally she came around about 10 minutes later and we asked for an ETA for the main dishes. She said about 7 min and sorry they had a big party. Mind you it was LITERALLY my family of 5 and this party in the restaurant. (You can see into the kitchen and there was about 7 kitchen staff, 2 other servers, and the manager in there) Another 20 minutes go by and nothing. No update, no apologies, no server stopping by the table, nothing. I get up again to ask for an update and she said she would check. She came back and said she was bringing it out. She brings 2 meals to the table and 1 is wrong... at this point we called it quits. We told her how unsatisfied we were and that we wanted to speak to the manager. He took about 5 minutes to get to the table..but we told him our experience. He blamed his server, how old he was, and that they were SO incredibly busy. He kept flailing his hands in the air and repeating himself? So we stopped him from rambling and that we just wanted to pay for the appetizer and drinks. We paid and left. I will be telling anyone who asks "wheres a good place to eat in the area" to NOT go to Vince's. Plus the mozzarella sticks weren't good. read more

First time going here! Won't be the last time and I'm not even in Chicago! EXCELLENT chicken vesuvio! Highly recommend it. Chicken was tender, sauce was just right, and plenty of mushrooms added to the vesuvio potatoes was the perfect dinner! I did not eat anything else, but with all their food made from scratch I'm sure it will all be just as good as my entree. Wow!!!! read more

The food and service was good until I found a piece of wire in my eggplant parmesan. They made me a knew one, but we had them make it to go since the rest of my party was almost done eating at that point. In my experience working at restaurants, it should be protocol to offer that meal for free or offer free dessert or drinks or something. They only offered to make me a new one, and the person that came back from the kitchen was making excuses and didn't really apologize. They claimed it was a piece from a scrubby sponge which didn't make me feel much better about the quality of the food. With so many options in Chicago, we won't be going back here. read more

My family orders from Vince's at least once and week. Love their pizza, beef sandwiches, focaccia sub sandwiches and great pastas! They are reasonably priced and quick delivery. read more

Needed a spot near Midway Airport so found this online. They are mostly takeout due to lack of workers right now (April2022). The stuffed shells were amazing and their coleslaw is the best I've ever had. We'll definitely look forward to eating their food again. read more

So we have pizza night every Friday. We've been searching for a good pizza spot near us and heard lots of good things about this place. We ordered a large pizza 1/2 pepperoni & have sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms & black olives. The pizza was good but not what we were looking for. My kids enjoyed it so that was a plus. I felt it needed more sauce. We will continue our search. read more

My favorite is the thin pizza with jalapeños! Now the guys added Dill Pickle Pizza! You might think it sounds crazy, but it is great! It is a non-tomato sauced pizza on a light buttery flaky crust and I think there is some garlic involved. John and Mike are great guys and I love supporting them and their great Chicago neighborhood business! The staff is always friendly and nice! This restaurant is a treasure to the Clearing & Garfield Ridge area! read more

Best pizza around. Forget all the corporate places like Giordano's and Home Run Inn. Vince's is not pretty inside. It's a dive place and pretty run down. The outside looks kind of like a bar/strip club. The people are pretty rude when you call to order your pizza and they like to yell at other people when you're on the phone with them. But, this place has been around forever. With all the other pizza places coming and going - this place stays for a reason. read more

I'm pretty disappointed. My husband and I have been attempting to all the different pizza places in the neighborhood. I had heard really great things about Vince's so I was really excited to try it. Pizza was ordered at 631pm, we we told 1 hour for delivery. Fine, no problem. 8pm rolls around, nothing. So we called and were told its out for delivery and would be there in a few minutes. 830pm rolls around still no pizza, called again, pizza finally delivered at 840pm. 2 hours and 10 minutes for a pizza is ridiculous. When the pizza got here I would describe it as very average. If the pizza was better I may consider giving it a second chance. The only reason they are getting a second star is because the women on the phone and delivery driver were very courteous read more

Vince's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A-OK for food, I'd give them 4 stars for the food, but the facility is a Dive with dirty bathrooms and sticky booths. Sit at a table, they are the closest to clean. If the food wasn't so good, I wouldn't go here at all. Beer is almost cold, glasses are always warm, bar and bathrooms smell like grandmas basement. Have it delivered or pick it up. read more

They DELIVER cavatelli! It is almost impossible to fulfill my craving for the 'good stuff' from the comfort of the couch. For all of about $10, a wonderful person will arrive at the door bearing an aluminum container brimming w/my luscious little dumplings,dolloped w/fresh ricotta, coated in marinara AND baked w/a mountain of mozzarella. Lastly, to top it all off there is a side of soft, crusty bread to complete my meal of carb overkill. Oh, the other food that people have ordered w/me has also been well received. read more

Ordered from here yesterday and was very fast with the service. I had questions about pricing since I didn't have a menu and the young lady who answered the phone was very polite and helpful. The pizza got to my house very quick and delivery guy was very nice as well Pizza delish I will be ordering from here again. read more

Delicious Pizza. Just ordered a few nights ago. We live in the neighborhood so it is out place to order delivery from. It is always very good, I have not had a bad pizza yet. I have also been there for the buffet during lunch. Place does not get busy, not sure why. It is cheap, maybe $8 a person with out drinks. The food they have set out is great! Vary's daily. I completely agree with the other Yelper. GIVE THE BUFFET A TRY! IT IS GREAT. And yes, even for us Hispanic people. The only thing I would not recommend is the wings. Ordered them for the first time last week. Not so good. But since they get everything else right they get five stars. FYI...I found a coupon for $2 for a pizza on their website that I clicked on through Yelp. read more

Let me update my review for piss poor customer service today. I call in Tues 540 pm I asked to speak to a manager or owner and was abruptly hung up on & repeatedly so the 3 more times I called back. I called another line, no one says hello but I heard the little young dog for a lack of colorful words saying I just keep hanging up. I call back again & a guy answers says you're calling in the middle of dinner time call back. Then SAY that the first time you little twerps seriously how freaking rude can you be. My family has patronized your establishment for over 30 years and I am highly dissatisfied with how I was treated today. What happened to you guys. Two thumbs down. read more

I've been coming to this small pizza place since I was a kid. The guy who owns it worked here as a kid, with his dad (I think) and older brother. He's always been a nice guy and very friendly. They have a dinner buffet for $6.45 per person, which consists of: two types of soup (today it was cream of spinach and minestrone) salad pizza (cheese and sausage) eggplant parmesan, roast beef, mostaccioli, meatballs and marinara sauce, polish sausage and (sweet) sauerkraut, potatoes, chicken vesuvio, grilled veggies, and a few other things I can't remember. For dessert, they had tirimisu, bread pudding, and some white cake. I didn't try everything, and not everything I tried was great. (I heard the desserts were stale.) But the soup, beef, potatoes, pizza, and salad were good for the price. It's dark inside, they do have a regular menu (pizza is thin, like a Rosati's), and a little grimey. But it's a local dive that I find charming and tasty. read more

I've been a Clearing resident since 1982 and had this pizza many times. I went to grade school with one of the owners daughter Nancy at St. Rene. The place is a dive and the pizza is constantly inconsistent. At times it is delicious, other times it's watery. The only conclusion I have is due to the owners constantly yelling at their staff. The workers quit, they hire new help and thus the pizza changes with every visit. NOT RECOMMENDED. If you are a thin crust pizza lover, please try Vito and Nick's over at 84th and Pulaski. Eat it there! read more

I had originally given them a 3 star rating many years ago. After many years of additional dining, I am upgrading them to 4 stars. The buffet and courteous personal attention are excellent. If you every go away hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself. On a different note, their pizza is excellent and worth ordering. I only hope that they make it through the COVID shutdown experience. It would be a shame to lose a nice family run business like this. read more

Ordered pizza, pasta and a dessert for delivery, and it came pretty quick. Delivery driver was very friendly. Thin crust pizza was good; the pasta unfortunately was overcooked. However, I will say that even with delivery, all of the food was still hot (temp wise). The best was the dessert. Get the bread pudding, if you've never had it, you're missing out. It is creamy, dusted with cinnamon, and not overly sweet :) read more

Started with Minestrone Soup, Homemade Bread, Breaded Pepperoncini! Followed with the Best Thin Crust Pizza! Old School Italian since 1956! Time honored recipes passed down with consistent, high quality ingredients! Great Place to take the Family or meet up with friends! Extensive Italian-American menu. read more

It's probably been 15 years since I've been here. Baked clams were amazing!! Breaded cauliflower was ok. Cheese pizza was really good. Our server was great. Waited a while for our food, but our server was always checking in on us. I'll be back again. read more

Nasty. Ordered pizza and fries from here. Pizza had barely any sauce. Cheese didn't even make it to edges of the pizza. Fries were pale and barely cooked. Was so disgusted we couldn't even eat the food. Called the restaurant and was hung up on by the owner after I told him how unhappy we were with our meal. Decided to go in and get our money back. Place was completely empty with about 5 waitresses standing around talking. Owner was rude kept complaining that he couldn't talk to me and was too busy. When told about the under cooked fries, he continued to argue with me and said the oil was just changed and nothing was wrong with the fries. Will not be coming back. Owner needs to step up his management skills and take responsibility for the crappy food he feeds people. read more

Spent my summers and holidays in the neighborhood and this has always been our go to place for pizza. It's the pizza I compare all others to. Sausage pizza - great crust. Miss it on a regular basis. read more

Hale Theatre Company's second home after rehearsals. I come here with HTC after rehearsals and shows. Always greeted with a warm smile by the staff, and their food is delicious, especially the Calzones!!!! Depending on the night, you can catch Open Mic in the bar. It's a great place to come have a casual Friday night pizza date with family, friends, or your sig other. read more

Wow...what a difference how this place turned bad. Too sad to even go into detail...Their buffet has gone downhill... food barely warm... fish Friday and they hardly put out enuf fried shrimp for the 3 of us in there...and it was 12 noon!...they must have the blandest tasting pizza in a 5 mile radius... very sad...end of an era read more

I have been to the restaurant and now have used multiple times for pickup during the pandemic. There food is delicious and they are friendly and courteous. Just call your order and then call when you arrive and they'll bring it out to your car. Highly recommend, and once they re-open they have a GREAT lunch buffet. read more

Vince's is a great little gem in the Clearing neighborhood. It's nothing fancy but their pizza and Italian food is awesome! I love their baked spaghetti and minestrone soup. My husband and I even had our rehearsal dinner here back in 2015. Tasty Italian food at great prices! read more

This place is garbage. Their quality of product and service has regressed steadily over the past 6 plus years. I try and support my neighborhood businesses, but that's kind of hard when delivery is always late and items are missing consistently from your orders, even after u remind them of it and it still happens. But don't u dare call in to complain, the girl taking orders will just give u an attitude and start deflecting blame. And when I asked for someone in charge, the owner wasn't any better. He wasn't customer friendly at all so forget about customer appreciation and him taking any accountability or finding solutions to their mistakes if that's what you're expecting. All this guy did was when he got on the phone was argue and gave me an attitude. I mean how dare u call to tell him they have made another mistake for the millionth time! It's your fault not his for his business shorting u for something u pay for with your hard earned $$. Save yourself the headache and stomachache from the quality of food and service here. Believe me you'll thank me read more

The best in Thin Crust Pizza. Try the buffet, there is always someting different. It is a win win bet, even if you dont like a darn thing on the buffet, they always put out pizza so for about 8 bucks you can eat their great pizza til you bust. Lasanga, sausage sandwhich and chicken brocholli is to die for. read more

10/10 would recommend the shrimp scampi! It was delicious! Wish I took a pic but I dove right it. Can't wait to come back and try other menu items. Mickey made us feel right at home and our server was wonderful. Mangia read more

Haven't ordered in a long while so decided to try Vince's again but it wasn't the same maybe because of delivery order. Order the thin crust pizza with pepperoni but it got to my home cold and placed called to restaurant but person on phone said what do you want us to do make you another one. I told them my kids were hungry so they cooked pizza again in microwave just wanted to let you know but they acted like I wanted something for free. I guess that's why I haven't tried it in a long time. read more

We revisted our local pizza haunt after several years away. The food was still pretty good, but the waitress and service where not how we remember the place. We asked for diet cokes and she brought us diet rite without having the courtesy to explain they sold rc not coke products. The place was empty and in spite of that, she chose to chat with the other wait staff as opposed to checking on our needs. read more
