Excellent huge slice of cheese pizza at a nice price. Was greeted by owners/workers with a smile a friendly Chicago attitude love it.

I've been going here for a long time. Their prices are fair. Very nice people work there. And they also make excellent pizza. I haven't eaten anything else. They have a small seating area. Sometimes people are eating there. Although, that seems more utilitarian than anything. Have never been disappointed with the pizza. It's always hot, loaded with toppings. Great flavors. Good spice on the spicy. Vegetables always and obviously fresh. Crust stays crunchy on the bottom. I know somebody said that this place brings shame to Chicago pizza. I guess that's a matter of opinion. Somebody had an off day. But I've probably ordered from them 25 times in the last couple of years and haven't missed yet. Try the Bubba. Try the Mexican. Make your own. They're all good. read more

Been coming here for years. I only get the cheese slice with pop n fries, 7.60. Good place to get a quick bite. I wish they didn't paint the whole place white inside, looks way too tacky. The pizza slices here are what I consider Chicago style pizza. Not the lou's style. Don't go out of your way to go here but if you're in the area and need a quick bite, give them a try. read more

The pizza is so greasy it slides off the napkins. Do not waste your money! It is best to order from a well known pizza restaurant. This pizza is shameful to Chicago. read more

I'm so happy to have Vini's in the neighborhood! Funny enough, we only tried their pizza for the first time recently when a friend was in town. So great. Before that, my husband and I have loved certain non-pizza items. My husband likes one of their beef sandwiches, and I am a total nut for their gyro burger. It's so good. I find them to be rather fast to get orders ready, and the prices are not too bad. We have never dined in. The seating space is small, and it was closed for a long time, so it may not even be back open since the onset of COVID. Regardless, I'd consider this more of a take-out type place anyway. Check their website, as they do have specials. read more

The buffalo wings were a 10/10 here. Not to mention the steal! $11.25 for 7 wings, can't beat that deal.

My second time here. The first time I ordered pizza slices, the slices were OK except for the crust, everything else was fine. This time I tried their sandwiches. I ordered for my friend an Italian Sausage Sandwich with Mozzarella cheese and red gravy and I ordered a "Bubba Beef" which consist of Italian beef that was very tender, Mozzarella cheese, Hot Giardiniera, and red gravy both were really good. I would take a pass on the pizza slices but do try something else, I did and I was pleasantly surprised. I like their Daily Special menu, I'll give them a try too. The people are really nice and asked you all the right questions when you order to make sure they are getting it right. read more

The fact you can order the size of the pizza along with what you want on it? Does it for me! Friendly staff and that's all I need read more

We usually get Vini's when we're in Elk Grove, but lately, our go-to pizza joint for the last almost 30 years has hit the skids in quality, so we've been looking for a new place. Vini's on Lawrence has delicious pizza. The crust is perfectly thin with just the right amount of cheese and toppings. Just good quality Chicago thin crust. We've been ordering on and off for about a year now in between ordering from the old place and have found our new pizza joint. Bye, bye, VP pizza. Hello, Vini's. read more

Vini's Pizza - 20" thin crust...half sausage, half cheese - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It seems the Vini's brand or this location changed hands back in 2017 and with it some of their "flavors." I can't quite remember the last time I had any of their pizza but I'm thinking it would have been with the previous owners. Alternately, I have for certain had slices at their other locations which were hit or miss in quality but those slices offered daily would fill an appetite. Pizza slices are offered daily here as well. Commonly found in a rotating rack under heat lamps that leave the slices looking tragic. Checked them out on few occasions recently trying out their deep dish and thin crust pizzas. I think their deep dish can compete with any local brand and it should suit. Same sauce, same crust and same thick, 'throat choking' cheese. Best when served piping hot IMO. Their thin crust has a thickness that rivals a pan pizza. If watching carbs or etc reasons, may be prudent to ask whether they can make a thin, "extra thin." For the sake of knowing I asked whether they offer pan pizza. To that they responded they could create a pan pizza but only if willing to pay twice for the toppings on a specialty pizza. Quick math would mean an extra $10 dollars on any specialty. ($2.50 per topping) Much to high IMO. Their regular pizzas are just that. Pizza. Nothing special there. I'm rating them 4 stars overall because the deep was so good & some of their non-pizza items are decent in quality. Not a fan of their thin pizza, somehow it just doesn't taste as good as the deep dish. Weird. **Side note: When stopping in for a pickup recently I was told they started a special menu for South Indian breakfast items which are available from 5 am to 10 am daily. Their online menu does not mention any of that. Guessing they are adopting cuisines from all the staff and management at work. I'm South Indian so I'm uber curious whether the breakfast items (masala dosa / idli & sambar) are any good. read more

My love and I have been ordering from Vini's Pizza on occasion during this ol' pandemic, as it is easy to walk to this no-frills neighborhood joint from our home. Vini's is currently dishing out its food for takeout or delivery - no dine in during the pandemic. Amazingly we finally ordered a pizza recently (hey, "Pizza" is in its name after all), and our group of four gave a collective Thumbs Up to the large thin crust pizza with sausage and pepperoni. The thin crust was crispy, and the ingredients were savory without being overly greasy. The "interior" squares tasted good as leftovers the next day. Yesterday I tried the Bubba Beef, a hefty assemblage with Italian beef stacked on a garlic bread roll and topped with melted mozzarella cheese, sweet peppers (or hot peppers), and red sauce. I do not like an Italian beef to be "dipped" and this non-dipped sandwich is moist and messy enough without the extra beef juice. I could not finish this sandwich in one sitting and was glad to enjoy the rest of it as part of my lunch today. I have also tried the BBQ beef sandwich in the recent past and it is also quite tasty. My love has enjoyed the hamburger, gyros sandwich, as well as the gyro burger which comes with a cup of tzatziki sauce. The order of cheese fries can be shared and comes with a cup of cheese sauce. The onion rings are also pretty good. The panzerotti is massive, oozy gooey with cheese and comes out piping hot but it takes quite awhile for them to make so pad your wait time a bit. I'd say skip the fried chicken - perhaps the order of wings might be better. read more

$53 for one pizza is ridiculous, never again. Called to get understanding on the over charge, person claimed to be a manger but was going to have another manager call me back. Cindy who called me back claiming to be the store manager said when substituting ingredients we still have to pay full price for the ingredients and as for the coupon it's deducted after its received?!? She goes on to say I didn't turn the coupon in and it's required for discount. I asked for the owner and she refused to provide that information, horrible customer service. read more

Ordered 2 salads and both of them were incorrect. It's not that hard to get salads correct. I asked for no cheese as I am lactose intolerant, and both salads had cheese on them. Asked for no onions and it was loaded with onions. Apparently they don't know their own menu and how to toss together a couple ingredients. And then they have no type of customer service in there at all. Rolling eyes and huffing and puffing yelling at each other about who did what. Just help the customer! Which they didn't do at all. Wasted money and wasted time. First and LAST time going here. If you can't get a salad correct, can't imagine you can get anything else on the menu correct. read more

Best pizza in town!!! I love love love the tomato sauce in this pizza. I have had pizzas from many places but Vini's pizza has the best one, by far! The staff is very friendly! Place looks clean and the guy who makes the pizza always washes his hands. 5 stars for this place! Definitely will continue to order from here. read more

Very friendly staff, good pizza slices, they have a good $2 slice promotion on Mondays before 4:00 pm.

This is a review about the Vini's Pizza on Lawrence Avenue 4009 W. Lawrence across the street from Walgreens. I had been ordering from this place since 2017, it was a fantastic place to order food from, the salads and pizza was excellent to include their customer service. They must have changed ownership after COVID. During COVID, I would order from them all the time, after COVID, the customer service went south and the last problem was with the Owner herself. I stopped ordering from this restaurant 1.5 year's ago and started ordering from (Joe's) on Higgins and I have been a fan of Joe's since then. I decided to order some food last week from Vinni's, I give the food a 3 star rating their pizza dough seem to be very thin and I didn't order thin; today, I attempted to order some food at 9:00 pm. The girl that answered the call was horrible she says "Hello". I called back again the same thing "Hello". Was I calling a residence? I said, "Uh hello, is this Vini's Pizza, she said yes, I asked her why are you answering the call by saying "Hello?" this will confuse people in believing they are calling a residence. She replied, "I did say "Hello, Vinni's Pizza". Seriously now?! How could she have answered the call in that method with those words when the last word was "Hello?" Are you kidding me! I live one minute away, drove there and walked in. Yes, I spewed the biggest complaint to the Owner and I can say that she doesn't care either because the last arguement I had was with the Owner 1.5 year's ago and as she stated "I don't care!" Okay, I started ordering from Joe's on Higgins. That girl's demeanor and look on her face towards the Owner was as if she was not going to get in trouble, smirk smile. A look that not even my kids gave me when they were in grammar school being called on the carpet by the Principle. I do not recommend anybody to order from this place in the Mayfair community unless you are not coherent and it's your last resort. I have heard several complaints from some managers from a nearby businesses that stopped ordering from Vini's Pizza located at 4009 W. Lawrence Avenue, in Chicago, unless it's your last resort. We have been supporting this restaurant since 2017, I stopped after COVID on ordering from them; and they give us horrible customer service. They shouldn't even be in business. I hope that Joe's on Higgins comes into our Mayfair community and opens their doors, it would be the best place to order food, wine and dine too; a lot of class and excellnet Gelato to include customer service. read more

Our usual pizza place. Family consists of one person who loves pizza and three people who very much do not. Ordering from Vini's means everyone gets something they'll enjoy. Lack of five stars only because the portions for everything that's not pizza have gotten smaller and smaller while prices go up. I am open to one or the other, but not both. read more

We were excited to try out Vini's tonight for the first time. We ordered a gyro platter, 2 cannolis, and a chicken parm sandwich, all with fries and drinks. First thing we noticed once we got home was they had completely forgotten to give us the cannolis. Then we opened up the food and found out $36 meal was just a bunch of frozen boxed meat heated up and bagged. The gyro was repulsive and barely had any toppings to be considered a "platter." The chicken parm was goopy and dry. Word of advice, if you want a quick dinner for a fraction of the price go two blocks down to the freezer section of Aldi... it would certainly be better! read more

Tried out Vini's last night and ordered a large pizza, mozzarella sticks, and cheesecake. Overall the pizza was pretty damn delicious, mozzarella sticks on point, but the cheesecake was just an overpriced slice of Eli's Cheesecake. Regardless was happy with the quality of pizza we received and devoured :) FYI--It's street parking. If you're picking up have a friend run inside while you pull in and wait at the bank next door read more

My favorite pizza ever. Only 20 minutes for a fresh thin crust pizza. Ordered carryout today for a 12" hawaiian and jalapeños and as always, it was super yummy. read more

Just got a double decker pizza, and it's delicious. I initially ordered through Grubhub, but long story short, they messed everything up and after 40 minutes on the phone with GH and then the restaurant.... The restaurant helped me out and fixed the problem the old fashioned way. They remedied a situation GH appears to have created, and i am very grateful for their excellent customer service!!! Also, this pizza is VERY YUMMY!! It's a lot of pizza, and totally worth all the trouble I had. I will be ordering here again!! read more

I came to Vini's Pizza because they were the only place in the area that's sold Pizza by the slice that wasn't a chain. I ordered a slice of their pepperoni and a slice of their sausage combo and I definitely only needed one slice of pizza. Their slices are hefty and packed loaded with cheese! Their crust is also crispy and buttery. A combo with a slice of pizza fries and drink for six dollars is a steal! The people there were great as well. They were so nice they even invited me to see their fridge and how fresh the dough and ingredients were. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Finally tried out this place after two different recommendations. It was decent, the food was hot. The driver mishandled the pizza so it slid around a bit, not ideal when ordering pizza for delivery. I enjoyed the sausage on the pizza but the pepperoni or sauce made it a bit salty. The crust was doughy with a nice crisp bottom. For the cost and special deal they have, its worth it. However the Buffalo wings were pretty bad, seemed reheated to hell and flabby. Stick with the French fries. But the Cesar salad saved the day, really fresh clean lettuce and a tasty dressing. I'd order salad and pizza again, maybe for pickup instead of delivery. read more

Ordered a 20 in pizza for my partner and I tonight--YUM. So delicious. Also came with a free Pepsi and a couple slices of cheesecake. Such a nice touch. My new go-to pizzeria without a doubt. Thanks Vini's!! read more

Pizza taste great the wings are the best I've tried in a long time. Plus the prices are super spot on I mean 25 bucks for 20" pizza, wings, salad, and a pop wow read more

Great little place for a cheap slice of pizza if you're passing by or in the neighborhood. The shop is clean and the service is friendly. The only thing I'd say was that I wished they'd warmed the pizza for just a bit longer. Cheap, quick, and casual! read more

Can't stress how understanding these workers are! Ordered pizza for our kids at work. It was through the summer and we wanted to send our kids away on vacation the right way. We threw a pizza party and they adjusted to our time frame. They were so nice and courteous. Will def order from vinis again! read more

Pretty good pizza, well I actually had the calzone, giant pizza puff thing. And it was really good. Nice service. Ready on time. I would go again read more

We order the grub hub delivery the other night. The driver was the nicest guy very friendly & helpful ensuring I had all the food secure in the arms so I didn't drop it. The pizza was cheese it was fine the sauce was kind of to sweet for us but crust was good & they didn't skip on the cheese. We also order the lasagna which was on special it came with fresh bread the portion was huge & again plenty cheese. The sauce was very sweet. I guess it preference some might like sweet sauce or possibly they put to much sugar when making the sauce this night. Overall decent food with good specials. I would probably give 3 but since the driver was so amazing bump it to 4 stars. read more

Mayfair's best kept secret for hot wings, when Vini's prepares this american classic appetizer, they got it down to a science! You get a lot of meat and a crispy breading despite the sauce bath they receive. I like the buffalo sauce because it has the right kind of heat/flavor combination, only to be properly cooled down with their tasty dipping sauces they offer. You can also get BBQ or plain wings, but I wish there was a mango habanero. If you're huge into dipping sauces like I am, then you need to know Vini's has the best ranch and blue cheese dipping sauce. You know when you go other places, the quality of the dipping sauce can ruin everything. You can have your order delivered, but I always pick up my orders. You should visit their kitchen anyway. For the small space, it's always clean and the staff is very friendly! They also speak Spanish! I really love this little spot. One day I will try their pizza. For now I am on a low-carb diet. Not that wings make it any better! The one challenge you have when you visit Vini's, is the parking. If it's after hours, I usually swing into the 5/3rd bank parking lot to pick up my order, but I wouldn't park there for very long. Not if you're going to eat here. You need to try the wings at Vini's. I promise you'll thank me! read more

God-awful take-out slices; dried out and nasty and leaves a bad taste in the mouth (figuratively and literally).

Bacon. When you order a meat lover's pizza, usually you'll get a pie stacked with pepperoni, sausage, maybe some bacon or ham. Here at Vini's Pizza, they will load this pie up with bacon the way you'd do it if you were making your own pizza. Every bite of pie is crisp and topped off with a bodacious layer of bacon. I ordered delivery via GrubHub so I wouldn't have to make any phone calls and the delivery came 10 minutes earlier than the projected time. I got coupons all day and bacon pizza because seriously this wipes out the taste of anything else on this pizza and I am fine with it! read more
