We had a coupon for Pizzarella Pizza in Brookline, but when we called to place an order ... the location is now Vinny's Great Pizza! (And guess what - they were nice enough to accept the Pizzarella coupon.)
When I think of a "Vinny's Pizza", I automatically think of a pizza from Vincent's Pizza Park in Forest Hillls and wondered if they were affiliated (the answer is no). Vinny's Great Pizza & More is actually a chain, with locations in Brookline, Uniontown and Morgantown, WV. This Vinny's Pizza was named for Vincent Tarzia, who came to American with his mother from Marina Di Gioiosa, Reggio Calabria, Italy.
When we try a new pizzaria, we like to order a plain cheese pizza with a red sauce, so that we can fairly compare it to others we've tried. Our first impression of Vinny's was the wonderful aroma - we could hardly wait to open the box and dive in! We enjoyed the robust sauce - it was thick and rich, with flecks of oregano. The traditional style crust was also thick and rich and had a mild flavor, which made it a good vehicle for the sauce and the generous layer of luscious, gooey cheese.
Vinny's Great Pizza & More has a very extensive menu which includes Appetizers, Salad, Wings, Hoagies and Subs (including gyros), Calzones & Strombolis, Italian Dinners, Desserts and Soft Drinks. They have red or white pizzas, eleven specialty pizzas and Vinny's Signature Pizza, which sounds fantastic. It's called "The Mediterranean", and comes with either white or red sauce, and is topped with roasted red peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, Kalamata olives, onions, mozzarella, provolone and feta cheese.
Here's a cool idea - Vinny's has cell phone coupons! Send a text to phone number 30364, type CHEESE, hit send and a coupon and special offer will be delivered to your cell phone, "like magic, Baby!"
