What People's Say About Place

Our kids needed a good quick dinner while at the beach and they were tired of seafood. When you say pizza for the kids, they just get excited and Vinny happened to be the pizza joint that we decided to go with since it was close to our house. Very cool atmosphere inside with all the historic photos, retro arcade, games, and a bunch of merch that they have that you can buy. All of the kids ate up the pizza, the garlic pizza rolls, and there was nothing left once tonight was over!

Seriously don’t know how this place is not 5 stars!! Hands down best pizza on the Outer Banks. Owed and operated by someone who has lived here there whole life as well. Love knowing I am buying from a small business and not a chain. Would say its similar to new York style but there crust is more doughy which I love, so you get both of both worlds. Also there meatballs are handmade on their lasagna pie which is one of my favorites then second is there BBQ pizza. Hands down best bbq I have ever had! If your on the Outer Banks this is a must try! Also his family owes the italian restaurant next to this pizza shop which also serves amazing food!

This place will now have a special place in my heart. My soon to be fiancée and I ordered some personal pizzas to go so we could take them and watch the sunset on the beach. It’s thin crust style pizza which I do like. It’s freshly made and the wait time while they prepared the order was fair. I got my Hawaiian and he got a classic pepperoni. I ate it all and enjoyed it. Don’t miss this while you’re here! It’s hidden, but so good! Also if you pay in cash you’ll get 20% off of your total! You can order ahead or walk in

Best pizza on the beach! Vinny and his crew do it right! Crispy crust with no flop and the sauce is fantastic. Nothing but smiles every time I take the kids there!

We ordered two cheese pies. Crust was crispy with no flop. Sauce was delicious. Right amount of cheese. Excellent slice and pie. 10/10. The only downside is no seating inside but we sat out front and enjoyed our pizza. Staff was extremely friendly. Price is right too.

Best pizza I’ve had in OBX! Absolutely love the crust, sauce & toppings. The staff is also so friendly. Pictured is the Supremo Originale & the Philly Steak & Cheese Pizza. Delicious!

Fresh new pizza joint with the highest quality ingredients. Service was top notch and was impressed with minimum wait time even during what seemed to be their busy time of day. Reasonable prices on salads, apps and sandwiches; that day they had a slice lunch special for less than $5! They have maximized the small space with comfortable booths inside a a couple table for outside dining. Def will be a returning customer. With delivery option and impeccable service, I can see this being an outer banks staple for many locals /visitors in the years to come.

Awesome place and people! Pizza was awesome, great crust not soggy. No flop! Staff is super polite, and accommodating. Excellent NY style pizza, from a great family place. Try the lasagna pizza!
