Read moreAlright y'all I REALLY WANTED to love their food. I had high expectations based on all of the positive reviews I saw in this group. Even with the high expectations, I wasn't expecting perfection. I was cautiously optimistic. Here's what we got and what we thought:
Pepperoni Slice: the crust was soft and this was even after I added it to my oven at 400 degrees for 6 minutes to give it more crisp. It was under seasoned in general. I added garlic powder and red pepper flakes (as I do to all pizza) and it still was a bit bland and chewy.
Chicken and Cheese Calzone: I was so excited to see they make calzones. It's one of the things I miss most about NYC (along with chicken parm heroes) but, this was the biggest disappointment of the night. The "grilled chicken" was white and I mean whiter than the ricotta cheese and mozzarella. This means it was most likely not grilled. It looked either boiled or frozen. Everything about this calzone was bland. There was ZERO seasoning. No flavor AT ALL. Thankfully the side of sauce helped with that. Also the dough was mushy and yes, I reheated it with the hopes of it crisping up a bit but the inside of the dough was raw.
Garlic Knots: These were not knots. They were more like breadsticks from Olive Garden. They were dry and lacked seasoning and barely had any garlic. Traditionally garlic knots have fresh garlic and olive oil on them, are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they are more like bites. This was not that.
Please know, I was routing for this place. I spent my entire life (born, raised) in NYC until 3 years ago and I miss those flavors. When I see ppl recommend NYC style places I have high hopes but I am not unrealistic about it. I can appreciate different pizza for what it is but when they call them selves NYC pizza, I have something very specific come to mind. Unfortunately, we will not...
Read moreToday’s Quiz. What is a Hot Stinger? a.) a surface to air missile. b) a serrano pepper, or c.) a Kia automobile. Actually, it doesn’t really matter; Uncle Vinny’s doesn’t have any of those anyway. (Read on for the correct answer.)
A Stromboli for me today! More specifically a NY style Stromboli vs. an original Mike’s Burger Royal (Spokane, WA) style Stromboli. Uncle Vinny’s Stromboli is a tasty, dense, meaty, pizza style sandwich; slightly different than their calzone. The stromboli came with two small cups of excellent seasoned tomato dipping sauce. A pleasant change up for lunch this week.
My wife had one of her favorites, spaghetti and meatball(s). A big pan of spaghetti and Vinny’s tasty tomato sauce with a big Q ball sized meat ball floating on top. A pizza crust bread roll on the side. For me, spaghetti is one of the most boring meals on earth. I almost fell asleep just looking at it. But she loved it.
Uncle Vinny’s offers pizza by the slice, with your choice of toppings. A bargain. They are big slices. Hot Oil is prominently displayed on the menu board, a popular condiment here. Great for dipping or spicing up the whole pizza. And check out those peperoni rolls and the pastry display case! Yeah buddy!
This is a neat, cozy, restaurant with great friendly service. Fair prices and generous servings. Judging from the weathered sign out front Uncle Vinny’s has been around for years. A Broken Arrow favorite with dedicated customers.
The answer is: b.) A hot stinger is a serrano pepper. Sometimes several whole serrano peppers are placed on top of, and baked with the pizza to give it a spicy kick. (A topping listed on the menu at Uncle Vinny’s, but they...
