Vincenzo's Pizza Newhall — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

We'd been hearing about Vincenzo's ever since we moved to the Santa Clarita Valley a few years back. We're always looking for great NY Style pizza and they can stretch a pie thin to sort of kind of get you in that direction.

You order at the counter (which may be hard to find if you've never been there before...you have to enter the dining room, walk through it, take a couple of lefts before you get there.) Then they bring your food to the table.

We ordered a medium cheese stretched thin...there's always a risk that pizza places don't put enough sauce on a pie...we really like to taste the sauce...I asked about this and they said they'd put a little extra on ours. What came to the table didn't have much sauce on it and was slightly overcooked. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't really achieve the NYC style pie we were looking for.

The Cheese Garlic Bread was good...served on Texas-Style toast. We also had a green salad which had lots of croutons and some cheese on it...basic but good enough.

I think we're still pining for excellent NY style pizza up here. Vincenzo's wasn't quite it. It's nice that they'll stretch their pies thin...the overall dated atmosphere of the room and the many years the place has been there left us thinking this place may have had a hey-day which it left behind...

My husband has raved about their pizza for years, we finally moved close to one and had to try it. We ordered out and when I went in to pick up our food it was crowded. Which to me was a great sign, the food must be good, right!? As I waited in line for 15 min, it was super hot and I felt bad for the staff who were all sweating as much as I was now. I couldn't imagine having to stay there much longer. Once I got my order it was a lot to carry by myself, we got the family meal (28" large pizza, garlic cheese bread, large antipasta salad, 2 liter of coke) and the cashier asked if i needed help out. I was pleasantly surprised and said, "yes please." She turned and asked one of the young guys working there if he were busy and if he could please help me out? He turned and very rudely replied yes I'm busy as he rolled his eyes with attitude. After waiting the 15 mins in the heat and sweating at this point I was over this place, especially since they had offered to help in the first place. I turned to them and just said, "nevermind, I got it. Thanks anyways." The food was ok, but if I have to deal with customer service like that I would rather not do it again. There are too many good pizza places to choose from...

A friend took me here. This was his second visit. He couldn't remember the name the night before, but he remembered how big the pizza was. Thankfully, the name Vincenzo's came to him the next day.

Growing up in the midwest, my parents and I had a regular family owned pizza joint. Vincenzo's made me feel like I was back at home with its no frills atmosphere. Pizza is supposed to be unhealthy, California. Stop being pretentious with it unlike at Vincenzo's. My friend and I got the Esperienza, and he was right, the pizza was huge and loaded with toppings. I also got a small Veggie Pasto salad. It was big enough to share. I'm pretty sure we had 4 to 5 servings of vegetables by the end of the meal. Plus, we had leftovers.

Times are tough, but the value and quality you get at Vincenzo's must be what has kept this small business open since 1979. The staff is super chill I think I found the best...
