Vinny's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Town of Herkimer

When I asked a local business for the best place to grab lunch in town it took about a millisecond to suggest Vinny's. She raved about their pizza and said it was the best. She was right. I had a slice of broccoli tomato as it had caught my eye when looking at the menu online. When I walked in and the lovely gal suggested it as her favorite, I knew I had to go for it and it was worth it. What I didn't know is that the Sicilian corner slice would be so simple - no toppings, just sauce and cheese - but life changing. That was pure happiness and the flavor was impressive. It's one of those big fat slices with goodness at every bite. It makes you want to go back to get another slice but you realize it is a big fat slice and it has expanded in your body to the point you decide to go try the garlic knots sitting next to you. Those were also incredible! In my experience I'm always disappointed in cheese bread, garlic bread, and appetizers like them when I order them. They lack flavor and character. That was so not the case with Vinny's garlic knots. I chose to dip them in marinara but snuck a few bites without sauce because I couldn't believe what my taste buds were telling me. I can only be grateful I enjoyed a fantastic lunch before the rush and that I don't live near it as I could see my fingers becoming too fat to type if I could eat like a king at Vinny's 3x a day.

I was smart enough to have saved the freshly made cannoli for a little later in the day and it was so so so worth it. Perfect end to an A+ experience with...

First time trying their wings and unfortunately I think I got someone else's order as they weren't the flavor of wings I ordered. They were okay but not what I was expecting.

It was a busy Saturday night but the staff seemed calm and enjoying work. I ordered ahead and thought 45-55 minutes would be enough time to get a simple order together but it ended up taking closer to 75 minutes because we were waiting on the fries and guess what...

Their fries were worth the wait! I wish I would have gotten more ketchup when I asked but she assured me there was some in the bag. She was right three ketchup packets supplied about 1/5 of the fries with some color. Luckily, the fries were amazing without anything but could have been next level addicting if I had something to dip them in.

I didn't mind waiting and watching the pizza making operation but I would probably stick to a slice next time so I can...

Vinny's makes some of the best food in the area & has for decades. I truly don't think you can find a better slice! Their prices are reasonable, portions are great, & service is some of the best around. There can be a bit of a wait, but that's due to the high volume of customers and personalized preperation. I'd much rather wait a bit, knowing my food is being freshly made to order, than have generic, pre-made food ready in...
