The Vinnie Verdict
Great shitty pie, which I will take over shitty great pie any day.
The crust is extremely puffy around the edges, yet somehow light. It’s flakier than most pizza dough, and somehow the bottom of the pie managed to be very crisp and firm. All around a good platform. Cheese was your typical processed Mozzarella/Provolone mix, applied with a heavy hand. Sauce was standard stuff from a can, but really a non factor as it was drowned out by the toppings. The toppings are what the place is known for, as it should be. He used good pepperoni, and damn near a pound of it on a pie. I’m not a mushroom guy, but my pal Adkins loved the way the mushrooms sort of sautéed in the pools of grease from the meats and cheeses.
Overall it was quite tasty and very unique pie. Sort of a hybrid of your normal midwest pie and a full-on Chicago style pizza. IMHO the pizza men from Chitown could learn a thing or two from Vinnie as I enjoyed his more than I have theirs.
