I don't know why I wanted so very much to like this place and it's food. Maybe because it was an alternative to the garbage pizza chain down the block. Or maybe it was because it was run by what seemed like regular Joe Italians. I dunno. But honestly I don't find anything about their pizza that's noteworthy aside from the fact they seem to use real cheese as opposed to the processed stuff.
I've tried a few of their slices and well...It's OK, better than Pizza Pizza, but that's about as far as it goes. I've eaten pizza from all over the city from franchise to gourmet and I honestly don't feel there is anything about Vinny Massimo's that makes it stand out. Furthermore, why so skimpy on the toppings? For what they charge for a slice they shouldn't sprinkle their toppings with such a degree of cost cutting reservation.
As for pasta, I did try their spaghetti and meatballs and again it was merely OK. Was it worth what I paid for it? Not really. Maybe I'm fussy, maybe I don't get it, but I expected more out of my experience from this place. Too it's not exactly the most appealing place to sit and eat, absolute bare minimum in seating and decor to open the business with.
I'm giving the place a generous 3 stars as it is smack in the middle OK but really meh, I've had better. I guess 2 1/2 stars would be about right.
