I went to Vincent's for the first time last week. I ordered the ricotta and spinach slice and a slice of Sicilian with some veggies. I can't understand how filling this pizza is- I didn't get to my Sicilian until the next day out of the fridge. While it was still tasty, I don't think it fair to review a place based on day-old cold pizza. Anyway, the ricotta and spinach slice was heaven. Then again, I like anything with ricotta. So I held off reviewing until tonight, when I went back for a cheese slice.
Tonight... I thumbed the end of the slice and folded it in half, the same way I have been doing since I was a little girl sitting with my father at the grungy pizza shops dotting Long Island. I heard the familiar crunch of a satisfyingly crispy crust. I took a bite without any extra fixings, just because I wanted to taste the unadulterated product. I have to say that while the crust was crispy and the cheese-sauce ratio was perfect, I do think the slice was a little on the bland side. These cheese and sauce were great, so I think the issue lies with the crust. Nothing a little red pepper and garlic could not fix.
Hubsky and I also split the eggplant rollotine. This reminded me of my mother's eggplant- the one she usually orders at Franco & Vinny's in Ft. Lauderdale (my mother in the kitchen? Ha!). Like I said before, anything with ricotta makes me happy. This was delicious. It came with a side of pasta- we got the penne at the cashier's suggestion. I'm pretty sure the pasta sauce and the pizza sauce are the same. Tasty.
We'll be back, but I might stick to fancier slices.
