Vincent's Pizza Park - Irwin, PA

 Friday 6/24/11

Vincent's Pizza Park is located on Route 30 in Irwin.  There are several Vincent's around Pittsburgh.  From what I have been told, they are all independently owned, but all do pizza in the style of the original Vincent's.  I will try the Vincent's in Forest Hills sometime so I can compare them for myself.  Vincent's has a huge reputation as Pittsburgh's best pizza, so I was eager to try it for myself.

The crust was decent.  It was a bit more cooked than I would like.  It almost had a pretzel like taste to it.  It is really hard to judge the sauce, as they barely put any on, or because it was all absorbed into the cheese.  If I wasn't looking for the sauce, I wouldn't have really given it a thought because there was enough grease on the pizza that it didn't have a dry taste to it.  They use a ton of cheese.  I am not sure if it is because of the amount of cheese, the type of cheese, or the quality/brand of cheese, but I feel the taste comes off as something I have had at many gas stations.  Overall, I was a bit let down and feel it is hyped up.  It is a decent pizza, and if you like greasy and cheesy pizza, then this place is worth trying.

          Crust: 6.5/10
          Sauce: 6/10
          Toppings: 6.5/10
          Overall: 6.5/10
