This guy is all over the walls and tables, posing in snapshots with celebrities and politicians: over here he is patting Gary Oldman's face like a beloved nephew, over there, mean-mugging along with Nas.
I ordered (not from Vinny himself) what I thought was a Sicilian slice, but was corrected "You mean the Grandma slice?".
"Guy!", I thought, "I don't care who made it! Gimme what I'm pointing at and I'll hand you money."
Interestingly, I've heard that the best Grandma pizza in Williamsburg is not at Vinny Vella's, but at Driggs Pizza, which is about 3 blocks away. That means that including Ana Maria's in my living room and Fornino down Bedford, there are at least four places that are making not just good, but very good pizza within 5 minutes of my doorstep. That's is more very good Pizza then can be found in most U.S. states!
BTW, I usually leave the Pizza coverage to Nick Sherman's Pizza Rules! Blog. I can't match his monomaniacal focus on the stuff, what with my interest in other kinds of "food".
