Editorial Review for Vincente's Gourmet Pizza and the V-Room – by Rachel Bellacera
In Short
Families and hipsters alike crowd into the booths to enjoy the comfortable, lively atmosphere. It's the pizzas that really steal the show here: The Pollo BBQ combines tender barbecued chicken with soft chevre cheese, onions, mushrooms and cilantro for a mouthwatering pie. The Cordon Bleu mixes wine-marinated chicken with Canadian bacon and smoked mozzarella. One star veggie option--the Mad Italian--puts mushrooms, artichoke hearts, olives and fontina cheese atop a basil pesto base.

An early weekday lunch led me to find Vincente's. When I attempted a visit to the Mcmenamins down the street and found it closed, I decided to give this pizza joint a try. Once I sat down and heard the special I was a bit skeptical, as walnuts are not exactly my idea of a great pizza topping, but once I saw their beer selection and had a slice of pie in front of me, I was a believer. Their crust is a wonderfully thin, crispy and sweet piece of heaven - just substantial enough to support the toppings, but thin enough to fold well, with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The pizza was piping hot and not loaded down with a thick layer of sauce like most pizzas. On my visit, I ordered up a pitcher of an old favorite, the Alameda Black Bear Stout. I was unaware that you could find any of Alameda's brews anywhere other than Alameda, but the server informed me that they do have a distribution deal. Once I was finished, I wandered over to their beer cooler, which houses some great brews that can be somewhat hard to find in town. After mulling over the selection, I walked out with two bottles of Pelican Pub and Brewery's award winning India Pelican Ale. Our server, whose name I didn't get, was extremely friendly and helpful, going so far as having a chat with me about the fact that they sell Schlitz Ice 40oz bottles, something I found both astonishing and brilliant. Overall, Vincente's is well worth a try for anyone who enjoys truly exceptional pizza, top-quality beer and service second to none.
Pros: beer selection, pizza crust, friendly staff, location
Cons: none

Potatoes are my favorite food staple... Add them to a pizza... True heaven! Their pizza dough is great, quite authentic tasting pies. But I would get the pizza to go, or sit outside on the sidewalk... The service is okay but the inside gets stuffy in the summer months...
Pros: Variety
