    Disclaimer: I am sure the food is wonderful if you eat meat, milks, eggs etc! But I am reviewing this restaurant as someone with dietary requirements and allergies. I eat a vegan diet. Short of it: they don't understand their own menu and ingredients, and I wasted 45 minutes feeling really hungry waiting for a meal, and then had to go elsewhere. Long version: When I sat down, I asked the waitress if they offer any vegan options. She said they have plenty, and began to list them off. I ordered pizza first, and then a while later she came back to explain that she thinks there might be dairy in the base. I'm allergic to dairy and asked her to double check. She did, and there was dairy in the base. She reminded me of a few other options, and the owner (I assume? An older man) came over to try and help I guess. This cycle continued a few times, where I ordered something else because after I ordered, they would come back to tell me how there was actually milk or something in the food. It was disappointing, because a business should know the food they are selling. I don't think it was a big ask, and I would have been more than happy to go elsewhere! It's why I asked almost immediately if they could cater for me. After 45 minutes, the waitress said they don't actually have any vegan options and I left. Either don't advertise falsely, or have a clear understanding of the ingredients in your foods, and what you can cater for.

    Terrible Terrible Terrible - It took two hours for our pizza to arrive when it finally did it was stone cold. When I asked to speak to the manager we were told we were rude. Zero accountability! We pretty much order a pizza every week and we were treated like this.

    Probably the best pizza I have had in Victoria. More to try but they set a very high standard

    Take away menu is fantastic as pizza & pasta goes. Dining in extremely pretentious & pricey for what you get - pizza, pasta in a licensed restaurant. Not suitable with young families on a budget. Choose to take away as an option.

    I ordered a barbeque chicken pizza from Vinnies to be delivered 5 mins down the road. I waited over an hour for it to be delivered. The pizza was missing nearly all of its ingredients. I only received the base of the pizza and some chicken sprinkled on top. Will never order from here again.

    For the most part, Vinnie's Mt Eliza is usually generally good, except some days delivery pickup where you have young employees in there that don't seem to care and can't exhibit even basic customer service skills. Food for pickup often cold even when collected right on time, and lacking flavour and substance. Save your money if buying the Bruschetta. It's NOT worth it. See pics below of the Bruschetta. Abismal, cold, tasteless and a waste of money!

    Always great food. I usually get take away. First time I’ve eaten in. Was there with the local Lions Club members. Good service and prices are fair.

    Have ordered from here before and Pizza's were good. I live 5 mins drive from restaurant. This time, tonight absolutely awful (via menulog) - base wasnt cooked. - toppings were just slapped on it in clumps. - cold - soggy I can say, this is the worst pizza I have ever ordered in Melbourne. I rang them up, and they just said sorry. With that attitude, wont be ordereing from them again. I'm a Mt Eliza local, you have lost a customer.

    1.5 hours wait for delivery for cold pizza. Echoing another person, it's pretty bad they can't deliver a hot pizza, much less a barely warm one Just an addition. I contacted Vinnies via messenger, and still nothing as to where things went belly up. Also, be aware that shrinkflation has happened here. The toppings start about an inch from the crust edge, so a medium pizza has the topping of a small ( and not much of that either). For the first time, I'd be saying Domino's is better in all respects.

    Lovely and homely restaurant, great for families. Delicious and unpretentious food, full of fresh flavours. Portion errs on the small side, so if you're hungry better to order more rather than less. Personally I thought the pastas and calamari we ordered were better than the pizza. Calamari was so fresh, I really didn't want to share it with the table!

    Had my 60th birthday at Vinnies, oh my goodness what a wonderful, wonderful night, place looked amazing, staff were amazing, food was amazing, exceeded expectations! Would not hesitate in recommending this venue and Tony's team to anyone. Thank you again all so very much for making my night so fantastic, guests are still raving about it.

    The food here is phenomenal. They put in so much effort you can tell they truly love their jobs. Working my way through their menu and yet to be disappointed.

    Moroccan Beef pizza was super tasty! Pizza was ready when I got there - no delays and friendly service.

  • 4/5 Rod F. 11 months ago on Google
    Service was really amazing. More than happy with the food & presentation. The 3 staff serving a large table, 3 generations really ‘pulled’ it off.

    Lovely atmosphere and friendly service . I had mushroom and truffle oil pasta and it was one of the best pasta dishes in a very long time . Definitely going back.

    Vinnies ... the best tasting pizza around, the base just right, good variety, the ingredients balanced tasty fresh and cooked pizza perfect every time. Delicious 😋

    Great pizza, great owner, great staff. When you say local businesses supporting the community you must start with Vinnies. This is a guy who cares about the village.

    Absolutely awesome food. Seriously outstanding . We were just passing by and had the luck of walking into the place. So well done!!!!

    Consistently delicious pizza and good quality. However there seems to be problem with their menulog, we pressed remove olives from the pizza but after order it came up with “+olives” instead of removing them the pizza had extra olives. Not whoever was making the pizzas fault but something to perhaps look into with menulog.

    Poor delivery service as pizzas were left on veranda and didn’t even knock on the front door. Pizzas were cold. Very disappointing. Would not do this again

    Ordered a margarita pizza, the most basic pizza any joint can make. Doesn’t say anything about a chilli tomato sauce. So ruined the pizza due to me and my partner hating spice. Get a hard ball losers

    Lady owner was very rude to the employees and customers, pizza is good but wait time was longer than given
