Located at
61 Main Street in Millburn, Vinnie’s Brick Oven Pan Pizza offers pizza and
Italian dishes. It is open from 11-8 Sunday and Tuesday-Thursday, 11-9 Saturday
and Sunday, and closed on Monday. Online ordering is available.
I promised
my wife that we would find good pizza during a trip to New Jersey, and after a
bit of searching, Vinnie’s seemed like it would be able to deliver. It’s a
small spot – two tables inside, two tables outside – but the stacks of empty
pizza boxes mark it as a popular one. They do sixteen-inch pies here (sorry, no
slices) as well as sandwiches, pastas, and wings. After describing what we were
looking for in a pizza, the young man at the counter suggested the Gramps
(sweet Italian sausage, hot cherry pepper, and onions) with olives added, and
we were sold.
Fifteen
minutes later, we were digging into a glorious pie. The crust was thin without
being floppy or greasy. The sauce and cheese were both high quality. The
peppers added a nice burst of heat. Cheap it was not (upper $20s after the additional
topping), but there are some things you can’t put a price on, and a sublimely
delicious pizza is one of them.
Truthfully,
I’m not back up North often enough to say how well Vinnie’s stacks up against
other Union County pizza options (I grew up on Cioffi’s), but compared to much
of what I’m used to in the Tarheel State (where good pizza is good often by
virtue of innovative toppings), it more than holds its own.
