Vincent's is a well known spot in Lynbrook, located on the shopping strip of Atlantic Ave. between Merrick Rd. and Sunrise Highway. During the afternoon, countermen serve groups of twos and threes that flow in and out of the doors. Lynbrook High School students often enjoy the quick walk down the block to grab a slice as well. At night, Vincent's staff waits on families sitting down for entrees and pasta specials. It's very much an all around Italian Restaurant.

Today I was able to meet with a few countermen, Rudy and John, just before the afternoon rush arrived. The first thing I notced was the cleanliness of the restaurant. Tables were being cleaned the moment after a customer got up, each and every time. The second thing that stood out was the variety of pizza. They might have the most beautiful display of pizza I ever laid eyes on. John quickly declared the Christina slice as the most popular. However, Rudy saw the Margarita as the most delicious so I had to taste both.

Popular Slice: Christina, Margarita

Price: $3.00, $2.50

The Christina slice is a crunchy garlic bread covered with fresh mozzarella, thickly cut. Thick tomatoes are also layered over the top. The Margarita slice is very different from any other I've ever tasted. First, it's square like a grandma slice but it's covered in a spicy marinara sauce. It is then topped off with a melted layer of fresh mozzarella. I'd have to go with Rudy on the Margarita slice here. It was definitely something I've never tasted.

My Rating: 9/10
