  Probably the best pizza since moving back East from San Francisco. Crispy and delicious!

  We started going here over 20 years ago, and for some reason took a break.
  We decided one night to give them a break and dine in. We started off with garlic bread with cheese.
  I ordered chicken Parmesan meal and my husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was breaded not grilled. Still ok, food was tasted well, since we dined in, we expected to be served as diners, for what we were paying and since we need to leave a tip. They are losing points for serving is our entire meal on paper plates, can't remember if we received plastic fork and knives.
  Recommend when you have people dining in your restaurant, treat them as real first and serve them there food with respect for the hard work it took you to cook it.  .

  OMG THEY DELIVER!!!
  The two times I've ordered, I've gotten an 18 inch pepperoni pie and an order of garlic bread. The food is decent - not earth-shattering, but pretty good - but the fact that they bring it to my door is so amazing. I grew up in NYC and was able to get food delivered constantly, but out here, the only delivery I know of is Vincent's and Dominos. Dominos is not worth it, but Vincent's totally is!  I really like the garlic bread, and my son enjoys the pizza.
  To compare to the other local pizzerias: I think it's on par with Mikes or Spinellis as far as flavor goes, with the added convenience of being brought straight to your door.
  FYI: You may wait quite a while for your order. Be patient. Don't forget to tip your driver!

  Original Vincent's is your average "Pizza shop" with other Italian fare on the menu. Sitting in a plaza in Effort, nearly invisible from the road, is this place. Unassuming and not obvious, the entrance does little to invite patrons in. The interior is outdated and seems a bit tired. The seating is sufficient for a family, but is not all-together comfortable. The staff often seems preoccupied and not particularly interested in pleasantries.
  
  The menu is fairly diverse, and clearly Italian-American centered. The food... Pizza is flavorful although it's usually adorned with a pond of grease sitting atop the pie. The crust is average, not seasoned and overall pretty bland. The sauce is good, but nothing to write home about.
  
  I really want to give this restaurant higher marks for some reason, but I won't. Too many items say "I'm tired".

  Ordered a ham calzone. Waited almost an hour. Charged $7.40, no ham in calzone. Terrible. Hope they go out of business.
