Having just moved down the street, we get carry out pizza at this place fairly often. Â I really like the sweetness if the sauce and the taste of the dough. Â Huzzah!
Because we've had such good experiences with the pizza, we decided to try their "real" food there...HUGEMONGOUS MISTAKE. Â In their defense we were there at about 9, which is usually a bit late for a dinner crowd. Â Maybe the cooks weren't used to cooking anything but pizzas? Â I ordered the French Onion Soup. Â Salty and 80% of my bowl was filled with unmelted mozzarella cheese. Â A huge clump of it. Â Weird. Â I like cheese and I couldn't even eat it. Â I also ordered the toasted ravioli. Â It wasn't the same ravioli I remember them serving and wasn't served with their pizza sauce, but with what tasted like jar marinara. Â Bummer.
Friendlies ordered a Philly cheesesteak, which they were out of. Â A French Dip (that looked like a Philly cheesesteak without toppings and came with au jus that was definitely French onion soup complete with onions in the bottom) and a bacon cheese burger...which was the only thing that was done right.
We waited about 20 minutes to have our drink order taken...another 20 or so to receive our drinks and have our food order taken...and almost another hour to get our food and didn't have our drinks replenished once. Â The waitress brought out one plate of food and said the rest was ready, but nobody would help her bring it out. Â We said something along the lines of "heh...okay" and gave each other the "WTF" look. Â
The food finally made it's way to the table, but she forgot to bring utensils, condiments and sides of dressing and napkins that we had asked for. Â Oh and more beer. Â Probably slipped her mind while she was up near the bar dancing with some people. Â We finally get everything we requested, ate, waited another 15 minutes or so for boxes. Â Another 10 to get our bill and didn't bother giving her a credit card or large bill because who knows how long it would have taken her to figure that out. Â
After sharing this experience with a number of friends that have visited this establishment, I've learned that it was nothing personal and they don't discriminate when it comes to shitty service...IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE!
One friendly even said they asked to speak to a manager. Â The owner was sent over and they were henceforth treated like dirt. Â Nothing was comped and no apologies took place. Â Good to see at least the owner knows how to handle issues properly!
All in all, I suggest you stick to carry out pizza, people! (and don't get too picky about it!)
I've been to Vito's several times - occasionally for pizza, but mostly to have drinks and listen to the bands that play there. Last weekend, I went to Vito's for a friend's birthday party. The beer is reasonably priced, and they have Cherry Wheat on tap (my favorite). The wait staff is quick and efficient. The pizza is good (they have a deal on Tuesdays) - lots of cheese, and good toppings.
It's a little loud - they have the room divided into two sections - a dining section with the bar, dining tables, and the pool table; the other side with the stage area, a small dance floor, and long tables to watch the entertainment. Overall, I've never had a bad time there; I'd go back.
