Vinnie’s Pizzeria: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Vinnie’s Pizzeria sells meat pizza and vegan pizza side by side, and the menu gives vegan pies their own section. That makes it an easy stop for a mixed group on the corner of North 9th Street and Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg. The shop says it has served the neighborhood since 1960, and Coby Chafets and Adam Richardson took it over in the summer of 2024.

The vegan list is not an afterthought. Four named vegan specialty pies anchor it: T.hanks Vegan, which pairs vegan bbq chicken with red onion, Spicy Slicey with vegan buffalo chicken and jalapeno, The Luau with a vegan spare rib and pineapple, and Vodka Sausage with spicy vodka sauce, tofurkey sausage, vegan cheese, and basil. You can also build your own vegan pie in a small or large size, and a 12-inch gluten-free crust is on the menu as well. The vegan toppings include vegan spareribs, and a $1 note on the build-your-own list flags the toppings that come vegan.

Vegetarians who eat dairy have good choices too. Farmer’s Daughter layers garlicky spinach, mushrooms, feta, and sun dried tomato. White pie uses roasted garlic, ricotta, parm, and basil. Elote tops Mexican street corn with feta, Tajin, and cilantro, and Eggplant Parm uses breaded eggplant, marinara, ricotta, and parm. Dairy-based pies sit in one long list with the meat pies, and the menu does not label them as vegetarian, so read each description before you order.

Meat is easy to spot. The Parents carries pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, the Texan uses bbq chicken and bacon, and the Buffalo and Nacho pies lean on chicken. Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, meatballs, and chicken sit on the topping list too. That shared menu means a vegetarian is eating in a pizzeria that cooks meat, so ask the staff how they handle the vegan pies if you need a strict answer. Vinnie’s does not publish a statement about shared ovens or prep surfaces, and this profile leaves the kitchen notes blank for that reason.

Beyond pizza, the Other Stuff list gives you Vegan Drumsticks, which are four plant-based wings with a dipping sauce, a Vegan Pepperoni Wheel made with soy roni and vegan mozzarella in garlic herb oil, plus Caesar and House salads. Skip the Roni Wheel, a pepperoni pinwheel.

Specialty pies mostly list at $29 for a small and $38 for a large, and the vegan specialty pies run $30 and $39. A build-your-own cheese pie costs $23 small and $30 large, with the vegan version a dollar higher.

Plan around the hours. Vinnie’s opens Wednesday through Sunday and stays closed Monday and Tuesday. Friday and Saturday service runs until 2 a.m. You can order through the shop’s site, ChowNow, or Grubhub. Yelp shows reviews from the last week of October 2026, and its page listed the shop as open on the day we checked.

Go on a Friday night with a group that includes at least one vegan, order the Luau and the Farmer’s Daughter, and split a vegan drumstick order while the pies cook.
