Simply the best! I was back in town, I used to live a few blocks away, and moved out of state 13 yrs ago and EVERYTHING is exactly as I remember. So good to be back, VIP has The Best Pizza, they are friendly, put tons of toppings, and it’s an excellent loc. I will always visit when in town.
VI PIZZA is such an amazing place! A Bayside institution that has been serving up the best pizza in town for DECADES. I love it here. Staff is friendly even when they are busy, and the variety of pizza styles in outstanding. For me the Margerita Pizza is the king of all pizza in Queens NY, and the Grandma is a very close runner up! Im proud to be a regular. They also have a VEGAN slice PACKED with Vegetables and this is such a nice change of pace from everything being meat focused like some
I really wanted to give this more stars for the actual service and speed since they were quick and kind but I can’t. The pizza is overpriced so you are expected a thicker or at least higher quality ingredients in the pizza. But it had an odd semi burnt taste kinda like they brunt the crust the taste was definitely off,not to mention it’s already ridiculously thin crust. Also the margarita pizza specifically had a certain cheese that basically tastes low fat and wasn’t even fully melted the sauce
