I've been going to Vincents since 1976 and my parents went there when they were dating. I usually go to the Plum Boro location (up on the hill behind Burger King) however I prefer the Forest Hills location. I still remember Vince covered with flour tossing pies in the air with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Forest Hills location used to have an hour or more wait Friday and Saturday nights but you waited because it was the best pizza you could find anywhere. No longer, when Vince franchised out and quit working the store, the quality and consistency went downhill fast. I still go to both outlets when I'm in the area but I no longer drive over an hour just to get a pie. The service is bad at both locations but good customer service as a standard business practice no longer exists in most retail businesses. The Plum Boro outlet is more family friendly than the Forest Hills location but Forest Hills has better pizza. The ingredients are still consistant but the assembly of the pie's and amount of each topping has dropped. At both locations your pie will either be overcooked or undercooked (overcooked is better). Both locations as a rule have better pizza's than we have in Indiana Pa. Even with over 10 pizza shops in a college town, the best pizza we can get is still Vincent's, although I do make a pretty good pizza myself at home. But if you are looking for a good pizza and are in the area, give Vincent's a try.
