I don’t eat lunch at Vinnie’s every day, but it’s close. The current owners opened about the time I moved to the neighborhood in 2007, and they have have wonderfully punny daily specials, including ones that go viral. So I can grab a slice for lunch repeatedly without it ever feeling repetitive. Here’s a 100 of my favorites.

slice

The Avocado Quesadilla slice

The slice that hooked me. I was walking by on Cinco de Mayo and this was the special. It sounded ridiculous and delicious and I had to try it. Since then I've been a regular. It’s still my favorite regularly occurring special. Avocado, corn chips, pico de gallo, and a sour cream drizzle.

The San Junipearo slice!

Sliced pears, veggie bacon, fresh kale, roasted red pepper, herbed goat cheese, and honey drizzle. (They made me a veggie bacon version.) Stellar Special Board!

slice

Cinco de Mayo slice

Black beans, mixed peppers, flour tortilla, guacamole, creme fraiche, and a garlic butter crust. Delicious.

slice

Caramelized grapefruit, grape tomatoes, baby arugula, sliced avocado, and poppy seed dressing. I don't normally do Vinnie’s on the weekend, but today's special was too awesome to skip. So good I had seconds.

slice

The Extra Cheesy Extra Crispy slice!

The circles are pan fried cheese. The result is like a pizza topped with the best part of a grilled cheese sandwich (the cheese that oozes out and gets crispy in the pan)! Genius!
