Uncle Vinny Sure Knows How To Make Pizza

The Tuesday Lunch was without one of its primary members this week, but the Tuesday Lunch is not about one man, so it went on as scheduled.
This week's stop was a new place in town, Uncle Vinny's Pizza over in Sparks. This place just opened the doors last week and the grand opening is slated for next week (once they get the liquor license and all that jazz). But its clear that this place knows what it is doing, at least for the lunch crowd.
Having sampled all of the area pizza buffets in town, Uncle Vinny's immediately goes to the top of the list. They had four pies available at all times, along with streak fries and some of the cheesiest, greasiest (translation = best) garlic bread I've ever had. The salad bar was solid -- it's my kind of salad bar when, instead of the fake processed bacon bits, there is actually a tub of real bacon pieces.
Vanilla Gold especially like the Hawaiian Pizza at Vinny's. There was another pie there that had chicken on it and what seemed to be ranch dressing as the sauce. Not sure what it was, but it was solid.
And the price is right -- $6.99 for the all-you-can-eat.
I have to wonder about the location, however. Uncle Vinny's is going to draw a nice lunch crowd from the area businesses but it is lacking proximity to any real residential area. I hope it works out for them because I think they have a fine operation. I feel the same way for Big Guy's Pizza way out on Red Rock Road off 395. Those guys might just have the best pizza in Reno, but can they survive out there? They've been around for nearly a year now, so hopefully that is a good sign.
So that brings up a question. Who has the best pie in town? I have to put Big Guy's up there alongside the longtime favorite J.J.'s Pie Company. Uncle Vinny's debuts in the top five, along with Pub-n-Sub and the Sicilian pie at Nu Yalk Pizza. I think I still have J.J.'s in the top spot right now but I reconsider that with every trip to Big Guy's. Those are the clear-cut top two, in the humble opinion of Johnny Blue.
