While I'm sorry to see them go, I acknowledge that non-payment of rent is a serious problem. http://www.post-gazette.c...za-park-closes-636508/

Some might opine that Vincent's has never been the same since you could order a pizza without cigarette ash, but it certainly was a distinctive part of Forest Hills.

My brother always joked about getting 'extra ash'.

You had to hold it just right in the car if you got it to go, as there was no box, just cardboard wrapped in white butcher-type paper.

The pizza in North Huntigdon (Irwin) was never as good as Forest Hills.

Vincent's of Greentree is still open and I like their pizza, too.

Very sad news. Their sausage pies were the best. If you dined in at Vincents, you always saved your crust to sop up the "juice" in the middle of the pie. We would fight for it as it lay there on the metal baking pan.
The place went downhill after Vinnie's death. Does anybody know if piemaker Dave was part of the new ownership?

RIP Vincents. You shall be missed. You were worth driving through TWO TUNNELS for a Vinnie Pie!!!!

Check this Post Gazette article for the latest news. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/vinnies-daughter-regains-control-of-pizza-park-real-estate-637054/ Hopefully Vincent's daughter will be able to clear these hurdles and reopen the store soon.
