“Went for a nice lunch with my boyfriend. We were helped for the most part by a manager named Joe, and he was PHENOMENAL. He made the experience 10/10 and was very attentive. We were both very impressed with the service he provided and he was very kind.“

“Best pizza spot in town!!“

“Finally tried this restaurant out and dam it’s good and people were really friendly, food tasted fresh and the price is reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to try some other dishes, I rarely get impressed but her “gravy” sauce we had with the ravioli was very good… we had to take dessert to go because we were full so looking forward to that but give this place a chance it was def worth it will be better with a glass of wine or cold beer but that’s coming can’t wait to try again…..“

“The surface was excellent our waitress Kelli went above and beyond. I love the Caesar salad not too much dressing and good flavor. The Shrimp Alla Vodka was good, but not a lot of flavor in the sauce. My husband had the Bolognese which was very good but he prefers it on Angel hair pasta. Overall it was a great experience and the waitress was very good.“

“This pizza place truly stands out for its quality and taste. The crust was perfectly baked, crispy outside and soft inside. The sauce had a rich flavor, and the toppings were fresh and generously layered. Service was quick, and the team was friendly and welcoming. The cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. A perfect spot to enjoy delicious pizza anytime!“

“We had a birthday party for my son at Pinehurst Pizza today. I was wowed by the experience on every level. Not only are the owners and staff the most friendly, nice people I’ve ever met, they went above and beyond to make the kids feel so welcome - and even treated them to a few prizes from the machines :) Additionally, it was super clean, the food was excellent, and the service (I have to say again) was A++. Thank you Pinehurst Pizza!!! 🍕 A true community gem!“

“On 12/18/25 I placed a takeout order for a Sicilian pepperoni pizza. Upon arrival for pick-up, I received excellent customer service from counter associate AMY who completed the purchase transaction quickly and efficiently. Subsequently I received the pizza after a very short wait, at the time stated during the phone order. When I arrived home, we served the pizza to our guests and it was delicious, although I also think a bit pricey. Not thrilled that they don’t accept credit cards. Overall however, we were pleased with this takeout experience at Vito’s Pizzeria of Pinehurst in Aberdeen, NC!“

I really don't think there's one bad thing I could say. they did accidentally get one of our pizzas mixed up with another BUT they quickly fixed the issue & were super nice. they didn't have any attitude about the mix up either VERY straight forward with honesty! we'll absolutely be visiting again, soon! prices are affordable too, with having deals.“
