“First time here. I had a take out, and I ordered the spaghetti. Its very basic, and the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle, no favor, and the noobles needed salt. I only eat what I could, and threw out the rest in the garbage. As for the restaurant itself, it needs be renovated. Looks like an old pizza hut from the 80's.“

“We make going to Swain’s a must do when we vacation at Oak Island. Sometime twice. The Shrimp and Grits are spectacular. The homemade potato chips with ranch dressing is the perfect way to start the meal. The blackened scallops melt in your mouth and explode with flavor. And all of the desserts are over the top. It’s the best place to dine on seafood on the island. You won’t regret it.“

“Went on a recommendation and glad I did. I can't explain it exactly but this pizza made me feel nostalgic. Excellent all the way around. Generous with everything. The sauce slightly sweet and perfect. I had a pepperoni and sausage slice. Can't wait to have a fresh pie. They are heavy handed with the cheese so let them know if you dont want a lot of cheese. Seems like their baseline is my vision of extra cheese. Still I'll ne driving happily from downtown to scratch my pizza itch. Very good.“

“Vinny’s is our go to for pizza on the island. Kori and her team are always on point!“

“Our weekly favorite. The two piece special and Greek Salad.“

“I drive from Raleigh for a walk on the beach and pizza here. It's that good. Way better than all the alleged NY style pizzeria's. Anywhere on the planet if you order a slice it gets reheated for you. Do you really expect them to make you a slice from scratch? Go to Pizza The Hutt for a personal pizza that tastes like cardboard with tomato juice.“

“we ordered a large pie garlic knots and salad and were very pleased. the garlic knots are massive and the pizza was full of flavor. one of the only places in ten days of eating out that has fresh greens in the salad so props for that“
