The service was excellent and the atmosphere was inviting and welcoming. I got a half chees half pepperoni pizza and it was amazing. The sauce was a bit sweet but still savory and the toppings were excellent. You can watch the staff making your pizza and putting it into the wood fired oven. There’s plenty of indoor seating as well as on the patio. Overall a great experiemce and definitely worth the trip.

We love pizza and in Birmingham, it can be hard to find authentic Italian pizza. We came for a pizza class and had a fabulous experience. It was clean, well organized and so much fun. We enjoyed getting to learn a new skill and can’t wait to come back.

Atmosphere is the best part. The service is okay. The young severs are actually the most accommodating and nicest.
*Pizza Margherita 5/10 has to ask for a Sauce to make it better.
*Spinach and artichoke dip 9.5/10 !

So, this was hands down just not for me. I brought two people with me, making it a total of three of us to try this pizza. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, and man, was it disappointing. The dough was cooked perfectly, but other than that, everything seemed to go wrong. For a pepperoni pizza, there were only about five slices of pepperoni on it I might as well have ordered a cheese pizza. The sauce was super watery, to the point where I was basically drinking it. The cheese was pretty good, but a bit too strong for my taste when it comes to pizza, and it definitely overpowered everything else, and the pizza in general was floppy and everything was just falling off.

Like I said, it’s not for me. And for a 41-minute drive to get here, I wouldn’t personally find it worth my time ever again. But if you’re ever in the area, go ahead and check this place out.

Oh I’d like to add the place is really cool looking on the outside and inside. I loved seeing the wood fired ovens.

Tried out Vecchia for lunch today. Located in the Moss Rock area of Hoover it was a little out of the way for us, but was recommended by a friend.

At first glance, from the outside, I thought that this might be a nice place. Upon entrance I was shuttled down a narrow hallway lined with drinks and wines to a cashiers desk. We placed our order and served ourselves bottled drinks, from a cooler behind us.

The prices for a 10 oz pie were $18 so I was hoping for a great find in wood fired pizza for our area.

We then went around the corner to a very table cluttered dining area. After noticing that if you asked for water that it was “self serve” from a high school style water fountain in plastic cups. No wait staff roomed the area, only the cashier and the two cooks.

When the pizza arrived it was fresh out of the wood fired oven. Nice char in spots but the bottom was still a little under cooked. I ordered the classic pepperoni but had to search to find said toppings. Scarce and unevenly distributed.

Then came the bite; the tip of my slice was soggy and limp. No crunch. The bone was nice and crisp with good flavor. The red tomato sauce was bland at best, no spices, I ended up adding salt to my slice to help the flavor. Cheese was thin but nice flavor and pull.

I looked for Parmesan, but had to go to the water fountain to find the powdered cheese shaker. (No fresh Parmesan available)

Nothing was on the tables but a beer bucket with plastic utensils and off brand napkins.

For what was told to me was a true Italian pizzeria I was disappointed. Pizza wasn’t bad but could have been so much better with some
spices and flavor. And charging these prices I would expect some wait staff and fountain drinks. (Ditch the high school water fountain).

Establishment was clean and staff was nice. Food was OK, maybe even good had it been a lower price point. But Vecchie has some loyal followers and it was busy for that time of day, so others must enjoy it.

Overall 3.5 stars!

Loved the location and atmosphere, it is very cozy and feels authentic. They had a jazz band playing and it made the night! They were amazing!!
We started with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip and Antipasti Platter. Both were good, but I didn’t like the tortilla chips that came with the dip, it was much better with the crostini from the Antipasti Platter.
The Capriccosa Pizza was good but not great, I would try something else for sure if I come back.
We tried the bread pudding and both flavors of Cannoli. The bread pudding is so sweet and warm, it was great! The Cannoli are good as well.

Both the service and food is excellent every time I come here. The pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven which makes it even better! Would highly recommend!
