Vinny McGuire's: Reviews & Ratings
Our go to place for pizza in Destin! Service is always top notch. Breadsticks are unreal with some of the best marinara I’ve ever had. Pizza crust is not too thin, not too thick. Just perfect. Matter of fact, I’m about to place an order to go!
This is by far the best pizza I have ever had. We eat here every time we come to Destin. It is delicious every time. We will be back.
Very good pizza- especially for Florida!! And the cheese sticks! Holy mackerel the cheese sticks! Beat I’ve ever had!!! Kelsie was amazing and just made our experience even better! So friendly and makes fabulous drinks! Will be back for sure!
Absolutely fantastic - next to the Irish pub, that we'll have to come back to try, is a ridiculously delicious pizza place - perfectly crispy, chewy crust - just exceptional. Currently sitting outside listening to the live music coming down from the space upstairs & enjoying possibly the best pizza I've had in my 44 years on this earth.
This was a very fun experience. I like the way you get to create your own pizzas with the way they designed the menu. I tried Mozzarella, Feta, and Bacon and it was amazing! The staff was extremely nice and helpful and the restaurant itself is just something cool to experience. Outside they have a walk up bar so you can have a drink while you wait for a table. They always seem to be busy so it's great they give you something to do and a place to hang while you wait. For sure try this place!
Every pizza pie I gotten from here has been really good. You get 3 free toppings so on my last pizza I got extra cheese & prime rib & was so delish. The slices are like huge new york style. However, I think their dough needs a little work.....or at least pop some butter & garlic salt on the crust would set the pizza off. Anyways, I do that when I get home & pop it in the oven.
Ask for Lulu! She is awesome! I was looking at the menu outside and she happened to be coming out, carrying a tray full of plates and she stopped and said, You wanna eat pizza? Instant good vibe! Talk about friendly and nice! I had some questions and she had no problem giving me answers! We did have a seat and ordered the pizza, which was You Choose Your Pizza. First 3 toppings for free! I have to tell you, McGuire's is a huge entity, within itself! There's the Irish Pub, the wine cellar, the whiskey and wine gift shop, Vinny McGuire, and McGuire Sushi!! Okay, so back to the pizza. The kids ordered a half and half pizza, large. Full plate with jalapenos, one half mushrooms and the other half pepperoni. They said it was delicious. For the husband and I, we wanted to try the Ruben egg rolls, so the husband went over to the McGuire's Irish Pub, placed an order and brought them over to the table. Boy, I see why they are popular! Basically, a Ruben sandwich, but in an egg roll! Very good and I would definitely order them again, and that's all we had! It was plenty for the husband and I. I would definitely recommend coming to any shop of McGuire's. The service received from Lulu was wonderful, the food was good and it was a beautiful day to be outside!
Pizza was some of the best ever. Parking is hard because of being crowded and the low lighting makes it feel dingy. Obvious in pictures posted. Wouldn't eat inside again solely due to lighting but would take it to go or eat outside in better weather

Located in the vibrant surroundings of Destin, Florida, Vinny McGuire's is not just another pizza place—it's a culinary gem that has captured the hearts of both locals and visitors alike. Nestled at 29 Harbor Blvd, this bustling eatery serves up an array of delicious dishes that elevate the pizza experience to new heights.
From the moment you step in, the atmosphere buzzes with energy. Patrons rave about the exceptional service that complements the delightful menu. As one customer, Cade Anglin, puts it, "Service is always top notch." That statement truly resonates throughout the restaurant, making the dining experience memorable. With every visit, you can expect warm smiles and attentive staff eager to enhance your meal.
The real stars of the show, however, are the pizzas. The crust strikes the perfect balance—neither too thin nor too thick—creating a canvas for quality toppings. Linda Thurman describes it as "the best pizza I have ever had," highlighting the consistent excellence you'll find here. Whether you opt for a classic or decide to create your own masterpiece like Bobby Cone did—a delectable combination of mozzarella, feta, and bacon—every bite is a testament to Vinny’s commitment to quality and flavor.
But it doesn't end with pizza. The breadsticks have earned their rightful place in customer affection as well, often accompanied by a marinara sauce that is nothing short of divine. As Cade notes, they are "unreal," and the flavor keeps diners coming back. Then there are the cheese sticks, which have impressed patrons like Kelly, who exclaimed, “Holy mackerel, the cheese sticks!” They add a delightful cheesy experience to the menu and serve to reinforce the notion that Vinny McGuire's excels in comfort food.
Dining here also comes with a lively ambiance, often accompanied by live music wafting down from upstairs, creating a wonderful backdrop for enjoying fantastic food. Rebecca Nabors captures this essence well, sharing her immense enjoyment while relishing her pizza outdoors. It’s a blend of flavors and sounds that crafts a unique dining experience.
In summary, if you're in the Destin area, Vinny McGuire's is a must-visit destination. It stands out not just for its top-quality pizza, but also for its vibrant atmosphere, great service, and a diverse menu that ensures everyone walks away satisfied. As Bobby mentions, the restaurant is always "busy" for good reason, so why not make your visit and discover if it lives up to the rave reviews? Your taste buds will surely thank you.
