Il Vicino’s thin-crusted, gourmet-topped pizzas are perennial favorites among Alibi readers, but the big salads are equally popular. Order at the register and a server brings the food to your table, making weekday lunches speedy. The open kitchen gives you something to stare at while you wait. Stop in for a quick lunch or a late afternoon microbrew at one of the sidewalk tables.

Blue cheese on the spinach salad?? [ Tue Mar 3 2009 3:49 PM ]

I swear the delicious spinach salads used to have more of a feta cheese. I hadn't eaten there in over a year and the blue cheese ruined the salad I used to love. They claim it was always a blue cheese though.

I take it you just don't like bleu cheese? [ Wed Mar 4 2009 1:01 PM ]

Cuz it goes well on a spinach salad. Or any old salad, really.

I hate bleu cheese [ Thu Mar 5 2009 11:19 AM ]

But on the spinach salad, it is amazing. Also, I believe it has always been bleu.

You can get them to substitute feta.
Down with rotten cheese.

i prefer feta [ Wed Mar 11 2009 2:25 PM ]

over blue cheese on salad.
also regarding the undercooked pizza thing. i think their pizzas are better with just a couple of toppings.
if you overload that is when they tend to be undercooked.

totino's party pizza [ Wed Mar 11 2009 2:35 PM ]

If you look at the boxes you'll see that the plain pepperoni variety has a cook time of 10 minutes, while the varieties with more toppings have a cook time of 13 or more. This would seem to support your theory on overloaded pizzas being undercooked.

Excellent Quality! [ Mon Apr 12 2010 1:02 PM ]

The ingredients are of excellent quality & authentic to Northern Italy, & so are worth the $8-$9 per pizza. The wood-fired brick oven is the best way to cook a pizza. The salads are great also. My favorite is their Caesar salad ~ the dressing is made fresh to order & is the best I've ever tasted. The espressos & cappucinos are made by baristas who have been trained to make it properly. The sidewalk tables are typically European ~ dine al fresco while watching Nob Hill shoppers strolling past & people rolling by on Central Ave. (Rt. 66). Love the late night hours ~ one of Albuquerque's rare eateries that's open past 9 pm!

Don't forget the new Westside location [ Mon Apr 12 2010 3:42 PM ]

in the same shopping center as Sunflower Market on 528 near Corrales. This one seems to be just as good as the Nob Hill one, and even a little bigger with more space for both indoor and outdoor dining. For the quality of food you get, the prices are beyond reasonable.
