About us

Vic's sets the standard for authentic, old-world, Italian cuisine & New York style pizza. Owner Mario Longo has been serving guests his family recipes for nearly 30 years.

In 1998 he opened Vic’s in Downtown Raleigh's Historic City Market, converting a simple pizzeria into a cozy, family-friendly restaurant loved by locals and visitors.

In March 2016, Vic's opened its second location on Lake Boone Trail to serve even more of the local community we love.
