Our History

It all started in 1978 with a 15-year-old named Dave Collins who began working as a dishwasher and had a vision of becoming a restaurateur. Dave worked his way up through The Original Graziano’s Pizza Company in Southern California. After working 10 years for the company in several cities he met his eventual wife and now business partner Carmen in the Mojave restaurant. In 1991 the Lancaster location became available for sale. Dave & Carmen took a gamble and bought the struggling pizzeria, often working 80 hours a week each, dedicating themselves to customer service and quality food. You’ll still find them working today at the restaurant as well as occasionally with their 3 children. Vince’s soon became a staple in the local community with families, schools, and youth sports teams across the valley.

Within a few years, the small pizzeria had become the local hangout; it was often overcrowded on the weekends, with lines forming outside the restaurant and guests waiting to dine. Dave and Carmen knew they had to expand and grow as a business. By 1996, they bought another struggling pizzeria on the east side of Lancaster, and also opened a site in the city of Palmdale in 2000. Next up was their biggest and most challenging project: relocating or expanding the original store on Ave. L. After 4 years of saving, planning and building, they moved into an 18,000 sq ft. former Rite Aid drugstore located within the same shopping center. This new location would provide seating for over 400 guests and allow for games, prizes, sports and birthday party rooms: all of the things the smaller store was incapable of, and exactly what the community was wanting.
