Vip Pizza Information

VIP Pizza at 34988 Hammerhead Rd Suite A, Vinita, OK 74301 is a casual waterfront pizza stop at Hammerhead Marina in Ketchum Cove on Grand Lake. Its biggest draw is the combination of hearty, generously topped pizzas and a relaxed lake setting where diners can arrive by car or boat. Courtesy docks make it particularly convenient for boaters, while the outdoor deck and marina atmosphere give this location a distinctly vacation-friendly character rather than the feel of a standard neighborhood pizzeria.

Although the mailing address is Vinita, the restaurant is frequently identified locally as VIP Pizza at Hammerhead Marina or VIP Pizza–Grand Lake near Ketchum. This is the waterfront location beside Sharky’s Bar, not simply another unrelated restaurant using the VIP Pizza name. The marina’s official information currently lists VIP Pizza as open Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with Monday through Wednesday closed.

The atmosphere is informal and geared toward lake days, family meals and groups looking for an easy lunch or dinner. Outdoor seating is one of the strongest reasons to dine in, especially in pleasant weather, and the marina provides courtesy docks for guests arriving from Grand Lake. Typical spending falls around the affordable-to-moderate $10–$20 per-person range, although larger pizzas and group orders can naturally push the total higher.

For a first visit, the specialty pizzas are more interesting than sticking to a basic cheese pie. The Jackhammer repeatedly earns attention for its generous meat toppings, while the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza is another long-running customer favorite. The Papa Joe has also been praised for combining plentiful meat and vegetables, and breadsticks make an easy shareable starter. Customer feedback frequently highlights substantial portions of cheese and toppings, crisp thin crust and pizzas filling enough that a couple of slices may be sufficient for some diners.

Feedback is not uniformly positive. A handful of older reviews criticized changes to the crust and sauce, and one reported inattentive service. Those complaints date mainly from 2020, while later feedback has been considerably more favorable, including praise for handmade food, ingredient quality, friendly staff and generous toppings. Busy lake weekends can also make planning ahead worthwhile.

VIP Pizza is best suited to families, boaters, lake-house groups and anyone wanting substantial pizza in a relaxed waterfront setting. It is less suitable for diners seeking upscale Italian dining, an extensive full-service menu or a quiet weekday meal, since opening days are limited. For the strongest first experience, visit during a Grand Lake outing, grab a deck seat when weather permits, and split a Jackhammer or Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza with the table.

What People's Say About Place

Visiting the area for welcome back weekend and was told to come to VIP pizza. The pizza is excellent! They have a wonderful patio overlooking the lake. Highly recommend! I ordered the chicken bacon ranch, and it was very tasty!

Not an artisan pizza or a hand tossed crust. Their specialty is a perfect thin crispy crust. It is very consistent in form and thickness which leads me to believe that it is factory premade. Premade or not, it forms excellent base for the pie. This is not NY style pizza, so save your bitchin’ for someone who cares. This is a good ol’ small town, pizza joint pizza, loaded with a generous thick layer of fresh ingredients. 12“ Papa Joes Supreme. Not greasy, not overloaded with sauce. It is packed with meat, veggies and cheese. We had leftovers. Still tasty, cold from the refrigerator the next day. Big comfortable deck with picnic tables for outside dining. Nice view of the cove. Right next door to Sharky’s ice house. I imagine this place gets to rockin’ on the weekend. Friendly service. Great place to spend this beautiful spring afternoon. The pizza is good! Someone’s dog either bit someone or took a crap on the deck; as of March, no dogs allowed.

Wonderful spot! The food was excellent, and we sat on the patio for lunch and had a pretty nice view. It’s next to a marina so we took a walk down there after and saw some turtles, fun for my son. Service was excellent and the pizza was great. They have cauliflower and gluten free crust options which meant I could enjoy it too! Love it when a good local spot has some options! We had a veggie, cheese, and the BBQ chicken pizza (GF crust for that one). Everyone loved it. I’ve never seen my 4 year old eat so much pizza! We will be back!

Wonderful live music on Labor day Weekend. Pizza was terrific.

The pizza and salad were very good. Very generous with their toppings. We had the pepperoni and taco. The garden salad with chicken had cheese, tomatoes, spinach, romaine, and cucumber. Large portions. Small inside area with AC the rest of the seating on a covered deck.

Ordered 3 pizza's to feed the family. All of the food was great! The one that stuck out to me was the taco pizza though. This pizza did not disappoint! It was amazing! I wish there was one of these close to where I live. Not only was the pizza great! They were really big slices. If you haven't given this place a try, you should!

Really good pizza, made fresh and fast. Always a good stop after a hot day on the lake. Gotta try the CBR

Super fun little joint with loads of character. Right on the lake do you can dine up or boat in and dock in the plentiful courtesy slips. They have a glen free option which is such a huge deal for us with a son with celiac disease. Thanks so much to the staff for making it possible for our little guy to enjoy himself with all his cousins and family.
