  • Vince and Ada in Milan, 1954.

Vince's, the old-school red-sauce classic down in Rainier Beach, is closed forever. If you need some red-and-white-checked vinyl tablecloths, pizza pans, or red glass candle-holders, there is an auction today (posted without a time on their readerboard—no info on their Twitter as of right now). Three other Vince's (Vince'ses?)—in Burien, Federal Way, and Renton—remain open.

UPDATE! As gloomy gus points out in comments, Pizzeria Pulcinella in Rainier Beach, run by the Neapolitan family of Vince's, is also available for your consolation.

Thanks (and sob!), Jill!
