Abstract: The pinched Veronese poset $V_n^{\ast }$ is the poset with ground set consisting of all non-negative integer vectors of length n such that the sum of their coordinates is divisible by $n$ with exception of the vector $(1,\mathrm{...},1)$. For two vectors $a$ and $b$ in $V_n^{\ast }$ we have $aleqb$ if and only if $b-a$ belongs to the ground set of $V_n^{\ast }$. We show that every interval in $V_n^{\ast }$ is shellable for $n$ at least 4. In order to obtain the result, we develop a new method for showing that a poset is shellable. This method differs from classical lexicographic shellability. Shellability of intervals in $V_n^{\ast }$ has consequences in commutative algebra. As a corollary we obtain a combinatorial proof of the fact that the pinched Veronese ring is Koszul for $ngeq4$. (This also follows from a result by Conca, Herzog, Trung and Valla.)
