We were in a city surrounded by all kinds of fancy restaurants yet my husband wanted nothing but a simple pizza. We went to the Venetian, figured its Italian theme would lead us to some simulacrum of pizzeria.
Passing a few gondolas we were at the "plaza" where Wolfgang Puck's Postrio and Mario Batali's Enoteca San Marco were next to each other. As far as we know, Batali is Italian and Puck is not. That was an easy decision.
We had a nice seat where we could easily hear the "street performance". The bread, unlike most restaurants, came in a bag instead of a basket. The olive oil was better than the bread, and the breadsticks imported from Italy were nothing special. After studying the menu, my husband got a sausage pizza and I was attracted to the unusual mozzarella-and-clam pizza; we also decided to share a duel appetizer: butternut squash fries and prostitute fritter. The food was served promptly: the deep fried appetizer was interesting but a little bit greasy and salty to my taste; the clams on my pizza were rubbery, the pizza itself was dry and did not have much flavor (except for one clam tasted funny); luckily, the fat and salt in the sausage made his pizza quite tasty-- also made him extremely thirsty.
It was an ok lunch, and the price seemed to be somewhat reasonable for Las Vegas. Will we spend a hundred dollars on a "simple" pizza lunch there again? Probably not.
