| - Metro Pizza is a good local pizza chain with many options - probably the closest thing in Las Vegas to a good, local, homegrown small pizza outfit with a few locations, and good dining options at the restaurant.
I have been a customer of Metro Pizza for 15 years +, and their food and service is pretty consistent, and many of their staff have been around for many years - an indication in my mind of a good solid employer if wait staff, busboys, etc... stay at a restaurant for many years.
The pizza is of high quality, and many varieties are available - different crusts, toppings, etc... I particularly like the San Gennaro pizza with the thick 'Metro' crust. I generally favor their thicker crusts here as opposed to the thin crusts, which are more standard in my mind.
Salads are good too - the antipasti salad is excellent, and the chicken pasta salad is also excellent - their dressings are very good - balsamic, honey dijon, house special, etc...
Good lunch specials as well for under $10.
Main issues I have had are minor, generally wait at lunch can be long. I favor their Tropicana location near UNLV over others, but the Horizon Ridge location is ok too - food is consistent, I have just gone to the Trop location for a longer time.
They also have a good calendar of events (which unfortunately is not updated online enough at their website) - they do many specials - i.e. discounts for your name, wearing UNLV colors, holidays, etc... I also very much enjoy when they have events for kids to make their own pizza, lessons on making their really good bread, etc...
Highly recommended, good value based on reasonable prices and good quality, good local small business that appears to treat their staff well and delivers good food and service. This business appears to be a good community citizen.
