| - Many of the reviews for Lefty's say it's the best pizza in Vegas, or at least in the top five. If that's the case, I may have to move back east. I understand that being on the west coast, it's going to be hard to find east coast pizza. I lowered my expectations, and I picked Lefty's based on the reviews on Yelp. What a mistake that was.
I'm going to start off with my review of the food. The rest of the experience was not great either, but some of that was simple mis-communication and has no bearing on the actual food.
To start, we ordered two pizzas. We got a plain pie and a mushroom/sausage pie. We ordered mediums, thinking that we should have more than enough food for two of us. The menu says that the medium pizza is 14". Our pizzas were not 14". They arrived in comically small boxes that I have seen for personal pies or for single slice take out. I remined hopeful, however, that the pizza within was big on taste.
The pizza within was not big on anything. It was flat with a very stiff and bland crust. Good pizza crust has a bite and then a spongy texture on the inside. This was more like the texture of a garlic knot. It was heavy and doughy. The cheese was greasy. The sauce was ok, but nothing to save the rest of the pizza debacle.
All told this was not the pizza i expected based on the Yelp reviews. I dont know where some of you got your pizza from on the east coast, but if this is what it was like, you are getting lied to. My Las Vegas pizza search will continue elsewhere.
Now, on to the other factors that contributed to my 2-star score. My house is about 2 miles from Lefty's. At the time of night we ordered, this pizza should have been at my door in 30 minutes or less. After 90 minutes we had to call and find out where our pizza was. Turns out that the driver couldn't find the street (new neighborhood that isn't in their map yet). To make matters worse, the person who took our order never took our phone number so they were unable to call us and ask for directions.
To top it all off, there is a delivery charge. We ended up paying $2 to have a driver come 2 miles and deliver us luke-warm pizza about an hour later than we expected it. I know that gas is expensive, but if I am paying for you to deliver me food, you better get it right and get it to me fast.
To Lefty's credit, they did recognize that this was their fault and they offered me two free pizzas. If their system for keeping track of store credit is as good as their system of taking down delivery addresses, I dont expect to see those free pizzas anytime soon. Of course, based on the pizzas I got last night, I may not want to...
