| - Finally.
For the longest, I've search for some really excellent pizza in Vegas,
and I'd had almost given up, . . . but then I tried Grimaldi's.
The funny thing is I've probably passed by it a gazillion times, yelped it, and even bookmarked it, but for whatever reason, I didn't get around to trying it (probably because I'm currently searching for the best ayce sushi place).
But now that I have, there is little doubt that Grimaldi's will be my go to pizza spot.
here's the skinny -
- thin crust: I dig it and they do a pretty good job at it (so much so that I actually ate the crust).
- sauce: pretty close to the sauce I vaguely remember having in NYC (but I'll be the first to admit that's been awhile).
- cheese: I'm not sure what it is exactly what I like about it . . . maybe it was the texture and stretchiness or maybe the balance of milkiness and salt. whatever. it's good.
We ordered the Brooklyn Bridge and the Margherita:
The Brooklyn Bridge was a smidge on the sweet side (thanks to the ricotta which I would have probably replaced with either mushrooms, pepperoni, or more sausage) but still pretty tasty.
The Margherita was perfect. I know that extra sauce and fresh basil may not sound all that mind-blowing but I nearly ate the whole pie.
My only regret was not actually eating there. It had been a long day (we visited Hoover Dam) and we just wanted to get home, but the place looked very inviting, comfortable, and family friendly. Next time - and there will definitely be a next time.
