| - There are plenty of good pizza places in Las Vegas, and depending on what type of pizza you like, you can probably find it here. But this small restaurant in North Las Vegas is one of the best in the Valley, especially if you like New York-sized artisan pies that you can order whole or by the slice.
I went to lunch with three co-workers, and we each had a "monster slice" -- and they're not kidding with the name. These pieces were HUGE! I can't imagine what a "double slice" would be! I had The Veggie, which was a melange of fresh vegetables (including one of my favorites, roasted garlic). My boss had a traditional sausage and pepperoni, and my other co-workers each had the College Favorite (ham and pineapple) and the Calabrese (salami, peppers, and olives).
These were all pretty tasty, and I didn't even go near the two menu items that piqued my interest the most: the Vegas Meets Italy (dates, pistachios, prosciutto, and triple-cream gorgonzola) and the Pork Reigns (name a pork product, and it's probably on there). But my husband is pork's biggest fan, so I thought I'd save that latter order for him next time we see a movie across the street at the Galaxy Theater. (LOVE that place!)
Our lunch quartet also shared some garlic rosemary bread knots (delicious) and cannoli (even better). Service was quick and pleasant, although I felt like a heel because I didn't leave a tip. (I didn't notice a tip jar on the counter, although my boss later said he saw it and tipped. Now THAT'S a first for Vegas -- an inconspicuous tip jar!)
As I said earlier, this place is small, so you might have to wait for a table. But it is definitely worth the wait. And next time I'll definitely tip!
