Since moving to the Las Vegas area, I was desperately looking for a pizza place that reminded me of some of my favorites from L.A.; especially North Hollywood's Joe Peep's.
Going by online rankings, I tried Aurelios and Papreza, but I've just never been a fan of the Chicago-style deep dish which, to me, wrongly favors the crust over the toppings.
Metro Pizza got a little closer but the pizza wasn't as distinctive as the charm of the restaurant itself; basically Vegas' equivalent to Shakey's.
Then I found Jesse's and I felt like I was home.. Lots of cheese? Check. Great and thick sauce? Check. Great toppings? You bet. Mind you, I've still had better pizzas and lord knows I will never find another equivalent to Peeps (I even tried in New York), but Jesse's is the best in Vegas, hands down.
