| - 2 stars for service.
5 stars for how they address mistakes.
3 stars for the pizza.
My elite friends wanted to try this right before we left Vegas. I had been to the one in NYC, and supposedly they use NYC water here. I was willing to give it a shot. I still dream about NYC pizza 4 years after my visit there (I couldn't eat California pizza for 6 months afterward; it just made me angry) so I'm a little skeptical of anything this far from the east coast.
It's a small restaurant inside of a mall, and gets crowded quickly. We were a party of 7. You can see the fashion shows from the restaurant.
We ordered a large white pizza, a large pesto, and a large meat pizza, along with a large Caesar salad. The salad was perfect. Not for the health-conscious with the amount of dressing used, but perfect. The they started bringing us small pizzas. We told the server that we had ordered 3 larges, and since the pizzas took so long to make, the manager told us to go ahead and keep them on the house and they would bring out the larges. The 3 large pizzas were more than enough alone to feed our table, so we had sooooo much extra pizza. They also accidentally brought an extra large meat pizza, but told us to keep that one as well!
I wish the rest of our visit was just as great. Before and after the pizzas were dropped off, we were completely ignored. I had to ask three times for another beer because it was forgotten, there were empty water glasses, etc. Maybe they could somehow tell I had too much beer over the weekend and didn't need anymore, but still!
The pizza was good, but didn't blow me away like the NYC version had. They did a great job on the crispy crust. The pesto was my favorite, the white pizza was too garlickly, and none of them seemed cheesy enough. It didn't have that life-changing, holy-crap-I-am-moving-to-NY like other pizzas I've had, but it was still good.
Could have been a 5-star experience if the pizza and service were a little better! I enjoyed Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan much more.
