| - 15% of my reviews are 5 stars. Don's is one of them.
Absolutely Outstanding on every level. Serious!
Ignore the "hater" reviews. This is one of those out of the way Vegas places that pleases you to the point of goose bumps. Again... Serious!
Sitting with my wife and two children, 13yo & 11yo, and looking around after the meal I had this warm fuzzy feeling in my gut that's hard to explain.
Ambiance. Outside walking in? Not so good. Strip mall parking lot... ick! However, you enter a new world once inside. Checkerboard tablecloths? Check! Open kitchen for viewing? Check! Clean, warm, Mediterranean atmosphere? Double Check! The photos attached above are good and give an indication of what you're going to encounter but once you're there, it's even better. A LOT better!
The good vibes were flowing through me upon entering and only went through the roof from there. I read some of these reviews and still went there. Bad service and rude employees? Puh-LEEEZ! Over the top and out of control NICE and POLITE to the extent that an off duty waitress chatted with us Montanan's for 20 minutes when she could have been en route home.
Before I get to the Pizza, I'll start with the Sausage & Peppers in gravy (red ragu). Our kids normally wouldn't touch this dish. We couldn't keep them off it. Even the pepers and onions they were all over. Good thing I didn't tell them what they were eating LOL =]
That dish was delicious and we treated it like an appetizer. Not spicy at all which at first disappointed me but later I appreciated it for what it was. A tad sweet with a tangy aftertaste. Wonderful.
The pizza however is off the hook (I'm 46 so it's really something for me to use this phrase). It doesn't matter what pizza you order. The secret is in the dough and crust of the pizza.
Most may not recognize greatness when they taste and chew it. This crust is the best you can get bar none. Here's the test.... when your pizza arrives and is hot out of the oven, take a slice an place in on your plate. Before you dive into the section with all the toppings, rip off an enormous hung of the back end of dough that doesn't have any cheese, sauce or toppings on it. As you bite in to the crust, you'll enjoy that wonderful sensation of "crunch" from the outer shell of the crust but that's not from being over cooked. There's no crumbling of dough to the table from your mouth like a piece of dry toast. The crunch is the result of a masterfully designed crust that is followed by a chewyness that only bubble gum can compete with.
You can't appreciate the crust with all the cheese and toppings on it so try it before you dive in to the heart of your slice just to see how how good it is. Then, when you attack the pizza you ordered you'll have more appreciation for the pizza as a whole instead of judging it solely on the toppings and cheese which may, or may not be up to your standards. Let's face it: Every pizza place chooses different types of cheeses and toppings of varying quality. My type of pizza sausage does not match what some restaurants decide to serve. That's not their fault.
But I digress.... You want a good pizza? Come here and order one. And go simple. Choose a topping or two that you love, try the crust before digging in, then enjoy a spectacular meal the likes of which are hard to find in the pizza world.
