| - When I first moved to Las Vegas, before gourmet pizza places started popping up everywhere, Metro was the only option. It was consistently voted best of Las Vegas and even though I now prefer Naked City, there are still some occasions where I specifically crave Metro Pizza. The crust is thinner but not "thin", their slices are huge, and they have a lot of options for toppings.
The other night I ordered a large 1/2 Modesto with sausage (free to add, why not?) and 1/2 Milano to go. One great thing about Metro is that they DO offer 1/2 and 1/2 toppings because Naked City doesn't. I was told the wait was about an hour and a half (Friday night) but it ended up being more like an hour. The Milano is a white pizza with garlic, mozzarella, and ricotta. This pizza is very garlicky. I don't mind that but my boyfriend wasn't that into it. I liked the ease of eating it, you can actually pick it up with one hand, whereas I'm usually always a knife and fork pizza eater. The Modesto's flavors were more intense and varied but the pizza itself was totally soggy, I think because of the tomatoes. I really enjoyed the strips of basil on this side and I think next time I may add that to the Milano.
Overall Metro Pizza is consistent and offers a lot of interesting pizzas without them being TOO weird. It's pizza that doesn't make you want to pass out immediately afterwards, which is appreciated sometimes. I'll keep coming here even with the pizza explosion happening around town.
