I am writing this review while eating a fresh slice of cheese pizza from a 14" pie I just ordered from here. And now I am taking a bite out of their crispy chicken finger coated in medium buffalo sauce and blue cheese....sooo yummy. I don't care if my keyboard gets dirty from my greasy fingers!
This is not the first time I've had their pizza (I order a delivery every month or so) but this IS the first time I'm actually writing a review for yelp. Not sure exactly why I decided that Familia would be the one because I've been eating here and other super yummy places for months now and have just been too lazy to review, lol...
...maybe it's because I'm really missing NY right now and this is the ONLY place in Las Vegas that serves an authentic NY-style pizza...crust has that perfect balance of crisp and chewy, the sauce is very flavorful and they put just the right amount on the pie (I hate pizza that's oversauced and soggy), the cheese is the way it's supposed to be...nice and melty with just enough stretch when you pull it away...DELISH.
And yes the pepperoni pizza is oily but cmon, it's pepperoni! The best pizzas are the ones that take up 5 napkins to soak up the excess oil.
Other Menu Items:
- I usually just get plain or pepperoni so not sure what their specialty pizzas are like but they do sound delicious.
- Chicken fingers (sauce on the side so it stays crispy) over their wings...fingers are better than a lot of other places
- Their house salad is huge with large chunks of lettuce, tomatoes, slices of pepperoncinis, . I usually get the Greek dressing
- The zeppoles are AWESOME but you definitely have to eat them while they're hot....I tried to eat one the next day and almost broke a tooth hahahaha (what?? they're really good!)
- I recently just tried their Classic Gyro and it's actually pretty decent. I've had better elsewhere but I would order this again. It had a lot more lettuce than other gyros which I liked and the tomatoes were thin slices instead of chunks which I also liked.
- I've tried the cannolis once and it was really good but I'm the only one who likes them at my house and I can never finish a whole one by myself, lol so never got to order it again
They have some really great anytime and lunch specials also.
This is seriously the only pizza place I go to since discovering it a year ago. Every time I get that craving for some NY pizza, I call and order...and then get nervous that I'll be disappointed but I never am!! Love this place =)
