| - Have you ever thought to yourself, "I really wish I could pay $17 for a 12 inch, undercooked pizza at a rock and roll themed restaurant that looks like a semi truck ran through the walls!"??? Then boy, do I have a place for you!! So, maybe that was a loaded intro, but I'll make up for it by keeping this short and sweet.
We ordered the 6 meatballs, truffle fries, rosemary garlic fries, a margherita pizza and a Cal Italia pizza.
The meatballs had zero flavor to them and were mighty dry. The sauce was passable. Not only could I have made better meatballs, but that one Aunt everyone has who cooks terrible food and brings it during your family gatherings could have out shined these meatballs with her eyes closed.
The fries were an embarrassment. Like, think cheap bargain basement U.S. Foods quality fries with barely any flavor added to them. It's a pizzeria and they weren't too outrageous at $6, so I won't hold that one too much against them.
The pizza we ordered was the trendy napoletana style small undercooked pizza. It was ok. Not $16 ok, but ok. I should really have tried the New York style, but that will be saved for another time. Those are $20+ a piece. And should you want a Sicilian, they offer them here, but for $30+ for a rectangle. Apparently you can get away with charging these prices in Downtown Las Vegas. At somewhere like New York Pizza & Pasta, you pay $17 to start, and it fills the entire square of the 16" pizza box. I didn't try the other pie as the toppings didn't do it for me.
The server was friendly. Though, a pet peeve of mine is when a pizzeria doesn't automatically bring out parmesan and red pepper. It should either be on the table right away or served with the pizza. That's pizza 101, guys. Thankfully, the drinks weren't too nuts. My Jack and Coke was like $7. They also offer a 20% discount for locals, so I suppose those two things ease the highway robbery a bit. There are TV's everywhere and the place is spacious. So, the highlight of my experience was that there were TVs and I wasn't crammed in around other people... It's downtown, where it's trendy to overpay for subpar items and deal with inconvenient parking. Not sure I'll return, unless I'm in the area and starving. If I do, I'll try a NY style and skip the meatballs and fries. You probably should too.
