| - Ode to the Meatball Parm from Those Guys Pies
A perfect blending of texture and taste,
Not a crumb of this sandwich would ever I waste.
The bread to slight crunchiness is toasted;
The meatballs' incredible flavor is roasted;
The sauce is rich from the sun ripe tomato;
The cheese is all melty, does not taste like play-doh.
Order one now - don't procrastinate!
It will be the very best thing you ever ate.
The meatball parmigiana sandwich from Those Guys Pies is just about the most phenomenal thing you can eat on the planet. I had one for dinner the first time 2 nights ago. And then for the rest of the night, I could not shut up about how good it was. So I ordered another for dinner yesterday, but this time, I concentrated really, really hard, so that I could use real words in my review instead of just saying "yum yum." (I concentrated so hard that a poem popped out!) The bread is sturdy enough to hold up to its hearty contents, but it's not tough or anything that you feel you are ripping apart with your teeth. It doesn't have remarkable flavor on its own, but that's fine, because you don't really want it competing with the rest of the mouthwatering taste sensations. It is a perfect canvas for the food art laid atop. The home-made meatballs have superb flavor, and you can see within the herbs that are used in its making. They are dense enough to have good bite. (As in, not fluffy, like when people use breadcrumbs as filler.) I also like the sauce. It is bright and flavorful, but not too fruity or acidic. But we must not forget to mention the BRILLIANT way this sandwich is crafted - in the way they lay the meat on the bread. Mark my words, it is such a remarkable idea that I have no doubt in a few years, all meatball parms will be made this way. Instead of your typical 3 or so meatballs tucked into the bread - you know, so that sometimes the uneaten part of a ball rolls out of the bun and into your lap - they slice the meat and angle it so that there's no rolling action, and the amount of meat you get with each bite is fairly consistent. Genius. I took a picture that I will upload in a second. I hope you can see it with this review so that you will see what I mean.
Although I just recently tried the meatball parm, I've actually eaten here about 15 times. Everything I have tried here has been amazing. I'm from Jersey (New, that is), and I have been looking for a great pie (pizza, that is) in Vegas for over a decade. I feel pretty confident saying this is the best in the whole city. (Which, by extension, really means the best in southern Nevada.)
Pizza: Crust is thin like it should be. Our usual order is the sausage & pepperoni pie. Awesome every time. One time I ordered a veggie pie, no cheese, for a vegan friend, and it was the best damn veggie pie I ever had. (Although to be honest, I didn't ask about the crust ingredients, so it may not have been vegan. Please don't tell my friend.) I can't remember exactly what was on it, but it wasn't just the standard pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato. Maybe they added artichoke hearts? I don't know, but the point is, it was mouthwatering.
Cheesesteak: I have also had this sandwich a couple of times. It comes with onions at no extra charge, but I order "The Works" to add on peppers & mushrooms an extra $1. It's fantastic. I do think it's a little pricey for a sandwich, (I think the ribeye is $11, which makes the works $12). But - the meat is thinly sliced, and not chewy, like you get with cheaper meat that has a lot of fat and gristle. I can't stand meat that I can't bite through. I know not everyone agrees, but I would rather pay the extra to enjoy my sandwich instead of fighting with it.
Chicken Fingers: very good. The chicken is moist, the breading is good. I can't say there is anything that needs to be improved about them, I just find it hard to get excited about chicken fingers. If you love Raising Cane's, I'm sure you will love these too. The thing that stands out about them is that they are much, much longer than usual. Fun variety in sauces, too.
I might have to get another meatball parm for dinner tonight, for the third day in a row. Seriously, this sandwich is that good.
