| - Let me just start by saying that I love Villa Pizza. I have lived in the Las Vegas Valley for 15 years and I grew up eating it, as my family is from the East Coast and we are way picky about our pizza. So, that being said, my review is simply for this particular location, and not the Villa Pizza franchise as a whole (which, btw, this place recently changed its name to "Sal's pizza", so that makes me feel a bit better about writing this). If you want to experience some of the best pizza in the Valley, try it out. Just don't go to this location.
I ate here the first day that I moved to Henderson, and, due to the reasons above, was thrilled to live walking distance near a Villa pizza. However, I was less than thrilled to discover that it is connected to a gas station. We had been moving all day and we were starving, though, so no matter. The cashier was okay, and the menu was typical of the chain.
Upon sitting down to wait for our pizza, my friends yelped, as they spotted a huge roach. I went up to tell the cashier, only to be met with annoyance rather than any kind of apology. Grossed out by this, we switched to another table in the center of the restaurant. As we were eating, not ONE, but TWO roaches resurfaced. I went to the cashier again, and she sent out a guy from the back who chased them around... as we were eating our pizza, looking on in horror. As this is happening, I hear "Sal" in the back hacking up a lung as he's cooking pizza. Despite the fact that the pizza was good (as is typical of the chain), I was so disgusted by everything else that I just about put down my food and walked out. I will never, ever dine here again due to fears about cleanliness, and I don't think I've ever had to do that with a restaurant here in Vegas. Someone needs to get the health department in there, stat. Diners, beware.
