| - BEST THIN CRUST MARGHERITA PIZZA EVER! All thin crust fans must eat here at least once. I was not impressed with Mozza (another Batali pizza place in CA), so my expectations were low. The cheese was insane! It was sooo fresh and creamy and light, it wasn't leathery at all! The dough stayed crisp at the bottom, which I have never seen before. Usually when u first get a thin crust pizza at your table, the first slice is nice and crisp, but the following slices get soggy and buckle when you pick them up. This one held it's shape like a crisp little cracker, but it had that unmistakeable chew of a pizza. My GF was obsessed and she said it deserves 5 stars. I did wish the sauce had a little sweetness (it's more salty than sweet) and maybe a pinch of oregano. My other favorite Pizza place is Tirovino in LA.
I was really disappointed with the gelato. I ordered the Graham Cracker, Almond Ice Milk, and Dark Chocolate Malt. They were packed in layers in a little metal cup, which irritated me, I wanted to taste each flavor, not have them all mashed together! Wtf? I tried to separate them as best I could but the flavors were kind of boring and not as interesting as I thought they would be. The ice milk was the best but it wasn't a smooth creamy gelato, more like an icy sorbet. I couldn't taste the malt in the chocolate one at all, Too bad, because I love malt! The graham cracker texture was nice, but this needed a pinch of sea salt or something. I got a cone on the side and it looked fine, but tasted burnt. Anyway, it definitely wasn't worth $13. There are much better desserts to be had in Vegas, like the berry nutella crepes at Paris and Bellagio ;)
