| - I've tried Dom Demarcos PIZZA twice now and am ready to give. My opinion.
First time I ordered a large square Pizza (Sicilian Style) with sausage. The Pizza had excellent taste and a great sauce. Could have had a touch more sauce and a lot more cheese for the thickness of the dough. There also could have been a little less olive oil in the dough, it was kind of greasy. I had ordered sausage on half of the pie. The sausage had good authentic taste, but there were hardly any pieces there, approximately 2 or 3 small turd style pieces per slice, just a teaser
I had also ordered 2 Cannoli.($6.00 Ea) They tasted as if they were made. from a store bought flavored mix, not fresh ricotta cheese, lemon and sugar, there were almost no chocolate chips or dried fruit like the real New York version. If you're going to charge $6.00 a pop for a cannoli, make real ones!
My second try at Dom Demarcos, I thought I 'd try the traditional Neapolitan round. I ordered an 18in. with Meatballs for pickup and a Calzone with sliced Ham.
The pizza looked and smelled Great! There was one thing missing! I ordered MEATBALLS NOT MUSHROOMS on my pizza! If they used maybe 3 whole mushrooms on the entire pizza that would have been a lot by their standards!
The pizza towards the center was rolled as thin as a tortilla, maybe because there weren't any Italians working in the kitchen.
The calzone was good, but again the dough was rolled as thin as a tortilla and a finger touch in the center poked a hole thrrough it.
The bottom line is, if you're going to charge premium prices for PIZZA use premium ingredients and premium quantities on your product!
I recommend that the owner should shop out competitors like METRO PIZZA, Biaggios, and such and see what they offer at similar prices!
You got the New York taste down, but You got to put more stuff on your pizza!
BTW way, I was born and raised in Astoria New York, My Grandparents were from Naples. I also have a 10 year culinary background as a Saucier and Sous Chef.
I KNOW GOOD NEW YORK ITALIAN FOOD!
With a little improvement, this place can be one of the top pizza joints in Vegas!
