| - I know this is supposedly the best pizza in Vegas, but I guess I'm not a huge fan of it...
First off, the service here is wonderful. They are all very attentive and friendly, checking to make sure everything is to your liking. The wait can be long but they'll give you water as you're waiting. There's always the option to sit at the bar too and get some appetizer before a table opens up.
The menu has a decent selection of pizzas and they usually have a special pizza of the day. You can get pizzas with or without tomato sauce. The pizzas I have tried are the Diavola, the Vico, and one of their specials of the day but I can't remember too much about it.
Diavola - It has a very nice little kick from the crushed red peppers and the salame gives a good saltiness.
Vico - The mascarpone pretty much melted and mixed with the olive oil and was a great substitute for having no crushed tomatoes. I was skeptical about no tomatoes but was pleasantly surprised. I also really liked the fennel and wood oven sausage, even though I generally am not a fan of sausage.
So why the 3 stars? I'm not a huge fan of their crust. It's a bit too wet and thin for me. This is one of those very thin pizzas where it's probably easier to eat with a fork and knife. For me, I like a crust that can hold its weight and has a nice crunch. Theirs is nice and doughy, which I do like, but it doesn't have that solid crust I really like in a pizza. Their toppings are great and all work well together, but there is very little.. I know this is supposed to be how traditional pizzas are, but I guess my poor student budget doesn't agree with it too much.
This isn't the best pizza in my eyes, but everyone has different tastes. It is undeniably good in terms of quality of toppings, but it just doesn't have the amount I would like. And that crust, it leaves me wanting more crunch!
