| - I remember coming to Secret Pizza like a year ago, so I decided to come here again to see if it was still as good as I remembered it to be. It's located in the
Cosmopolitan on the 3rd floor across the billiard tables and chandelier.
There's an element of mystery when trying to find this place because the hallway leading up to the actual pizzeria has no signage or pizza advertisements. You can easily find it, though, when you see people walking out of the hallway carrying their food out... I felt like Alice going to Wonderland except there's pizza on the other side, and not talking flowers and such. It's kinda cool knowing that this place is literally a hole in the wall, especially since the NY style slices offered here are really good.
The interior is pretty small and it can get packed so fast. There's very limited seating (I only saw like two or three chairs) and then the rest is standing area. There's a few arcade games in there as well.
Overall, the pizza was slightly doughy and had a bit of crunch to the bottom of the slice. I had two slices of pizza: a white pizza slice and a mushroom one.
The white pizza with ricotta was so good. I think the ricotta elevated the flavor of the slice because when I bit into it, my mouth was hit with the rich, cheesy goodness. The mushroom pizza didn't really have that strong of a mushroom taste, probably because the mushrooms were more like small bits scattered all over the pizza slice. It had a very subtle mushroom flavor going on. I ended up spending $11 on the two slices of pizza.
I think the pizza is a little pricey (what isn't on the strip?), but so worth it. In my opinion, I'd say I believe in the hype this place has got. It can get crowded and you may bump elbows with other people if you dine-in, but this place definitely did not disappoint!
