| - Brooklynites, your search for real pizza in Las Vegas is over.
I probably could just shut up there, but I'll write more, for those of you who require specifics. I actually almost shed a tear of relief discovering this place today. I've lived in Las Vegas for about 2 years, and I'd just given up on the hope of real Brooklyn pizza. Settebello pizza is good for what it is, more like the pizza you get in Italy. Nothing wrong with that. But when I've had a taste for NY pizza I've always been disappointed. Metro Pizza was suggested to me once by a friend, and after trying it I immediately punched him in the face. Don't worry, he's fine now.
The owners/staff of Cugino's are all Italian from Brooklyn. The place is a deli and italian grocery, so you can buy all the best meats, Italian canned goods, homemade raviolis, manicotti, stuffed shells, as well as marinated salads and mozzarella that they make there DAILY. The sandwiches are just flawless. Even the little things I've missed like coffee soda they had there.
Honestly I wasn't even planning on trying the pizza. I'd had enough disappointments on that front already. But as proud italians and proud New Yorkers, they insisted. And I'm SO glad they did.
