| - Holy garlic Batman!!!! We pulled up (windows rolled up, A/C on) and could smell the garlic before we even pulled into the parking space!
My response to said pungent garlic aroma? THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD! (haha)
Nestled in an up and coming strip mall (shocker for Vegas), this Southwest hidden treasure was on Yelps suggested pizza joints so we decided to give it a shot. Boy are we glad we did!!!
It had your East Coast hole-in-the-wall "feeling" with it's size, lack of detail in the decor, but I'm going to be completely honest when I say the guy making the pizza with the tattoos on his neck and the Asian guy working the register really threw me off... Needless to say, I had my doubts.
$19.99- We got a 1-topping LARGE pizza, garlic knots, and a liter of soda.. great deal!
I know, I know, get to the point already, how was the food, right?
DELICIOUS!!! The crust was east-coast thin and crispy, sauce or "gravy" as we Italians call it, was shockingly fantastic (not too sweet, not undercooked), my only "eh" moment was the cheese. Trust me when I say the cheese was not a factor when it came to devouring the pie and knots.
Let's see, it's 5:27pm the following day and.....yep, I still can taste a slight hint of garlic in my mouth resonating from last night. (Mind you this is 3 tooth brushes, 2 mouth washes, and 2 meals later)
I happen to LOVE garlic so this is not a problem for me, but if you are not in the market to ward off vampires for 2 days, pass on the garlic knots ;)
TRY IT! You won't be disappointed if you are looking for a (close to) NYC/East Coast style pizza pie.
