| - To date, I've found no one in the Vegas valley who does Neapolitan pizza better than Settebello. Granted, they're not my favorite in the entire U.S. (Pepe's in New Haven, CT would take the cake there with their Everyman pricing and their variety of toppings/options), but they do what they do, and they do it consistently well.
Never once do we come here and wonder how flavorful or well-spiced or well-cooked our food I'd going to be. Obviously, they've found a formula and they're good at teaching their staff to prepare, cook, & serve their pizzas and salads to their exact specifications -- and I really dig that! I like not having to gamble on the expected tastiness of my lunch or dinner (coughBRIOcough).
For what they are, they're a tad bit on the pricey side, which I blame in part on the franchise (though I have no idea what the original location in SLC charges) and in part on the fact that the spot they chose is in The District, which is infamously in such debt as to be in foreclosure. I also blame this in part on the fancy-pants imported ingredients, but I guess one has to do all that to get one's "Vera pizza napoletana" certification. Yeah, not bloody likely, but anyway...
The pizzas are on the largish side for one person, but not quite enough for two. However, splitting a salad AND a pizza seems to be just the right amount of food without feeling uncomfortably full. My boyfriend do this every time we go and it's perfect (he's got a pretty healthy appetite, too). I can recommend anything on the whole menu, as long as you like the ingredients. I'm not a huge fan of sausage--yes, ha, ha--so I like to stick with the other meats. I won't eat mushrooms on pizza & they're happy to leave those off for me. If you're a pepperoni lover, try the peppered salami; it's the closest thing to pepperoni that they have there, and it's even SO much tastier!! They also have the best damn espresso & biscotti I've pretty much ever had.
My only semi-complaint about this place is the service, and then only sometimes. The kids (the servers look like they're barely halfway through high school, which in and of itself isn't a bad thing) are pretty nice and helpful most of the time, though you get the occasional one who's sulking around in a cloud of bummed-out-ness (I'm assuming because some girl/guy didn't smile at them in math class that morning) and thus doesn't seem to be super excited to be there serving you. That's fine with me, though -- I don't mind that as much as when they get super bored and hover over you like a hawk. For example, we went for dinner on July 4th and there weren't too many patrons, but several servers. No fewer than three of them came by no fewer than 5 times each while I was STILL EATING and wanted to take my plate. One guy literally came over and stood there as I swished my last bites of crust around in oil/vinegar on my plate and raised it to my mouth--which I did very slowly as I stared him down--so he could take it to the kitchen for something to do. Go fold some napkins, son! Go refill the condiment bottles! I could easily come up with a list of things you can do that doesn't include stalking me for my plate. Oy.
I'd knock half a star off for that, but Yelp still hasn't gotten with the program and allowed half stars. (Hint hint! Get with it!) Bottom line, I'll still keep coming back time after time for the most consistently delicious Neapolitan-style pizza in the valley, and the more-often-than-not good, friendly service!
