| - Cugino's Deli and Pizza delivers the deliciousness of New York pizza and eggplant parmesan subs to Maryland. That is Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Born and raised in the New York metropolitan area, I grew up with sicilian pizza and eggplant parmesan subs that we call heros in New York. Thanks to businesses such as Cugino's Deli and Pizza, I get to relive the remarkable taste of New York pizza and eggplant parmesan subs.
Cugino's is located in the Runnin Rebel Shopping Center directly across the street from the UNLV Student Union. College students are amongst the many people that patronize this New York transplanted deli pizza restaurant.
The one thing that UNLV cannot teach is a zest for trying new places. This Yelp's job. When I was searching to find a new pizza place, Yelp led me to Cugino's. Subsequently I dined there two times in the last couple of weeks. On the first visit, I enjoyed their $5.99 two slice sicilian pizza special with a fountain beverage then on the second visit I savored an egg plant parmesan hero on toasted bread.
When I stepped into Cugino's, the inside put me in a New York State of Mind. If you have seen Greenberg's Deli in NY-NY, it trails behind this deli. When I looked straight, my eyes took in a display case that included deli staples such as Boar's Head. When I looked to the right my eyes saw the counter, deli groceries, and an additional dining room. When I looked to the left my eyes took in a TV, New York memorbelia including the NY Met's logo, and a refrigerator featuring Dr. Brown's soda. When I looked down, I saw my food on the table. I will discuss the in the following two paragraphs.
When I bit into the sicilian pizza, it was a historical personal Las Vegas dining moment. From the time that I moved here in September 2004 and the preceding Las Vegas vacations, never do I recall eating sicilian pizza. Sicilian is a square pizza that is usually thick. Anyway, since this is the leading sicilian pizza that I recall eating in Las Vegas it truly is the best that I had in this city. Comparing it to New York sicilian pizza is a different ball game. If I compared it to New York sicilian pizza, it is good. After leaving Cugino's and walking toward Coffee Bean, I was determined to return to here try their eggplant parmesan sub.
My determination paid off when I tried their eggplant parmesan sub on toasted bread. The eggplant parmesan sub on toasted bread was out of this world delicious. The $9 and change that I exchanged for the sub was money well-spent. With the fountain drink (only one refill allowed), it came to around $13. In similar style to my previous visit, I paid at the counter, the man filled my soda cup, I waited at the table taking in the New York deli scene, then a few minutes in the future he brought the food to my table. In my opinion, Cugino's did a better job with the eggplant parmesan sub than the sicilian pizza. The eggplant parmesan sub gives New York pizzerias a run for their money. Writing this makes me hungry as I think about the thick juicy eggplant enveloped with mouth watering mozzarella cheese topped off with red sauce between warm toasted bread. Kudos to Cugino's for capturing the taste of a New York eggplant parmesan sub.
I really appreciate that in recent years the taste of New York eggplant parmesan subs and pizza is following me to Las Vegas as more pizzerias and Italian restaurants open and Yelp opens my mind to the established restaurants. The upshot is that I appreciate Cugino's Deli and Pizza.
