OK. Let me just put it this way! This is not the best pizza I have ever eaten. but it comes in a close second.
When my wife and I walked in I was impressed right from the start. The restaurant is a nice large size. They have magnum bottles of wine placed throughout the restaurant. And in the menu under the history of Metro Pizza page they pay homage to the first pizzeria in the United States; Lombardi's in New York's Little Italy. Metro has become my favorite pizza place in Las Vegas.
On their back wall they have a map of the United States. It takes up the whole wall. Pinned to it at different locations are small photos with the names of Pizzerias in the different cities that they believe are the best. I have to go back to write them down sometime.
We were seated almost after stepping through the door. We were greeted at our table by a wonderful server who was friendly and outgoing and made us feel like we were the only patrons there. Bread and drinks came to our table very quickly. The bread was still hot from the oven. It had a really nice yeasty flavor to it and the real butter melted into it quickly. If you know someone who does not like pizza, if there is such a person, you could take them just for the bread. It is that good!
They have two sizes of Pizza. A small and a large. We got the large. I thought when ordering it, it would just be a bit to big and we would have a slice or two left over. I was very wrong. We were only able to finish half the pizza. So one large feeds four. We got one half the pizza as Hawaiian and the other half Gotham. Each were wonderful. The toppings were all fresh and crunchy. The pepperoni tasted a bit different from other pepperonis, but still very tasty and not as strong as most. If you want to know what sausage is supposed to taste like, this is the place. It was very flavorful like you would expect it to be. The veggies were tasty and crisp and the ham on the Hawaiian was plentiful and flavorful. One thing very interesting about the bacon bits on the Hawaiian; they were bacon fried up and cut into bits. So they were very moist and full of flavor and most of all they were not hard and overly crunchy. The sauce was tomato-ie like sauce should be. I expected the sauce to have a lot of spices in it overpowering it's flavor. I could not tell any spices in it at all. I'm sure they were there, but they were well incorporated into it.
Pizza is and always has been my favorite food. So I know I will be going back again and again to get this wonderful pizza.
