| - This was our last meal in Las Vegas and we were introduced to this pizza joint by local Yelpers extraordinaire Christie L. and Marc S. and they graciously picked up the bill as well (greatly appreciated)! The original plan was to do a pizza crawl from Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan and ending at Inna Gadda. After discovering the same people had opened both places, we opted to skip Secret Pizza (the more expensive location) and grab a good-bye Vegas lunch at Inna Gadda.
The claim to fame for this area is the proximity to World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop which is the focal point of the History Channel's Pawn Stars. There was literally a line of people wrapping around the building just to get in and meet the workers. Inna Gadda is located ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=MDEN4DqdbIvsQlXfSFgFHQ ) next door in Pawn Plaza on the lower level at the end furthest from the street.
We arrived pretty early in the day, but there were already plenty of pies available if you wanted to order by the slice:

The menu ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=NYWmEUP4HuiA18efZcfzEA ) is pretty simple with one size of pie, pizza by the slice, a decent amount of toppings, four specialty pizzas, calzone, stromboli, two types of salad, pure cane soda fountain ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=w-YFLcCIhjzZq4avEHbh0w ) and desserts. There is an offer for a free cannoli ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=PCnr9afYUdZUywv5b9mVgA ) with your Yelp check in.
In addition to the cannolis, we ordered an All Meat Pizza ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=QLAyt6o0rmPEu6o5Lq82xA ) and a slice of White Pizza ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=YEjP8Y9GbfiNCGdemTyDsg ) to split between the four of us. A few of us also sampled the Boylan Pure Sugar Sodas and I believe the consensus was these sodas were okay, however I thoroughly enjoyed the black cherry version.
Seating is very limited with just a couple of tables outside in the plaza area and I don't recall any seating inside the restaurant. This leads me to believe most of the orders are of the to-go variety.
While we were waiting for our pizza, the manager came out with a free sausage stromboli ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/inna-gadda-di-pizza-las-vegas-2?select=gXakCJSeCo_jOeK28HoVyg ) because our initial pizza didn't cook right (the oven was on strike) and the pizza had to be re-fired.
Rohlinism: If your oven is killing the business, try killing the customers with kindness!
The manager also threw in an extra cannoli with our free ones with check in. The re-fire didn't take that long and we had the stromboli and slice of white pizza to keep us company while we waited.
The sauce and crust were very good and my only real complaint would be the toppings were a little uneven on the pizza. The price is a little on the higher side, but the quality of pepperoni, meatballs and sausage was very good. The better half is a "cheese fiend" and I heard no complaints about a lack of cheese on the pizza. There doesn't seem to be any savings ordering a specialty pizza as opposed to ordering a cheese pizza and adding toppings. The white pizza had a very good flavor and was particularly pronounced in the garlic department (love that garlic breath!) and the stromboli was a hit with the group as well. The cannolis were decent and there was a lemon zest added to the mascarpone, but the pastry dough was a little over fried for my taste. Not something I would order if I was paying $3.00 a pop, but they make a really good check in offer!
The staff and manager were very friendly and attentive during our visit. The manager and one of the workers came out a few times to make sure we were enjoying our pizza and stromboli.
This location is more downtown and off the strip, but it is worth seeking out and they have some interesting artwork in the center too, sorry about the lack of photographic evidence to support my assertion!
