Review #700!
I love NYC pizza with a deep, lustful passion. It plagues my dreams, calls out to me through windows with its seductive aroma, and makes me yearn for the next cheesy slice. Secret Pizza is a place in Las Vegas that serves it. My friend Grace C. went last year when Cella R. told her about it. Ever since then, I've been plotting my return to Vegas and partaking in this secretive pizza joint.
My fellow elite Yelpers and I made our way over to the Cosmopolitan after a YEE at the Cathouse and ordered 2 pizzas ($50 total): one white pizza and one half pepporoni/ half sausage & mushroom. It came out to about $5 per person. Secret Pizza is located up on the 3rd floor of the Cosmopolitan food court next to the sushi restaurant down an unmarked hallway. There are white tiles and picture frames welcoming you into this unremarkable looking pizza place. We ordered our pizzas around midnight and got them about 30 minutes after. It seemed like forever to a slightly inebriated and starving person such as myself. I was hungry and watching others get their slices before I did, was excruciatingly painful. Drew M. started to play Donkey Kong while waiting. Watching his arcade game progression only made me hungrier.
Where was this pizza anyway?! Why didn't I just order a damn slice?! Oh wait, there it is. We brought it outside to the sofas & coffee table. We dug in. Silence. Everyone is chewing and gulping their pizza in a very methodical fashion. Delicious garlicky white pizza with greasy pepperoni pizza. I was in heaven. Was it the best pizza I've ever had? No, nothing compares to real NYC pizza in NYC, but it comes close. Too bad the crust wasn't as crispy as I would have liked but the flavor of the white pizza still makes me drool as I write this. Pizza is the perfect food in the wee hours of the morning when all you want is carbs. Thanks for making my pizza dreams come true, if only for the night!
