| - For the best Neopoiitan (Naples) pizza where pizza originated ,you need, Caputo "oo" high gluten flour, San Marzano tomatoes (grown in an area of Sarno River Valley between Naples and Salerno) Mozzarella di bufala (from the City of Caserta, North of Naples) Extra Virgin Italian Olive oil and not any water but San Pelligrino water, yeast .and a raving appetite. How do I know all this ? By attending the class- "Learn The Secrets of Hand-Crafted Pizza"- by third generation pizza makers-the owners/cousins of Metro Pizza- as they shared the history, traditions and techniques of the pizzaiola. . This was a 3-hour ! class that included recipes, hands-on instruction, great Italian wine and a delicious meal for about $25! Yes you can even take home the pizza kit that they sell, but you will never get the crispiness and the crust generated by a blazing furnace with low ceiling that cooks the pizza in minutes, with fire reaching up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (the bottom of the oven is fitted with Biscotto di Sorrento tiles above a layer of Vesuvian soil) and all the tender care of a pizzaiola ! So, skip the home cooked messy and soggy pizza, unless you are gluten sensitive and make your own.
These incredibly dedicated and talented cousins, not to mention award-wining pizza makers, with an enormous patience, have been doing this for quite some time on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. I attended the class at the East Tropicana location on the 4th Tuesday of the month and it has left an indelible impression in my mind and the palate. This was not a class but a Italian feast. The cousins do this not because they need the money-they are millionaires over-with branches all over the Valley, but they do it for the love of the pizza and the love for the customers who savor a good pizza.
I personally like thin crust with the minimum toppings on it,.and pineapple is not one of them. They have pizza's for all tastes and toppings. I am not recommending Metro Pizza for any gratitude, but they really have the best pizzas in Vegas. I have tried other locations but I always go back to the East Tropicana pizzeria, since they serve the best pizza''s in that location (may be because they got started in that location?)
I was told that, Bill Clinton's plane, was waiting on the tarmac of the McCarran, when few secret service men picked up the pizza's from the East Tropicana location. If it is good for the President of the United States-it should be good for mere mortals! The newest Metro Pizza scheduled to open at McCarran Airport D Terminal in Feb.2014.with slices of pizza for the Air-borne.
