| - I lived in Boston for 18 years before moving to Las Vegas. I had my favorite pizzeria, a spot in Brighton Corner. It didn't look like anything special. But sit at one of the cheap formica tables a while & you might notice the Italian newspapers strewn about, then that the gentlemen behind the counter are all speaking Italian. What the place lacked in fancy decor it more than made up for with authenticity.
And my point, you ask? I have really high standards for my pizza. I signori at Brighton Corner made the best red sauce I've ever tasted and used a pepperoni that was like no other. For years in Vegas, I looked for pizza that was 80% as good. Then I gave up & looked for pizza that was half as good. Still nothing, until I discovered Those Guys.
No, neither their red sauce nor their pepperoni are as good as i signori, but they're reasonably close. And Those Guys' crust is actually better. It's a big plus that Those Guys make their own sausage, meatballs, and even smoke their own bacon. Also, TG makes a cheesesteak with the best quality beef you'll ever find in a hoagie.
Despite the 20-minute drive, I go to Those Guys fairly often (once every couple of weeks). It's a bit of a distance to go for pizza, but it's a lot closer than Brighton Corner.
