VEGAS PIZZA REVIEWS

So recently I was in Vegas for a few days and decided to visit several pizza places and do a few reviews.

On the strip

Pizza Cake

Pizza Cake gets some great write ups online, apparently the owner is a pretty famous pizza guy. I’ve never really cared about the fame of a pizza place owner, it’s all about the pizza. Pizza Cake is located in Harrah’s Casino. I had remembered there was a pizza place there and wondered to the food court. There was pizza there reviewed below, but I realized on the way out that in fact I had not gone to Pizza Cake.

So I returned later that day before I went to a Cirque de Soleil Show, Mystere and had a couple of slices for dinner. As you can see from the photo the slices looked right. And in fact they tasted as good as they look, these were solid NYC slices served on the Las Vegas strip. I was happy with them, just wished they’d been heated a little better, but definitely a solid slice. You can access Pizza Cake two ways, they have the shop inside or a street spot outside. I opted for the street side as the inside shop was always busy.

No name pizza at Harrah’s Casino

The fact is, the no-name pizza place in the Harrah’s food court was really solid. With a very Brooklyn-esque cashier checking out customers. In true Brooklyn fashion, “get your ice at that soda machine and your soda over in that one.”

Good solid slice, not quite as good as Pizza Cake but also a bit cheaper so an absolutely solid option if you’re at Harrah’s want to save a couple of bucks or don’t want to fight the lines at Pizza Cake.

Mulberry Street Pizza (Las Vegas Resort World)

I was initially really annoyed with this place. I was staying in the Conrad at Resort World and was excited the first night to actually get comfortable in the hotel and just get a pizza for dinner. I walked down and they were closed. The next morning I went down at opening and they weren’t open yet and there was already a line forming and the guy opening was not friendly.

I would eventually return later that afternoon for a couple of slices. Very good slices and absolutely huge, but also expensive, it is the Vegas Strip so that wasn’t a shock. The staff that afternoon was fantastic, the pizza was really good and it was very much on point as a NYC thin slice.

Downtown Las Vegas

Good Pie 1212 S. Main Street

Good Pie is a place I’ve been dancing around for quite some time. I have good friends who live within walking distance of this place. They’re New Yorkers and pizza lovers as well and they talk about this place incredibly positively. I’ve even hung out with the owner one night when we were out to dinner at a nearby restaurant. 

Finally, I made it to Good Pie and of course the fact that it took so long meant the expectations had built up pretty high. First off, I love the set up, inside a basic neighborhood bar feel and there’s also a slice window with some outside seating. I was actually hitting this place as an appetizer before dinner with my friends. I was a little impatient, they only had one type of slice available, I ordered it then 2 minutes later they brought out cheese and pepperoni pizzas. So I ordered an uncharacteristically fancy slice for me, meatball and ricotta cheese. It was delicious, very solid NYC slices, well made, good sauce and the right level of thinness of dough with the right level of cheese. All in all, a little better than the slices on the strip and would be very at home in NYC.
