Las Vegas: Grimaldi's Coal Brick Oven Pizza
I have been there twice. The first time, the crust was nice and black. The second time we went, they really wimped out on me. Crust was too doughy and blonde. From now on, I am going to specifically ask that they make sure the crust is dark. Had the white pizza, and wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I was with the classic pepperoni.

@ikaloha Your Settebello recommendation was a good one. Thank you. Although Bianco was a tough act to follow, Settebello was definitely worthy of their VPN designation. Here's some visual proof:

You may notice that the last pie looks a bit better than the first four in terms of the crust. That was a result of the oven temperature getting up to speed. That's what happens when you go there for breakfast.

Went to Grimaldi's in Vegas this past week. Really impressive pizza, an oasis in the wilderness for sure. Manager on duty was from Staten Island. Pizza connoisseurs who find themselves in LV should check this place out.

Sorry, one person asked me about Bianco...I was there at 3pm. I was at Grimaldi's in Vegas at 11:30am.

@L.A. Pizza Maven You were there at 11:30AM on a Tuesday and they were opened? Now I'm confused. When you got there at 3:30PM, what day of the week was that.
Thanks,

Last time I drove to Bianco from LA I stopped at the Grimaldi's in Phoenix on the way home the next day. It was also really good (though I had just had Bianco the night before so that can't help but hurt the taste).

They have benches outside of Pizzeria Bianco. Go next door and get a beer or some wine for the wait. Be sure to que up early at the door, in a matter of minutes it's a bum's rush to the door.

I was there on a Tuesday at 11:30 am..there were only a handful of tables taken when i was there and the hostess told me that there only "really" crowded dor dinner fri and sat...I cant speak yet for the consistency but i made no special requests when i ordered and the pies were killer! Enjoy!

@L.A. Pizza Maven Was it a weekday or a weekend? I gotta catch an 8:30PM flight to Vegas.

Now Pizzeria Bianco is a place I have been meaning to try!

Settebello looks promising Ikaloha. They'll have a tough act to follow though. I'm heading to Pizzeria Bianco the night before. Can you get me a ride out to Henderson? I'll be there May 29th, but I'm not planning on renting a car.

If you're ever in Vegas again, check out Settebello. VPN certified.

Yo, pizza expert, I am comparing the Vegas satellite to the original and the pie's were comparable to any pizza I've ever eaten, notwithstanding those pizzaiolo's like Sr. Bianco and Ms Silverton at Mozza who use local,artisanal toppings. The crust from this satellite was as close to perfect as it gets.

Wait, are you actually comparing a satellite place to the original? I have eaten at the original, although I haven't put up a review on worstpizza yet, and I have eaten at all the satellites popping up on Long Island, and you cannot compare them. It isn't the pizza, it is the oven that is used to cook it. The same oven cavity that has been baking pizza for 50+ years I suppose. You really must be having bad pizza in vegas if you think this is the best.
