Founded in partnership with the Las Vegas Pizza Alliance, Novmber 16th marked Las Vegas’ inaugural Pizza Festival, and with participants including Good Pie, Pizza Rock, Metro Pizza, The Naked City Pizza Shop and others the event at The Industrial Event Space was a tremendous success both for vendors and those fortunate enough to attend.
Truly a showcase for local talent, and well-spaced across the outdoor venue downtown, it was shortly after noon that VIP guests gained entrance to taste more than twenty different Slices, each place showcasing their unique signature style, from classic Sicilian and Grandma to modern and even Gluten-free.
More celebration than competition, Metro’s John Arena having long-fostered collaboration amongst would-be competitors, which Slice was “best” became moot almost immediately, though truth be told that honor would be a two-way tie between Metro’s 5 Day Rise Sicilian and Pizza Rock’s picture perfect Detroit Rosa.
Only $45 for all-you-can eat Slices plus a take-home box, VIPs also offered a lounge with Ada’s Ice Cream and plenty of cold adult Beverages for $40 extra, it seems impossible to imagine that any guest left hungry or disappointed…except perhaps for the fact that they’ll have to wait twelve months for the event to (hopefully) take place once again.
