Arguably Las Vegas’ hardest working Chef, particularly since the onset of COVID-19, it was to kick-off 2021’s #supportlocal lunch program that Marc Marrone’s Gemma Gemma’s Square Pies were ordered, and once again a combination of passion, precision and Ingredient quality was on display from beginning to end.
Officially launched August 6th, online ordering now offered Monday through Sunday for pick-up or delivery from 7355 South Buffalo Drive, Gemma Gemma’s is a tribute to Marrone’s late-grandmother Anita Gemma Marrone while the cartoon Pizzaiolo on each box pays homage to Marc’s father, with whom he grew up making Pizzas as a child.
Citing Gemma Gemma as the person who inspired his culinary career, it is at a price-point similar to that of Graffiti Bao that Marrone has built a menu of Pies, Sandwiches, Salads and Appetizers, everything including Bread made in-house just as it is at Graffiti Bao.
Kicking things off with 6” “Signature Pies,” each built atop 72-hour fermented Dough that eats light with a crispy edge not unlike Detroit-style, Gemma Gemma’s current menu features four varieties customizable to guest preferences, the Vodka Sauce beneath crisp Pepperoni while The Ol’ Sausage and Bianco each balance a hefty allotment of Toppings such that every bite is different while diverse flavors work in harmony.
Also catering a great Chop Salad, spicy Pork and cubes of Cheese dotting fresh Veggies, Garlic Parm Wings come large and meaty like those from Graffiti Bao while $8 Italian “Torpedos” topped with Roast Pork are succulent and well-seasoned amidst their accoutrements on fluffy Hoagie Rolls amicable to soaking up all the Juices.
Adding a special Pesto Pie to this order, its mélange of Mushrooms offering earthy aromatics to vibrant Herbs, Prosciutto also came draped across two slices of Cheese Pizza which offered competition for stomach space sorely needed to enjoy Sin City’s best Cannoli.
N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Gemma Gemma’s Square Pies sees Chef Marc Marrone add yet another concept to his cadre, and alongside Graffiti Bao’s unparalleled customer service it will be difficult to order one without the order (at least monthly) from now on.
RECOMMENDED: Bronx Chop Salad, Vodka Pep Pie, Bianco Pie, Mushroom Pesto Pie, Roast Pork Torpedo, Cannoli.
AVOID: N/A.
