Having experienced the magic of DiFara’s in Brooklyn and watching Dom DeMarco at work in his tiny pizzeria I was admittedly a bit skeptical walking into the Vegas interpretation of the great Pizzaiolo’s vision – not only would the master not be there watching over each and every pie, but I worried that the larger restaurant and expanded menu would compromise the quality of the meal; all of these concerns proving unfounded when I met a group of three Vegas diners to explore a varied swath of the relatively new brunch menu. Treated first with a bag of zeppoles served with raspberry sauce and progressing through two savories and two sweets before moving onto one of the iconic pies the first thing to strike me was how well everything was prepared – the scrambled eggs springy and the poached eggs runny with vegetables nicely prepared and plenty of cheese while both the baked pancake and French Toast were fluffy and sweet with top quality fruit and ample, but not overwhelming amounts of pure maple syrup. Impossible to decide between the square or the round crust based on quality as both were excellent in Brooklyn our eventual decision was based entirely on the fact that the square pie is only available in a large size and although perhaps not as well seasoned in terms of the bright acidity of the tomatoes or robust herbal notes of the basil the crust at DeMarco’s was every bit that of the version at DiFara’s, lightly raised and golden with a light crumb and pleasant yeasty notes serving as a backdrop to ample cheese – undoubtedly a contender for the best pizza I’ve found in Las Vegas.
