Really like Metro Pizza. You can go with a regular crust, thick Metro crust, ultra-thin Roman style, or one of the square pies, and it all tastes fresh and high-quality. The wings are outstanding too and a must every time we go. We've gotten carry out several times with no issues and enjoy the sit down even more. This is one of the only true east coast style pizza places in Vegas; Metro, Bonannos, and Lucinos...that's it...They do offer other styles of pizza from across the US and everything we've tried is top notch. No one else comes close even if Guy Fierri ate their slop on tv. The service is always friendly and attentive, and they're genuinely great with kids. They have a good kids' menu and make it easy to have a relaxed family dinner. Just really good pizza and a much better experience, unlike those other guys' pizza places who could learn something over here!! read more

Walking in with three young godsons is a feat within itself. Good thing they have a kids meal menu with lots of choices. The regular menu as well had several choices. The service could have been better as we did have to wait a bit and there really wasn't that many customers in there and it seemed like others who came in after us got their order before us. Also the pizzas were burnt on the bottom and they said that since it's wood fired pizza but I get wood fired several times and it's not burnt like we had. They do give military discounts. read more

Been feeling pizza and Metro has never disappointed. Monday they are closed, Tuesday the parking lot was full, so today we finally made it. Our server Brooke shared with us that on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, pizzas are half off from 2:30-4:30. We started with the Fried Mozzarella which was awesome, thick cheese and perfect crust. We then had the salad which is their chopped Italian salad with Romaine lettuce, salami, ham, Provolone, cucumbers, onions and tomatoes - all tossed in their own house dressing and served with a fresh baked garlic knot. Then we had two pizzas, The Gotham Pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, green peppers, ground beef and onions and The Honolulu Hawaiian pizza made with ham, pineapple, onions, green peppers and bacon bits. Both were delicious. I plan on coming back to get some pizzas on the half off days, but even when not, it's still worth it. Good food, decent service and great ambiance. read more

I recently heard Metro has one of the best Sicilian pizzas in the US. I had to try! I called in to get more information and to place an order. I was pleasantly surprised how informative and polite the conversation was. It happened to be trivia night. My husband and I went. We shared the 86th Street Square Pie. It was HUGE!!! (We took over half home.) The bread was so good. The crust was crisp and flavorful. The inside was soft. It great the next day, too. Tons of cheese and pepperoni. Trivia was fun. It was nice to be around neighbors in a family friendly environment. We met one of the owners. He was very personable. At the end of the night, he thanked his staff for their support. They deserved the round of applause. The service was good and friendly. We really enjoyed the down home feel. We definitely will be back. Yes, the pizza was so thick the box could not close. read more

If you haven't made it out to Metro Pizza it's a must. Even though out mozzarella sticks came out uncooked, they were still able to recover. They brought out fresh cooked mozzarella stick and the pizzas were all good. Oh and that ranch is drinkable . One of my favorite pizzas was the thin pepperoni. It was crunchy and the the pepperoni has great flavor. Definitely would recommend Metro Pizza read more

Pizza is super greasy. Got the arriabata or whatever it was called, that's essentially a meat lovers pizza. Did the Metro crust. First slice was alright than just wayyy to greasy after that. Service staff was great and the ambiance was great as well wish I could rate both those 5 stars. 6-6.5 out of 10 pizza. Maybe other things are good though! read more

5 Stars for Metro Pizza -- A Las Vegas Institution John Arena, one of the owners of Metro Pizza, is an absolute legend in the pizza world. He's widely regarded as one of the godfathers of American pizza. For decades he's traveled the world studying pizza, teaching, judging international competitions, mentoring countless pizzaioli, and earning honors that have influenced the craft far beyond Las Vegas. Since the 1970s, the original Metro recipes have built an incredibly loyal following. John has never felt the need to reinvent what generations of customers already love. But if you've only ordered the classics, you're missing some of the most exciting pizzas Metro has to offer right next to them on the same menu . That's one of the reasons the team opened the new Metro Sliceteria at The Bend--to showcase creative new styles and specialty pies while preserving the recipes that made Metro famous. Then there's Chris Decker, who came up through Metro under John's mentorship. In my opinion, Chris is one of the finest pizza makers on the planet. He went on to co-found Truly Pizza in Dana Point, where he and the team have earned national and international recognition. Much of the innovation you're seeing today at Metro Sliceteria comes from years of John and Chris pushing each other to explore new techniques and styles. Their impact goes far beyond their own restaurants. They've generously shared knowledge with countless pizza makers before they ever opened their doors. I know because I was one of them. When I was creating Evel Pie, John and Chris were both incredibly generous with their time and advice. I've been around pizza my entire life. My family owned Pizza-Eazy in Bakersfield, California. I created Evel Pie in Las Vegas, and I've spent decades immersed in pizza culture. I've watched Las Vegas evolve from a city people laughed at for pizza into one that's now respected around the world. There are few people more deserving of recognition than John Arena and Chris Decker for what they've done for the Las Vegas pizza scene. And let's be honest--Las Vegas has become one of the strongest pizza cities in America. We have Floriana Pastore of Signora Pizza, recently named Best Street Pizza in the World. We have Tony Gemignani, 13-time World Pizza Champion and the force behind Pizza Rock. We have John Arena, Chris Decker, Michael Vakneen and the Truly Pizza team, and a growing list of incredible pizzaioli who have elevated this city onto the world stage. If you still think Las Vegas can't stand toe-to-toe with New York, New Jersey, Chicago, or even Italy, you simply haven't been paying attention. And no... it isn't the water. New York has thousands of pizza shops using the exact same water, and not all of them are great. Great pizza comes from passionate people who dedicate their lives to mastering their craft--not from a municipal water supply. Whether you're a lifelong Metro fan or you've never been, do yourself a favor. Visit one of the original Metro Pizza locations, then head over to the newly opened Metro Sliceteria. Grab a slice, shake John's hand if he's there, and thank him for everything he's done to put Las Vegas on the world pizza map. Legends like John Arena don't come around very often, and we're lucky to have one in our own backyard. read more

When I moved here 20+ years ago Metro was the best pizza in town. Great service & large establishments to serve lots of people. They are always clean and friendly and offer a great experience at any of their locations. The triple play has always been my favorite pizza at their locations. Though the Sicilian style is pretty good too. They have pasta's and subs which are lol delicious. A vegas staple for sure. read more

Sooo very disappointed! My husband and I have been regular customers of the Decatur location for about 25 years, and always order Metro's Triple Play pizza--one of the best Chicago-type pizzas in LV. Or at least it was! We finally drove out to the Sky Point location, and ordered our "usual" Triple Play. Surprise, surprise--it was definitely NOT the pizza we've eaten for the last 25 years! Totally different, with NO Chicago-style fennel sausage covering the pizza, but instead two different types of awful tasting sausage--one in complete crumbles and the other in large, unappetizing chunks! The entire middle of the pizza crust was actually soggy and wet! I told the server that this was definitely not a Triple Play pizza, and he insisted that's how it's made, pointing out the two different sausages on it. I suggested he look at the menu, which says that pizza is supposed to have only the Chicago sausage on it--which was not even on the pizza we were served at all. He simply walked away. For $30, to say we were disappointed would be an understatement! We sure won't be back! Pretty sad after all these years. Guess by closing up the older locations they've also decided to mess with the pizza. Two longtime customers lost! read more

My wife and I moved to Las Vegas for the 2nd time in May of 2015. We quickly heard that Metro had the best pizza in town. We have to agree, we eat there 2-4 times a month. Today, 18 June 2026 we stopped in around 330PM, our waiter's name was Dillion. He sat us and he was our waiter. He did such an incredible job, greated us with a great smile and a positive attitude. Quickly took our drink and food order and brought us some if Metro's famous bread. The pizza came out very fast, but Dillion was the star of the show. The pizza was incredible as usual. But Dillon and his positive personality was such a joy. I just want the management at the Northwest Metro to know they hired a winner. We would love for Dillon to be our server ever time!!!!

This is an update on Metro Pizza. My last review was regarding the delivery service and a few items that ended up being disappointing, especially because I do enjoy Metro Pizza overall. I decided to give the delivery service another try and ordered two regular pies that we usually get, knowing the consistency of these pizzas has always been solid. Even though I didn't order the items that disappointed me the last time, I still wanted to see if the delivery service itself would improve. After placing the order, I called Metro Pizza to confirm the delivery address, and they had everything correct. Friday night again, but this time around the delivery service was spot on with no issues at all. Our pies arrived exactly how they always should-fresh, consistent, and just like a proper pickup order. Thanks Metro Pizza for a great delivery experience this time around. 3.5 stars Respectfully. read more

We ordered two kids cheese, pizzas and calzone with spinach and cheese and a salad. The kids pizzas came with a drink, and they were a good size and tasty. It was a good decent price too for about $7. Was also reasonably priced at about 13 $14 and it tasted OK. Lots of cheese for those cheese lovers and the crust was well done and it wasn't over baked. However, the salad was disappointing because some of the lettuce was old and you could see it being brown and heavy holes in it. But the ranch sauce was nice. The location itself was really big and it wasn't too noisy because the ceilings were high. We arrived around five and seated right away, without having to wait and had a large booth which is comfortable for us. There was also Wi-Fi which made the kids really happy because they were able to watch their iPad while eating dinner. Parking was a little bit complicated because we parked in the back, and it took us a while to figure out that the entrance was on the other side of the building! But once you know that it's not a huge deal. The reason I didn't give it five stars because the service was a little slow. Everyone was really nice, but we were sitting there for over half an hour waiting for our pizzas. I saw a couple people who came in after us get served first and a lot of people getting take out. So, maybe they need a good system for prioritizing certain orders or they do the takeout first for some reason. I'm not really sure, but more than 30 minutes for Tucci's pieces and calzone is a really long time. it could've been because the calzone took longer. They wanted to bring out all the food at the same time and we should've told them to just bring out the kids cheese pizzas because they were so hungry that they were grumpy for waiting more than 30 minutes. Besides that it was a nice place and we go back with some of the changes I mentioned above that to our ordering . If you're in the area a nice family, friendly place to eat. read more

Is this our go to spot where we want pizza! Is close to our home and the service is quick. We have eating inside as well as having takeout. These pizzas remind me of New York style pizzas. The slices are huge and filled with the toppings. I always get the Bleeker street special with pepperoni at it. It is amazing. read more

If you like hair in your pizza this is the place! Contacted the store and they offered a $25 credit on a $40 pizza. Been going to Metro for 20 plus years. Service has been gradually going down. This was the last straw. Keep your $25 and I'll go somewhere else. Spent over $80 for pizzas and the customer service is like Wal mart read more

My bad, this is a review for a past visit , not today.... But I forgot to do it the day of a visit. So Metro has a 50% off special on many of their dine in pizzas on Wednesday and Thursday from 2:30 till I think 4:00-4:30. Not a bad deal since some of their large pies can get a bit expensive. Alexander was the server, apparently my favorite server Lynn (aka mama red) is no longer there... a true loss personality wise INMHO. Anyway we ordered a large metro with sausage and 'shrooms and a small dinner salad. Salad came out first as we requested, very cold and with crispy iceberg (a lot) and thinly sliced red onions etc. little plastic ramekin of salad dressing as well. Shortly after, three slices of their seeded Italian bread came out, still hot from the oven. Pizza came out shortly after, piping hot on that black stubby tray dealie. I guess it keeps it hot but I always liked the metal tray, easier to get the melty cheese off. The pizza was a bit different tasting to me this time. Still good, but maybe it was the sauce? Not as tangy? The crust was not as crispy and I thought the main part of the pizza was thinner... just my impression but still good. I mean it might have been exactly the same in every respect and we've ordered the same pizza over the years, but it just seemed different. With the discount, the check was $23 dollars and change. No military discount on top of the 50% discount but I guess that's fine. Left over Pizza went home.... Was sealed and frozen for a future couple of meals. No pictures, since I've taken many before. Will we return? Of course, but we miss Lynn read more

Honestly, one of the best pizza's in Vegas! We love the Pepperoni Shuffle. We've eaten in the restaurant and everything was great. Ordering for delivery? They can't seem to get it right. They take forever to deliver (1 1/2 hours, both times), they have their own driver, bless his heart, it's a tough job. Uber eats or door dash would probably be a more efficient option. And 1st time, the wrong pizza was delivered, and had apparently been dropped. The second time, they didn't bring the salad toppings I asked for on the side. We'll go back, but in the restaurant only for us! read more

Came for lunch and used to love this place but service these days leaves a lot to be desired. Person who sat us said it would be about 10 minute wait and asked about drinks, he never brought them. Brought out bread and butter but still no drinks. Asked another server for our drinks and a third person who was the Manager (took order for drinks but never brought them) and had to ask the original person who sat us for the drinks again. Three tables seated after us all got their drinks and food before we did. I got served my pizza and hubby is still waiting on his chicken parm sub. This is really disappointing. Ended up canceling sandwich and requested bill. Husband is diabetic and longer than 25 minutes to wait on a chicken parm sub isn't acceptable, we had planned to have a good lunch but that didn't happen. Requested bill three different times.... From two different people..... Manager knew the server was drowning, mind you she is the third person who we asked if we could place our order and she is the one who put it in the computer. We had to ask to get a refill on a drink twice. This used to be a favorite family spot but this was beyond ridiculous. After finally getting my receipt from the server he said that I needed to understand he was slammed and I should have complained to the Manager. He wished I would have gotten better service......Yes me too! It's your job to let your Manager know you need help, not mine. Lots of places to eat here locally and this won't be one of them for a while. This has been a regular place for our family for years. Won't be anymore. VERY DISSATISFIED read more

I have eaten here so many times. It's always great. Last night I ordered my usual favorite , the Modesto. Always great and I love it so much. Also, I ordered garlic knots . This is the first time ever that these garlic knots were terrible. Very doughy and there was like no melted butter garlic on top. Dry and lacking taste. And the marinara sauce to go with it was sooooo pasty . I have to say , they the worst we have ever had because the food is never bad here! I hope it was just a one time thing and not what the future is looks like read more

We placed a large order of 7 pizzas, pepperoni, couple cheese, the Gotham, one with all veggies and then there was this one pizza that had like a white sauce with garlic and it was absolutely delicious. I normally go to the one on Decatur and flamingo and will probably stick to that location for ordering pizzas the place didn't offer any plates for some reason which sucked that was the only negative that I really just feel like it's common sense to give plates when somebody place a large order to go. read more

I'm a regular at Metro pizza... and have been for well over a decade. I was watching Food Network I was streaming it. It was about the 10 best pieces in America and number 10 was the Sicilian pizza at Metro so I came here special today, to order this amazing pizza that was making my mouth water... I was told they don't know how to make it. Very disappointed, but still stayed and ordered... I've always had good experiences here (except for one waitress) I would never not come here because I am a dedicated fan of their other pizzas and their hospitality. read more

Usually we love our Metro experience, dine-in or take-out. This is about crappy quality control and lack of customer service. We ordered (take-out) a LG pizza, a Caesar Salad and wings. Our salad had slimy, smelly lettuce in it. I used the store's email link where complaints or compliments supposedly go direct to management. Gave them a week to respond before doing this review.

Came here w the fam on Halloween after going to Gilcrease Orchards. The kids were really hungry for pizza and wings. We hadn't been here in years but remembered it was really good. We were hopeful we would have the same experience. Well ...we did! First we were served hot fresh bread which was very appreciated since the kids were so hungry. We ordered a large pizza & wings. The pizza was huge, hot and delicious! Crust was perfectly cooked, not to thick or thin. Cheese was quality Mozzarella and the mushrooms, pepperoni and jalapeños were plentiful. Wings were also cooked to perfection! Served with a ton of ranch. Good ranch too not that watery bland stuff. Maybe even made in house. Our server was polite, made sure we always had refills and checked on us frequently. The atmosphere itself in the restaurant was very quiet. Not busy at all. We were there in the late afternoon and likely people were getting ready to take the kiddos trick or treating. We enjoyed having the place to ourselves for the most part. We were pleased that Metro is still serving up deli hot pies just like we remembered. We will be back! read more

In the mood for pizza so we decided to eat here again since it's been awhile. We decided to try The Pepperoni Shuffle which we loved the thinner crispy crust on this pizza. It was also loaded with 2 types of Pepperoni, the larger ones we really like, but the smaller ones that curl inward aren't particularly our favorite since they are a little spicy and hot. We also had 2 salads which were quite large, and of course the bread is always a bonus. Our server was good, we got seated immediately, food was good, and our overall experience was very good. read more

Great spot for pizza lovers! This place is fantastic -- I really enjoy their food. The pizza is delicious, the chicken tenders are always a hit, and the cannolis are my absolute favorite! We even celebrated a birthday here because we enjoy it so much. I love that they have a large dining area for families, plus a separate section for takeout -- super convenient. Looking forward to coming back to Metro Pizza again soon! read more

The food/ pizza is delicious. The portions are super small. For $40 bucks i cant make sense of it. Honestly after eating my small pizza i was still hungry. Maybe if you buy a large and spend the same amount (approximately) you see the value. In my two i am still floored on the small serving. Service was ok. Person at the counter was satisfactory but not friendly. read more

We visited on Saturday for lunch with a party of five adults and 4 small children and it was a very pleasant experience. We arrived and were seated right away in a large booth. The waitress stopped by and drink orders were taken. We started with several appetizers; Garlic Knots, Antipasto, Meatballs Sliders, Wings and a Caesars Salad. All were well prepared with large portions. We then had 3 pizzas; The Gotham, The Pantheon, and a Traditional Pepperoni. They arrived fresh and hot from the oven. Finishing things off we got a Cannoli, Chocolate Cake, and ice cream. All the food was very tasty. The service was excellent. The waitress was friendly, prompt, and professional. She was nice enough to also box up our leftovers. Overall, a great place for pizza. read more

Dillon was fantastic! Quick service with a smile although he had a busy section. The chicken wings here are perfectly fried and have a beautiful buffalo sauce that's well balanced. These are my favorite wings in the city! The thin crust on this pizza takes me back to the east coast. Do yourself a favor and go in here to order a pie. We got the small pie and a regular order of the wing a to share for two and we were more than satisfied. The restaurant is well maintained and it's nice to see the team cook the pizza in their open kitchen. They also have takeout and catering. Everything that passed by looked and smelled delicious, I'm thrilled for the next time we return. read more

I will start with the fact that Metro Pizza has always been my recommendation to anyone looking for good pizza. We have not been there in 6 months or more and decided to grab dinner last night. This was not the Metro Pizza of the past! We sat at a table with a table cloth that was cracked and dirty. Light bulbs out everywhere, even the lights hanging over the bar. Bread that is used to be soft and delicious was burned and dry, all while taking a long time to receive. Pizza arrived - one side of crust burned and not as ordered with light sauce. Pizza was delivered to table with no spatula and food runner said he'd bring one out when a spatula was available - never saw it. Large Metro pizza with liquid cheese and extra sauce - all to dish up with a knife and fork. Disappointing that this location seems to have been neglected for maintenance and training. Server rarely stopped at table. Overall not a good experience. read more

Honestly don't know how this place is highly rated. First off ladies at the front desk were great, polite and friendly. Our waiter was also nice. My problem is the food. Omg yuck. Starters we got the free bread, pretty basic nothing special. Garlic bread was HORRIBLE. It was like soft, hardly cooked and couldn't taste any garlic what an utter disappointment on the easiest appetizer you can make. I got the Honolulu. The crust itself was good. The rest was a soggy piece of vomit. Sauce was watery, all the toppings had zero char on it like they threw the toppings on after it was cooked. I tried to eat it but like it was just so displeasing. 86th street was alright similar watery sauce as the Honolulu and the flavors were just so basic. The rest of our party got the spaghetti and they said it was nothing to rave about. 5 stars for the service 0 stars for the food. read more

This location is my spot for pizzas while in town. The food is luscious, consistent, and plentiful. The service is always friendly and systematic. Sourdough bread (free): served steaming and the butter instantly melts once you slather it on. The bread has a crusty exterior, and the interior is soft with a slight sourness, 9/10 rating! Domenica salad $13.50: was ok, I'm not a fan of vinaigrette dressing, but all of the components were fresh, 7/10. Zamboni with pepperoni, sausage, and garlic: this was off the hook as it was crispy, but has an airy crust. The meats were savory, and the honey glaze on the bottom crust adds a slight sweetness for contrast and depth, 10/10! Half Milano and Bleeker Sreet (large is $32.95): Bleeker is solid, 8/10 rating. However, the Milano is phenomenal, 10/10 rating! Tiramisu: satisfying, good size, and flavor. It's more of a custard, but I dig it. 8.5/10 rating. Carrot cake ($7.95) for take-out. This was better than most carrot cakes that I've had. Buttery, and loved all the frosting, 8.5/10. read more

I have been enjoying the most amazing pizza at east Tropicana for 28 years. I moved to the north this month and got to Metro as fast as possible! I had my very first Metro Pizza at this location and it was flavorless. I ordered the special Bleecker Street sausage and garlic, and I believe I got a plain sausage pizza. The sauce was bland. There was no garlic, or garlic oil. It was dry. A vendor who services all your locations told me the Trop location is the best, and he was right! I miss that place! Every Sunday I order Pizza and I have to look for a new location. Also, hard to find! The map app had me driving all over the place to get there. read more

I've been coming here for years and usually love it, but the last few times the service has been terrible by the same server. We went on a Sunday around 4 and it wasn't too busy when we were seated, but it took 20 minutes for someone just to take our drink order. Then our server would never check on us, we had to flag her down to get her attention. We noticed people that had come in a lot after us were being served/ finished eating before we even got our food. It took an hour and a half before our pizza came out because they forgot to put our order in and overall we were there for 2 hours. read more

The flagship of John and Sam's family of pizzerias since November of 2012, with an expansive floor-plan including room to experiment with new Dough, it was alongside six others that Metro Pizza on Sky Pointe was entered at noon on Saturday, Pizzaiolo Arena already hard at work baking Las Vegas' best Crust and Toppings. Dubbed "America's Neighborhood Pizzeria" since the early eighties, though past and present Metro is so much more, it was after choosing from a multitude of tables and booths that a server approached with Beverage options including Beer, Wine and Soft Drinks. Not overly busy just an hour after opening, though doing brisk take-out and delivery, lunch began first with Bread, two piping hot Loaves proving entirely irresistible before diving into a Tavern-style Pizza made by John Arena featuring Sausage, Brocollini and Buratta kissed by Citrus. Always happy to let John cook, and more so enthralled by his encyclopedic knowledge of Pizza, it was alongside signature Knots and Garlic Romano Fries that two Pies were served simultaneously, The Zamboni turning up Sausage & Peppers with Honey while "The Gotham" delivers Supreme styling complete with Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms and three types of Meat. Onward to a "Triple Play" of Sausage on crispy rectangles the cold-fermented 86th Street is defiantly light despite its thickness, and whether served with or without Toppings there remains no better Sicilian Pizza tasted anywhere in the world to this day. Testing two new Pizzas on a willing group of thirteen, first Brazil's Catapuri with thin slices of Zucchini contrasting bold Pepper Jam, a second Tavern-style crust supported Porchetta, Pistachios and reduced Balsamic before Metro's Cannoli completed the afternoon with filling still made daily by John's nonagenarian Father. read more
