OT: Best pizza places in Vegas?

[cjromero]

My wife and I are coming to Vegas for 4 days in June. In 5 prior trips, we haven't found a good pizza place. Any recommendations from Vegas locals?

We are staying on the strip (Venetian), but are willing to cab to a good place.

There is really only one good pizza place in the whole city IMO. It is Aurelio's, which is south of the strip on Eastern, about 20-25 minutes from the Venetian.

hey clark what style of pizza is it?(chicago style or NY)

Has to be New York style - among true pizza fanatics - Chicago pizza can never be classified as best. Good or acceptable is the hightest classification a Chicago pizza can ever attain!!

Call me crazy, but this New Yorker enjoys a deep dish pie every now and again...

this is a riduclous statement. just because they call a 16" pizza a medium instead of an XL, doesn't make the pizza good. there has been absolutely nothing special about any ny pizza i've ever had, besides the fact that the slices are huge.

there are a number of places in chicago, that do fabulous things to their crusts, and use fantastic quality toppings.

Then you've gone to the wrong places.

you've definitely been to the wrong places. Arturo's on Thompson and Bleecker is a great one. John's on Bleecker west of 7th somewhere is another. I'm sure there are many more but these two stand out in my mind.

My gf swears New Haven, CT pizza is the best in the world but I think she's delusional.
