Not my Chi-town pizza

by Djaddi at Citysearch

Two weeks ago we were in Chicago and had Gio's pizza and oh, it was the bomb. It oooooozed fresh Mozzarella and the spinach was fresh spinach layered on the bottom with just a nice amount of sauce on top. So, when I read the reviews I thought YES! I don't have to ship Gio's to Las Vegas. Sad to say, that isn't the case.

The crust was good. The sauce had a nice flavor. But it stops there. The spinach was frozen spinach so there was a slime consistency to it. There was half as much cheese as was needed and it felt like they put so much sauce on top to make up for the lack of mozzarella.

For lunch I took 2 pieces, cut the crust off of one, removed over half the spinach and sauce and put them together. It wasnt half bad, but still ...not Gio's.

The staff was very nice and pleasant. The calamari was ok. It needed to be a bit crispier but had good flavor and was the right tenderness.

• Pros: Nice service.
• Cons: Not as good as the reviews

Closest thing to Chicao style in Vegas!

Let me first say I had given up on finding a real Chicago style pizza place in Las Vegas until I had Amore Taste of Chicago. I am from Chicago and had been searching for some good stuffed and thin crust pizza and found it. To give you a judging point, in Chicago my favorite pizza was Giordano's stuffed and Amore is the closest thing to it. I have eaten their thin crust and stuffed and both very good. In addition, I used to love Portillo's italian beef in chicago. While Amore's is not Portillos, it is very good and definitely the closest thing in Vegas to Chicago italian beef. I have pretty much tried every pizza place in Vegas and Amore is the best!

• Pros: Taste Like Chicago Pizza
• Cons: None
