Cugino's Italian Deli & Pizzeria

Have been meaning to try this place for some time and finally did. Lunch time. A good sized crowd ordering sandwiches, pasta, pizza. Located near UNLV, this place gets lots of street and foot traffic. It is owned and run by a family from Staten Island, and they have created a great replica of a New York Italian deli. Even though it was a busy lunch time, they delivered my pie in about 15 minutes, just what they promised. A large cheese pizza was $17. A little pricey for here in Vegas, but fresh ingredients and a tasty pizza. The sauce looked promising right off the bat with buts of tomato evident. A nice tang. And the cheese complemented the sauce perfectly. Great crust, nice crunch to the edge. All in all a great pie. In fact, having lived in Vegas for five years, this is the best pizza I have had here. Struggled between 7.9 and 8.1, but having eaten pizza all over the area, I doubt I will find many better. So 8.1 it is.
