I really like the pizza, but does the hole-in-the-wall, dirty, grumpy, loud vibe seem a little too manufactured to anyone else? I mean, I'm sure those pizza makers are GENUINELY grumpy, they have to serve up a steady stream of pies all day long, deal with stupid questions, drunk hotel guests, people bringing in giant crowds AND people who whine about them not having their kind of pizza ready. But the brick walls, the white t-shirt and apron outfits, the old pictures, and the pinball machine (which is obviously just there to help develop the ambiance because there is NOT enough room for it to be there) are just a bit forced. I mean, everyone knows LV is a place of many tastes and cultures, but I'm a little off-put by fabricating a NY pizzeria in the middle of your hotel/casino. I think my problem is, that while LV has a ton of recreations of things and places, they are all loaded up with kitsch, and secret pizza keeps the kitsch minimal- like they are going to trick us into not noticing what they're going for. Okay, if you've read this far, you're probably like "Why is this girl giving them 4 stars if she's just gonna complain about stuff?" And to you I say, "SORRY- had to get it out of my system." Anyway, the pizza is good. I wouldn't say it's the best pizza I've had in my life or even the best Pizza west of NY, but it's a good pie. I know everyone makes a big fuss over the white pizza, but the homemade sausage they put on top their pies is SO good. If you're in the cosmo and you're drunk, hungry, or even if you think you can't eat another bite- GET A SLICE! drinks are a rip off and come in a red cup that is super hard to handle if you're juggling slices of pizza, a bag, children or whatever in your other hand.

Fairly expensive for the food they provide. Service is so so. Only got drinks when asked. Sashimi is sliced too thick, feels like you are eating raw fish fillet than sashimi.

Maybe it's because I'm not a huge fan of burgers, or maybe my expectations were just too high... The burger I had here was good, the chicken sandwich was pretty good too. The frozen custard... well.. I've never had frozen custard before, so maybe it was the best, but I didn't think it was any better than an original dairy queen soft serve. The service is rude, in my opinion. It was my first time and they asked what I wanted, so of course, to be easy I say "however it comes" and the response was in a better-than-you, teenage burger snob tone: "well, they COME plain, so you want it plain?" ummm... no. "okay, then I'll take everything" "so you want pickles?" "yes" "mustard and ketchup" "yes" well, if I wanted to do it that way I would have asked you to name off the ingredients... The fries were great and the chili fries were really great, but they still don't hold a candle to my childhood fave- Weinerschnitzels chili fries.. mmm....

Charlotte's got a lot of great pizza places, but for my money, Libretto's is near the top. The pizza's about as authentic, NY-style as it gets, the pasta dishes are wonderful, and the garlic knots out of this world. Kid-friendly atmosphere and a convenient Ballantyne location make Libretto's a must.
