Las Vegas is the epitome of luck and I feel lucky having stumbled upon Las Vegas Pizza in West Chester, PA. Wesley and I are taking a trip to Las Vegas Pizza right in the town of West Chester. We are going to test our luck as well as going to test out the slice at this newfound destination for Wesley and me.
The vibe when we stepped in was amazing. I felt like we traveled back in time to the most stereotypical pizza shop ever and I mean that in the best way possible. They had the classic menus of older pizza shops, colorful seating areas, and a wonderful staff.
When Wesley and I first initially went to Las Vegas Pizza, the owner was not there so we couldn’t get approval to film/take photos inside. I went back a few days later though to get some photos. Not only was the owner there to give me permission, but we also had a great conversation about the shop and his experience in the town of West Chester.
Meet Tony Schiano…
Tony Schiano – The owner of Las Vegas Pizza, is an awesome person. He raved about the people of West Chester and how much he enjoys being in the town. He says West Chester is a “good place to be” and that he “loves seeing the people and the same road outside”. Tony and Las Vegas Pizza have been at the same location in West Chester for 52 years! There’s a good chance Las Vegas Pizza is older than you reading this right now.
Being in the same place for so long like this usually means you’re doing something right and in this case, it’s good pizza. Tony recommends the Grandma slice, and I’m sure it’s delicious; But as you know, for our reviews, we keep it simple with a nice plain slice as the benchmark. Finally, Tony wants to say, “Thank you everyone, for 52 years!”, and hopefully many more to come for Tony and Las Vegas Pizza.
The Pizza…
Now let us get into the pizza itself! Even with the name Las Vegas Pizza, this was a very classic New York style slice which I personally love. The cheese to sauce ratio was done very well and the sauce was a great mix of sweet, but flavorful.
The crust was one of if not the best part of slice. Some may think that’s a negative, but if the crust is the best part of your slice, usually that elevates the taste and score of the whole slice. We have to remember that pizza does start with the dough. So, if that’s not done well, the whole pizza won’t be done well.
But that is not the case for Las Vegas Pizza. I gave the slice a score of 8.2/10 and Wesley scored it at 8.0/10. A great showing for sure. Las Vegas Pizza shows why they have been a staple of West Chester for 52 years and counting!
