Score
600 S Center St #200, Reno, NV 89501, USA

Dough.cheese.sauce presents a concise menu centered on pizza. The "Burn Notice" pizza, a specific offering, garners attention, alongside cane sugar beverages.

The establishment prioritizes allergy awareness. Staff will present packaging for inspection, a detail noted as unusual for the area.

The pizza, characterized as a New York slice style, is prepared using quality ingredients. However, a significant delay in pickup of pre-ordered slices resulted in lukewarm cheese and a chewy dough. The absence of adequate seating, particularly for families, impacts the dining experience, compounded by limited parking.

New York Pizza & Pasta

Score
2400 S Jones Blvd #12, Las Vegas, NV 89146, USA

New York Pizza & Pasta offers a departure from the Strip's constant hum. The garlic knots, a frequent point of praise, present a textural contrast, crisp exterior yielding to a chewy interior. Sausage and peppers pasta arrives with a robust sauce, while the grandma slices are noted for their exceptional quality. Service maintains a welcoming tempo, with staff accommodating late arrivals and demonstrating patience with newcomers to the style.

The pizzas themselves feature a crust with a firm bottom, supporting generous toppings and ample cheese. The ratio of sauce to dough is a recurring positive observation. One notable detail from the kitchen is the uneven distribution of garlic on a white pizza, with a concentration in the center. Beyond the pies, cannolis are consistently recommended.

The establishment operates with a quiet presence, providing ample space for diners. Transactions by card incur a 3.5% charge, encouraging cash payments.

Score
4945 S Virginia St A, Reno, NV 89502, USA

MOD Pizza offers a rapid approach to customized pies, with ovens working at a pace that renders a prepared pizza ready in under ten minutes. The establishment’s foundation lies in its build-your-own model, where patrons select their crust, sauce, cheese, and an extensive array of toppings before the bake. This results in a pizza featuring a crust crisp enough to support its contents, with a proprietary spicy sauce that provides a notable kick.

The dining area provides a casual setting. Staff, including individuals like Alex and Jackie, manage the assembly line with practiced efficiency. The cauliflower crust, specifically, merits mention for its texture and ability to stand up to a generous topping load. The pricing remains accessible, particularly considering the breadth of ingredient choices.

While the speed and personalization are clear advantages, the flavor profile can sometimes lack depth. The garlic bread, for instance, was notably bland, and some pizzas struggled to deliver distinct tastes from their constituent parts. However, the option to extend the bake time offers a potential solution for those seeking a crisper finish on their custom creation.

R Town Pizza

Score
180 W Peckham Ln #1100, Reno, NV 89502, USA

R Town Pizza offers a thick, thoroughly cooked dough with a crisp exterior and chewy interior. The Detroit-style pies, such as the Devil's Night and Smokey Joe, feature well-chosen toppings. Their "Wayne Cty." preparation stands out for its complex flavor profile, distinct from more common offerings.

The "Yee Haw" dressing for the salads proves addictive, complementing the fresh greens. Cast Iron Meatballs and the Alphonse Italian hot sub represent other substantial dishes on the menu. The kitchen produces items made fresh daily, with popular selections sometimes selling out.

Service operates with genuine enthusiasm, though the staff can be overwhelmed during peak times. Reservations are not taken, and customers are advised to anticipate potential wait times, particularly if arriving when the establishment is busy.

Score
777 S Center St #100, Reno, NV 89501, USA

Noble Pie Parlor’s burg-style wings stand out, boasting a crisp texture and a tangy sauce finished with garlic. A DJ often provides a soundtrack to the dining experience.

The pizza crust, a twisted style, offers significant flavor and a soft chew. A notable absence is a pronounced red sauce, often overpowered by the cheese and garlic.

The restaurant's location in Midtown provides a convenient setting. The atmosphere is generally relaxed, with a friendly staff.
