Your list of favorite places to grab a slice of pizza on The Strip may have a new name on top. Pin-Up Pizza has opened at Planet Hollywood, and its surfboard-sized slices and pin-up servers are ready to fuel your next Vegas misadventure.<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up
Pin-ups got their start in the late 19th century when burlesque dancers and actresses used photos to promote themselves. The photos were pinned up, and pin-ups were born.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pin-Up Pizza bumps up against Pink’s Hot Dogs, facing Las Vegas Boulevard, and has no tables or seating.<\/p>\n

This is stand-up, grab-and-go fare, but the prices are reasonable (for The Strip), with slices in the $4.75 to $5.50 range.<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Objects in this photo are much larger than they appear. Much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We predict the pizzeria at The Cosmopolitan, often referred to as Secret Pizza, formerly the go-to spot for Las Vegas visitors with the “drunchies” (hunger spurred by hooch consumption), now has some serious competition, just across the street.<\/p>\n

“The pizza are 30 inches, cut 10 ways to get a 15-inch slice,” says Restaurant Manager Scott Kramer. That makes Pin-Up Pizza’s slices the biggest on The Strip, and in Vegas, size matters.<\/p>\n

One of this blog’s loyal readers, J.K. Grence, puts it this way, “I’m pretty sure Secret Pizza is a New York slice, which means it’s one-eighth of an 18-inch pie. The area of said slice is about 32 square inches. A tenth of a 30-inch pie is about 71 square inches. So, a Pin-Up slice is 2.22 times bigger than a Secret Pizza slice. Pretty good deal any way you slice it.”<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Good upper body strength required.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Even though we just opened, the Margherita pizza has already been a hit,” says Kramer.
\n“It’s got marinated heirloom tomatoes, a sweet tomato, with fresh mozzarella along with Pecorino Romano. We put a good starter mix in our dough that gives it a depth of flavor and bite so it’s not just flour, water and yeast.”<\/p>\n

Although Pin-Up Pizza is small, it has a big oven to accommodate the huge pizzas, described as “Neo-Neapolitan.” Frankly, we don’t care what you call it, all we know is to eat our slice, we had to do it in shifts!<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Surfboard-sized may have been an understatement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kramer says, “We’re using a gas oven, a Marcel. It has a double deck, so heat is transferred evenly throughout. It gives the crust a crispiness and that chew and ‘pull’ you’re looking for from a good pizza.”<\/p>\n

Of course, you can’t call yourself Pin-Up Pizza without having some pin-up flair, so the women who serve the pizza are dressed appropriately.<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Retro, but not too saucy. Just like the pizza, come to think of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They’re kept things streamlined at Pin-Up Pizza. Aside from the pizza, the menu includes garlic knots, a Tomato Mozzarella Salad, stromboli pinwheel, a stromboli roll and cannolis for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Here’s the full Pin-Up Pizza menu. Even we can afford this, and we’re a blog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There aren’t too many sure things on the Las Vegas Strip, but Pin-Up Pizza qualifies. The quality and quantity are great, the price point is fair, and there’s some serious foot traffic along the front of Planet Hollywood (estimated at 30-40,000 people a day).<\/p>\n

\"Pin-Up<\/a>
Come for the pies, stay for the smiles. Yes, we’ll let Pin-Up Pizza use that in their advertising.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, give Pin-Up Pizza a try and let us know what you think. And unless you’re famished, bring a friend, because they’ll need to help lift your slice so you don’t herniate yourself.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
