I've been eating here for years. Excellent pizza and great house-made salad dressing.
This time we dined here we ordered the Four Corners Pizza $23. It is a pizza topped Eggplant/Ricotta on 2 slices, Sausage/Garlic 2 slices, Ricotta/Spinach/Garlic 2 slices, and Sausage/Peppers/Onions 2 slices. This was an amazing pizza. I had at least a bite of every kind and they were all very good. I really liked the crust too. This pizza was huge!!!
-1 star because our server was horrible. He took our order and then brought the bill that's it. Thankfully his busser was very good and made sure we had everything we needed.
I really like this places pizza. I will definitely continue to go back to Metro Pizza.

I will continue to try new pizza places, but for now, Metro's "four corners" will be the destination when friends come to visit. I'm sure they have other delicious pizzas, as well as less-awesome selections, but this was the best I've had since Chenellos' Alexander the Greek.
It's about $25 for the large four corners, but my date and I didn't even finish half of it before we threw in the towel.
Some negatives that I learned in a previous delivery experience:
-the Atomic Fries are nothing special, pass on them. Also, don't be an idiot (like I was) and order fries for delivery. Can you say "soggy and disgusting waste of $7"?
-the delivery fee is outrageous (I think it was $5) and it took over 90 minutes for a 5:00 order. The store on Tropicana is nice, just go in and avoid the fees and waiting.
This is a family hang out., I cant count the times when we went there to make decisions. Chicago style thin crust. My Fave is the sausage and mushroon extra cheese, enough to take home after. Skip the desert, but after all that Pizza who needs the calories?

Totally not blown away by the hype... the salad dressing is addictive and good -- but the greens weren't. The pizza... I'll take Patsy Grimaldi's, Three Brothers or Sette Bello anyday over this.
Has someone taken their eye off the ball here?
A bit overrated...
Considering all its accolades, I was not wowed by the pizza at Metro. I can name dozens of places I've been to with better pizza. Price and bad service by employees who appear to be CCSN rejects doesn't help either, but the atmosphere was nice.

On a recent 1 day visit to Vegas I had a chance to try "delivery" from this place. Please remember that I am rating the experience only from a delivery perspective. If you eat at this establishment, you are likely get a warmer and fresher food experience in comparison to delivery.
If all people who come to Vegas are like me, Vegas will go bankrupt. I don't gamble, I don't need ladies of the night and I don't like the glitzy man made concrete hotels. So basically I sit here in my "off the strip" hotel and try to ignore the drinking and frolicking happening here all night. If one more person says "What happens here stays here", I'm going to do a Kaczynski.
Vegas is all about relieving people of their hard earned money.
To that end, making pizza is not on anyone's radar. This town
has invented so many more profitable ways to make money and as a result
we have no Great Pizza Experience. Having said that, I have to tell you
this place makes a decent pizza. I did not want the usual Franchise
places but needed a reliable local place. They delivered within the hour.
The pizza was not super hot, however I was not expecting it to be. They did however
give plenty of plates and napkins, along with a 2 liter soda bottle. This was perfect
for the solitude I was looking for. Even after 2 hours the pizza stood up to the test
of not tasting bland or soggy. If you are reading this and want pizza
at home or in your hotel room, do not hesitate, they make a good pizza.
Don't expect perfection however. The pizza will not be piping hot and
the delivery dude might not be an enthusiastic twenty something but you
have to look beyond these issues..
Also Yelp has the WRONG NUMBER for this place
THe Correct Number is 702-736-1955

I was in charge of a bachelor party and needed to get enough food to a hotel to feed 18 guys before heading out for an evening's debauchery. I asked around town, and the results were unanimous:
Two Vegas Yelpers: "Metro Pizza."
Waitress at the TI pool: "Metro Pizza."
Cabbie: "Metro Pizza, and then let me take you to Treasures, they got the hottest girls in town."
Kandi at Treasures: "Metro Pizza."
So I went with Metro Pizza, and it was great. The pizzas were a little pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. They deliver to the strip for only a small surcharge, they got the pizzas there when they said they would, and everyone was impressed with the quality of the pizza. I'll be back in Vegas in two weeks and am definitely going to order from them again.

Food is always good. If you come in on the right day (check the calendar), they might be doing free nuclear fries (very good) or free canolis (also very yummy). It's good for dates or for large groups. Really it's just always good.
I found this place on yelp, and for that I need to thank my fellow yelpers who gave us this tip. Pizza was fabulous, as were the garlic fries, but the free bread at the beginning was out of this world. We had one of their specials with basically every kind of meat, peppers and onions. It was really very good. Service was quick and very polite. I liked it so much I took the leftovers to the hotel room, set them on the A/C and ate it the next day for breakfast. BTW the large pizzas are HUGE. A little pricey but it was good enough to justify the cost.
Metro Pizza is one the liveliest pizza joints I've ever been to and its more like a dining / catering hall as it looked like a cafeteria inside with a lot of buzz from hungry customers everywhere. Plenty of groups are eating here and while the price of the pizza is a bit hefty, however, its absolutely delicious. This would be a prime location for many Vegas drunkards, but they don't open late unfortunately.
The thin crust pizza was just light enough to feel the crisp and it was pizza that tasted clean and wasn't all over the place. Deep crust looked equally delicious and the meat pie was a savage's delight. It was full of sauce, plenty of toppings, and thick enough to where people with small mouths would have trouble biting down. Its not all about pizza here, their salads look very hearty and the fantastic "nuclear fries" are a heart attack waiting in a box.
Metro Pizza is really good. My wife and I are rather unadventurous, so we usually just get a regular pie with pepperoni and sausage. The bread they give you beforehand is also very good. The ambiance at the newer locations is much nicer, but if you want a trip back to the 80s, check out the one on Decatur.
I was looking for a place to go with a group of friends, and we spotted this place on Yelp.
Summary- Pizza so good you'll slap your momma.
We had a stuffed meat pizza, 2 pitchers of beer, and a huge appetizer for less than $60. It was epic and amazing. I actually took a picture of the pizza to show people. If you have a car and can make it about a mile off the strip, eat here.
Vegas is known for a lot of things. Gambling, of course. Bright lights, yes. Hookers, drugs, and what happens here staying here - yes, yes, and not so much, you idiot. It WILL get back to your wife. Anyway, I digress - Vegas is known for a lot of things. One thing it's NOT known for is good pizza. Generally the Hut is the pick of the litter for most people in the valley. If only those poor, misguided souls knew about the wonders of Metro Pizza.
Always hot and fresh, and always more than you can eat, Metro serves up the best pies in the city. From regular you-call-its to different and tempting specialties to stuffed pizzas so huge that finishing one slice is a task, everything offered here is top notch. And it doesn't stop at pizzas - pastas, salads, sandwiches, calzones, paninis - I've never heard one person complain about anything they've eaten from here.
Their dine in service is great, their carry out service is always prompt and the orders correct. The only thing to be wary of is the dinnertime crowds; but if that many people like it, you know it's good.

Good pizza, which you can order thin or deep dish, great fries (called "nuclear fries here, and for good reason!)
Close to the airport, so makes an easy last stop.

Ya, this place is good. The placemats are lots of fun if you are there with some friends. I like it because it is mainly locals, not tourists. The fried calamari is AWESOME!!!!! Sometimes they have specials like if you wear a hawaiian shirt you get 20% off. I guess you have to call and find out before you go though.
Great pizza. Take advantage of the deal they often have M-Th 2:30-4:30pm when pizzas are half price. Yummy bread. Great pasta pie and pepperoni pizza. Tropicana is the best location.
Metro has great pizza (served piping hot on silver stands) and solidly decent calzones and pasta.
The best part about Metro is the atmosphere: The tables are covered in white butcher paper and each table is given a pile of crayons. While this may be a ploy to distract customers from the hungry anxiety of waiting for their order (you can't watch steaming pizzas carried through the restaurant - past your table - while you're occupied with tic-tac-toe), the wait hasn't been unbearably long in my experience.
They also have theme nights, like 70's/Woodstock and Hawaiian. I seem to remember something about dressing up and getting some sort of discount. This is great place for a lively group outing. (The Flamingo/Decatur location is slightly more intimate).
In sum: A casual, fun place with good pizza.
