It breaks my heart to write this. Been a fan of metro for 35 years. Watching the full service places close has been a bummer. This sliceteria opened near my house and I really wanted to support it. I’ve been here three times. The first time was great. Great selection, lots of choices. Buying by the slice is expensive but you’re paying extra for variety. Sometimes that’s worth it. That first time I’d have given it a five out of five. The second time It was all picked over and dry. Fewer choices and they were mostly what nobody wanted and were clearly old. I asked if fresh ones were coming and the answer was no. That time would’ve been a two and a half. Decided to try it again today. Tie breaker. Went at 7:15. Which is still dinner time to any normal person. Very few things left. Looked like pizza jerky. We walked out, got back in the car and drove down to Prince Street in the Durango. Triple the choices and all fresh looking. We spent 50 bucks at Prince Street that would’ve gone to metro. How many fresh pizzas would that have paid for I wonder?.
I guess the moral of this story is, if you wanna go here, call and find out when they’re actually making pizza at a pizza restaurant and time your life around them. You can’t order anything fresh , you gotta take what they offer when they offer it. Two out of three times it was trash. They seem to stop cooking at six and sell off the leftovers for two hours. I hope they sort it out. I’m rooting for them but the place was empty when we went. If you want people to pay a premium for slices and not let them order whole pies, you have to have premium slices when they come. Not sure we’ll ever go back. Really a bummer. I liked it that first time but they really don’t care about having good food available. Go early if you go. Maybe it’s better for lunch.
Scrolled Google Maps to find a lunch spot along 215 and decided to try Metro Sliceteria, brought by those behind 40+year institution Metro Pizza. This new concept opened late July 2026 at The Bend.
Atmosphere: Bright gleaming café. Main area shaped like a pizza oven, rimmed by slice cases on one side, gelato on the other. Terrazzo floor, brass railings, marbled columns, modern chandelier of crystal discs. Elegant emerald tile contrasted with a pizza-themed graffiti accent wall. Merch discreetly stocked the inset wood cubbies. Lots of windows, fortunately oriented away from the afternoon sun; ditto for the small as-yet-unfurnished patio. Order kiosks operational for the introverts but I much preferred the cheeriness of Arely and Vania. Flat screen TVs were facing both seating areas but were off/not connected. Music, at a perceptible but not intrusive level, wandered over several genres. Free water via self-serve countertop water dispenser.
Lemon Artichoke ($6.50): Two* Roman style slices. Bottoms well-blistered and crisp with excellent air pocket distribution. Toppings super lemony (just how I like it), creamy consistency, artichokes at good chew. Delicious.
NY Style Abbondanza ($6.50, comped): A surprise gift. Traditional style, even spread of the pepperoni, sausage, and ham, nicely seasoned. The very tip was a bit floppier than my preference but at least didn't dribble oil onto my shirt. Was not able to do full justice to it unfortunately as it arrived as I was polishing off the second Lemon Artichoke piece, but the couple bites I had were great.
Pistachio Noir (Dubai Chocolate) Gelato ($4 for the small cup): Supplied by Villa Dolce. Well-packed from a full-size scooper. Rich but not too, creamy, and fatty without weighing like a rock in the belly. Came with a crisp wafer.
Mexican Coke ($6) 355ml bottle. Also available in a can.
*Lucked out on my timing to order within the Red Dot 2-for-1 Same Slice Special.
Value: Above average to excellent for premium food.
Service: Super delightful from the aforementioned Arely and Vania.
misc
Although Sliceteria has been open only a month as of this review, its website claims already the pizzeria slings not only the "Best Pizza in Spring Valley, NV" but also is "Las Vegas's [sic] Premier Slice Emporium". Gotta admire the confidence.

Today we have visited the new Metro Sliceteria at The Bend near Durango and Sunset, directly across from IKEA . It's a cute, casual spot where you can stop in for a quick slice, sit down and eat, or grab a few slices to take home.
When you walk in, place is spacious and inviting with a Instagram photo opportunity upon entering. There are plenty of slices to choose from. The traditional to lets say more creative.
The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about pizzas. They truly appreciate their customers and are very attentive.
All the different pizza options are displayed very nicely with clear signs. They also sell salads and desserts like tiramisu and carrot cake and of course real Italian gelato 🍨.
We have tried: Grandma style peaches and cream, Mini calzone, NY style chorizo, NY style abondanza .( definitely a MUST TRY) .
We highly recommend visiting this cute, spacious place and trying out different types of pizzas. 🍕
We checked out the new Metro Sliceteria at The Bend near Durango and Sunset, and I really like the concept! It’s a cute, casual spot where you can stop in for a quick slice, sit down and eat, or grab a few slices to take home. They also have gelato!!!
They had a really good variety of pizzas on display, and honestly most of them looked good, which made it hard to choose. 😂 The 86th Street Meatball immediately caught my eye, so I ended up getting one to take home.
We tried the BBQ Brisket and the Butter Sesame Grandma’s Pie while we were there. The BBQ Brisket was okay. There wasn’t anything necessarily wrong with it, but for me it just didn’t have a flavor that really stood out compared to the other slice we tried.
The Butter Sesame Grandma’s Pie, though… SO good. That was easily my favorite. The crust had a great texture and the sesame added such a nice flavor. It was one of those slices where I was immediately happy I picked it and would definitely order it again.
I also really like that this isn’t just another basic pizza by the slice place. There are different styles and combinations to choose from, so it actually makes you want to come back and try something completely different next time.
The restaurant itself is nice, clean and casual, and it works just as well for sitting down for a quick meal as it does for grabbing pizza to go. It’s also a great addition to The Bend because there are so many new places opening in this area.
Definitely worth checking out if you’re a pizza person. Not every slice was a home run for me, but the Butter Sesame Grandma’s Pie alone made me want to come back, and I still need to properly try that 86th Street Meatball I brought home! 🍕

Metro Sliceteria Pizza is, hands down, the best pizzeria I've eaten at in Las Vegas. And I've tried just about all of them.....the well-known pizza spots, the neighborhood favorites, and everything in between. In my opinion, Metro Sliceteria has earned my vote as the best pizzeria in Las Vegas! It simply doesn't get any better than this, folks!!!
From the moment you walk through the front door, you're hit with that unmistakable aroma of a real pizzeria. If you've ever walked into a classic New York pizza shop, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Before you even order, you know you're in the right place.
The restaurant is spotless, and the staff greets you the moment you walk in. I really like the layout. It's designed in a half-moon shape, so you naturally move down the line, looking at all the fresh pizzas first, then the salads and desserts, followed by the beverages and checkout. On the opposite side is a beautiful display of homemade gelato with around ten different flavors.
The dining room is just as impressive, with marble tables, high-top seating, traditional tables for families and larger groups, and a direct view into the kitchen where you can watch the chefs working the ovens. Everyone is smiling, working hard, and you can tell they take pride in what they're serving.
The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. The music is at just the right volume, you can enjoy it without having to raise your voice to have a conversation. It creates a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can take your time and enjoy your meal.
Another thing I like is the flexibility. You can stop in and grab a slice if you're on the go, or you can order an entire pie to take home, which is what I do when I'm feeding the family. It's nice having both options.
Now let's talk about my favorite....the 86th Street Pepperoni Old School Pizza. It was recently recognized by the Food Network as one of the Top 10 Pizzas in America, and after tasting it, I completely understood why. This is a Sicilian family recipe, and the first bite tells the whole story. The ciabatta-style crust is light, crisp, and never greasy. The pepperoni, sauce, cheese, and seasonings all come together perfectly. Every bite had me wondering what they put into it because the flavors are so well balanced and satisfying. It's one of those pizzas you start thinking about before you've even finished your first slice.
Metro Sliceteria is located in The Bend on Sunset Road, across the street from IKEA if you'refamiliarwith the area, making it easy to find whether you're a Las Vegas local or just visiting. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible.
A special thank you to Sam, the owner, for creating something truly special. Great food, an outstanding atmosphere, friendly service, and some of the best pizza you'll find anywhere. This is a place I'll be recommending to everyone. Five stars without hesitation.
