Verona Pizza was the pick for lunch in the lab today because a pamphlet was thrown in the crack of the door of a friend's apartment.. \n\nWe ordered a large pizza topped with just pineapple (a favorite of a girl in our lab, who's vegetarian), an order of chicken wings spiced medium, and a 2-liter of soda (Sierra Mist). When I arrived to pick up the order, we were greeted by a gentleman who told us that he had just called Tim (the guy who placed the order) to let him know it was done- he didn't want to take it out of the oven and let the food get cold. \"Cool!\" I thought, as I paid the man and picked up our food, which came out to about $28. So while we were carefully juggling all the food, he asked us where we worked and asked us to hand out some menus and call him after our meal to let him know how everything was. They get an A in guest service, I really appreciate when an owner cares about the guest, but the food wasn't all that special.\n\nPizza: The dough wasn't that bad, but the sauce was lackluster. Unfortunately, bland sauce typically means bland pizza. Cheese was adequate and there was plenty of pineapple on the pizza. It was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't terrible either. I don't know that I would come here for their $3.99 2 slice pizza special as others have come for, since I imagine that re-heated ordinary pizza is probably worse. \n\nWings: The wings weren't bad. There was no spice to them at all, and they were overcooked a bit (I think the restaurant probably par-cooks them before then refries them to order to make sure everything is cooked). Although I appreciate them taking the time in serving fully cooked chicken, they would definitely be better if they were cooked completely to order. There was many more wings than I had expected, although they were small. One more bone to pick, if I must, there weren't any carrots or celery served with the wings. :(\n\nTHE RANCH HERE IS DELICIOUS!! It probably knocked the wings up from 2.5 stars to 3. \n\nOverall, it wouldn't be my first pick for pizza. HOWEVER, since the place is right across the street from UNLV, I imagine we will be ordering from here at least once more. I plan on calling the manager/owner tomorrow and letting him know how lunch was. Who knows, maybe they'll impress me next time. :)
