text: Mr. Puck strikes again with another excellent somewhat casual little gem, this time tucked away in the Crystal shops at City Center.  This place shares many of the accolades you'll find at Puck's Bar & Grill in MGM, but falls a bit short of it's big brother in consistency, food quality, and service - The Pizzeria & Cucina, however, is still relatively green when compared to the Bar & Grill, and with time I would expect to see the P&C move into line with the B&G.\n\nThe P&C is a bit more casual than the B&G, and most of the other Puck establishments in Vegas.  Seating can be a bit slow at time, and the service is noticeably more casual and laid back than some of the other locations.  As you would imagine, the pizza here is top notch, and would be recommended.  The a large portion (if not all) of remained of the menu seems to be ported over from the Bar & Grill, however the execution is typically less consistent here.  The food is in no way bad, or even close to it, but the casual attitude in the front of the house seems to have found it's way back into the kitchen as well.  \n\nI should note that during my first visit here (with my parents), they mentioned I was a local, and the server gave up 20% off the check - it was a very nice touch.  While I am mentioning the bill, the Pizzeria is definitely a bit more affordable than the Bar & Grill, which is about the only advantage it has over it's big brother.\n\nThe bottom line: this is a great place to eat, but it's worth the extra walk up the strip to the Bar & Grill in MGM Grand; however, if you are too lazy, you will not be dissatisfied with the Pizzeria & Cucina.
