Dom Demarco's Pizzeria & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Las Vegas

My friends were going for several years so we finally got ourselves along with 6 others to the restaurant on a Saturday night. Our friend made reservations for the patio. The couple who arrived first upon being seated was told, once you sit outside you cannot change to the inside. When she asked about the heaters on the patio, if it gets too cold, can they request a heater and the person escorting them to the table said they didn't know. They had gotten there at 5:30 for a 6:00 reservation and decided to get an appetizer. Unfortunately they couldn't get anyone to help them and the bus boy never made eye contact with them. We all finally arrived. I have been in the best restaurants. Never did I not get either bread sticks or plain bread with some kind of dip. Not here. You pay for bread. We all got water and then finally the waitress came over to get our drink order. We waited and waited and finally asked where our waitress was because we were hungry. She came over and took our order. Unfortunately she was the only waitress for the entire patio . Not a good idea. About 20 minutes later, the owner came over to our table. Stupid me. I thought he was making his rounds and mingling with his guests. After some small talk, he informs me and my friend that we cannot substitute our pasta for a salad but he can make us a house salad that we can split. We agreed to this. First of all if he is the owner, he can do anything he wants. And for what maybe costs him a buck, could have give us a salad. Their house salad consisted of spring greens and 3 pieces of tomatoe. Mighty generous for the low price of $8.00. Finally our food came out. Was the food good, yes! Was it over the top, no! Have I eaten better, yes! I kind of understood why he could t replace the pasta with a salad. In most Italian restaurants, the pasta is served in a separate bowl. Here, about a quarter of a cup of pasta is put on your main dish with some vegetables. I felt like everything was measured including my glass of wine. The entire experience was disappointing. If you want people back, you need to do better because there are enough choices. When we got into the car to go home my husband said, first time, last time and I have to agree. The prices here were comparable to other Italian restaurants with good food so why...

OK - I am updating my review of Dom Demarco's Pizzeria and Restaurant. As you can see below, I posted a less-than-complimentary review about a week ago. I had no axe to grind at all, but we did have a slightly disappointing dining experience there. I was going to dismiss it but Google asked me if I would do a review upon getting home so I did. As a result of this review, Al, the owner was naturally disappointed but was a total mensch and offered to buy us dinner on a return visit, hoping to do better.

We went back to Dom Demarco's tonight upon this offer. It was a classy move by Al to invite us back and we were totally rewarded. We ordered the same exact dishes, only changing a Mediterranean Salad to a Caesar's Salad. The entrees were SIGNIFICANTLY better. The service was great and the food was delivered promptly and piping hot. The food was delicious and the whole experience was just great. This just proves that anybody or anything is capable of having an off day, or night - we are all humans after all. We do learn from these experiences. One of the greatest things about this wonderful country is the enduring opportunity for redemption and 2nd chances. Dom Demarco's Pizzeria is a VERY GOOD place for a nice Italian meal! Thank You Al, also!

Regrettably, dining at Demarco's was a less than scintillating experience. Perhaps it's on us, being naïve or foolish enough to not order pizza at a "pizzeria", but still, ordering off the dinner entrée menu fell way short of expectations. Both myself and my wife ordered chicken dishes, me marsala and she parm. When both of us described our chicken to the other as "rubbery", that is quite telling. "Rubbery" is not typically a quality that restaurants should strive for in their chicken dishes, but they seem to have perfected it @ Demarco's. The Mediterranean salad @ $13 was on the bland side also. At least the pizza we saw did look good, so two stars and not one here, but they can do a lot better...

My husband and I recently dined at Dom DeMarco’s Pizzeria, and we had such a great experience that I had to share!

First off, the service was excellent. Our server (whose name I sadly can’t recall) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant itself. He made thoughtful recommendations and was clearly passionate about the food they serve, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

One of the little details I truly appreciated was that the water is filtered—not just for drinking, but also used in their pizza dough. It may sound small, but it speaks volumes about the quality and care that goes into everything they make.

We started with the garlic knots ($10), and they were the perfect way to kick things off. For our main pizzas, we ordered the Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Chicken (half square, $29) and the Snow White (12-inch round, $23). The square pizza had that deep-dish style crust, but it was unbelievably airy and light—a true standout! Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous enough that we had leftovers the next day (no complaints here!).

While I found the interior atmosphere to be average, the outdoor seating was lovely, especially with the beautiful setup and greenery. My only note is that the lighting where we sat was a bit too bright compared to the rest of the room.

Price-wise, it’s a little on the higher end, but it makes sense considering the quality and the area. Their lunch happy hour is half off, which is truly unbeatable and a great excuse to come back for more.

If you’re a pizza lover like me, Dom DeMarco’s is definitely...
