Metro Pizza serving Chicago Dog Pizza to celebrate All-Star Week
Chef/co-owner John Arena adds fresh basil to an Olde New York specialty pizza, with dozens of treys of pizza dough prepared in advance for the Super Bowl LI rush covering the wall behind him, on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2017, at Metro Pizza, in Henderson. "I was born into a third generation pizza family," said Arena. "You honor the people that taught you by taking it another step forward." (Benjamin Hager/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @benjaminhphoto
Chicago Dog Pizza at Metro Pizza. Metro Pizza
It’s not a ball game without a hot dog, but this adds another American favorite to the equation. In honor of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Week, Metro Pizza will serve the Chicago Dog Pizza from Friday through Tuesday. Built on a poppy-seed crust, it’s layered with mozzarella cheese, all-beef hot dogs, house-made giardiniera and thinly sliced Roma tomatoes, sprinkled with — of course — celery salt.
Fully loaded, it’s recommended in the 10-inch size ($13.95), although a 16-inch pie is available as well ($27.50), and dine-in is strongly recommended. It’ll be available at all Metro Pizza locations except the one at Ellis Island.
