Week 105 Pizza Natali

Hi Everyone, first of all we are sorry for the delay with these blogs between both of us working like crazy, baby Lincoln on the way and a packed social calendar, it sometimes is hard to sit down and write a blog. Well, we are back. Remember, you can always find updates on when blogs will be posted and of course my outfit of the week provided by Patty's Closet posted immediately on our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/thenewlywedsguidetovegasrestaurants .

What Teray Says...

So as I mentioned above, life hasn't slowed down much recently and we had spent the whole day before this blog at the M Pool. You know how sometimes when you are out all day all you want to do is order some take out? Well, that was us on this day. We had a Groupon for Pizza Natali, so that made our decision as to where we were going to get food.

Now, as many of you know from reading these blogs, pizza and sushi are my favorite foods. Being I am preggo, pizza has taken the number one spot. I am very judgemental of pizza as well growing up Italian and being from NJ; I know the best pizza when I eat it. 

To spend the money on our Groupon we ordered some garlic bread and the Ultimate Meat Pizza which consisted of pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, gyro meat, provolone, salami, mozzarella and capicola. This pizza was beyond loaded with meat and was super delicious. I normally can eat about three pieces in one sitting. With this I could only eat one and saved some to have another one the next day. The meat was so filling and I became full very fast. 

I have to say this pizza was on par with pizza I have had on the east coast, probably some of the best I have had in Vegas too. The great thing also about Pizza Natali is you can call them and tell them what time you want it ready, not like some places where it is just 30 minutes. You could call at 3:00 and say you wanted to pick it up at 5:00. I personally think that is very convenient. 

Overall, I would rate Pizza Natali 5 out of 5 because I finally found some pizza up to my standards. 




What Brett Says...

Life has been going crazy; between work and this baby coming.  We found another deal for some food, between Groupon, Yelp, and Living Social there is always a way to save some cash.  We were in the mood for some pizza.  Considering Vegas is not really known to have very good pizza we decided to get some at a NY inspired restaurant.  We went to "Pizza Natali" on East Windmill.

We got it ask takeout so there isn't much to say about service or the physical restaurant.  I will say that I ordered the food in advance and set a pickup time.  I arrived about 5 minutes early and the pizza was in the oven, it was nice knowing that the pizza wasn't sitting out waiting on me.  Everyone seemed friendly and seemed to be in a good mood.  This isn't a place to sit down and eat, there was a small counter to sit and eat at but this is primarily take out style place.  They had a lot going on inside, almost too much.  The represented the NYC area well with the decorations, they also had a fish tank of the counter which I found a little odd.  Regardless, nothing would keep me from going back.

As for the food, we got the meat lovers pizza.  The pricing is higher then your chain pizza places but that is expected and they aren't ridiculously priced.  The pizza was pretty good.  There are plenty of places that claim to be NY style, the slices were smaller then the ones in NYC but the pizza itself was just as good.  There was tons of meat on it and it was still hot when we got home.  There really isn't much to say regarding pizza, it was either good or not.  It's either a place to return to or not.  Natali is a place to return to.

Overall I think you get the idea...order take out, deal with friendly people, and enjoy a good pie.

Rating 5 out of 5

Week 104 Surang's Thai Kitchen

Hello readers and welcome back! We hope you are all enjoying your summer. Can you believe it is August already? The time has flown by so fast! Remember, you can always find our blog on our Facebook page, which we update frequently and if you haven't already please like our page, https://www.facebook.com/thenewlywedsguidetovegasrestaurants . 

What Teray Says...

So this week that we to Surang's Thai Kitchen, I was beginning my second trimester and got my first of few cravings that I had so far. I really wanted Thai food and we didn't feel like driving anywhere far, so I type Thai food 89148 in Google and found that we had never been to Surang's Thai Kitchen. 

Surang's is located at Ft. Apache and Mesa Vista in the southwest. It isn't a fancy restaurant, more like somewhere you would go for lunch or to take out food. When we arrived we were the only people there, a big group came in about halfway through our meal, but like I said we basically had the whole place to ourselves. 

We both decided on chicken pad Thai, thinking it was the lunch special with soup and ragoon because the menu we were given had that on there. When we got our food, we were informed that is not on the week-ends. In my opinion, we should not have been given that menu then. Maybe it is because I am pregnant and pretty hungry the majority of the day, but I was disappointed. Other than that, the service was decent. 

Back to the chicken pad Thai, it was delicious and the portion size was good. I ate almost every bite except some of the chicken, because at that time I was still having a hard time getting down meat and poultry. Overall, I would visit there again if I were in a hurry for take out, but won't be rushing back anytime soon. I hate Surang's 3 out of 5. 





What Brett Says...

One of the cool things about having a wife that's pregnant is the fact that she will always have cravings making it that much easier to pic where to eat.  This week we went for lunch, Thai food was the craving of the week.  We decided to go with "Surang's Thai Kitchen" on Ft, Apache in the southwest part of town.  

The inside of the restaurant is pretty standard as far as Asian strip mall restaurants go; very few tables and a large counter for to-go orders.  It did look pretty clean which can be a challenge with take out centered restaurants.  The service was very good, there was only one server since it was a Saturday lunch crowd...us and one other table.

We looked online and saw this amazing lunch special, we were instantly let down when we were told that it does not apply on the weekends.  I'm not sure what their week day crowd looks like but they might benefit from offering the special on the weekend.  Regardless the craving must be fulfilled.  I ordered chicken pad Thai, this is usually Teray's go to.  I ordered it because I always end up eating half of Teray's food and I always like her pad Thai more then my dish.  So this time I decided to smarten up and just follow her lead.  The dish was very good, I wasn't completely full (maybe if the special was available) but there was a decent amount of food.  The food had a little bit of a kick even though I ordered it on the milder side.  That being said the spice tasted right and I wouldn't have wanted it as mild as I was originally hoping for.

Overall I think this is a good place to go for a quick meal, the food was good.  I would say go during the week so you can get more bang for you buck.
