Review: "PizzaCake" in Harrah's Las Vegas

[The Boz]

PizzaCake is a weird shop located in Harrah's Las Vegas, owned by celebrity chef Buddy Valastro.

It's a by-the-slice pizza place, with a vending machine outside with refrigerated (and appetizing looking) cake slices.

The pizza is really good. It's expensive (about $9 per slice), but very good.




The cake... is the opposite. It's awful and inedible. And it's almost $10 after tax.





The cake was so bad that, after taking it to my room and tossing it, I came back the next day to complain. We settled on a free slice of pizza as compensation (this was offered by the manager).

They do not take RCs, as they are not Caesars owned.

That is all.

There have been a LOT of complaints about the cakes from Carlo's Bake Shop. :/ My local Casino HAD a Carlo's Bake Shop vending machine and while the cakes LOOKED delicious, I couldn't justify spending roughly $11 on a single cake slice. Publix sells single cake slices for about $4.30. Also, I could just bake an entire cake for about $9, LESS than a single cake from Carlo's Bake Shop. Carlo's Bake Shop vending machine was removed from my local Casino about a year ago. It was not a good seller at all. Carlo's Bake Shop vending machine has been replaced by a cigarette vending machine, REALLY ironic since my local Casino is smoke free. But to be fair, you can smoke OUTSIDE the Casino.

Let’s face it, a bunch of broke boons begging for bus fare isn’t exactly Carlo’s target market. A machine selling 40’s of malt liquor next to the Newport machine would have been a better choice.

Makes you wonder who makes these decisions.

Tasha, what is your favorite pizza in Miami? And have you ever had Laspada’s subs in the area?
