There's no sign and no clear indication of its location, but Secret Pizza inside the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas has a following, and foodies seek it out even if it means circling the floor and finding someone with a slice of pizza to ask where they got it.

That's what happened to me - fellow foodie Winnie told me about it, and I was aimlessly wandering the floor looking for a sign, but then I spotted someone with a slice and then I was back on track. Look for the hallway decorated with lots of memorabilia (see photo for the entrance).
Once inside, there is a counter if you want to stand and about three stools if you actually need to sit.  They're known for their white slice, so of course that's what I had to try.

- White Slice - White cheese and spices make up  this delicious slice.  It's simple and tasty, but a bit oily.  Secret Pizza has all of their pizzas on display.  They take a slice and warm it in the oven as you make your way through the line to the register and a few minutes later, you're presented with a warm slice. Tastes great, but it would be better to cut back on the oil. $5.25 slice, $28 pie

Other pizza offerings include pepperoni, plain cheese, and vegetarian. The menu is pretty simple, offering pizza, salads, and desserts - cannoli and NY Cheesecake.  Drinks offered include soda, water red bull, and beer.

If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, Cheeseboard Pizza in Berkeley offers great pie that is of a similar style, but no meat.
