What happened after Mystery Diners?

Mystery Diners' episode 'The Italian Job' (Season 6, Episode 13), which aired 2014-06-30, examined service or staffing practices at Metro Pizza, a pizzeria operating inside the Ellis Island Hotel, Casino & Brewery in Las Vegas, Nevada. In keeping with the show's format, host Charles Stiles used hidden-camera footage to document the issue investigated, then showed the recordings to the owner and discussed corrective measures for the location. According to Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, the program carries a disclaimer that certain events may be re-enacted for dramatic purposes, and a television critic quoted in the article described the show's scenarios and resolutions as implausible and staged-seeming.

A Yelp listing for the Koval Lane location was updated in August 2026 and lists 156 reviews for the restaurant. Ellis Island Hotel, Casino & Brewery's own website continues to list Metro Pizza among its on-site dining venues. Google Places records the Koval Lane address as an operational business. The restaurant's own domain, metropizza.com, returned an HTTP 403 error on a September 2026 site check and could not be used to confirm current hours or menu content directly, so this entry relies on the Yelp and casino-hosted listings rather than the restaurant's own site.
