"Opened July 24 in the former Sugars Home Plate location about 65 miles northeast of Las Vegas in Overton, this new restaurant from magician Criss Angel offers breakfast, lunch and pizza and launched with partners pizzamaker Mike Baram and his brother Costa Sarantakos and executive chef Amy Coram Reynolds, who has crafted a ‘something-for-everyone’ menu. Overwhelming demand — with customers reportedly lining up since 7 a.m. and averages exceeding 750 guests per day — led to daily shortages of food and supplies and multiple POS system crashes. Management announced an immediate closure of roughly 30 days to add staff, expand the kitchen, and install a new refrigeration system to bring operations up to the required volume." - Susan Stapleton
