Vontaze Burfict just wanted some pizza while in Las Vegas over the weekend. Well, not just some<\/em> pizza. This secret pizza is located in a hidden corner of Vegas’ Cosmopolitan.<\/p>\n

The former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, who earned a reputation and several suspensions for dirty hits on the field, was arrested Saturday morning at The Cosmopolitan. According to TMZ,<\/em> Burfict and his group searched for a pizza place. While unsuccessful in their search, they accused casino security of tailing them.<\/p>\n

Pleasantries were exchanged, and the guards alleged Burfict hit one of them. Hopefully, it wasn\u2019t like the hit he laid on Antonio Brown<\/a> nearly five years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las Vegas Metro Police arrived and arrested Burfict. He now faces a misdemeanor battery charge.<\/p>\n

Burfict signed with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played seven seasons for them through 2018. He signed with the Oakland Raiders last year, but he drew a 12-game suspension for another helmet-to-helmet hit. According to SBNation<\/em>, Burfict has drawn fines totaling more than $4.5 million in his playing career.<\/p>\n

He did not hang on with the Raiders after they moved to Sin City. The 30-year-old is an unsigned free agent.<\/p>\n

What is Secret Pizza??<\/h2>\n

So, about that pizza place. The Cosmopolitan has a joint called Secret Pizza. It’s hidden somewhere on the third floor of the hotel. It’s so secretive, it’s not even mentioned on the Cosmopolitan website, and there’s no signage indicating the entry.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, it\u2019s easier to get to Hogwarts than it is this place.<\/p>\n

It’s like a speakeasy for pizza — a hidden eatery located at an unmarked location on the Cosmo property,\u201d<\/strong> TMZ<\/em> reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, Secret Pizza is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of place. There is no in-between.<\/p>\n

If you can't find Secret Pizza, you don't deserve to have it. https:\/\/t.co\/MyaVaxlKp2<\/a><\/p>\n
