We’ve compiled a list of the can’t-miss pizzerias, from the secret and ideal late-night jaunt to the full sit-down experience. Choose one or tour them all. No ranking here, just great pizza.
1. Loaded Pizza in a Laid-back Bar Setting
Five crave-worthy pies are on the Red Dwarf menu at this tiki-dive-bar-meets-neighborhood-pizzeria mashup found about 12 minutes from the Strip. In Detroit-style fashion, each square slice arrives with a thick, fluffy crust and lots of cheese and toppings. Order garlic bread with red or white sauce for dipping, and pair your meal with a wide selection of rotating beers on tap or a tiki-style cocktail.
2. Artisan Pizza with Rooftop Views
Gourmet pizza made with high-quality ingredients and serious flavor is served at How Ya Dough'n Pizza at BLVD Las Vegas, where views overlook the Strip. Each pie comes with daily-made sourdough crust, and you can grab a seat at the counter or at a table outside or take it to go. The mouthwatering menu features rotating monthly specials alongside classic and specialty 12” and 16” pies like the Cremini, topped with mushroom cream, fontina, mozzarella, roasted onion, cremini mushrooms and chives. Round out your meal with a crisp Caesar or arugula salad, crowd-pleasing apps like hot wings and meatballs, and don’t skip dessert — a chocolate chip cookie or scoop of ice cream.
3. A Hidden Counter for Classic Slices
The vintage record covers lining the hall and a classic pinball machine in the corner will let you know you’ve found Secret Pizza, a good, old-fashioned pizza counter hidden on the third floor of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Get a sizzling hot regular slice or, if you crave more, full pies are available. Secret Pizza keeps it simple and delicious: Choose from pepperoni, cheese and veggie, with select beer and soft drinks to complement. It’s standing room only in this “secret” spot, but feel free to take your slice and explore the area.
4. Creative Pies with a Retro Vibe
Rattlesnake sausage, peppadew peppers and “man candy” bacon are just some of the daring toppings you can expect at Evel Pie. The downtown, ’70s-inspired joint is named for legendary Evel Knievel, and it’s packed with memorabilia, including a bronze statue of the daredevil himself. From vegan and gluten-free options to irreverent specials like the Barry White Special, a four cheese, white pizza extravaganza, Evel Pie is as bold, daring and fun as its namesake. Happy hour runs from 2-6 p.m.
5. Global Pizza Styles Found Downtown
Artisan pizza meets a rock-and-roll mentality, backed by 40-plus beers and an epic cocktail program at Pizza Rock. Wood ovens cook up perfectly charred pizzas with tomatoes straight from Naples, Italy. Chicago-, New York- and Detroit-style pies all find a home in this one-of-a-kind pizzeria, located less than 10 minutes from the Strip. The energetic atmosphere is infectious and the music is as loud asthe flavors in this downtown destination. Don’t miss Sunday’s Acoustic Brunch with its delectable breakfast pizzas that put a twist on your favorite classics.
