The spots below are open to the public, consistently praised by locals, and serve pies worth the drive. Grab a slice—figuratively for now—and start planning your next pizza road trip.

1. Pizza Rock — Las Vegas

Chef Tony Gemignani’s downtown flagship blends rock-concert flair with serious pizza credentials. The menu spans Neapolitan, Roman, Chicago cracker thin, and even Detroit squares, each baked in its own specialty oven. Stop by for the Margherita that won the World Pizza Cup or branch out with the hearty Cal Italia drizzled in fig preserve. A full bar, late hours, and energetic vibe make it a reliable crowd-pleaser.

2. Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana — Henderson

Settebello earned VPN certification for faithfully following Naples’ strict guidelines—think dough fermented for 24 hours, San Marzano tomatoes, and a 900°F wood-fired oven. The crust arrives airy yet chewy, lightly charred around the edges. Try the classic Margherita DOC or the house favorite Prosciutto Crudo with a post-bake layer of paper-thin cured ham. A concise Italian wine list rounds out the experience.

3. Metro Pizza — Las Vegas

Founders John Arena and Sam Facchini have served New Yorkers-in-exile since 1980 with crust that’s thin enough to fold but sturdy enough to hold toppings. The menu showcases regional styles from across the United States, each reflecting the owners’ travels. Order “The New Haven” for a garlicky white clam pie or build your own with house-made sausage. Regular pizza-making classes add extra community spirit.

5. Evel Pie — Las Vegas (Fremont East)

Named for daredevil Evel Knievel, this Fremont Street hangout slings oversized slices until the wee hours.

Pair your slice with one of the rotating local craft brews on tap.

9. Naked City Pizza — Las Vegas

Originally founded by Buffalo transplants, Naked City became famous on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” for its thick Sicilian squares.

House-made blue cheese is a must for crust-dipping.

10. Yukon Pizza — Las Vegas

This family operation began as a backyard pop-up and now runs a permanent shop near Downtown. The 125-year-old Yukon sourdough starter gives each crust a light tang and airy structure.

Pair your squares with an Italian cocktail from the spritz-forward bar menu.

12. Giordano’s — Las Vegas (Grand Bazaar Shops)

Chicago’s iconic stuffed pizza chain planted its Nevada flag right on the Strip. Each pie layer has buttery crust, ample mozzarella, toppings, and a ladle of rich tomato sauce on top.
