It’s fairly common knowledge that, in addition to its many Casinos, Hotels, Bars, Lounges, Nightclubs, and Entertainment Shows, Las Vegas is home to some very high-class restaurants.
However, few people know that the Las Vegas Strip boasts some of the best pizzas in the country. From authentic slices to creative twists on tradition, Vegas has it all.
Read on for a list of our favorite Las Vegas pizzerias.
Albo Pizza
Albo’s menu is a combination of Italian favorites, classics, and traditional American fare. The kitchen is known for relying on local and fresh ingredients, with food prepared daily. Their hand-tossed pizza will stand up to any New York slice and has been a staple of my stays in vegas over the years.
Albo has an extensive offering of calzones, grilled sandwiches, Italian style subs, as well as burgers, and chicken wings.
Slice of Vegas
Slice of Vegas specializes in New York-style Pizza. Their pies are made to perfection with deliciously gooey cheese, deep-red tomato sauce, and very thin, flaky crust. Besides great pizza, Slice of Vegas serves some fantastic pasta dishes worthy of any Nonna in Italy.
For those with specific dietary requirements, the restaurant has been kind enough to include a plethora of gluten-free and vegan options.
The bar has a generous offering of craft beers, wines, and tasty cocktails.
Grimaldi’s
Grimaldi’s Pizzas are absolute perfection. Hailing from Brooklyn, Grimaldi’s recipe results in pies that are thin and crusty, with just the right amount of char.
Grimaldi’s doesn't serve any of the fancier pies that we have come to expect from trendy pizzerias. Instead, you get classic, Brooklyn-style pizzas, and excellent service.
They offer a wide variety of traditional toppings. My favorite pie by far is the Garden Pesto Pizza, which comes topped with tender artichoke hearts, red onions, and ricotta cheese drizzled with a delicious basil pesto sauce.
Secret Pizza
The place offers a simple menu and it is a by-the-slice joint.
But don’t be fooled; although the Secret Pizza place in Vegas’ famed Cosmopolitan is no longer as much of a secret as it used to be, it still manages to consistently cook up some of the best pizzas in Las Vegas.
The cheese is grated fresh every day, and the pizza dough is kneaded daily. Also made daily are the delicious spicy Italian sausages, and pork and veal meatballs.
