Best Pizza in Las Vegas: Top Spots Ranked [2026 List]

Where to get the best Pizza in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas pizza is defined by its lack of a single identity, offering a "best of" compilation of world-famous styles ranging from coal-fired crispness to cheesy deep-dish indulgence. In our testing, we found these five locations consistently delivered the highest quality ingredients and the best crust textures.

1. Pizza Rock (Downtown)
Located near the Fremont Street Experience, Pizza Rock is arguably the heavy hitter in town. Chef Tony Gemignani is a 13-time World Pizza Champion, and it shows. The "Pizza Romana" is a standout, offering a light, airy crust that we found incredibly flavorful.

2. Secret Pizza (The Cosmopolitan)
Hidden down an unmarked hallway, this spot feels like an exclusive club. We loved the New York-style slices here. They are foldable, greasy in the right way, and perfect for a late-night bite.

3. Evil Pie (Fremont East)
If you want atmosphere with your slice, this Evel Knievel-themed joint is it. Their "Snake River Special" provided a spicy kick that we highly recommend for adventurous eaters.

4. Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana
For purists, Settebello is the gold standard. They adhere to strict Vera Pizza Napoletana guidelines. In our experience, their Margherita is the closest you will get to Naples without a passport—soft, blistered, and fresh.

5. Good Pie (Arts District)
Specializing in Grandma and Brooklyn-style pies, Good Pie delivers a crunch that is hard to beat. We were particularly impressed by the Triple Pep, which was loaded with curling pepperoni cups.

How to Make the Best Pizza at Home

I used to think my backyard pizzas were decent, until I realized I was essentially baking them on a warm stone instead of fire-roasting them on a 1,000°F surface. The difference between a soggy center and that perfect, audible "crunch" isn't just the dough recipe—it's the heat source. Most home ovens max out at 500°F, which simply isn't enough to get that pizzeria-quality blister.

You can achieve the same flavor profiles as Pizza Rock or Settebello right in your backyard. Just as a perfect steak requires a high-heat sear to lock in juices, a perfect pizza requires intense, immediate heat to puff the crust and caramelize the toppings without drying them out.

The "Searing" Technique

This is where the Arteflame Grill excels. It provides the thermal power necessary for professional results. Using an Arteflame grill comes with distinct benefits:

1. 1,000°F Sear Capability: The center cooktop reaches temperatures over 1,000°F. When you use the Pizza Oven attachment or cook directly on the flat top, you get immediate crust activation that standard grills cannot match.
2. Grill All Food at Once: Unlike a dedicated pizza oven that only fits one pie, the Arteflame allows you to grill sides, veggies, and meats on the outer ring while your pizza perfects in the center.
3. Smokeless Flavor: The fire design ensures you get that wood-fired flavor profile without the choking smoke of a traditional campfire setup.

Pro Tip: If you are hosting a big crowd and don't want to make dough from scratch, head to the Costco nearby. Buying fresh, unbaked pizzas from Costco is a fantastic base to start with. We found that by adding your own gourmet toppings—like prosciutto, fresh basil, or truffle oil—and firing them on the Arteflame Pizza Oven, you can elevate a wholesale pizza into a gourmet meal.

Why We Call It The "Social Grill"

An Arteflame grill isn't just for cooking; it changes how you host. In our experience with traditional grills, the chef is often stuck staring at a wall or the back of the grill while guests mingle elsewhere. The Arteflame's round, open-fire design invites friends to stand around the fire, drink in hand, watching the pizza bubble and the wood crackle. It turns meal prep into a shared, interactive event rather than a solitary chore.
