If visiting from a Pizza haven such as Chicago, Phoenix or New York, you will probably find Las Vegas Pizza disappointing. There are some bright spots but not near the Strip.
For New York coal-fired oven purists, Grimaldi’s (in Henderson) oven gets up to 1800 degrees. It is an offshoot of Patsy Grimaldi’s in New York and the only coal pizzeria in Vegas.
However, also in Henderson, Settebello offers true Napoletana pizza with a smoky charred crust similar to Grimaldi’s except that it follows the Verace Pizza Napoletana rules about only using a wood fired oven. Of the two, Vegas Made Easy.com gives the nod to Settebello for slightly tastier crust as well as toppings although neither are the loaded pizzas that you find with Chicago deep dish style.
For Chicago deep dish, the closest to a recommendation (and they are not that close) are Anthony and Mario’s Broadway Pizza (Off-strip) and JB’s (Off-strip). Anthony and Mario’s is a pretty good all-around restaurant but not a pure deep dish shop. For JB’s, order a side of marinara to spoon on the pizza to make up for a lack of sauce as they only use tomato chunks.
If stuck on the Strip without a car and want really good pizza, you are stuck. Just keep in mind that Pizza is not a strong point of Vegas cuisine unlike Buffets and French food.
