The Best Pizza in Las Vegas

This is preeminent chef Wolfgang Puck's first Italian restaurant and it does not disappoint. Located inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and captained by executive chef Shawn Giordano, Lupo offers diners a choice of wood-fired pizzas made right in front of them. They call this "exhibition pizza" and it creates an intimate setting where diners feel like they are a part of the process. Some great pizza options include the Grilled Zucchini with eggplant, peppers, pesto, and parmesan cheese, and the Yukon Gold Potato featuring mascarpone and fontina cheeses and drizzled with truffle oil.

The Sunset Station Hotel and Casino is also home to another of Las Vegas' best pizza restaurants — Pasta Cucina. While pasta might be prominent on the menu, its wood-fired pizzas help to land it on this list. Step into an authentic replica of an Italian garden and enjoy tempting offerings like the Balsamic Chicken Pizza. This pie features a sweet balsamic syrup and garlic oil drizzled over grilled chicken breast, red onions and creamy burrata. Other specialties include the Bolognese and Caprese pizzas and the Balsamic Fig Pizza.

Pizza lovers in the neighborhood of the LINQ Promenade will hit the jackpot at Flour and Barley, where they make brick oven-baked pies right in front of diners. Choose from a menu loaded with options like garlic cream sauce or a more traditional San Marzano tomato sauce. Specialty pies include the Verdue with zucchini, eggplant, and artichoke, or the Farm House featuring ham, bacon, sausage, and a fresh farm egg. All of them pair nicely with the craft beers on the menu.

Step right off the ARIA Casino gaming floor into the pizza bar at Five50, where James Beard Award-winning chef Shawn McClain crafts his signature pies. He bakes each of his creations in a wood-fired oven at 550 degrees to give it the perfect crust. Truffle salami, a bechamel sauce, potatoes, and shaved truffles top the aptly named Truffle pizza. Another fan favorite is the North Beach with clams, smoked mozzarella, and sweet onions, or diners can design their own from the list of fresh toppings. Pair them with the perfect craft beer before heading back out to the gaming tables.

World Champion pizza maker Tony Gemignani is in charge of the menu at Pizza Rock, a pizza parlor with a nightclub vibe.

Henderson is home to this second Pizza Rock location, which features 23 rotating draft beers as well as an extensive wine list. Happy Hour specials and sports watch parties are popular events here. Chef Tony Gemignani creates some of the best pizza options in the area, including the Margherita baked in a 900-degree oven and topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, Mozzarella Fior di Latte, and sea salt. The New Haven Lou bakes at 700 degrees for less char, and features sliced meatballs and spinach.

The Strip is home to some of the best pizza in Las Vegas, as evidenced by Slice of Vegas, located in the Shops of Mandalay Bay.

Chefs make their own fresh pizza sauce and use it on pies like the Miles' 10 Meat featuring pork, beef, veal, pepperoni, and more. The Buffalo Chicken pizza combines everything people love about wings, including carrots, ranch, and mild wing sauce.

Part of the aptly named Eataly Park in the MGM, La Pizza & La Pasta serves just what the name says. Here you can watch pizza dough being "thrown" in the age-old Italian tradition before it's made into signature pies with fresh seasonal ingredients. Its 90-second pizza oven produces favorites that are lightly charred and have that wonderful smokey taste that can only come from cooking pizza this fast. While the menu may change depending on the available produce, there will always be favorites to please any palate like the Tartufo with Buffalo mozzarella, black truffle and a truffle mushroom puree. The Capricciosa offers San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto cotto, artichokes, olives, mushrooms and fresh basil.

Housed inside the Venetian Hotel, Trattoria Reggiano is not only convenient, but it also offers some of the best pizza in Las Vegas.

Located at the Westgate Resort and Casino, Fresco Italiano is noted for its simple yet authentic recipes.

Of course, the imported Italian flour and secret family recipes don't hurt either.
