We Ranked 11 Of The Best Pizza Places In Nevada, From Thin Crust To Deep Dish
A single menu on this list covers Grandma, Brooklyn, and Detroit styles at once. Sounds like a dare, right?
Another bakes in a wood-fired oven and adds a patio for sunny evenings. A third puts an arcade right beside the dough.
Kids tend to vote for that one fast. Nevada keeps surprising me with its pizza range.
Crispy thin crust, thick pan pies, and Chicago-style deep dish all live inside one state. Who knew the desert could be this serious about crust?
Some menus lean proudly old-school, while others get playful with toppings. A few spots bake in ways that make me curious about the crust alone.
So which one deserves your first bite on the next road trip? Grab a napkin and let’s sort out the best slices in Nevada.
1. Amore Taste of Chicago
Sports fans, this one has your name on the wall. Large wall coverings of sports players set the mood while Chicago-style pizza lands on the table.
Deep dish is the headline. The crust is buttery and flaky, with crisp edges and layers of cheese, sauce, and toppings that usually call for a fork.
Prefer something lighter? Thin crust pizza is on the menu too, so the group doesn’t have to agree on one style.
Specialty pies include Bacon Cheeseburger, BBQ Chicken, White Pizza, and Taco Pizza.
Pizza isn’t the only act. Babyback ribs, Italian food, Chicken Wings, a Chicago-style Vienna Hot Dog, and a Meatball Sandwich fill out the menu.
The first Durango Drive spot opened in 2008, and it’s a good place to watch a game. Families can use the kids’ menu and high chairs.
Plan your day carefully, because it’s closed on Tuesdays. Reservations are accepted, and the parking lot usually has plenty of space.
Address: 3945 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89147
2. SouthCreek Pizza Co.
A wood-fired brick oven does the heavy lifting at this Reno spot. Pizzas get flash-fired, which gives the thin crust a crisp outside and a soft bite.
Toppings go creative here. The menu includes a Truffle Shuffle, a Margherita, and a dessert pizza for the sweet-tooth crowd.
Not feeling pizza all night? Garlic Shrimp, ribs, salads, and roasted cauliflower share the table.
There’s a full vegetarian menu too.
The room is casual and lively, with a small patio for sunny evenings. Kids get a menu and high chairs, and reservations are accepted.
Check the hours before you go. The place is closed Mondays, opens at noon Tuesday through Friday, and keeps shorter hours on Sundays.
Evenings tend to fill up, especially Thursday through Saturday. Parking is free in the lot and on the street.
Address: 45 Foothill Rd, Reno, NV 89511
3. dough.cheese.sauce
Even the name is a recipe. Dough, cheese, sauce, and a New York attitude sum up this Reno takeaway shop.
Pizza by the slice is the main event. The style is traditional New York, and it’s praised for coming out nice and crispy.
Vegan eaters get real options here, with a full vegan menu. A full vegetarian menu is available too.
Hours run late for a slice stop. Tuesday through Saturday the doors stay open until 11 PM, which is handy after a night out.
Plenty of ways exist to get your pizza. You can take it to go, dine in, sit outside, or have it delivered.
Dogs are allowed on the outdoor side, and the shop has a changing table for families. No reservations are taken, so just walk up and order.
Address: 600 S Center St #200, Reno, NV 89501
4. Fox & Fire Pizzeria
Smoked wings and brick oven pizza share one menu, and that’s a smart pairing. Carson City gets New York-style pies with a crisp, thin crust.
The shop comes from the team behind The Fox Restaurant & Brewery, a Carson City staple since 2008. Fox craft beer pours on draft, brewed right in town.
One standout topping idea is smoked chicken with a pesto-based sauce. Fresh mozzarella, garlic, and jalapenos also get praised.
Pies come in a full 18 inches, and daily slices help when you only need a quick bite. Who says a solo lunch cannot feel like a feast?
The menu keeps things simple, with Pepperoni, Top Your Own, Smoked Wings, and Garlic Knots. Build-your-own fans can pile on whatever they like.
The room is casual and quiet, and it works for watching sports. Counter service and table service are both offered, so you can choose your pace.
Families can bring kids, since high chairs are available. Delivery and takeout are options when you’d rather eat at home.
Friday and Saturday evenings draw the biggest crowds. Parking is usually plentiful on site.
Address: 2010 E William St, Carson City, NV 89701
5. Gearhead Pizza
Hot rods, classic trucks, and motorcycles inspire this pizza shop. The owners are lifelong gearheads who bake with the care of a well-built machine.
Detroit-style deep dish is the specialty. Every pizza is made fresh to order with quality ingredients.
The style has its own mechanical roots. Detroit pizza makers first baked it in 1946 using steel pans borrowed from local auto parts shops.
Could a pizza shop find a better theme? The style usually means a rectangular pie with cheese crisped dark against the pan and stripes of sauce on top.
Patrons point to the cheese and the crust as high points. It’s a rich, thick pie, so it fits the comfort food label.
This is a takeout operation. Curbside pickup and takeout are available, but there’s no dine-in and no delivery.
Timing matters here. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 3 PM to 8 PM and closed Sunday and Monday.
Locally owned places like this one give Nevada pizza its personality. Kids are welcome, and the free lot usually has room.
Address: 938 Corbett St, Carson City, NV 89706
6. Chicago Mike’s Pizza
Red and white checkered tablecloths set the scene in Gardnerville. Chicago memorabilia covers the walls, so the room feels like a neighborhood joint back in the Windy City.
This pizza dream took decades to come true. Mike first moved his family here in 1973 hoping to open a Chicago-style shop, but he could not find the right spot.
He returned years later to retire, and his daughter Gina eventually moved to town too. In 2015, the pair finally opened the doors together.
Deep dish or thin crust? Both get top marks here.
The deep dish comes out buttery and crisp, while the thin crust arrives square-cut in true Chicago tavern style. The Beary Special is a popular thin crust pick.
Newer owners kept the menu and the Chicago-imported ingredients the same. Fans say the sausage carries the fennel note you expect on a Chicago pie.
Why stop at pizza? Chicago dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, hot wings, and Italian salads round out the menu.
Mac and cheese bites and fried mushrooms make easy sides for the table. A family-size pie usually leaves leftovers for the next day.
The place works well for families and team celebrations after a big game. Plan around the schedule, since it closes Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday through Sunday, the doors open at 11 AM. Evening hours end early, so aim for lunch or an early dinner.
Address: 1544 US-395 N #1, Gardnerville, NV 89410
7. Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana
A wood-burning oven and Naples-trained pizza making set the tone here. The pizzeria was founded by Brad Otton to cultivate Neapolitan pizza.
Settebello opened in 2005 as one of the first pizzerias in the country to make true Neapolitan pies. Otton, a former USC quarterback, learned the craft in Naples from chef Enzo Coccia.
It’s AVPN approved, which means it follows true Neapolitan standards. Pies are handmade, with a thin, chewy crust and just enough char.
How fast does a pie bake? About one minute, thanks to that blazing oven and soft dough made with flour imported from Naples.
The Margherita is a longtime favorite. For something different, try the Pizza Pere Jalapeno, made with pear-jalapeno marmalade.
The menu goes beyond pizza. Look for Pizza Carbonara, a Prosciutto Platter, Panzanella, Cannoli, and Tiramisu.
A Gluten Free Diavola is on the menu, and the staff takes food allergies seriously. Happy hour deals also draw a crowd.
Friday and Saturday evenings are busy, so reservations help. Kids can use high chairs, and the lot has free parking.
Address: 140 S Green Valley Pkwy #102, Henderson, NV 89012
8. Good Pie
Few pizza menus read like a map of the pizza world, and this one does. Slices come in Grandma, Brooklyn, and Detroit styles, so you can taste three traditions in one sitting.
The crust is the star here. It’s described as crispy and thick, and the Brooklyn-style pie is known for a balanced mix of sauce, cheese, and crunch.
Look closer at the menu and you’ll spot Grandma Pepperoni, Sicilian Pepperoni, and a Detroit White Pie. Fried Pizza with Burrata sounds like a fun experiment too.
Not everyone at the table has to eat the same way. A full vegan menu and a full vegetarian menu are both offered, with items like Vegan Garlic Knots and Fried Ravioli.
Service is counter style, so you order, grab your food, and find a seat. Dogs are allowed outside, which is handy for patio plans.
Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest times, so show up early if you hate waiting. The spot sits on South Main Street in Las Vegas, and street parking can take some patience.
Address: 1212 S Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89104
9. Vinny’s Pizzeria
Big pasta portions and a family-owned feel make this Boulder City pizzeria a neighborhood favorite. The menu covers various pizza styles, from thin and crispy to deep dish.
Thin crust gets plenty of praise. It comes with a sweet sauce and a crisp bite.
Beyond pies, The Vinny Calzone and Stromboli have fans. Garlic Bread makes a good starter, and a full vegetarian menu is offered.

The crust is a cracker style, crispy and thin. Toppings pile on, and the sauce gets plenty of compliments.
A salad bar adds some variety for the table. Garlic Cheese Bread is a popular side.
Birthday parties fit right in, since the place is good for kids’ birthdays. A kids’ menu and high chairs help younger guests.

Brooklyn made its way to Sparks. This pizzeria is part of a chain that started in Brooklyn and is known for coal-fired brick-oven pies and calzones.
Coal-fired ovens give the thin, New York-style crust its character. Toppings stay fresh and light, and the variety is big.
The menu has plenty to explore. Try the Brooklyn Bridge Pizza, The Ivy Pizza, a Traditional Pizza, or a Margherita.
