Downtown

Pizza Rock

Also considered one of the best spots downtown for dining, Pizza Rock is basically the creme de la creme of pizzerias. Why, you ask? Simple. Because the world says so.

Basically, this dude has won 11 World Pizza Championships, so if you don’t eat here, you will never know what the “world’s best pizza” tastes like.

Naked City Pizza Shop
Naked City Pizza is a locals spot. Its lacking charm. Its lacking the best service in the world. Hell, its a tiny, dimly lit sports bar that gets loud when there are games on. But the pizza? Ohhh, the pizza. There’s a reason why this little shop has been featured on The Food Network. It is that good. Coming in three sizes (wee, ¼ sheet and ½ sheet), even a small is too much for one person. Fortunately, you can also get it by the slice. But, its such pizza perfection, why only have one slice? There is a wide variety of specialty pies like a bacon and eggs and more, so you can mix it up with other diners you go with. And, while you’re there, try the Suicide Fries. Topped with peppers of all kinds and covered in the signature “suicide sauce,” this side or appetizer or main course (we’re still not sure) is spicy perfection. 3240 Arville St, (702) 243-6277 nakedcitylv.com
