Real pizza, real owners, zero chains. A running list of locally owned pizza spots across the West — starting in Las Vegas. New states and new spots get added as we eat our way through them.
Nevada
Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana — Las Vegas
Instagram: @settebellolasvegas · Website: settebello.net
9350 W Sahara Ave #170, Las Vegas, NV 89117 · (702) 901-4877
Hours: Mon & Fri–Sat 11 AM–10 PM, Tue–Thu & Sun 11 AM–9 PM
Founded in 2005 by former USC quarterback Brad Otton after his family traveled to Naples to learn the craft — Otton trained as a pizzaiolo under Enzo Coccia of La Notizia, a founding member of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. Settebello became one of the first VPN-certified pizzerias in America, cooking true Neapolitan pies in 900° wood-fired ovens in about 90 seconds. The name comes from the most coveted card in the Italian game Scopa. The Margherita DOC is the classic move; the Gringo Peligroso and the sweet-heat Pere e Jalapeño are the adventurous ones. Also in Henderson at 140 S Green Valley Pkwy.

Detroit-style pies with a wild ride behind them — from a home oven to a downtown bar to, in January 2026, their first standalone brick-and-mortar on the ground floor of Soho Lofts. The Pig Show is the pie the regulars order when they’re showing off.
Yukon Pizza — Las Vegas

Hours: Daily 11 AM–10 PM (kitchen closes 9:30 PM)
Wood-fired sourdough pies from a 129-year-old heirloom starter dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush — puffy, charred, 90-second crusts in the heart of historic Huntridge. The Grandpa White and the “You Had Me At Garlic” are the orders to know, and everything comes in vegan form. Fourteen chairs and mostly takeout — or grab a bar seat by the oven and watch your pie get kissed by the fire.

508 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV · (702) 840-6460
Hours: Sun–Thu 11 AM–2 AM, Fri–Sat 11 AM–4 AM
An Evel Knievel motorcycle-dive pizzeria on Fremont Street — “Live hard, ride fast, eat pizza.” Massive New York-style slices (the Goblin Sausage is the order to know), vegan and gluten-free pies, a daily happy hour 2–6 PM, and the kitchen stays open till 2 AM — 4 AM on weekends.

2129 S Industrial Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89102 · (725) 277-9013
Hours: Mon closed; Tue–Wed 4–9 PM; Thu–Sun 12–9 PM
The self-proclaimed “home of the black pizza” — horror-themed pies like the Murder Pie and Gruesome Garlic Knots, plus pinball machines, arcade games, and a fortune-teller machine. It sits steps from the Saw and Blair Witch escape rooms, so the whole block is a scare.
California
Slasher Pizza — Riverside
Instagram: @slasherpizzaco · Website: slasherpizza.com
1201 University Ave #116, Riverside, CA 92507 · (951) 823-0630
Hours: Sun–Thu 11 AM–10 PM, Fri–Sat 11 AM–12 AM
A family horror pizzeria — horror-movie memorabilia on the walls, creature features on the TVs, and pies with names to match. They host horror-celeb meet-and-greets and even ran a Five Nights at Freddy’s menu. Vegan, gluten-free, and halal options across the full menu.
Pizzeria Sei — Los Angeles
Instagram: @pizzeria.sei · Website: pizzeriasei.com

Hours: Wed–Sun 4–10 PM
Tokyo-style Neapolitan from husband-and-wife team William Joo and Jennifer So — chewy, mochi-like crusts with pinched rims, ranked #2 pizza in the USA and Michelin Guide-listed. The Margherita Special is the signature; a monthly pizza omakase sells out fast.
Arizona
Organ Stop Pizza — Mesa
Instagram: @organstoppizza · Website: organstoppizza.com

Dinner with the 1927 Mighty Wurlitzer — a 6,000-pipe theater organ that rises over the dining room while organists play everything from show tunes to pop, backed by light shows and dancing puppets. An Arizona icon since 1972; the pizza is classic family-style, but the show is the reason to go.
