Some pizza fans want a thick, doughy slice they can fold in half. Others want a crust so thin and crisp that it snaps when you pick it up.
This list is for that second group, and it covers seven Nevada pizzerias that take thin crust seriously, from busy Las Vegas strips to quiet towns along US Highway 50 and Highway 395. A few of these spots lean on Chicago tavern-style traditions, with square-cut pies made for sharing.
Others are small-town parlors where a crispy slice has been part of the neighborhood routine for years. You will find spots near Hoover Dam, in the historic heart of Henderson, and all the way out in Elko.
Each one earns its place for a different reason, whether it is a family arcade, a karaoke patio, or a vintage downtown setting. Save this list for your next road trip or Friday pizza night.
1. Amore Taste of Chicago, Las Vegas, NV
Square slices are the giveaway here. Amore Taste of Chicago serves its thin crust tavern-cut, the classic Chicago move of slicing a round pie into small squares that are easy to grab and share.
The crust lands firmly in cracker-thin territory, crisp and flaky with a buttery finish. Toppings do not hold back either, with plenty of cheese, thick-sliced pepperoni, and a bright tomato sauce.
The room leans hard into sports, with big screen TVs and huge wall coverings of famous players. It is an easy pick for game day, though families fit in just fine, thanks to high chairs and a kids’ menu.
Pizza is only part of the Chicago story. The menu also covers Italian beef sandwiches, Vienna hot dogs with fries served Chicago style, chicken parmigiana, babyback ribs, and even a full vegan menu.
You will find it at 3945 S Durango Dr on the west side of Las Vegas. It is closed Tuesdays, opens at 10 AM on Sundays, and Friday and Saturday evenings tend to be the busiest stretch.
2. Chicago Mike’s Pizza, Gardnerville, NV
Sausage and pineapple on the same pie might start a debate, but at Chicago Mike’s it has a name: the Savanah. That kind of playful topping combo sits on a crunchy thin crust in a small Carson Valley town.
This family-owned shop is known for deep dish and cheesecake, yet the thin crust holds its own. Expect a sweet sauce, savory cheese, and a base with real crunch.
Beyond pizza, the menu brings Chicago flavors to Highway 395, including Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago hot dogs, garlic bread, and a generous Caesar salad. Save room for the featured cheesecake slice.
The space is casual and quiet, and dogs are welcome outside. Reservations are not taken, so plan to walk in.
Hours are on the short side. It is closed Monday and Tuesday and wraps up by 7 to 8 PM the rest of the week, with Friday afternoon and evening as the busiest time.
3. Sunset Pizzeria & Bar, Henderson, NV
Need a pizza place that is open every single day until 10 PM? Sunset Pizzeria & Bar on South Boulder Highway keeps the same 11 AM to 10 PM schedule seven days a week.
The crust here runs very thin and crisp, which puts the focus on simple toppings like pepperoni, mushroom, and cheese. If you like a lighter hand with sauce and cheese, this style fits right in.
The menu is long. Burgers, gyros, Philly cheesesteaks, meatball parmesan grinders, calzones, and the Sunset Special Stromboli all share space with the pies.
Pasta portions are big enough for two, which makes it a smart pick for budget-friendly date nights. Cannoli round things out.
The setup is basic but clean, with outdoor seating and room for kids’ birthday gatherings. Reservations are not accepted, and Friday afternoon through evening gets busy.
4. Water Street Pizzeria, Henderson, NV
Downtown Henderson’s Water Street district has seen plenty of fresh energy, and this pizzeria fits right into the revived scene. It sits at 139 S Water St, an easy stop before or after a stroll through the area.
The thin crust bakes up golden and crisp. The sauce is made with high-quality tomatoes, and the mozzarella is applied in just the right amount.
Several pizza styles share the menu, including deep dish. Standouts include the Tuscany Pizza, the All Meat Pizza, and a Jumbo Slice for solo lunches.
The patio is a big part of the appeal, with weekly karaoke and live music adding a community feel. Wings, mozzarella sticks, and Italian beef sandwiches keep groups happy.
It is closed Mondays and stays open until 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Free parking is usually easy to find.
5. Tony’s Pizza, Boulder City, NV
Here is a pro tip worth knowing: ask, and Tony’s will make your crust extra thin. That simple request turns a classic slice into something even crispier.
Boulder City is famous for its Hoover Dam roots and preserved 1930s downtown, and Tony’s adds to that old-school charm with a retro look. It is a small place on Nevada Way with outdoor tables for warm evenings.
Slices are a big draw. The thin crust is crisp but still soft enough to fold, topped with plenty of cheese.
Spaghetti with sausage or meatballs, subs, and garlic knots with a dipping sauce fill out the menu. I would save this stop for the drive back from Lake Mead or the dam.
Hours run 11 AM to 8:30 PM on weekdays, and noon to 8:30 PM on weekends. Reservations are not taken.
6. Pizza Barn Elko, Elko, NV
Arcade games and a salad bar make Pizza Barn a different kind of pizza night in northeastern Nevada. Kids can play while the pies bake, and grown-ups can build a salad first.
Thin crust is the house style, and you can order your pie well done for an even crispier base. Unique specialty pizzas give regulars plenty to rotate through.
Elko is a high desert ranching and mining town along the Humboldt River, a long way from big city pizza chains. That makes a reliable family spot on Idaho Street extra valuable.
Ordering happens at the counter, and garlic cheese bread is a popular side. Wings are on the menu too.
Pizza Barn handles kids’ birthday parties and accepts reservations. There is no delivery, so plan on dining in or picking up.
7. Mangia Tutto Pizzeria e Ristorante, Mound House, NV
A full Italian ristorante in a rural community of about 1,500 people might come as a surprise. Mangia Tutto sits right on US Highway 50 in Mound House, between Carson City and Dayton.
Deep dish gets a lot of attention, but the thin crust deserves a look. It is slightly crispy and flaky without falling apart, with a hint of sweetness and a touch of spice.
The meat lovers thin crust is a solid starting point. The rest of the menu goes well beyond pizza, with Chicken San Remo, chicken piccata, spinach calzone, and homemade pasta.
Tiramisu is the dessert to remember. Live music shows up on the calendar, and outdoor seating is available.
Prices run a little higher than the other stops, around $20 to $30 per person. Reservations are accepted, and Sunday service starts at 4 PM.
