In the heart of Las Vegas’s Chinatown District, ØØ Pie & Pub stands as a culinary gem, a testament to craftsmanship, and a slice of Tokyo magic. Led by the talented Michael Vakneen, a World Pizza Champion, this pizzeria transcends expectations.
As you cross the threshold, the red-lit, brick-walled space envelops you. It’s simultaneously brand new and comfortably lived-in—a place where pizza dreams come true. The menu beckons, offering a symphony of wood-fired pies, Japanese beers, and whisky cocktails. The Bresaola, a white pie adorned with fior di latte, mozzarella, salsa verde, arugula, lemon vinaigrette, and Parmesan, is a rock-solid convincer. Each slice boasts a pillowy, lightly charred crust kissed by smokiness. Pair it with an Italian-Japanese Hitachino Ale for a flavor explosion.
Decisions, Decisions
Choosing your next pie becomes a delightful dilemma. Will it be the enticing Pepperoni with vodka sauce, chili crunch, and basil? Or perhaps the hearty Eggplant Caponata featuring red sauce, Dorati tomatoes, Calabrian chili oil, and herb labneh? For the bold, there’s the fiery Diavola, boasting spicy sausage and pickled vegetables. As plates pass by, you realize there are no wrong answers here.
Happy Hour Delights
Don’t miss the happy hour specials—Wednesday through Sunday from 4-5 PM and 9-11 PM. Sip on $7 beer, wine, and cocktails while indulging in truffle chips, goat cheese balls, and a plate of “Pickled Things” that includes piparra peppers, lemon pickles, and 20-month-old Parmesan chunks.

ØØ Pie & Pub bridges continents, bringing Tokyo’s pizza perfection to the heart of Las Vegas. With every bite, you’re transported—whether you’re a local or a curious traveler. It’s a rendezvous of flavors, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a must-visit for pizza aficionados.
