In recent years, there has been an awesome pizza trend in Las Vegas. Gone are the days when the average toss-it-in-the-oven pie was the only option; today, there are fun local pizza eateries, high-end gourmet pies and even hidden alcoves housing some of the very best bites in the city. Locals love Metro Pizza, which has a handful of locations throughout the city, and Rocco’s Deli, which is all about keeping pizza simple and fresh. Despite that it’s meant to be a secret, one of the best known pizza places is tucked down a hallway in The Cosmopolitan. Five50, located in ARIA, has a menu of interesting pizzas, and the chefs serve from the front counter late into the night.

Fancy pie
Though there are lots of places to grab a slice of pizza in Las Vegas, I’ll go out of my way to eat at Five50 in ARIA. The restaurant’s menu has an awesome selection of specialty pies (the blanca pizza with mozzarella, ricotta, white cheddar, olive oil, garlic and basil is a popular favorite), several delicious small plates to share and one of the best craft beer selections in the city make it the ideal place for a date night, get together with friends or family meal. The restaurant has a chill, laid-back vibe, but visitors gambling at the sports bar around the corner and passersby in general can order a slice to go into the wee hours of the morning.
Pizza to Top All Pizzas at Five50
There is pizza, and then there is Five50. The pizza joint at ARIA serves all the classic pies, but this is more than just a take-out joint. The award-winning chef on board has taken great care to create a menu of unique pizzas with top-of-the-line, fresh and seasonal ingredients, and several, though you’re more than welcome to create your own as well. In addition to pizza, several small plates, salads and innovative desserts fill out the menu. ARIA has one of the best drink programs in Las Vegas, and the property’s beverage director has specifically selected a variety of craft beers that are on tap at Five50. The restaurant has a cool, funky vibe, and it’s perfect for both families and those out for date night. If you don’t have time to stop by for a full meal and need something on the go -- or if you’re up late -- stop by the counter out front, which serves single slices long after the restaurant closes. Another bonus: Five50’s strategic location next to the sports book makes it the perfect place to grab a bite before the big game.
