Metro Pizza Catering [19,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza

Zamboni Pizza – Sausage, Old School Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, Mozzarella Cheese

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Old School Pepperoni

The Bleecker Street – Italian Sausage, Garlic, Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Basil, Olive Oil

Garlic Knots

Chicken Wings

Serving Las Vegas for over forty years one might well assume Metro Pizza has the take-out game down to a science, and even now with more competition than ever John Arena and Sam Facchini’s Pizzeria remains irreproachable in terms of customer service and quality.

Featuring locations North, South, East and West, with another soon to come at the Convention Center, it was minutes prior to 12:00am that delivery arrived porting Food, utensils, plates and condiments, each carefully packaged.

Never ignoring “Old New York,” or in this class “The Bleecker Street” with a classic trio plus Sausage on voluptuous Crust, “The Zamboni” offers two Meats, Roasted Peppers and a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey while Metro’s cold-fermented 86th Street remains defiantly light despite its thickness even after traveling whether topped with Cup n’ Char Pepp or Mushrooms.

No less impressive with Wings and Knots there is a reason John and Sam have been successfully serving Las Vegas for so long, a good part of it skill and doing things the right way but also by focusing on the customer to deliver on their promises for budgets big or small.

Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen [2,] Las Vegas NV

Nittaya’s Secret Kitchen

Thai Tea / Thai Coffee

World Famous Spinach Salad – Tempura with lime dressing and chicken

Drunken Noodles with Chicken

Beef Jerky

E-Saan Sausage

Pad Z-EW with Chicken

Pork Panang Curry

Duck Breast Curry – Coconut Curry Sauce, Pineapple, Cherry Tomatoes, Thai Basil, Peppers

Coconut Sticky Rice

Sharing a city with one of the most highly acclaimed Thai restaurants in the United States cannot be easy, but compared with Lotus of Siam’s largely traditional menu Chef Nittaya Parawong and her Secret Kitchen have been successfully doing things different since 2010.

Small, intimate and innovative with a style described as “Thai Tapas,” think small plate Appetizers adjacent traditional Curries and Noodles, it was as take-out that eight items were selected on Wednesday alongside iced Thai Tea and Coffee.

Opting for spice level 3 of 5 across the order, relatively bland “E-Saan” Sausage and tough “Beef Jerky” exempt, Nittaya’s “World Famous” Spinach Salad remains impeccably light yet vegetal without a hint of oil even before adding Citrus Dressing.

Raised in Restaurants overseas, both the Drunken Noodles and “Pad Z-EW” springy with bold yet balanced spice, Nittaya’s Curries run the gamut with a choice of Proteins including Duck with Pineapple and Peppers or particularly nutty Panang.

Opting for shareable Desserts, though tempted by Pineapple Bread Pudding, sticky Rice hits all the right notes thanks to its smooth texture and Pandan glaze plus creamy and sweet Sauce.

ShangHai Taste Catering [18,] Las Vegas NV

Shanghai Taste

House Fried Rice with Beef

Shanghai Fried Rice Cake with Chicken

House Fried Fat Noodles with Shrimp

Sheng Jian

Scallion Pancakes

Kao Fu

Tucked inside Suite 104 of 4266 Spring Mountain Road, it was via contacting ShangHai Taste directly that catering was coordinated on Wednesday, GM Joe Muscaglione arriving at 11:45am-sharp with six items portioned large enough for sharing.

Still the top destination in Shanghai Plaza at the corner of Arville Street, family recipes handed down to Chef Jimmy Li comprising a concise menu of scratch-made plates, it was with all items carefully-packed and temperature appropriate that most got started with Fried Rice, a bit of tooth welcomed amidst Pork, Egg and Soy.

Now the 17th time delivered, though Jimmy’s years at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu will find many locals familiar with his authentic brand of cooking, fans of Soup Dumplings, or XLB, will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard, and whether one prefers Pork, Beef, Shrimp, Crab or even Gluten Free the textures and flavors are great, as too are the fried version entitled Sheng Jian with Sesame Seeds.

Again impressing with House Fried Fat Noodles, each strand slick and slightly chewy tossed with Steak, Stir-fried Rice Cakes traditionally known as Chao Nian Gao remain a personal favorite thanks to sticky-soft pillows with Salt and a bit of sweetness.

Only offering one Dessert, not “American” by any stretch, remaining stomach capacity saw Chocolate Dumplings skipped this time while guests with a sense of adventure enjoyed steamed Wheat Gluten Kao Fu with Mushrooms, fermented Soy and Ginger.

Big B’s Texas BBQ (Sahara,) Las Vegas NV

Big B’s

Brisket Burger, Creamed Corn, Cornbread

Chicken, Fatty Brisket, Creamed Corn, French Fries

Big B’s Texas BBQ re-opened its second location just prior to August 2025, and on Sunday evening the Restaurant at 8125 West Sahara Avenue showed again why any discussion of local smoked Meat has began and ended with Brian and Natalia’s brand since 2016.

Named after its Pit Master, and changing the long-held belief that Las Vegas is not a Barbeque town ever since the original opened in Henderson, Big B’s Texas BBQ features the work of Brian Buechner and Natalia Badzjo, the husband and wife team taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of the operation from build-out to driving in fresh piles of wood as needed from the Lone Star State.

Always working with a great crew while doing brisk business for dine-in and take-out, guests entering location number two will immediately notice Brian’s handy work in wood tables and chairs flanking a full bar, the relic of many prior occupants benefited by a liquor license in addition to Beer, Soft Drinks and freshly brewed Tea.

Texas through-and-through in terms of décor, the bustling main room offering a full view of the kitchen while Brian and Natalia installed a full-bar in the Restaurant’s right half, big screen televisions are visible from every seat so guests can take in action from their favorite team on benches or from rounded booths.

Ready to greet fans new and old it was on individual trays that Meats, Breads and Sides arrived quickly, the housemade Cornbread particularly soft when warm and delicious whether plain or slathered with Butter while Mac & Cheese continues to impress guests of all ages.

Next letting Meats take center stage, but not before Hand-cut Fries or Onion Rings, Big B’s Brisket follows Texas protocol with little more than smoke and a bit of seasoning while Ribs also shine as a slight pull of the teeth easily liberates supple Muscle from Bone.

Not forgetting the Brisket Burger with two Patties, moist Brisket, Cheese and Onion Rings on a fluffy yet supportive Bun, one would be hard-pressed to name a better bargain at $16.99 even before adding a pair of complimentary Sides.

Coffee Religion (West Charleston,) Las Vegas NV

Coffee Religion

Coldbrew Coffee

Croissant

Chocolate Croissant

Self described as Las Vegas’ favorite Coffee Shop it was prior to the pandemic that Coffee Religion began pouring, the addition of High Tea and an Instagram-friendly interior building a loyal clientele that has seen the concept expand to three locations.

Best known for the aforementioned Tea and Lattes, Lavender widely discussed by the folks equally fond of Avocado Toast, Coffee Religion also offers everything from Breakfast Burritos to Scones and a handful of Viennoiseries.

Priced equal to spots like Rosallie and less than Coffee Class, a pair of poorly-laminated Croissants at 12:45pm on Saturday a far cry from either, Coldbrew from Coffee Religion is smooth with notes of Cocoa and Berries with limited acidity and amongst the best in town.

Cherry Danish

Cream Cheese Danish

Strawberry Nutella Danish

Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Scone

Blueberry Lemon Scone

Coldbrew Coffee

Located in the shadow of Southern Hills Hospital Leafs and Grounds opened at the end of 2022, their popularity slowly growing by word of mouth attesting to Sin City’s best Scones and a locally grown feel that taps into Pacific Northwest Coffee culture.

A novelty in Las Vegas, the shop slowing things down compared to Dutch Bros or Starbucks and doing things their own way without a slew of influencers, guests arriving Tuesday through Sunday from 6am until 3pm will find a family owned spot with plenty of room to linger, work, and read.

Using Lavazza for a variety of Lattes and specialty Coffees, a proper grinder and Espresso machine attesting to doing things the right way, Pastries are made on-site by the Mother and children with Empanadas fully loaded beneath a golden shell while Danishes are so flaky that a fork and plate are mandatory.

Onward to Scones, flavors announced daily on Instagram, suffice it to say these aren’t the typical British rounds in need of Clotted Cream or Jam, but rather something like a layered Southern Biscuit loaded with Butter and complex flavors ranging from Banana to Blueberry.

Risen like a phoenix from the ashes of Ramir Bolanos DeCastro’s beloved Purple Potato it is as a Bakery that the former Yonaka Chef’s legacy continues to grow via Donuts, Cookies, Ube-based treats and Filipino Pastries.

Previously offered for delivery or takeout only, but now brick and mortar at 6370 W Flamingo Rd #20, it was Tuesday that seventeen items were procured for tasting and shared by a group during workhours.

Never actually gone from the local food scene, the rebranding of Yonaka and Purple Potato followed by a consulting gig at LAS, Chef DeCastro’s current lineup continues with Croissant, Ring and Polvoron Bismarck Donuts, this day featuring a dozen varieties ranging from Pistachio to Salted Yema and several styles featuring Flan.

Also bringing back the Banana Bread for cooler weather, plus new items for each holiday, fans of things besides Donuts will be delighted to know Ramir recently added Ube Cheese Bars plus a Brownie that is thicker and better.

Cubanidad Express Catering [12,] Las Vegas NV

Cubanidad

Medianoche Sandwich – Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese, Homemade Mustard Sauce, Sweet Egg Dough Bread

Fried Plantain Tostones

Cuban Rice & Beans

Ropa Vieja and Plantain Empanada

Mariquitas

Guava Cheese Pastelitos

Now inhabiting the block south of Spring Mountain Road on Fort Apache since just before Memorial Day 2019 Cubanidad can safely be considered a success story thanks to traditional Food made well plus several new items added by customer demand.

Dubbed “the Ybor Original,” locations in Tampa Bay as well as Miami highly regarded for the Cuisine of Chef Dennis Martinez Miranda, it was by Toast that fourteen items were ordered for take-out thus saving both sides several dollars in fees.

Packing everything in temperature-controlled containers, it was with goods unpacked that staff explored flavors novel yet familiar, Hispanics quick to praise Empanadas packed with shredded Beef and Plantains.

A locally-owned import, Chef Miranda’s Cuban upbringing and professional training in Venezuela yielding products with big flavors, Beans and aromatic Rice outperform expectations while Medianoche features housemade Bread that stands up nicely to Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese and Mustard Sauce.

Not about to skip Dessert, Pastelitos eat light, flaky and better than those at any local Panaderia thanks to Butter-laminated Pastry nearly bursting with Coconut Jam or Guava Jam and Cream Cheese.

Whip X Banh Mi

Pandan Vietnamese Coffee

Vietnamese Egg Coffee

Begun in Garden Grove and now sharing a Chinatown space with Sandwich specialist Carrot & Daikon Whip takes an artisan approach to Vietnamese Coffee, a variety of customizable drinks served hoy or cold packing plenty of punch with texture as an added bonus.

Found at 5960 Spring Mountain Road inside Suite 3D, an attractive space with low seating plus an Instagram-friendly alcove, drinks range $6 to $7.50 with roots in Buon Me Thuot and sustainable practices but a modern eye to what sells in the modern era.

Focused on Robusta Beans and thin metal filters, Condensed Milk adding sweetness, flavors like Truffle or seafoam green Pandan find themselves adjacent Cà phê trứng made the traditional way with Coffee beneath whisked Yolks in a smooth, rich and Custard-like topping.

CHICKEN PAD SEE EWE

BEEF PANANG CURRY

LARB PED

PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE

Begun by Suweera Thongthaisiri and Sutsawat Promkul in 1976 Weera Thai-Larb Ped still stands in Chiang Mai, and since 2010 son Peter Thonguthaisiri has opened four Weera Thai Restaurants here in Las Vegas expanding on that concept.

Launched in 2019 at Shanghai Plaza, a concise footprint open from 11:00am to 10:00pm daily, it is amidst flowers and wood that guests are invited to begin with Cocktails, Thai Tea or Coffee.

Referencing Isaan traditions and Thai Street-Food, items like golden packed with Chicken Curry decidedly the latter, Suweera’s ground duck with Herbs, Lime and Chili is a signature for good reason while Thai Beef Jerky is excellent with or without dipping Sauce.

Finding Spring Rolls fried while Papaya Salad is not, different from the location on Rainbow, Wednesday also saw crispy Duck unavailable while Pineapple Rice at spice level four offers a good bit of kick with Raisins and Cashews providing balance.

Offering Issan Sausage less snappy than Lotus, and this time with soggy Cucumbers, Pad See Ew remains a bit too sticky while Beef Panang Curry came loaded with Meat and a good bit of heat to be eaten with White Rice.

Meraki Greek Grill

Beef and Lamb Gyro, Chicken Gyro

Spanakopita

Hummus – Garbanzo Beans, Tahini, Lemon

Mama’s Rice Pudding

Baklava – Phyllo, Walnuts, Honey

Formerly a regular part of the lunch rotation, Estiatorio Milos Chef Nikos Georgousis and Girair ‘Jerry’ Goumroian of Henderson’s The Great Greek all-but rescuing the plaza on Rainbow at Tropicana in early 2017, it was once again that Meraki was ordered on Tuesday.

Nothing less than an Off-Strip sensation since opening its doors guests may now opt for dine-in or take-out from any of six locations, Meraki’s servings always more than generous and prices affordable even as prices everywhere rise.

Defined as “doing something with soul, creativity and love,” a spirit embodied by courteous employees, it was at noon that employees arrived to easy-stacking boxes containing temperature-control trays, this simple extra step guaranteeing Food is indistinguishable from that served inside the Restaurant.

Serving a diverse crowd, but doing so with an impressive spread of Proteins, Produce and imported Ingredients, Hummus remains a highlight in terms of taste and texture while tangy Tzatziki shines thanks to “authentic” Greek Yogurt.

This time putting plenty of Feta on Meraki’s Salads, just the it aught to be, Greek Rice receives high praise for its fluffiness and flavor while the Gyro kit allowed ample customization of marinated Chicken or Gyro Meat with Tomatoes, Lettuce and Onion

Happy to find no shortage of Pita, soft and warm rounds gratuitously slathered with dueling Spreads, Vegetarians can choose crisp and oilless Potatoes lightly perfumed by Herbs or two-bite Falafel that are light but toothsome and fragrant with Garlic as well as Cilantro.

Not forgetting Dessert, Mama’s Rice Pudding always a staff favorite, Honey-soaked Baklava rife with Walnuts is also highly recommended and arguably the best in Sin City.

Summer House

Apple Oatmeal Cookie

Brown Butter Crispy Rice Treat

Birthday Cake Cookie

Despite signage suggesting Summer House Santa Monica the location inside Durango Casino & Resort is actually Lettuce Entertain You’s first branch of the “California-inspired Restaurant” out west, and regardless of what might be inside the Cookie Bar out front is a sight for sore eyes.

Taking a Spago-esque approach to Market-fresh fare, think Pizzas and Pastas plus plates from an all-wood grill, it is for roughly $5-6 each that guests will find a dozen or more daily baked good including everything from classic Chocolate Chip with big dark chunks to Rice Crispy Treats with or without bits of Oreo in the mix.

A natural feeling space bathed in light, Rockwell Group taking on LEYE’s first off-Strip venture, guests not fond of Cocoa will find “Birthday Cake” far outpacing crumbl’s famous Frosted Cookie while both glazed Lemon and Peanut Butter eat soft and chewy within a gently crisp rim.

Always impressing with Brownies and Blondies, also offered Gluten Free, Summer House’s Apple Oatmeal Cookie reminisces of Autumn Apple Crisp in portable form while the all-new Wild Thai Banana and Dubai Chocolate Cookie are sweet but balanced and complex.

Yibin Burning Noodles

Located in Spring Mountain Center, across Jones Boulevard from EDO and China Mama, Noodlehead has quietly been earning a reputation thanks to handmade Noodles and Asian small plates offered at bargain prices with exemplary customer service.

Offered at a range of spice-levels, Malaysian Curry using Coconut Milk to keep Chilies in check, Dan Dan Noodles come tingly but not fiery in a huge bowl for just $10.95 while similarly priced Chow Mein performs well for more timid palates.

Adding Chinese Beef Rolls that come densely packed with Meat, or faultless Scallion Pancakes for those seeking something lighter, Yibin Burning Noodle are a worthy “signature” from the Chef’s home town that adds Pickled Vegetables and Peanuts to the mix.

Open for lunch and dinner daily Noodlehead also offers exceptional Vegetarian options such as Black Fungus and Cucumber Salad or Crispy Satay Tofu across a diverse menu from which almost anyone can find something to suit their tastes.

Dulce de Leche Donut

Samoa Donut

A repeat champion on Dessert Wars it seems only natural that Yonutz is now expanding via franchises, a late-2023 location on South Durango joining the rapidly expanding corridor now home to UnCommons, Durango Casino and The Bend.

Big on branding, so much so that they are “home to” influencers per the website, Yonutz’s claim to fame is a “SMASHED” Donut seen at Afters since 2014, though here the Donuts baked twice-daily are uniquely topped or filled with more choices than the competition.

Roughly $3 per Donut without Ice Cream, seemingly a bargain compared to the likes of Wicked, St. Honore or Gabi, where Yonutz falls short is actually the products themselves as Donuts are on par with Dunkin thanks to a flavorless base that is dense yet slightly dry.

Opened November 11th, the owner still on-site offering free bites to guests in early January, roughly half the “Giant” Donuts come simply glazed while others arrive with filling, none really “giant” but most overloaded enough to make up for the unremarkable Dough.

Offering over two-dozen flavors daily, in addition to freshly-fried minis available in a keto-friendly fashion, any discussion of Wicked Donuts should begin with the base, buttery Brioche or toothsome Cake enjoyable beneath tangy Buttermilk or Vanilla Glaze, though upgrading to Chocolate, Blueberry or Maple is highly advised.

Eschewing Artificial Colors or Preservatives, a fact pertinent to Cream-filled choices, suffice it to say that most will not last long whether it be decadent “Sticky Sinn-a-Bun” or the more nuanced Bella Nutella.

Executing Ansel’s invention well, available filled, topped or coated in Sugar, Crème Brulee continues to impress in its subtlety while “Puffernuts,” Crullers and Cubes add even more variability to the collection.

Crumbl (Durango) [34,] Las Vegas NV

Crumbl

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake

Snickerdoodle Skillet Cookie

Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake

Cake Batter Cookie

Peanut Butter Crisp Cookie featuring Butterfinger

Born in Logan Utah Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable rounds offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now in all fifty states with six in Las Vegas including the Durango location opened in May 2020.

Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after several variable experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant while describing each choice.

Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, though occasionally one may find “Mystery Cookies” including specials from the previous week.

Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Peanut Butter Crisp Cookie,” a nice texture with complexity added by Butterfinger Crumbles while Double Chocolate Chip is executed as it aught to be.

Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that “Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake” took on the namesake before “Cake Batter” doubled down on Sprinkles with good effect.

Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name suffice it to say “Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake” wouldn’t be out of place in a local Restaurant while “Snickerdoodle Skillet Cookie” tastes like a Cinnamon Roll but is even more indulgent.

No less impressive with Wings and Fries there is a reason John and Sam have been successfully serving Las Vegas for so long, a good part of it skill and doing things the right way but also by focusing on the customer to deliver on their promises for budgets big or small.

Couve Specialty Coffee [2,] Las Vegas NV

Couve Specialty Coffee

Pistachio Cardamom Cookie

Double Chocolate Pecan Cookie

Maple Pecan Scone

Strawberry Pepper Scone

Cheddar Chive Scone

Presumably an amenity established mainly for denizens of The Gramercy Couve Specialty Coffee opened in May of 2025, the design so “minimalist” it is actually off-putting in a way that seems not only pretentious but frankly unwelcoming even when compared to the likes of Blue Bottle or Sawada.

Priced on par or higher than Coffee Class or Mothership, onsite machinery suggesting Couve roasts its own Beans, guests are invited to choose amongst limited options including several Matcha based beverages while “Cold Brew” is unavailable aside from Espresso shots over Ice “Americano.”

Serving Cookies and Scones, rotating flavors of the later tasty but falling short of Leafs and Grounds in terms of texture, the Pistachio Cardamom Cookie stands out with obvious Nordic influences but it will nonetheless be interesting to see how well this concept fares with growing competition and most folks willing to settle for Starbucks just a few yards away.

Zaytoon Restaurant & Market [11,] Las Vegas NV


Zaytoon Restaurant & Market

Masto Khiar

Hummus

Kashk Bademjan

Baba Ghanoush

Koobideh Kabob

Chicken Kabob

Lavash

Fesenjaan – Chicken, Pomegranate Walnut Sauce

As the eldest occupant of Global West Plaza and the oldest Persian Restaurant In Las Vegas Zaytoon is more easily overlooked than many local eateries, but using the same recipes for decades the space on Durango is a breath of fresh air in a time when authenticity is often lacking.

Family owned and the combination of eatery plus market, the later featuring imported goods as well as groceries, plates come from a kitchen steeped in tradition such that everything from Lavash to several styles of Baklava are made on-site daily.

Muslim owned and Halal-certified, a name that translates as Olive seemingly appropriate for peaceful confines, guests can expect Kabobs served at a fair price though the real highlights come from Stews such as bold Ghormeh Sabizi and Fesenjaan that is complex but not overly sweet like many.

Glaze Doughnuts [35,] Las Vegas NV

Glaze Doughnuts

Apple Fritter

Black Sesame Doughnut

Oreo Vanilla Doughnut

Matcha Green Tea Pistachio Doughnut

Blueberry Cinnamon Toast Doughnut

Horchata and Churro Doughnut

Texas Size Doughnut

Vanilla Frosting and Sprinkles Doughnut

Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing family recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in nearly a decade while their soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.

Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.

Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Vanilla Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.

Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Black and White Sesame dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Vanilla with Oreos do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.
