Join me as we embark on a culinary journey through cheesy goodness and crispy crusts at Northside Nathan’s Pizza. A place I have been going to since 1999. This unassuming family-owned and operated pizzeria has been making waves with authentic Detroit-style pies.
The Ambiance of Northside Nathan’s Pizza
Nestled in the northwest section of Las Vegas lies Northside Nathan’s Detroit Pizza. It’s one of my all-time favorite pizza joints in town. Stepping into Northside Nathan’s Pizza, you’re greeted with freshly baked pizzas and the cozy neighborhood joint’s warmth.
The décor feels like a movie set, with lots of Detroit-style nostalgia scattered throughout the space. Every detail pays homage to its roots, from vintage pizza boxes to murals of the Motor City. It’s also a haven for Red Wings fans!
The Menu
Now, let’s talk about the main event – the pizza. Northside Nathan’s Pizza offers a variety of classic and innovative pies, each crafted with care and attention to detail. From traditional pepperoni to gourmet combinations, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
But what sets their pizzas apart is their old-fashioned Detroit deep dish pizza with a crust that is thick, airy, and caramelized to perfection. Topped with a generous layer of cheese and sauce, every bite is a symphony of flavors and textures.
My favorite is the two-topping pepperoni and black olive personal 6-inch pizza. This gives you the optimal amount of crust, and you don’t have to share it with anyone else. If you are a ranch person, they also have the best ranch to dip your pizza in. The recipe has seriously not changed in 20 years. You won’t be disappointed in their menu options.
The Highlights
One bite of Northside Nathan’s pizza, and you’ll understand why it has become a local favorite. The crust, reminiscent of a Sicilian focaccia, strikes the perfect balance between chewy and crispy. And let’s not forget about the cheese – gooey, stretchy, and oh-so-indulgent.
Whether you’re a purist or an adventurous eater, their menu offers something for everyone. My favorite signature pies are the Nicely Nicely’s and the Sky Masterson. The Nicely Nicely’s is grilled chicken, mushroom, and garlic. The Sky Masterson is pepperoni, sausage, ham, and meatballs. Yum!
The Experience
Beyond the food, what also sets Northside Nathan’s Pizza apart is the experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the perfect pie or talk about the decor on the walls. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, you can expect prompt service and attention to detail.
Final Thoughts
In a city known for its extravagant dining options, Northside Nathan’s Pizza offers a refreshing change of pace. With its authentic Detroit-style pies, welcoming ambiance, and exceptional service, it’s no wonder why locals can’t get enough.
