I’ve had the burrata, miso, and pesto. Delicious every time. Love the burrata especially, it’s their version of a classic slice done very well. The crust and the house made tomato sauce ????????????

Done with this place. They incorrectly advertise their hours and their product is inconsistent. I came from across town to order pizza here because it said they were open until 11 on google. However, they were closed by 10:20pm when I arrived. How can you run a legitimate business if youre not open when you say you will be?
Their pizza is soggy and stale half of the time anyway so maybe it was a sign. Tried to like to this place but they keep giving me reasons not to like them.

Tried 4 slices (Miso Mushroom and Pesto Potato were already sold out unfortunately) and I really liked the burrata and the fig and pig. Their collab slice (chicken prosciutto) and pepperoni basil were oka, 3rd and 4th respectively.

The pizza is outstanding. Beautiful crust delicious but I can’t get past the fact, the cook is filthy. Playing with his phone, touching everything in the restaurant with his bare sweaty hands. This is unacceptable, you guys don’t get a pass, you are not special. Talk to your staff.

First experience was okay, but have been disappointed since.
There doesnt seem to be quality control. My wife and I both ordered 3 slices each and her slices were literally twice the size of mine. I think I got end pieces or something. Because it’s not a pie cut pizza the slices drastically vary in size despite costing the same. This has happened to us twice.
On another occasion I ordered a slice of cheese pizza (burrata) and apparently it usually comes with ricotta on it but mine had none on it.

Talk about tasty! The toppings and combinations of toppings are always unique, delicious and have the perfect name to capture the slice. The Fig & Pig - both sweet and savory; the Potato Pesto - is creamy yet crunchy. Definitely one of my favorite pizza slices in the city! I recommend AT LEAST two slices a person!

Amazing. They start with crisp on the bottom, flavorful, light olive oil focaccia/ciabatta style loaves. Then they top with chef crafted quality ingredients to form SUCH flavorful combos...oh and the cheese...they do something like whip the mozzarella until it's whipped cream consistency, like a cloud, that effortlessly melts away and blends with the spice of the pepperoni and other toppers. Everything about the slice is delicious, flavorful, bold, but also delicate.
Seriously some of the best..if not the best.. pizza I've ever had.
I only wish they were open more hours. (Pizza by the slice, not available to grab for a quick lunch or afternoon snack????????) And they only take card.. If they could move to the suburbs and get a drive thru + dine in location, I bet there'd be lines of cars all day long. Anyways, great product.

I had two squares of sausage pizza from here. While the restaurant space is pretty nice, I don't enjoy their pizza. I found it to be salty and not what I was looking for. I wish thier menu mentioned the pizza is not traditional in style. I probably would have not brought it to begin with. Overall, would probably not recommend unless I know the person enjoyed a bit of goat cheese with a strong salt flavor. Cool space tho.

This is not pizza. It’s like focaccia. It’s so thick that most of the surface of the pizza stuck to the top of the pizza box. What was left intact was not very good either. Just weird tasting fancy-priced bread. It’s weird when kids won’t eat pizza. The evening of, every one was too polite to say how bad it was and ate it, but weeks later, we all agree that it was terrible. Also, why is it thicker than a Big Mac? You almost have to dislocate your jaw like a snake to fit it in your mouth to take a bite.

Absolutely the best relaxed dining experience and one of a kind pizza places in the city. Attached to an iconic bar with lube music.nightly, this place oozes good karma Incredible staff, ownership, lighting, atmosphere, and the pizza will rock your taste buds. Great pizza...wish I worked there!

I'm not a pizza connoisseur an can't tell the difference between Sicilian and New York pizza like some people mentioned in reviews here. But Pizza Friendly Pizza definitely makes delicious pies. Thank you!!

First experience was delicious. Beautiful airy and crispy crust. Great flavor. Second, not so much. Our pizza was very burnt and overwhelmingly tasted like grease. There was only one slice that didn’t have any burnt pepperoni! Since it was over cooked, much of the crust was dry. For $40/pie, shouldn’t there be some quality control? Disappointing…

Don’t listen to bad reviews. It’s people who go in not understanding where they are going. This isn’t classic New York or tavern style pizza. It’s a grandma style pizza with fermented crust. The pizza was delicious, super soft in the middle and extra crispy on the bottom. You can tell they put a lot of effort into the dough recipe to keep it light and fluffy. Will definitely be back.

Dinner for Me (or 2 I suppose) - Four slices of pizza - Fig & Pig, Sausage & Fennel, Miso Mushroom, and Roasted Kabocha Squash, The Other Salad, and breadsticks with vegan cheese.
Some of the best pizza that I have had in months. The weekly special was my favourite - kabocha squash was savoury with a hint of sweetness from the squash. The Fig & Pig was a close second.

I can’t begin to describe the utter bliss Pizza Friendly Pizza has bestowed upon me. My partner and I picked up their “Dinner for Two” and it was the perfect end to our weekend. The pizza was hot, fluffy, full of flavor and as advertised. The Caesar salad was fresh and the dressing was perfect. This was my first time at PFP and I can confidently say we’ll be back!

Our first experience was just ok, we were excited to try this spot because it looked so good online but I think it’s a place that is better enjoyed when dining there. We live very close so we ordered for pick up. The pizza was very cold, and our $10 salad wasn’t anything special, basically just a pile of kale. The flavors of pizza weren’t bad but it was cold and a bit dry so hard to really enjoy. Not sure if we will give it another try.

One of the more unique, amazing pizzas that I've ever experienced. The dough is some full, but light and airy with a crunch that is irresistible. Can't recommend enough.

Absolutely delicious, I really appreciate the multiple layers of texture in the pizza, especially the fluffiness on the top and the crispiness on the bottom! The cheese is also good quality, and I like that there's a little bit of a kick in some of the slices. The pizzaberry tonic is a must!

This pizza is crazy good. Best deal is to get your slice, Lu and shot of fernet for $10! Though, I usually have to have to eat a second slice. Quick and friendly service, they have some seating available. Despite being in the alley, it's a super chill ambiance. Stay for the tunes!

Although outsiders will suggest Las Vegas’ Pizza scene cannot compare to the likes of New York or Chicago it comes as no surprise to in-the-know locals that Michelin 2* Chef Noah Sandoval reached out to Metro Pizza’s John Arena when concocting the Dough for his Sicilian-style concept that recently took over the old Bite Cafe space in Ukrainian Village.
A collaboration called Pizza Friendly Pizza, its current location in the alley behind Bruce Finkelman’s Empty Bottle offering four daily Slices or Pies from a walk-up window, guests in the era of COVID-19 will find the space open Wednesday through Sunday from 4:30pm, social distancing assured by the fast-paced line and a kitchen that already operates with efficiency.
Priced at $4.50 per Slice, a smattering of Salads and Sandwiches plus well-priced Alcohol rounding out Pizza Friendly Pizza’s concise menu, those seeking a low-cost customizable Pie will be better served elsewhere as Sandoval predictably cuts no corners in terms of Ingredient quality or attention to detail.
Quick to gain popularity, a dozen patrons in line before the patio opened for business, it was fifteen minutes later that three squares and a locally-made Italian Ice were taken to seats along West Cortez Street, first bites of Rapini & Lemon bright with faint smokiness but most notable for Crust that is thick but buoyant with a crackling base and developed yeastiness.
Staying “cheffy” with Ruben’s Special, housemade Italian Sausage plus medium-spicy Giardiniera undeniably *Chicago* beneath Provolone, those seeking Pizza Friendly Pizza’s most usual Slice will find it listed as “Pepperoni & Basil,” but even here Saandoval sources Ezzo’s baked to crisp cups and matches it to aged Parm plus a bit of Mozzarella atop just a splash of Sauce.
