Napoli Pizza & Restaurant is working on another pizzeria in the Las Vegas Valley. According to a City of Las Vegas permit, the popular family-owned local fixture is planning to open next in the Arts District at 1001 S 1st St, Suite 190.
The address is in Downtown Las Vegas and is part of the historic Mission Linen Building, which Dapper Companies redeveloped into a mixed-use retail and restaurant destination anchored by the Evel Knievel Museum.
What Now Las Vegas briefly spoke with Napoli Pizza and Restaurant co-owner Vahan Balian, who confirmed the opening and shared that the plan is to open the new pizza joint in the Arts District by this winter. Unfortunately, Balian was unable to share further details by the time of this publication.
“For over 20 years, Napoli Pizza & Restaurant has transformed what it means to be a local restaurant in Las Vegas,” the Napoli Pizza and Restaurant website reads.
“More than just a place to enjoy a great meal, Napoli has built a strong sense of community—giving back in meaningful ways, including donating $5 from every 36” pizza sold to support underserved communities across the valley.”
The business originally operated under the “Napoli Pizzeria” brand when founder Hakob Alaverdyan started it in Las Vegas in 2005. In 2006, the specific management team and foundational history tied to the current owners, Harry Abkarian, Victor, and Nyree Balian, officially took root, establishing the specific family-run legacy and local charity partnerships known today.
The eatery built a local reputation for introducing giant 30-inch and 36-inch hand-tossed, New York-style pizzas to the Las Vegas area.
“Napoli first was named as the home of the 30” pizza, shocking the city with its massive size,” the brand’s website reads.
“Not long after, they pushed limits again by introducing the 36” pizza—the largest in Las Vegas, continuing their reputation for making massive pizzas.”
Alongside classic East Coast-style pies and slices, the kitchen serves pasta, wings, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and Italian desserts. They also feature options like Mexican-style chorizo pizza and in-house-made gluten-free dough.
“Napoli is committed to using fresh ingredients, making delicious recipes, and providing quality service,” the company’s website says.
“This dedication has earned them the trust of families throughout the city. With multiple locations across the valley, Napoli is ready to serve you—whether it’s your next family dinner or a special catering event.”
You can find Napoli Pizza & Restaurant at three spots across the Las Vegas Valley: West Sahara and Decatur, West Lake Mead and Jones, and Blue Diamond and Rainbow.
