Uncle Joe’s Pizza

This location has officially closed. No idea why they have not popped up somewhere else in vegas. I absolutely loved this place.

THIS is a BIG Mistake on the part of The DownTown Project in displacing Joe like this. I’m NOT HAPPY. I always looked forward to going there to see and talk to Joe and having a slice was a bonus. Someone please report here where he has relocated so we can all support him and let him know we CARE… I am NOT HAPPY about this at all.

I have to say I was very impressed with the pizza here.
This pizzaria serves a near perfect crispy and chewy crust. It should be scientifically impossible to get a pizza crust perfectly chewy yet crispy like they do especially on a thin crust New York style piece of pie.
The sauce was sweet and spicy; the toppings while just sprinkled on top of a piece of cheese pizza and reheated her plentiful and delicious.
Service was fast, décor was very ghetto inspired New York city. Graffiti on the walls and about $ 100 in singles with names on them pinned to their home town on the maps painted on the walls.
I definitely won’t forget they are there and will be stopping by for another slice or two.

It came to my attention yesterday that I have not written a review for Uncle Joe’s. I’ll keep it short:
In the evenings you’ll find a passionate pizza purveyor working his magic. Jeff is Sicilian, he’s «from back east» as our people say, and he puts a little bit of home into each crust, each topping, and in fact each item on the menu.
But there are two reasons I’m giving all 5 (and possibly two more if possible) stars.
1. I asked Jeff about a «real calzone» like from back home, he came through and has done so every time since. We’re talking deep-​friend, but not baked first. Ham and cheese, that’s what a calzone is, out of the fryer with some sauce. Done.
2. My mom was in town for a couple of days and while she’s not able to enjoy the full depth and grandeur any longer due to some dietary constraints, Jeff whipped up something delicious anyway. Maybe that my mom is 100% Italian from back east had something to do with it? Eh, while Jeff certainly took care of us and they talked about growing up Italian, Jeff is an all-​around good guy, and no matter how frazzled he gets he still wants to feed everybody some good stuff, because that’s what you do when you’re Italian.
Uncle Joe’s has been around for a while, Jeff is no small part of the reason. That’s where I go for my pizza and calzone fix…

Pizza & wings were delicious and the Philly Cheesesteak looked incredible! If I had any complaint it would be that the wings were a little small. They were so good that it kept us wanting more…

This place has a heck of a philly! the 8oz was split between 3 guys along with a large sausage pizza. I took a half and a slice and I was stuffed. They truly pack the philly!

I was looking for somewhere to eat after 11:00 pm on Thursday night with my son and two nephews– all teenagers. We tried a few places and it was near closing time for many of them– none of them seemed overly eager to serve us– casinos and shops included. Jeff set up 4 of us with a large pepperoni pizza, 25 chicken wings and 4 drinks as he and his employees were wrapping up the day. After wandering around Vegas for the day, it was the best pizza and wings ever!

Not anything to write home about but some decent pizza for downtown when you have a buzz. Typical street pizza greasy.

I’ve been going to uncle joes for the last 5 or 6 years since I stumbled out of the griffin and needed some late night eats. I ordered the Italian sandwich and literally to this day it’s still the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. I tell everyone I know about that sandwich. I moved away from Vegas about two years ago but went back recently on vacation. Uncle joe still remembered me and what I always order. How awesome is that?
I have tried their philly and their pizza as well and it’s dam good too. The pizza is thin and crispy and delicious and the Philly is awesome. Can’t wait to visit again and have another Italian sandwich.

So I know what you’re thinking … she probably has never eaten at Uncle Joe’s … sober. Well, you’re correct, but the alcohol does not affect my judgement (when it comes to pizza, at least). This is, hands down, my favorite spot in LV to grab a slice. The bonus? It’s in the middle of some very cool lounges/​bars on good ol’ Fremont Street. And they stay open past 10pm.
I’ve only ever eaten the pizza here, mostly cheese and veggie slices. The menu extends beyond just pizza. I’ve ordered whole pies (and ate them alone) and sometimes only a slice. It’s my goal to come here, no matter the reason I end up on Fremont. The crust is thin, and the sauce is delicious. A perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. They don’t short you on the toppings, either. The service is quick, considering the rapid turnover this place experiences on a Friday/​Saturday evening. If you plan on ordering a whole pizza in the middle of a busy weekend here, you may experience a wait. There’s usually a line. But if you’re searching for THE pizza, stop here!

You might pass this place by if you aren’t looking for it, but it has the best pizza in town. The pizza is also a great price!
The first time I went to Vegas we stayed downtown at the El Cortez. The bf and I wanted pizza, so we decided to try Uncle Joe’s because it was so close. We walked over and took a pepperoni pizza back to our room. Let me just tell you, it was such great pizza we went back later on that day and the next day for more!
Now whenever we go to Vegas we have to stop by and get a slice or two. As long as the pizza stays great, we will be coming back.

This place was ok.
Uncle Joe was actually there working his butt off. So props to him!
Can’t base my review on the pizza because I unfortunately gave up bread for lent :(
But the chicken wings I had was pretty good to me! Simple, plain wings. Had asked for the buffalo sauce on the side. It was a good sobering meal for the night!
They were busy, but quick! Which is always a plus!

This place is pretty regular to me. A good place to come when you’re drunk.
The pizza is pretty mediocre. If you order just a slice of pizza it just looks like it’s a cheese pizza & they just place the toppings on top and not do much with it. I like how it’s thin crust, it does the job right as far as it being sober up food but ehhhh I probably wouldn’t come here when I’m sober to eat.

I work a couple of blocks away from Uncle Joe’s Pizza, and I’ve heard that their Philly Steak sandwich is pretty good. My regular go-​to place for lunch had a 20 minute wait, so I decided to checkout this little mom-​and-​pop hole in the wall.
I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak with a side of crinkle fries and a soda for $ 9.99. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to get my food. And while I was waiting, I was admiring the atmosphere of the small restaurant. It seems that writing on the walls is encouraged. This place reminded me of a small pizza joint you’d find in NY City.
When the food came, I was NOT disappointed in the shear amount of goodness on my plate. They are definitely giving with the portion sizes! The Philly was hot and juicy, and the bread was soft. There was a good ratio of meat (mixed with onions, peppers, and mushrooms) to bread. The entire sandwich could be split between two people for lunch.
Will I be back… Most definitely!

I was skeptical… With a predisposed love of all things BK or NY tyle, and pizza is definitely number one on that list… But kudos for the cheese slice. Now I’ve got my go-​to spot for a slice of some good pizza… NY style.
Need more visits for that 5-​star. Hmmm maybe next week. Mmmm pizzzzzzaaa…

Uncle Joe’s is in my top 3 favorite pizza spots in Vegas!
The interior is what you’d expect an old school Pizzeria would look like – with a small dining area and the ordering counter right at the doorway.
The quality of their pizza never fails to ravage the tastebuds in my mouth. I also love getting their hot wings, which are nice and crispy.
If you’re in the East Fremont area, I’d definitely recommend you try this hole-​in-​the-​wall joint. It’s most definitely better then most pizza places that pose to be «legit» but don’t even touch the perfection of Joe’s pies.

I ordered a slice of cheese and a slice of veggie (minus the onions) both were pretty good. I didn’t much care for the buffalo chicken (bites) that Lindsey O. ordered. Both of us were expecting it to be a pizza. I’m not sure how it was labeled or if both of us were distracted by the over indulgence of mini margaritas that we drank at the Unilocal event at La Comida. It could really go either way.
Staff is really friendly. I always admire the staff that doesn’t get frustrated with drunk (not saying that we were drunk) customers.
Prices seem to be a little pricey, especially for downtown. But the slices are large. I ordered two slices and it was more than enough.
This place gets an extra star for being open late. Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite when you are pub crawling around Fremont.

Thankfully this place re-​opened. What’s there to say… you can get a nice NY style pizza hot and fresh here for far less than the poor excuse for a pizza parlor across the street. When I say hot, I mean HOT… holy mackerel does that pie come out smoking hot. Good quality and good service to be found here into the late evening. Great spot to grab a quick slice when on E. Fremont. Uncle Joe’s a cool guy too… just don’t get on his bad side or he’ll toss you out on the street like yesterday’s trash as was witnessed when two assholes decided to go toe to toe in the restaurant. Good times!

The best ny style pizza I’ve had outside of ny! You think of pizza delivery and you think of cold over or under cooked pizza that’s either too cheesy and greasy or just too crusty and doughy.
The veggie pizza here was delicious and after two slices, all I wished for is that I had a larger stomach to fit in one more! The slices here are quite large btw!
They chop their veggies finely — don’t know why it’s so hard for others to do this — so every bite is perfectly balanced. I really don’t like large chunks of veggies thrown on top. It also was not cheese overload — they used it for flavor but I didn’t find myself tearing off chunks if unnecessary cheese from any part!
The pizza here was amazing! Amazing amazing! Highly recommend!

Feeling like pizza and being in the area of Uncle Joe’s meant that something good was in store for dinner.
We parked in a dirt lot on Ogden and 6^th. It is free and plenty of other cars are parked there and I have seen security walk by it before. It isn’t that far of a walk to Fremont St from here.
Upon entering Uncle Joe’s there was luckily one table left! They have a TV and some college game was on that people were going crazy over. We change up what we get each time. This trip we got a large pepperoni pizza and 2 fountain drinks. The total for that was $ 13.65! You can’t beat it! The pizza was made fresh and brought to our table with plates, silverware and napkins. It was delicious as always. If you have any left overs they will give you to go boxes.
The inside is very clean. The moment someone gets up from a table to leave there is someone wiping down the table.
If you don’t prefer fountain drinks they to offer sodas in a can. I saw Pepsi and Cherry Pepsi.
If you like cheese steak sandwiches then you must try the one here. It is made fresh to order and is very good.
