Sorry, and you&rsquo;re welcome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whiskey Licker Up has lots of great food, including its world-renowned chicken tenders. We should know, as we made them world-renowned.<\/p>\n<p>The new pizza menu at Whiskey Licker Up builds on the restaurant&rsquo;s strengths&#8288;&mdash;crowd-pleasing food at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n<p>The menu includes six specialty pizzas, plus a &ldquo;build your own&rdquo; option.<\/p>\n<p>There are also stromboli. Specifically, the Meat Head Stromboli and Veg Head Stromboli. So, two stromboli. We are only 15% sure &ldquo;stromboli&rdquo; is the plural of stromboli, moving on.<\/p>\n<p>We tried the Butcher Shop specialty pizza and it was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, we order cheese so there&rsquo;s a common baseline we can use to compare various pizzas, but we were feeling wild. It&rsquo;s Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>The Butcher Shop is a meat lovers wet dream, with Italian sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, meatballs, pepper bacon and ground beef.<\/p>\n<p>Worth noting, the pizza sauce is made in-house. Mostly, though, it&rsquo;s about the meat.<\/p>\n<p>The specialty thin crust pizzas run $16 for the 10-inch, $21 for the 16-inch. The build-your-own pizzas cost $12 for a 10-inch (plus $2 each per topping) and $16 for the 16-inch (add $3 each per topping).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33329\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-33329 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/whiskey_licker_up_pizza_menu1.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bonus: Knots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The pizza is very filling and we couldn&rsquo;t finish our pizza. The comely and helpful bartender said, &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t finish a 10-inch, either.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>At which point our head nearly exploded as we struggled to keep our joke inside, because maturity.<\/p>\n<p>The other specialty pizzas looked tempting, too, although the Paniolo Hawaiian Pizza has pineapple on it, which is blaspheme and there should be a City ordinance preventing such culinary atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>Other noteworthy features of Whiskey Licker Up include a revolving bar overlooking the circus that is Fremont Street and several video poker machines at an indoor bar.<\/p>\n<p>These machines are, to use gaming industry jargon, loose AF. During our recent visit, our video poker machine paid and paid, and we actually started feeling guilty because it&rsquo;s not really &ldquo;gambling&rdquo; if you&rsquo;re just winning the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>We got over it, though.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33331\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-33331 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/whiskey_licker_up_video_poker.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegas adage we invented: If you quit while you&rsquo;re ahead, you&rsquo;ll never know how much aheader you might have been.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Binion&rsquo;s nails it again with reliable food and friendly service. It&rsquo;s nothing fancy, but hits the spot when one requires nourishment while participating in the shenanigans on Fremont Street.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, downtown is overflowing with great pizza.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;d also recommend the pizza being served at Sand Dollar Downtown, a new live music venue at Plaza. Sand Dollar gets its pizza from the nearby Pop-Up Pizza, but award-winning Chef Michael Vakneen has come up with varieties unique to Sand Dollar. They&rsquo;re fantastic, and delivered to the bar wherein reside even more loose video poker machines.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the menu.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pizza at Sand Dollar from Pop-Up Pizza <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlazaLasVegas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PlazaLasVegas<\/a> is outstanding.

It will change your life. If you like that style of pizza, with crispy cheese edges (&ldquo;frico&rdquo; in Italian, hence the name Superfrico at Cosmo) you&rsquo;ll love the pizzas at Sand Dollar, as they also have this heavenly characteristic.<\/p>\n<p>Farther east is Evel Pie, another outstanding pizza place in the Fremont East district.<\/p>\n<p>In the Arts District, don&rsquo;t miss the unbelievable pizza at Esther&rsquo;s Kitchen. This is the pizza most likely to have toppings you don&rsquo;t recognize, but somehow it works.<\/p>\n<p>Good Pie gets a lot of good buzz on Main Street. Not our favorite, if you try it, stick to the Sicilian.<\/p>\n<p>The sister casino of Binion&rsquo;s, Four Queens, has some tasty pizza in its Chicago Brewing Company restaurant. Although, we don&rsquo;t often manage to make it past the garlic knots.<\/p>\n<p>We haven&rsquo;t had it in awhile, but we have fond memories of the hand-made pizza at Main Street Station&rsquo;s Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery as well.<\/p>\n<p>The point is there&rsquo;s exceptional pizza everywhere you turn in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>The new pizza menu at Binion&rsquo;s is well worth checking out if you&rsquo;re working your way through the cavalcade of carbs that is downtown&rsquo;s pizza milieu.<\/p>\n<p>We aren&rsquo;t sure that&rsquo;s correct usage of &ldquo;milieu,&rdquo; but we didn&rsquo;t want to say &ldquo;scene&rdquo; again as it makes us sound like we haven&rsquo;t added any words to our vocabulary since 1974.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Downtown&rsquo;s robust pizza scene continues to get better and better.
