Richie Marsigliano: Third-Generation Recipes on West Sahara
Richie Marsigliano grew up in the kitchen. His family’s Italian cooking traditions stretch back three generations, and by the time he was old enough to work, he was already washing dishes and watching his elders turn simple ingredients into something worth remembering. That apprenticeship shaped a philosophy he still follows today: scratch-made dough, house-pulled mozzarella, sauces built from whole tomatoes rather than cans of paste. When Marsigliano opened his own pizzeria at 8125 West Sahara Avenue, Suite 170, in 2019, the goal was straightforward — serve pizza the way his family always made it and let the food do the talking. Within a few years, Yelp reviewers had done exactly that, pushing the restaurant past 1,060 reviews and a 4.7-star rating that currently ranks it as the highest-rated pizzeria in the state of Nevada.
The menu at Marsigliano’s extends beyond pizza into Italian-American staples like calzones, pasta, and house salads, but the pies remain the draw. Dough is made fresh daily, toppings are prepped each morning, and the kitchen runs a tight operation that keeps wait times reasonable even on busy Friday nights. The restaurant earned a national spotlight when it was featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, a segment that brought attention from tourists and locals alike but did not change how Marsigliano runs his kitchen. The recipes stayed the same. The portions stayed generous. The prices stayed accessible for a neighborhood restaurant that depends on repeat customers rather than one-time visitors hunting for a TV endorsement.
Marsigliano’s Pizzeria in the Las Vegas Valley
West Sahara Avenue between Fort Apache and Durango has quietly become one of the stronger restaurant corridors on the west side of the valley, anchored by a mix of ethnic cuisine, fast-casual chains, and a handful of independent operators who have carved out loyal followings through consistency rather than marketing budgets. Marsigliano’s Pizzeria fits that mold precisely. The restaurant draws from Summerlin, the Lakes, and the surrounding west Las Vegas neighborhoods where families want a quality Italian dinner without the drive to the Strip or the price tag of a resort dining room. For a city with no shortage of pizza options, Marsigliano’s has distinguished itself by doing the basics at an exceptionally high level and letting the reviews speak for themselves.
