"Named after the flour used to make Neapolitan pizzas, 00 serves top-tier pies in a dimly-lit setting where you can catch a friend up on the last three months of your life. The sure bet on the menu is the pepperoni pizza with creamy vodka sauce and chili crunch, though the more creative options, like the eggplant caponata or salami rossa with garlic confit and preserved lemons, are also worth considering (get here on the earlier side around 4pm, since their pies sometimes sell out)." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce
"Michael Vakneen, one of Las Vegas’s most talented pizzaiolos, helms the wood-fired oven at Double Zero Pie & Pub, a casual restaurant tucked into a busy Chinatown strip mall. The recipe is simple: Neo-Neapolitan-style pizzas with blistered crusts and top-notch ingredients on top, such as vodka sauce, fior di latte, and dry-aged pepperoni or spicy soppressata with giardiniera and roasted peppers. Since opening, Double Zero has gained international recognition for its stellar pies, worthy of a short cab ride from the Strip. Prices are very reasonable too, offering a bit of a respite on the wallet after a few days of pricey resort meals. —Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: There’s a late-night happy starting at 9 p.m. for those who want even more budget-friendly drink options with their pizza." - Matthew Kang
"A Las Vegas restaurant with Michael Vakneen as a James Beard Foundation Awards semifinalist in 2025." - Rebecca Roland
"With joyously bubbly and crispy crust, cocktails on tap, and creamy tiramisu, Michael Vakneen is dishing his meticulously baked Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizzas inside his new Double Zero Pie & Pub. Try the Speck pizza layered with white sauce, speck, mozzarella, fig jam, and candied pecans, or the Diavola pie with red sauce and spicy sausage, is cut by the lightly blackened and slightly salty crust." - Janna Karel
"Chef Michael Vakneen added a few subtle touches to the classic Neapolitan pizza, making an already great thing even better." - Janna Karel
