My favorite pizza stop on the Strip - hidden, easy to miss, and absolutely worth finding.
Secret Pizza
This place is famous for coal-fired pizza with a crisp crust. Try Margherita or classic pepperoni.
Grimaldi's Pizzeria
If you've never had Chicago deep-dish, this is the easiest place to try on the strip. Best for sharing with a group.

Pizza Rock
An upscale dining experience. My personal favorite are the Wagyu Tacos.

Sakana Sushi (All You Can Eat)
Love their handmade soup dumplings (xiao long bao)
