Why it’s cool

This pizza parlor honors the world's most famous stuntman with an incredible collection of vintage memorabilia, including a life-size statue and his signature star-spangled imagery.

Tucked away in the neon glow of downtown Las Vegas, a slice of pizza comes with a side of death-defying history. This isn't just a place to grab a pepperoni pie.

It is a shrine to the man who made the red, white, and blue jumpsuit an icon of American bravery. The atmosphere is loud, nostalgic, and dedicated to the art of the stunt.

Why It Stands Out

Las Vegas served as the backdrop for one of the most famous moments in stunt history. On December 31, 1967, Evel Knievel attempted to clear the fountains at Caesars Palace.

The landing was disastrous, resulting in a crushed pelvis and multiple fractures. However, that crash catapulted him to global stardom.

Decades later, on April 14, 1989, his son Robbie returned to the same spot to successfully complete the jump. Today, this restaurant captures that spirit of risk and showmanship.

Every corner is packed with artifacts. You will find a working pinball machine, a bicycle suspended from the ceiling, and a life-size figure of the daredevil himself.

Above the bar, a portrait of Knievel in his signature cape watches over the diners. The walls are a gallery of jumps and crashes that defined a career of spectacular risk.

It is a rare chance to see the history of a man who died in 2007 but remains a legend of the strip. Another local spot celebrating the city's performance history is the Burlesque Hall of Fame.

Before You Go

The atmosphere is high-energy and the room often fills up quickly. If the indoor tables are full, the nearby park offers a great place to enjoy your food.

Parking is available on the street or in a dedicated lot located directly behind the building. You can access this lot via the side street.

Questions worth answering

What kind of memorabilia can we see inside?

A life-size figure of the daredevil and a working pinball machine fill the space. You will also see a bicycle hanging from the ceiling and a portrait over the bar.

Where should we park our car?

The street has some spots. You can also find a dedicated lot behind the building by using the side street.

What is the history behind the theme?

The restaurant honors the stuntman who crashed at the Caesars Palace fountains in 1967. His son later finished the jump in April of 1989.

Is it difficult to find a seat?

The room fills up fast because the energy is high. If the tables are full, take your food to the park next door.

Look for parking in the lot behind the restaurant if street spots are full. If the interior is too crowded for a table, take your pizza to the park right next door.

Know before you go

There's some street parking, but there is also a parking lot directly behind the restaurant, accessed through the side street. The joint gets pretty busy, but if you can't get a seat, you can still get a slice and hang out at the park next door.

Evel Pie

A pizza joint in Las Vegas pays tribute to Evel Knievel with an impressive array of memorabilia devoted to the legendary daredevil. Las Vegas is an important city in Knievel's journey.

On December 31, 1967, he tried to jump the fountain at Caesars Palace . He cleared it, but fell off his motorcycle on the landing, crushing his pelvis and femur, and fracturing parts of his hip, wrist, and ankles.

While he spent nearly a month in the hospital, the jump and subsequent crash brought Knievel international attention and a decades-long career in death-defying showmanship was born. Knievel would go on to attempt even more audacious jumps, including one over Snake River Canyon, but he'd never attempt the fountain stunt again.

His son, Robbie, however, decided to try his luck. On April 14, 1989, Robbie revved his star-studded bike at the end of the ramp, sped toward the fountain, and launched.

He flew over the water, and landed, still safely on his bike. With such a dramatic history, it's only fitting that Las Vegas now features a restaurant that pays tribute to the famed stuntman.

Evel Pies is filled wall-to-wall with Knievel memorabilia. There's a life-size statue in the corner, a pinball machine (still working), and an Evel Knievel bicycle hanging from the ceiling.

Knievel, who died in 2007, presides over it all in many, many photographs and a painted portrait, where he's clad in his classic red, white, and blue jumpsuit, above the bar. Let your eyes wander over the walls and relive some of your memories of his jumps and crashes.

The man wore a cape! That's a hard fashion accessory to pull off, but he did, and with style.
