Henderson now has a serene new pizza joint at the hands of Mark DiMartino, the creator of Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery that started in Vegas, left and now plans to return to the Linq next year. Pizza Buddha offers up a "cozy izakaya with an East-meets-West twist, there are all sorts of warm and wonderful touches to be discovered upon first and repeat visits."

The fare here puts a spin on the brick oven pizza with dishes such as Buddha Belly Sliders, Open Sesame Chicken Salad and PB Egg Rolls along with shaved ice making the menu. The specialty pizzas include the Mama Krakatoa with crumbled egg, roasted onion and red chili flakes; the Papa Krakatoa with pancetta, roasted pineapple and red jalapeño; My Sitar Gently Weeps with crispy eggplant and roasted onions; and the Ho-Tai dished out with artichoke hearts, sautéed spinach garlic, olive oil and cherry tomato.

The restaurant boasts a Wish Keeper vessel where guests can write down their good karma wishes.
