Pizzeria Monzú Debuts with Italian Street Fare

Pizzeria Monzú

Address: 6020 W. Flamingo Road

Hours: Open from 5 to 10 p.m. daily

Chef Giovanni Mauro’s latest pizza concept is now serving Italian street fare inside the original home of Nora’s Italian Cuisine. One of three sons of restaurateur Nora and father Gino, who made Nora’s such a hit, Mauro took over 4,522-square-foot of the original space after the Italian restaurant moved 900 feet down Flamingo Road into a new purpose-built restaurant last year.

Mauro already operates the casual counter-service Old School Pizzeria in North Las Vegas on Craig Road. At Pizzeria Monzú, he hopes to introduce Las Vegas to what he calls an “authentic pizza experience … sharing recipes cultivated from his proud Sicilian heritage.”
