Nestled on the top level of the BLVD complex on the Las Vegas Strip, directly across from the soon-to-be christened three-story In and Out Burger, sits one of the strip’s newest eateries - How Ya Dough’n Pizza.

What originally began as a pandemic-era home business in a Boca Raton backyard eventually blossomed into a burgeoning family owned and operated business with several locations throughout Florida.

What sets How Ya Dough’n apart from other pizza joints (which Vegas has no shortage of) is their use of sourdough crust. Due to its long fermentation process, the crust results in a near-perfect crisp that’s packed with flavor.

In this How Ya Dough’n pizza Las Vegas review, I’ll provide details as to its location and what my experience was like when my wife and I came here for the first time on our most recent visit to the strip. Let’s get into it!

How Ya Dough’n Pizza Location

As stated above, How Ya Dough’n is located on the top level of the BLVD complex. If you don’t know what that is it’s a new, still in progress 400,000 square foot retail, dining and entertainment center in the heart of the strip.

It’s on the east side of the strip closest to the southern end (though it’s also an easy walk from many mid-strip locations). To contextualize, my wife and I stayed at the Flamingo which is practically the strip’s mid-point and we walked to How Ya Dough’n in about fifteen minutes.

Given the strip’s often disorienting complexity to newcomers, it can be challenging to pin down its location. It can be found between Planet Hollywood and the MGM Grand and across the street from Park MGM, Aria Hotel and Cosmopolitan.

When you arrive to the Adidas store at BLVD, you’ll see a green and black escalator nearby. Take it to the second level. At the top, go left and take the second escalator to the third level. When you get to the top, turn around and you’ll see How Ya Dough’n.

My Experience at How Ya Dough’n Pizza

My wife and I stopped here for dinner on the first day of our visit. We had a reserved time at Flyover and How Ya Dough’n was the perfect choice as it was on the way to Flyover and was a quick walk from our hotel.

I first heard of How Ya Dough’n through Las Vegas influencer, Vegas Starfish, on TikTok (she has fantastic content that’s worth a follow, by the way).

We arrived to an empty yet beautifully lit interior as the sun was setting. There were only two others present, so we practically had the place to ourselves. I didn’t view this as a bad thing, though, as I feel it had more to do with “the secret not yet being out” more-so than a problem.

We were greeted by friendly staff right away and were given a quick explanation of the menu. She also gave recommendations as to the most popular pizzas on the menu, as well as her personal favorites. After a quick debate, we ultimately decided on the Spicy Goose.

The Spicy Goose is topped with a blend of mozzarella, provolone and pecorino cheeses, pepperoni, soppressata, Calabrian chili, garlic and oregano. Of course, their signature sourdough crust contains it all, along with their flavorful, sweet-leaning tomato sauce.

We took a seat in their exterior space while we waited for our pizza. At this time of day, the sun had already settled behind the looming towers of the hotels across the street, providing a much needed reprieve from the Las Vegas sun.

Before long, our pizza was brought out to us. Under most circumstances I’m a straight up pepperoni pizza guy. The Spicy Goose was surely a departure from my usual, but not too much as to “shock the system”, so to speak.

The sourdough crust was the first element to stand out. They’ve perfected that fine balance of crisp edges while remaining slightly chewy, which gives the whole pie a deeper flavor than your standard slice.

The aforementioned toppings blended together to bring a slow-building heat that complimented the flavor rather than overwhelming it. While noticeable, the spice level remained well balanced thanks to the richness of the trio-blend of cheeses.

The cured meats brought a rich, salty bite with just enough grease to re-create that classic New York style slice, while the Calabrian chilies added a sharp, almost fruity heat that slowly builds the longer you chew.

The roasted garlic came through in the background, rounding everything out with a mellow and welcoming sweetness. Add to that the slightly tangy finish the fermented sourdough crust brings and that’s a recipe that kept bringing me back bite after bite.

If you’re a fan of spice, I would recommend ordering the Spicy Goose. Conversely, if you’re not, stay away. In that case, perhaps the “OG”, which is basically a Neapolitan style pizza, is more your speed. Or the “Cremini Special”, which is their veggie-forward offering.

If you find yourself on the Las Vegas Strip, definitely give How Ya Dough’n pizza an opportunity to satisfy your hunger. From here, enjoy a post-meal activity at Flyover Las Vegas just a few minute walk away.

Or, walk south a bit further to the Luxor and tour the “Titanic: The Artifact Expedition” museum. If one or two post-dinner drinks is more what you’re looking for, head north to Cosmopolitan and relax at The Chandelier or catch the vibes at the Ski Lodge speakeasy.
