What you should know about Evel Pie.
Evel Pie is best known for opening in 2016 under Corner Bar Management, the Las Vegas hospitality company led by Ryan Doherty, creating a pizzeria dedicated to the life and career of motorcycle stunt performer Evel Knievel while expanding the company's growing collection of Downtown dining concepts. The restaurant features one of the city's largest collections of Evel Knievel memorabilia, including vintage photographs, replica motorcycles, original posters, stunt artifacts, and a custom pinball machine, while its menu centers on 24-inch New York-style pizzas, oversized slices, house-made dough, specialty pies, and craft beer. Evel Pie has earned recognition from Food Network, Thrillist, Eater Las Vegas, and regional dining publications for combining quality pizza with an immersive tribute to one of America's most recognizable entertainers, helping reinforce Fremont East's reputation as a center for independently operated restaurants and nightlife. Continued operation under Corner Bar Management, leadership from Ryan Doherty, sustained critical recognition, and a steadfast commitment to authentic New York pizza craftsmanship have established Evel Pie among Downtown's defining casual dining destinations.
Fresh pizza dough, whole-milk mozzarella, San Marzano-style tomato sauce, pepperoni, roasted garlic, fresh basil, grated Parmesan, and olive oil establish a culinary theme rooted in classic New York pizzeria traditions. Specialty pies, oversized slices, garlic knots, crisp salads, local craft beer, house-made desserts, and rotating seasonal creations deepen that foundation through balanced flavors, satisfying textures, and careful preparation. Precise dough fermentation, disciplined stone-deck baking, attentive ingredient sourcing, thoughtful recipe development, and consistent kitchen execution preserve the integrity of every pizza while allowing traditional New York techniques to remain the defining focus throughout the menu. Together Ryan Doherty's vision, Corner Bar Management's leadership, Evel Knievel's enduring legacy, and disciplined execution create a dining identity defined by authenticity, creativity, and enduring neighborhood appeal.
