Sunset Pizzeria Downtown

21 and over: Yay! Let’s face it, this is a bar that serves pizza, Not a place to take the little darlings after a game.
Should say 21−40ish: Let’s reiterate, it is a bar that serves food. It is not a pizzeria that has inexpensive deals for budget conscious older families or seniors.
Actually, the prices are a tad bit high but not outrageous.
Food: Again, it is a bar that serves pizza. The food is not fabulous but it isn’t bad either. The pizza is a no frills, serviceable pizza, but that is about it. We’ve ordered here twice. On a takeout order, we stopped on the way to the car to make sure there was a pizza in the box because the box was so light. Had entrees at one of the other locations and they were okay. (Much better Italian meals at Emerald Island on Monday nights!).
Staff: Really, really nice people.
Vibe: Relaxed and certainly not snooty. Felt like it secretly wants to be a little bit of a bad ass bar but is too well brought up to go there. At the same time, it felt like they were going for kind of upscale-​ish but fell short on that mark.
We’d go back for drinks but probably not just for the food. It fills a need on Water Street for a place to just sit and drink. Has the added benefits of not being a really smokey casino and not being a casino eatery that allows kids. For the pizzeria experience go to their other location near Boulder Hwy.

I’ve gotta say, «love it». My girlfriend and I were looking for a place close to home to enjoy a good pizza and cocktails. We found it. We’ve tried several different items on the menu and have enjoyed the freshness of them all but the salad is so fresh that we will go just for it. Bummer about the 21 and up but too bad. There’s up-​chuck e cheese for that. This is a big kid’s hang out and super chill. I totally get that that this isn’t the hut or demono’s pizza and thank god for that. This is an old school sit down, wind down and enjoy the moment pizzaria. Good food, good atmosphere, good drinks, good times…

Ordered pizza here today for a lunch meeting — 14″ veg w/​cheese on half, extra sauce, well done. Twenty minutes later go to pick up and it has extra cheese. Send back and hear the cook complain about how stressed he is. Fifteen minutes later get a pizza with no cheese on half (yay!), but hardly any sauce, barely done crust, with raw onions and garlic.
This is the second time I’ve tried this place for lunch and they are 0 for 2. I am so done. There are way too many other restaurants that can get orders right in a timely manner.
On the up side, the bartender and waitress were very helpful.

The food is a bit pricey for what it is. I have to say, I did NOT enjoy their pizza at all! BARELY any sauce, unusually lacking in cheese… so much so that you could see bare dough all over… Nice atmosphere & fun karaōke, but for a pizza place to make lousy pizza is a shame! We told our waiter about our dislike of the pizza, and all he did was say «sorry». We got 2 slices, each was $ 3.00. NO discount off the bill for not eating ½ of the awful, cardboard box tasting pizza.
Service was slow and we found ourselves looking for our waiter a few times in the 2 hours we were there at Karaōke

Our dinner was off to a shaky start when I saw the pesto pasta I had chosen from the online menu isn’t available at this location. I ended up with lasagna which was pretty good — nice authentic flavor, had that homemade taste. The salad it comes with isn’t exciting — iceberg with a bit of red onion slices, couple tomatoes, sparse cucumbers and a handful of olives. My boyfriend ordered hot wings and fries and said on a spicy scale of 1 – 10, they’re a 1. When the server (who turned out to be an owner) asked, he said they were just ok and not very hot. She voluntarily took the wings off our tab! Totally unnecessary but very gracious. My dinner, the zucchini appetizer, the ambience and customer service was good enough to warrant a return visit.

Wow! This place steals money from their customers! Be sure to check your bill carefully to find their ’rounding’ charge (rounded up in their favor)! Seriously… I paid with a credit card, so they weren’t making change! Stealing is stealing!!!’ This is unfortunate, because my pizza tasted really good!

The food here is great! Best part they don’t allow children in here. I hate hearing screaming kids, like I am at a chucky cheese free for all When I am gambling. Me and my buds come here to eat and play the machines. Great job keeping those little bastards out!

I really liked the atmosphere here. Finally a pizza place that’s NOT crawling with kids! The pizza was just right and they have a great selection of craft brew. I usually get beer but for some reason I was feeling winey and I just had the house pino. Not bad for a house wine. The waitress was a little busy and I could tell she was overwhelmed so I forgave her for being a little inattentive. She was nice when it calmed down, and I’ve been there.

Good food, and usaly good service.. No fun or love with the tall dark haired bartender. ymmv. other than this one instance, great place.

We ordered take out tonight at 7:19 and received our order at 7:55. My fiancé ordered the 9.99 take out special and a gyro from the bartender. While he waited, he was asked several times if he would like a drink by the same bartender, but no one ever checked on the food. When we got it home, 2 streets away, the food was cold and the cheese was chewy.
I called the manager to let him know about the situation because you can’t fix what you don’t know is broken and we didn’t want anyone else to have this experience. Needless to say, that didn’t go so well. The manager was too busy questioning the validity of what I said and assuming no one knew why my fiancé was there for over a half an hour, including the bartender that took his order, to show any concern. Even though we were EXTREMELY excited about their arrival and the owner is very nice, we won’t be returning.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t try their food, but if you don’t get treated with courtesy and respect, know that it isn’t an isolated incident.

Hopefully the service is better and the people are not as rude has they are in there Henderson location next to the theatre., we won’t go after so many rude people there

Family owned and the Best pizza and Italian food in Henderson. It’s great to go a place that they remember you and you get a warm greeting.
Don’t get me started on the Grinders. AWESOME.
Pizza is KILLER.
GREAT to have a bar that serves food and NO KIDS.
They have a AWESOME location on boulder I take the kids too but nice to have a Grown up escape that you can enjoy a handcrafted cocktail and delicious food and be treated like a member of their family. If you haven’t been you must. ADULTS ONLY. But so glad water st has more going on now.

So annoyed that this restaurant doesn’t allow anyone under 21 inside even though the bar and gambling are not at every table.
There aren’t enough restaurants in downtown Henderson that are worth goin to as its is … I guess I won’t be finding out how this one is since my children aren’t welcome. Instead I’ll take my business elsewhere.
You can eat at a restaurant with children that’s located in a casino so I’m not understanding the difference here.
Extremely disappointed

Great to see downtown Henderson getting some new blood. Gyro and strombolis were great. Gaming coming soon…

Well were do I start. We walked in and looked at the sign for the specials and I commented about happy hour and the waitress frowned at me. As we sat down we asked if budlight was on tap. The waitress said no only in bottle so mu husband asked what was on tap and she said she didnt know. I asked whatbthe house wine was and she said she doesnt work at the bar so she. sisnt know.
We ordered our drinks and she brought them to us, we werent ready as thia was our first time there. We said we needed a couple more minutes, so she asked us if we were going to just drink and not eat???
Then we figured out what we wanted and she didnt understand me when I asked if I could order the small 1 topping pizza and add extra topping. She then left and had to come back two more times to ask what type of toppings. Sausage and mushroom. How hard is that? She kept asking if we wanted pepperoni?
Dont get the ketchup cause it looks like bbq sauce, definitely not Heinz.
Well we finally got our medium wings and fries. If you like hot you better order extra hot. No spice for the medium.
10 mins later came back to ask if we ordered pepperoni or sausage pizza. Needless to say she hadnt had the pizza made yet. We got out pizza and guess what kind? Pepperoni and mushroom… she then let us know if we needed anything else because she was going to sit down and eat. My husband didnt eben get a refill of his coke.
15 min later she came back and started clearing our table and dhe sure made sure she snatched up her tip because she said that she was leaving and made sure we knew that. And I didnt want to give a tip but husband left one. I would of picked it back up off table when he left but she had already snatched it up. lol Oh n the pizza wasnt that great. Hardly any sauce on it.
NEVER AGAIN
Waitress needs to work on knowing her job.

The center of the Water Street District in downtown Henderson is alive again! The owners of Sunset Pizzeria just opened Sunset Downtown!
This place has a totally different vibe than their other restaurants. For one thing it’s 21 AND OVER ONLY.
Smoking is allowed. Good for smokers… not so good for those who don’t like it. so just heads up.
Full bar service and gaming coming soon. Mike, the owner was telling us they are installing video poker machines.
Location: Water Street across from the Henderson Convention and Events Center. So there’s street parking or you can park at the lot across the way.
The menu is slightly different from their pizzerias. They serve burgers, gyros, Philly Steaks, Italian Grinders, pasta dishes, strombolis here. And of course their same great pizza and chicken wings!
Prices are slightly higher I believe. There’s no family meal deals or those coupon ones they have going at their other places. I did see they have dedicated everyday lunch specials listed and pick-​up deal for large cheese pizza $ 9.99 listed on the front cover of their menu.
Did I mention there’s no kiddos here? This place caters to an older crowd with smoking drinking and gaming, so dont bother bringing your family here. Or don’t be butt hurt if they won’t let you in if you are under 21. Just drive (or have your parents drive) 5 more minutes to their location on Boulder Hwy.
The set up is pretty hip. Definitely an 80’s rock vibe. ZZtop was playin. Dining area setup with booths along the windows that wrap Water St and Atlantic. Tables for 4 in the middle and seating at the bar. Can’t speak about the bar since I dont really drink much.
The staff was friendly. Service was good. Seat yourself. The menus are already on the table. Our server took our drink order and came back to take our dinner order. Pizza for Mr. B and Eggplant Parmesan for me. The pasta dinners come with a side salad and garlic bread. My pasta dinner was a huge portion. Very cheesey, but I felt so much pasta drowned out my eggplant. Still good stuff!
We enjoyed our meal. It was nice not to have to dodge around kids, not that it’s turnoff or anything but a nice change. I already have local neighborhood friends who want to make this a destination for after work meetup/​hangout. It’s going to be the locals downtown hotspot!

This place is awesome, good beer, good food, awesome service… what’s not to like? And pizza port IPA on tap ANDDD HOT FRIES WITH CHEESE AND BACON! Yum!

This place just opened up and I’ve already found a new spot. This place is absolutely amazing! The sunset pizza is mouth watering and it definitely made me feel like a ninja turtle, if you catch my drift. The pitcher for miller lite is 8 bucks and on happy hour from 4pm to 7pm is 6 bucks well damn I’m definitely happy. The people are super friendly and great sense of humor and the owner is very humble and nice. You really can’t go wrong or complain about this place! I recommend it I don’t care how far I am.

Great food. Philly cheesesteak was excellent. Full bar and friendly staff. Over 21 only due to bar and smoking allowed. Gaming coming soon.
