How Ya Dough’n – Pizza is Worth a Fork! Las Vegas NV

How Ya Dough’n Pizza in Vegas is located on the Las Vegas Strip in a Building on the 3rd Floor called The BLVD. The BLVD is located across the street from Eataly and just a short distance from M&M World. This is a small casual Pizza shop with an inside counter and outdoor patio tables to sit at. The pizza is really different here. They do a 8-12 day fermentation that creates a sourdough taste like no other. The pizzas we tried were thin and crisp with great really different flavors. Besides unique pizzas they offer three appetizers (wings, meatballs, doughboys ((dough balls tossed in parm.&butter with red sauce or vodka sauce for dipping) Soft beverages are offered here. You want to come here on a nice weather day. They have a small counter to sit at inside. Outside are many picnic type tables.

Here are the pizzas that were offered..

We ordered a Pistachio Pizza and the January Special called The Funion. (Mozz.,Havarti, roasted onion, leeks, chives, onion seeds)

While we waited for our order I watched one of the pizza guys throw a pizza crust in the air.

Soon we get pizzas.

Above is the Funion.

Above is the pistachio.

Both were very good but I thought the pistachio was more layered and popped more.

My husband felt different and enjoyed the Funion more.

Both were very good.

Amazing Thai – North Las Vegas NV – Hits and sort of Misses

Amazing Thai is a casual Thai Restaurant that offers most of the Thai dishes that you would expect and also some Vegan alternative dishes.

From my first visit we both enjoyed the eggplant chip appetizer.

Haven’t tried this dish again until recently. The Eggplant Chips look a bit different but are still tasty and very good but they gave us a different sauce that is just sweet instead of the savory spicy sauce that we preferred.

Recently I tried the Caramel Salmon.

It’s sweet caramelized salmon. on a bed of lettuce. It only pops when you add the spicy flavorful sauce on the end of the plate. It comes with a double order of rice.

My husband tried the Spicy Basil with Beef.

The beef was hand chopped that creates more surface space to hold in flavor better (some places just slice the meat or just use ground Meat) Tonight this dish was very soy forward. It should be basil forward.

Some of the dishes we tried on past visits were –

Chicken with Spicy Eggplant – This was the biggest hit. That day the eggplant was absolute perfection in a very tasty sauce.

Drucken Noodles with Beef

We also did some take out.

Spicy Basil Chicken Rice

Salmon Panang – reasonably good.

A little Hit and Miss like most places. Also not the most consistent.

Chubby Cattle Hot Pot – Las Vegas NV – Pretty Tasty – Worth a Try!

The Chubby Cattle Hot Pot Restaurant is located in Las Vegas’s Chinatown. This is a restaurant that specializes in Asian Hot Pots or Hardy Soup Meals. They offer a variety of soup bases. Most soup bases do contain pork but they still offer a long list of things to those who don’t eat pork. You start out by ordering your soup base. You order add ons. The add ons come in small and large sizes. We found that small add ons are plenty for two people. They also have extra add ons that go by your table on a conveyer belt. You also use the condiment bar to embellish your hot pot further.

The tables have soup wells built into them to keep your hot pot hot.

You can see by my picture that we tried a lot of things.

I tried vegan Beautiful Tomato Hot Pot and my husband tried House Original Hot Pot.

See how red the Tomato one is in the bottom left corner looks different after you do the add ons.

I added on tomatoes, spinach noodles, pumpkin, baby corn, some mushrooms, and flounder. I also added just a little bit of condiments. Some garlic, cilantro, mirin, sesame oil. Everything is delicious (except for the flounder) I would not recommend getting the flounder here. I’m glad it didn’t spoil my soup. The fish was still edible but fishy. Somehow my soup stayed pretty darn tasty and I had a bunch left over for the next day.

My husband added on wagyu brisket, ramen noodles, mushrooms, potatoes, and extra numbing, spicy sauce. He enjoyed all of his very much.

Chubby Cattle is Worth a Try! (just don’t get the flounder)

Napoli Pizzeria – North Las Vegas NV – No Sauce on Pizza – too salty – not the best :(

Napoli Pizzeria has 4 location in Vegas. But for some odd reason the North Las Vegas Location is not listed on the Napoli Website and might only share the name and same sign. On Yelp this restaurant is listed as Napolis Pizza……?…..Maybe they just use the Napoli Sign and same cash register because Napoli is what I see on my receipt. Anyways…..They are an average Pizzeria that offers the usual pizzas, wings, pastas, sandwiches, and more.

We tried a plain pizza.

There’s a good amount of cheese and the crust is ok….but the top is salted….and is really too salty for me.

But-

It’s like the sauce is missing. No herbs, no flavors (but salt), almost no sauce.

Not the best 🙁

Dining Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV – January 2026

Dining out with dogs is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When he came down with aggressive cancer we were told that poor old Louie probably only had three months or at the most 6 months to live. Since Louie always enjoyed going out to eat I took him out to eat as often as possible and Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.

We had an unusually warm winter day and the dogs got to eat at our local Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. I got a rice bowl salad and my husband got a gyro plate with a shrimp skewer. The dogs got to eat shrimp, gyro meat, chicken, and cucumbers with feta cheese.

They LOVE going to the Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.

The next week it got cold so we did a quick trip to In-N-Out Burger. We fed them on the patio.

Of course they enjoyed the cheeseburger!

The next week it was cold so they got a car ride to Arby’s and got some roast beef.

They enjoyed the Arby’s Roast Beef.

The next week it warmed up so the dogs got to go to Habanero’s Taco Grill. They happen to have just one patio table.

The dogs got to eat some pork from my husband’s green chili pork bowl and some chicken from my taco salad. It was suppose to be grilled chicken but they gave us fried chicken with breading. We ate it anyway.

The dogs enjoyed their first trip to Habanero’s Taco Grill.

Cin Cin Brewery – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Cin Cin Brewery is a small brewery, bar, and sushi sort of restaurant located in the arts district of downtown Las Vegas NV. Inside you can sit at the bar, a community table or a half booth. I heard very good things about this restaurant so I wanted to give it a try.

They had a special on small oysters for $1.00 each so my husband ate 6 of them.

We also shared an order shishito peppers. They were embellished with bonito flakes, soy sauce, something citrus, and tasty small tomatoes.

We also shared a spicy tuna roll.

It’s different. I get almost too much heat from the jalapeños (? maybe they are Serranos?). Soy paper I don’t usually get. It’s different but good.

Cin Cin Brewery is worth a try!

La Mojarra Loca – Good Authentic-Style Mexican Restaurant – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork!

La Mojarra Loca is an Authentic Style Mexican Restaurant with a seafood heavy menu. They have four locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North Rancho Drive location is large with plenty of parking spots.

Whatever you order they start you off with chips, spicy salsa, and bean dip.

Last time we tried the Filet Al Mojo De Ajo (mild whitefish in citrus, garlic, butter)

And the Molocajete Triol – Shrimp, Chicken, Beef, Cactus, Avocado, Jalapeño, with spices and sauces, rice, beans, and tortillas.

All was good also portions were enormous and prices were reasonable.

This time we tried –

Filete Zarandeado -Marinated and Grilled mild white fish with achiote sauce. The plate come garnished with salad, rice, and beans.

Steak Ranchero – Seared steak in smokey tomato chipotle garlic and jalapeño sauce with rice, beans, and tortillas.

I am pleased to say that everything was at least GOOD. Portions were very large and pricing was reasonable. I do note that most dishes do run spicy. Some of the wait staff is hard to understand. Also bring your readers if you have them because the menu is hard to read.

The Lakes Lounge 24/7 Food, Gaming, Bar, Reasonably good Food, LOW Prices but no Lake View – Las Vegas NV

I got fooled by a certain review site on this one. I was expecting Lake Views at a place called The Lakes Lounge in the Summerlin part of Vegas (that is why I picked this place). But I had GOOD REASON to expect Lake Views. Many Lake Views were pictured for me to look at on a certain review site, And this was done by not one, two, three, or four but by a bunch of different people. The Lake is nearby but on the other end of this strip mall.

Anyways-

It’s just a 24/7 Food, Gambling, and Bar, type of place. (Gosh we have millions of these places here) Here the bar and gaming is on the other half of the restaurant and the dining area is separate.

We looked at the menus (also a breakfast menu is offered) and noticed that prices are very low.

My husband goes with the Shepard’s Pie Special that comes with either a side salad or soup. He picks the soup that is Cream of Chicken today.

He said that it is reasonably good.

I tried the Beer Battered Fish Tacos.

WOW! It’s an enormous plate of food. The tacos you can clearly see are non-traditional. But the fish batter is tasty and their salsa is very flavorful.

The Shepard’s Pie is mostly potatoes but also is reasonably good.

The food we tried was reasonably good. Large portions and LOW prices.
