In a city known for its 24-hour casinos and bustling nightlife, one woman-owned pizza restaurant is serving late-night cravings with quality that keeps locals coming back. 🍕
Pizzava is the passion project of owner Shannon Tadeo, who has built a locally owned and operated pizza restaurant crafted for the pizza lover across three Northern Nevada locations.
Since launching seven years ago, this community-driven establishment has expanded from its original Reno location to Sparks and Carson City, proving that quality ingredients and genuine service resonate with customers.
The Sparks location opened in May 2024 at McCarran Plaza, bringing the same commitment to excellence that made the original location a neighborhood favorite.
How Pizzava won Sparks’ hearts
Pizzava captured Sparks’ attention by combining reasonable prices with surprisingly good quality that defies typical late-night pizza expectations. 💜
Shannon Tadeo’s vision of a locally owned restaurant where passion shows in both quality and service created an authentic connection with the community that chain pizza joints simply can’t replicate.
The late-night delivery service became a lifesaver for night shift workers, students cramming for exams, and anyone craving quality pizza after midnight when options dwindle.
Customers consistently praise the unbelievably good prices for such good quality pizza, making it accessible to everyone from families on a budget to casino workers grabbing dinner after their shifts.
The great selection of pizzas, calzones, chicken wings, and more ensures there’s something for every palate and preference, from traditional favorites to creative specialty combinations.
Their commitment to excellence shows in small details—food arrives taped closed, including the ranch, ensuring nothing spills during delivery, and everything arrives as fresh as possible. 🎯
As a community-driven establishment, Pizzava has become more than just a pizza place—it’s a gathering spot where locals feel welcomed and valued.
