Support a Local Veteran’s Pizza Dream – Help Anthony Go Legit!

Meet Anthony — a proud Las Vegas local, military veteran, and former hospitality worker at The LINQ. Like so many others in our industry, he was recently laid off due to the ongoing wave of job cuts on the Strip. But instead of giving up, Anthony rolled up his sleeves and turned his passion into a side hustle: making incredible pizzas right from his backyard.

What started as a fun way to feed close friends and neighbors quickly grew into something bigger. His pizzas? Absolute fire. The flavor, the crust, the whole backyard vibe — people couldn’t get enough. Thanks to a viral video, Anthony’s little pizza spot exploded in popularity practically overnight. But with the sudden attention came unexpected consequences.

The health department stepped in, and he’s now been forced to shut down.

Anthony’s dream has never been about staying underground. His vision was always to do this the right way — to build a legit business, get a food truck, or even transform his backyard into a fully licensed local hangout spot. He’s already built a loyal fan base, and now he just needs a little help getting to that next step.

We’re raising funds to help Anthony cover the legal permits, inspections, equipment, and startup costs to make his pizza business official. This is more than just about food — it’s about giving a good man, a veteran, and a laid-off worker a chance to thrive doing what he loves.

If you’ve ever had one of his pizzas, you know. If you haven’t yet — trust us, it’s worth supporting.

Let’s help Anthony turn this setback into a comeback. Every donation counts, and every share helps.

Thank you for supporting local, supporting veterans, and supporting dreams.
