Cousins Pizza celebrates grand opening with free pizzas

Updated May 4, 2020 - 7:29 pm

A New York-style pizza place is celebrating its grand opening by delivering free pizzas to front-line health care workers and its neighbors.

Cousins New York Pizza & Pasta quietly opened its doors over the weekend at 9773 W. Flamingo Road, near Grand Canyon Drive. Longtime Las Vegans Jared Weiss and Mitchell Kane, who grew up in New York, describe it as the realization of “a childhood dream.” (Weiss even has a picture of the pizzeria he drew as a kid.) So to celebrate their dream coming true, they’ll handing out 1,000 free pizzas — half to hospital workers and the other half to their neighbors.

While the hospital workers will get their deliveries later this week, you can claim one right now. Those who live within a 3-mile radius can have it delivered. The rest of you will have to pick it up. You just need to call the store at 702-333-0086 and tell them you want the free large grand-opening pizza.

Cousins’ menu also includes appetizers, salads, calzones, sandwiches and appetizers, and Cousins is offering curbside pickup and contactless delivery service. You can find the full menu, and place an order, at cousinsnypizzaandpasta.com.
