You have to sign a medical waiver to order this fiery pizza

Updated November 1, 2022 - 10:29 am

Don’t fear The Reaper.

Unless you can’t handle spicy food.

And don’t like signing waivers.

On Halloween, Evel Pie, the downtown Las Vegas pizzeria inspired by daredevil Evel Knievel, debuted The Reaper, a five-alarm conflagration made with habanero chile sauce, mozzarella infused with chilis, sriracha-marinated chorizo and, to add fuel to the fire, a strew of habanero slices.

You must sign a medical waiver before ordering the $49.99 pie, a 20-inch stretch of magma. Folks who finish at least three full slices within 30 minutes receive a Don’t Fear The Reaper T-shirt, social media shout-outs and their names added to The Wall of Legends.

Evel Pie, widely recognized as one of the city’s leading pizzerias, is at 508 E. Fremont St.
