Vinny's Little Italy
Boulder City, Nevada
Still open. It kept its doors open after the show. It trades today as Vinny's Pizzeria (Yelp listing name).
The short answer
Active Yelp listing found (as "Vinny's Pizzeria"), 1312 Nevada Hwy, Boulder City NV, 3.5/5 (246 reviews); Facebook 4.5/5 (373 reactions).
What happened on the show
A pizza man stuck firmly in his own past was on the brink of losing everything in Boulder City. Vinny ran Vinny's Little Italy and would not listen to his family or his staff, and the episode frames the rescue around dragging him into the 21st century before the restaurant became a relic. Dragging a set-in-his-ways owner forward was the whole point, and the makeover was built to force it. Because the teaser centers on Vinny's stubbornness, not the plates, what remains is a longtime pizzeria whose survival hinged on its owner finally accepting that the old ways were sinking him, his stubbornness the diagnosis Irvine kept circling back to across two days. A menu frozen in an earlier decade was the surface symptom of a deeper refusal.
After the cameras left
Vinny's is still slinging pizza, apparently under a tweaked name. An active Yelp listing at 1312 Nevada Highway carries the business as Vinny's Pizzeria, with a 3.5 rating across 246 reviews and a 4.5 on Facebook, at the same address and phone as Vinny's Little Italy. Whether that is a formal rebrand or just a listing name is unresolved. We read it open at the latest check, medium confidence, flagged for name reconciliation.
