| - We had newly arrived for my first trip to the city of sin and we decided to hit up Fremont Street on night number two to see what sort of trouble we could get into. After a rocking great time listening to some 80's/90's band, a ton of great drinks and numerous trips into various bars and touristy shops we decided we wanted to try to get some great pizza, preferably New York style. So with the aid of my trusty Yelp! app we determined there was a really good place named Pizza Rock nearby. After a bit of walking we came upon a small place a bit off the beaten path but looked to be fairly busy with people going in and out getting individual slices of pie.
By the time we arrived it was getting a bit later so many of the patrons of this fine establishment, including my wife and I, were a bit inebriated and beyond hungry. Thankfully our wait was not long as the guys slinging pies were on top of things and we got our order in. The pies, like most New York style places, were already cooked and the guys waiting on us were just taking orders, then heating up the slices in the large oven behind them. Both the wife and I went with traditional pepperoni (nothing fancy here) as we wanted to keep it simple and that was what they had the most of.
After about a five minute wait we were presented with some fantastically gorgeous, huge, floppy New York style pieces of pizza that I had seen in a long time. Yes I let the fact go that the pepperonis were not the traditional New York style large, flat pepperonis go because they used the wonderfully small, slightly curled up cupping a tiny amount of grease (don't ever let anyone tell you that good pizza doesn't have grease on it, oh yes it does, just not too much!) on our pizza.
A few bites in and I knew I was going to give this place the highest rating I could because the pizza was freakin' delicious. The cheese was gooey, the crust was nice and crisp on the bottom but had that big, floppy, New York style feel to it, with a slight bit doughy on the top and the crust at the end was fantastic tasting bread that you want to eat every bite of, not the big crust you end up tossing into the trash. The sauce was a little sweet but very tomatoey and as mentioned before, the pepperonis were not only delicious looking but phenomenal tasting as well. Everything about the pizza was top notch and I am getting hungry just writing about it.
Fantastic pizza and probably even more fantastic if you're a little drunk and a little hungry. Don't hesitate to check it out if you're in the area. If I lived in this area I'd be buying this pizza on a regular basis.
One last side note, the guys behind the counter seemed to be having a good time interacting with the crowd and were friendly to us. Great to see someone enjoying their job and it really made the fantastic pizza all that much better.
