| - I was sooo excited to try this new place at Green Valley Casino. I heard that the restaurant was called Pizza Rock and the quick serve was Tony's Slice House. I wasn't super hungry so I thought we would try the Slice House and save the Pizza Rock for another night.
Sadly, it fell short of my expectations. I am actually glad that I tried the quick serve place before the restaurant because I would have been really ticked if I had to pay triple the money for a whole pizza that was majorly salty at best. I ordered a Sicilian sliced pepperoni, sausage and onion slice. I asked for it to be heated and well done. It was heated, not as well done as I had asked. I would have sent it back to the oven, but I know that is a health code violation so I just dealt with it as I didn't want to waste food. First bite, holy biting into a block of salt. I am not sure if maybe it was because the pizza wasn't hot enough, maybe the amount of meat, cheese and thick crust all together had too much salt cumulatively or if someone dumped salt on the pizza itself. I ate 1/4 of the slice, because I couldn't take the salt anymore. I was drinking water with my meal and that is probably why I was able to eat that much in the first place.
I also ordered the side salad with Gorgonzola cheese and candied walnuts. Great salad, too much dressing dumped in. It would have been better on the side so perhaps I could have gaged the dressing.
The price for these two items came out at $9.95 which is reasonable. They do have some good specials like a slice of pizza and a beer for $8.00. They sell wings, meatballs and garlic bread among other things. So good variety.
The employees were very upbeat, happy and great at suggestive selling. It's just too bad the product they are selling didn't live up to the hype. I am pretty forgiving and will eventually try this place one more time to see if my experience is different. New places need time to work out kinks and modify recipes but it would seem to me that an award winning chef should have this done before the doors open.
I will make sure to update my review if my next visit is different. For now 2.0 -2.5 for this one at best. Sorry guys, when a place makes me wish I should have ordered Fatburger or go to the casino cafe, that says a lot.
To improve, I suggest always asking if the customer wants dressing on the side, when re-heating the pizza, check to see if the pizza looks fresh like it came out of the oven. The cheese on my pizza was not even melted when I got it, this could be a potential food poisoning opportunity if not heated properly. Also, please check out why my pizza was this salty. I have never experienced this before on any pizza I have ever had, even ones loaded with more meats than this one was. Good Luck.
