| - Pizza Rock, in certain circles that I'm a part, was touted as making one of the best pies, if not the best, in town. After having a few cocktails at DCR and Sip'n'Tip on a Thursday night, I finally took the plunge and grabbed a Picante slice ($6) at Pizza Rock's slice counter. Good pizza comes down to its crust and Pizza Rock's crust was great! It had nice crispiness, chewiness, and a little bit of char that served as the perfect medium to top with a perfect amount of pepperoni, linguica, chorizo, banana peppers, green onions, serrano peppers, and ricotta cheese. It had plenty of spice and saltiness that in my mind made for a perfect pizza to go with beer. Alas, I didn't have a beer with it. Next time... As pizza by the slice goes, Pizza Rock's Picante slice (and likely its other offerings, too) was a bigger slice with a better tasting crust and toppings, and an overall better value than Secret Pizza or Five50 Pizza. My Pizza Rock cherry has been popped. Yeah, it lived up to the hype! I will be back.
