| - I have a hard time finding good pizza in Vegas and so far I have only found 2 places I love everything about their pizza at and this on my Top 2.
CALAMARI FRITTI* 13
Traditional or Calabrese Style with
Calabrese Aioli and Marinara Dipping Sauces
Great dipping sauces and good calamari. Pricey for an appetizer.
BEER BATTERED
FRIED ARTICHOKES 8.5
With Calabrese Aioli
Hmm wish it had more than 2 pieces, this was delicious!
NEW YORKER 23
Winner, Best Traditional in the World, Vegas
Sliced Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Sliced House Link Sausage,
Garlic, Pepperoni, Ricotta
The ricotta was not how I usually see ricotta on a pizza. This was whipped and light and I can't say I was a huge fan of it, but as you can see I still give the place 4 stars. If the ricotta was not whipped and so soft, I would have liked it thicker if that makes sense. It would have been absolute perfection of a pizza!
The pepperoni was top notch, and this is coming from someone who hates pepperoni. I never get pepperoni on pizza. It was small, crispy, and tasty. Although a bit greasy, nowhere near what I think of when I think of pepperoni. I am just glad I tried what real pepperoni should be and now I can't say I hate pepperoni. Sausage, I would never ever choose sausage on a pizza but I was with my friend and hubby and majority rules. Well, this sausage was really good. I rarely ever say that about sausage or any meat on my pizza. The combinations of flavors on this pizza was perfect. The toppings were spread out perfectly getting a bite of almost everything in each bite. The dough was perfect and cooked to perfection, also tasted good and I ate the crust. This pizza dough was exactly the pizza I like.
The service was very good for being as crowded as they were. I was actually surprised by the good service we got with that many people in the restaurant. Our waiter was so friendly and came around just the right amount of times. I did not need to hunt him down for more water, and he did not come often enough that it was annoying.
I was expecting rock music since they are called Pizza Rock, but I did not hear rock music. I heard music that reminded me of skating at the skating rink in junior high. I enjoyed it, but it was really really really loud. I could not hear my friend who was sitting right in front of me.
One of their downfalls for me is their location. It works for them though and I am sure brings the great business. I am just being selfish and prefer to go to restaurants not on the strip or not in downtown. The wait was a one hour wait (I hate waiting for food) and they were extremely packed! I saw bachelorette parties, wedding parties, large parties, and all kinds of interesting people (people who looked dressed up for a marathon, literally ran the marathon then came in for pizza? love that). It was a tourist crowd for sure. Parking is a bit of pain coming from someone who got spoiled by Vegas' easy parking. But, it won't stop me from coming, it just is more of a "hassle" being in downtown area near Fremont. I wish they would open one in downtown Summerlin *hint hint*.
All of their pizzas look amazing and I can't wait to try the prosciutto and pear, clam and garlic (brings back childhood memories of clam pizza on Venice beach-I have not had clam pizza since and would love to try theirs), cal italia, and more.
-1 star only because music was too loud, waits are long, ricotta was weird to me, and a bit pricey. It won't stop me from coming back because I really enjoyed the majority of everything in this restaurant, specifically the pizza.
I did get a yelp check in offer and was very happy about that!!
