| - After living in NYC for 15 years, then living in LA's pizza-wasteland for 8 years, I was fairly hurtin' for some good pizza again by the time I moved to Las Vegas. On my first venture, I luckily tried Rocco's and it immediately brought back memories of an excellent slice of New York pizza; the kind you can get on every other block in NY, and is barely anywhere to be had in Los Angeles.
Large, cheesy slices that are best eaten folded; the sauce is nicely seasoned and not too sweet; and most importantly, the crust is just the right thickness with an excellent bite.
The shop is not fancy at all, but has a decent seating area in the back. Walking in, the store feels pretty much like a typical NY pizza joint, which I love. I haven't tried anything other than their pizza but I will eventually. I'm looking forward to checking out Grimaldi's at Boca Park for more of a nice, sit-down pizza dinner, but Rocco's is definitely my pizza joint.
