| - I'm going to start this by saying that I am originally from New York City. Anyone who knows anything about the legendary rivalry between New York and Chicago when it comes to pizza knows that it goes much, much deeper than that. Pizza sauce runs in my veins. I have been called (and rightfully so), a pizza snob.
Having said that, Pizza Rock has some of the best pizza I've ever had. In my life. It was even better than any pizza I had when I lived in Italy. The fresh ingredients and the special oven(s) make their food taste like heaven. The crust..... I could write long paragraphs about the texture of the crust alone, about the crisp crunch when you first bite into it, followed by the chewy texture, but I won't go on about that.
I will tell you that my favorite pizza is the New York. Ha ha. No, really. It's amazing! At first I thought it was strange that they put little dollops of fresh ricotta cheese on it after it is baked, and I was taken aback. Just a little. But darn if it didn't grow on me, fast. They've ruined me now for all other pizza places.
I have not tried the pastas yet, but I will. Also, I like the place. It is rather large inside, but somehow manages to feel intimate. A good place to gather with friends and family. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food. Beer selection (and I'm not really a beer girl, but I'm learning) is not too shabby either. Really good experiences each time I've been there.
