Rocco’s NY Pizzeria

Thin crust and a tasty tomato sauce are the key elements to a great NY pizza joint. I have to say I was really impressed with this place having tried their regular sausage slice and white pizza slice. My only complaint, if any, was that the pizza was a bit greasy but otherwise I really enjoyed the flavors. Of course, you can’t go wrong with pictures of NYC and those distant mafia relatives in the dining area.

So we made it to Vegas and needed to find food as the kids were hungry. It was a long trek as traffic was bad, but always fun to be in Vegas! We are staying at Red Rock and so I Unilocaled pizza joints and found this place nearby. Simple place with a good variety on their menu — we ordered a large with mushrooms, sausage and pepperoni. We also ordered a side of meatballs. They were getting ready to close so people were sweeping up and we were one of the last two groups/​customers for the day. Anyhow, when the food came I was disappointed to see so few toppings on the pizza pie. The crust was ok but all the toppings slid off the pizza — we even waited ten minutes before eating to let the cheese cool a little and settle onto the pie. The meatballs were ok and so was the marinara sauce — nothing special but not bad. One complaint is that the paper plates they use are so flimsy and the grease just seeps right through the bottom leaving the whole table greasy. Overall just an okay place — wish it could have been better. More a 2.5 star place.

This is one of the best New York style pizza I ever had and the guys are very nice. I definitely will come back to this place.

Awful. Keep driving by. Not worth the headache. The cash register guy is super rude and acts put out if you ask anything about the items/​menu. The food is not good and they are insulted if you tell them your order or item is not right. To make it worse, they call Rocco and he can’t understand the fact that the staff could have possibly fuck ed up an order.

So to start I had the absolute highest hopes for this place and couldn’t wait to try it.
Called in an order, guy on the phone said it’ll be ready in 20ish minutes. I got there at 22minutes. There was a line LITERALLY out the door. I was like oh shit this is the place to be woohoo!
So I asked the guy in front of me if there was a specific place for pick up and he said no. All one line.
So 25mins after arriving (47 mins after ordering) and no welcome or apology for the wait I got to the front paid for myfood which was sitting on top of the oven. Get it home and it’s cold. But not the good kind of cold. And the knots were SOOOOO greasy.
If this is what NY pizza is, count me out!!!

I went to this location last week and ordered Manhattan Toasted Roast Beef Sandwiches. First of all, they used some white tissue paper to wrap the sandwiches which stuck to the beef and cheese and I couldn’t peel it off. Second the beef was way too thick, chewy, and dried up. The roll was like a shoe; just about as tough as jerky. Terrible sandwich. Not to mention the guy running the cash register was rude as hell. Stay away!

Perfect New York style pizza.
You can buy it by the slice or the whole pie.
Crust is crisp with just the right amount of softness. The cheese and sauce are light.
Employees are always friendly and working hard behind the counter. They always have a basket of fresh zeppoles next to the register. You can’t help but pop a few in your mouth while you wait.

I’m born and raised in NYC and spent most of my career in the Bronx. This is the real deal in Vegas. I met the owner and he was born and raised in the Bronx. Don’t waste your time in Vegas going to any pizza parlor here except for Rocco’s or NY Pizza on Sahara and Jones which is owned by a Queens guy

La mejor pizza de las vegas para comprobarlo tienes que ir no es un cuento ok good byeeee

Good East Coast Style Pizza. They cook the crust till golden brown. The sauce is good and not overpowering. For a change, order Eggplant as a topping. They fry it first before it goes on the pizza. Adds a nice flavor to a veggie pie. While not cheap, the pie is a good value.

As someone who’s been to NY and enjoyed the pizza there, this is rather delicious! Fast and fresh with just the right amount of toppings. The slices are pretty large!
I would suggest lids and straws for the drinks :)
*This is the better of the locations.

Just ordered from here. Probably like my 10^th time ordering from this location and my pizza is always made to perfection. Thin & slightly crispy crust, just the right amount of cheese and sauce. A true New York Style Pizza! Love it so much and brings me back so many memories from back home in NY. So happy that I found Rocco’s out here in Vegas! Would def recommend this pizza spot

Don’t bother. I don’t know what it is about this location that made it such a bad experience. Maybe it was the sewer smell walking in or the fact that the Stromboli I ordered tasted like a trash can do I threw ⁷⁄₈ of it away and took a walk. Either way I’ll stick with the Roccos on rainbow by my house. Thus charleston outfit needs to get their act together.

Service was the worst I’ve experienced. I ordered 2 slices and a soda and was told that my slices would be brought to my table. I got my soda and waited. I waited 15 minutes and then I noticed a family who came after me got their pizza slices before me. I went to the staff and asked what was going on. They acted confused. I showed them my receipt. They got my 2 slices within a minute, but they did not apologize for the delay. I took my slices and left. I called the complaint line, left a voice message. One of the staff left a voice message. I returned the call, but did not get a call back.
This type of treatment is unexcusable especially since at the time that I ordered and received my pizza slices, it was not busy and there were staff just hanging around. Although I understand that staff can make mistakes, the fact that they did not apologize but instead said «So I guess you want your order to go,» was just unacceptable behavior. I grew up in the east coast area, and if this had occurred at a pizza joint there, I would have asked for a refund. Since I was already late and hungry, I opted to get the slices instead of asking for a refund. Although the slices are NY style, the service is slow like the midwest and unapologetic like Beverly Hills.

Really great NY pizza with an atmosphere to match. Free samples of the powdered sugar dough bites were a nice bonus too!
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in the Summerlin area to stop by for lunch.

Great pizza. HUGE slices! Very much enjoyed Rocco’s pizza. Noticed several «regulars» during my visit — also a good sign. Simple food, very tasty — — I actually wanted to take some back to LA with me, but didn’t think my car would survive the «Fresh Pizza Smell» of a 6 hour drive. I did take home a blister pack of yummy Joey’s Italian Style Cookies — which seem to only be available in New Jersey (unless you’re special like Rocco)…this is a place I can whole heartedly recommend. The pizza itself is gooey and cheesy. The pepperoni slice was appropriately oily… this is not the type of place an LA model would enjoy, but if you are a normal, pizza-​loving patron, give this spot a shot!

Really excellent NY Pizza. It’s great because it’s family owned and operated and we like supporting our local spots. This is a small location and can probably only seat a maximum of 10 – 12 people. Thin crust, light sauce, fresh ingredients. $ 20 for a large pizza. It feeds about three people. It might be on the pricier side but the quality is worth it.

I decided to try this place out, because I saw so many photos of pizza by the slice, which was exactly what I wanted.
I came here last Saturday night on a whim and ordered 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of everything, 1 garlic knot and 1 double stuffed all meat pizza and I about fell over from all the tastiness!
You might be wondering if I ate all that myself and the answer is of course not! I ended up splitting it with my hubby.
Now let me tell you how pizzawesome this pizza was!!! As soon as I sank my teeth into this light thin crusted saucy cheesy pizza I was instantaneously transported to my childhood when I remember eating pizza just like this. Wow!!! I was transported by pizza!
What a miracle to find a place that actually makes pizza the way it’s suppose to be made. Freaking frack! Everything about this pizza oozes perfection! Kid you not!
The taste of the crust is flaky, crispy yet tender. The amount of sauce is not overwhelming nor too little, also the amount of cheese is also perfect, smooth in texture and amazingly great taste.
Some of you might think, but this is just pizza! No big deal. What’s the difference? Well let me tell you that all pizzas are not created equal and I believe I have found the perfect pizza place in Las Vegas.
I’ve eaten at so many pizza joints around town and even in CA and I have to say that I have yet to find a pizza that can match Rocco’s NY Pizza.
I swear I’ve found pizza heaven and I highly highly highly recommend this pizza joint. I promise you won’t regret it. I seriously can’t wait to sink my teeth into another pizza!
2 thumbs way up for Rocco’s NY Pizzeria!!!

Their pizza may be great, and the service here is better than their Rainbow location, but their wings suck.
Good price for 10 wings at $ 8, available in medium or hot. Except they’re dry– both in terms of the sauce, and the meat itself. Also a downside: they only offer packets of ranch for dipping. Unable to tell if wings were made fresh, just know that I was disappointed with the quality of what I received.
Pizza slices are fine here, and their rice balls are a treat. Small tables for dining outside, inside dining available further back in the building. Steer clear of the non-​pizza options and you’re good.

Rocco’s sure looks like a NYC pizza joint. Partial brick façade, pictures of old-​time Italian New Yorkers strewn on walls, abrupt but not necessarily rude employees, and display plates of each dish laid out behind the plexi-​glass counter, all work out to a great facsimile of what you find in the City. Huge plus for me, even the New York-​style service. I’ve spent many a months in the city that never sleeps and have eaten my share of New York style pizza, which is one of my favorite dish of all time. I’d have to say that pizza here is basically the same as what you will get in a «typical» pizza joint on any street corner in the City. And that’s a good thing.
I ordered a slice of pepperoni and a slice of pepperoni/​sausage, with a fountain drink. $ 9.50 for that, which is NOT like NYC. You can get that for $ 2 – 3 cheaper out there, so it’s not necessarily a great bargain. First bite into the pepperoni and the bottom is a bit crunchier than I’d like. The end crust is a bit crispier than I’d like also. Pep/​Sausage is better on both fronts, but I like the taste of the pep better. The sauce is typical, not great but not bad either. It comes piping hot after they reheat in the pizza oven, so be careful you don’t burn your mouth. I did. They also have stromboli and calzone, both of which I’d like to try one day.
Like I said, it’s really not any different than the typical street corner pizza joint with solid pies, awesome setting, and take-​it-​or-​leave-​it service. So does that deserve a 4 or 5-​star rating? Well, the level of pizza is probably a 3.5 based on a 4-​star for the actual typical NYC pie, and obviously service is somewhere around 3. But with the authentic setting and the fact that this «real» NYC shop is a mile from my house, I’m upping it to a 4 even with the inflated pricing. But seriously, $ 3.50 is too much for a slice, Rocco.
Table-​for-​1 Pizza: One big reason I frequented Manhattan pizza joints often is the fact that you could eat there alone, unnoticed (not a loner, was there for work often). No different here, so it’s a perfect spot.

I think this place has the best thin crust pizza in town. We’ve been here several times and their pizza never disappoints, the guys who work inside have always been good and friendly, and the value you get for your money is well worth giving this place a try (slices are pretty huge).
Not much else that needs to be said since the pizza here speaks for itself. I was just at Rocco’s for lunch today and already want to go back just thinking about it.
