Pizza Rock is a pizzeria at 201 N 3rd St in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, near the Fremont Street Experience. It was created by Tony Gemignani, a multiple-time World Pizza Champion, and brings several regional pizza styles into one rock-and-roll themed dining room. The restaurant has a large footprint, with multiple seating areas and a bar, and works well for groups.
Several pizza styles are offered. The Cal Italia, topped with Asiago, mozzarella, gorgonzola, fig preserve and prosciutto, is among the best-known signature pies. A Neapolitan-style Margherita is prepared in limited daily quantities, since the dough is made in small batches and sells out. Sicilian-style square pizza and meatballs are also regular orders. Prices of roughly $20-35 per person make it a moderate-cost meal, and a pizza is enough for two or three diners.
The atmosphere is loud and energetic, with music-driven decor, memorabilia and a busy bar. The noise level is high at night, and the dress is casual. The venue is suited to families earlier in the day and to groups later, when the bar draws a larger crowd. Drinks include cocktails, draft beer and a modest wine list, and the late-night hours on weekends make it a reasonable stop after exploring Fremont Street.
Walk-ins are the norm, and large groups can reserve online. Waits can build at weekend dinner times, so visiting early, around opening or between lunch and dinner, avoids queues. Visitors who want the Neapolitan Margherita should ask early in the evening, as the limited dough supply can run out. The location is a few minutes on foot from Fremont Street and the Downtown casinos, and parking garages are located nearby.
