Pizza Rock gives me the impression that a bar has acquired a massive space and scaled itself appropriately. TVs everywhere. Dark and noisy ambiance. A menu full of bar food. First, what I liked. Two things synonymous with bars. - Spacious. - Lots of TVs if you're into what they've got on. So, I can appreciate the changes downtown. It is now becoming a place that people won't mind being in when the sun sets. Pizza Rock is a nice looking place and helps that sort of "Downtown Project" effort. What it doesn't help, like Le Thai, is elevating their own form of food. If anyone asks me, I'll say "it's a huge bar that has huge pizzas." Nothing more. We shared Romana #1. It's one of three giant pizzas that states it'll feed a few people. For appetizers, calamari and rosemary fries. - The calamari. Extremely overbattered. Otherwise, it's exactly what you'd expect. - The fries were fries. Exactly as you'd expect. - The Romana. It's amazing they have the nerve to charge $35 for an otherwise "XXL" cheese pizza in a rectangular shape. It was so sparse on toppings that it hit a nerve. For example, the end of the pizza with the balsamic and prosciutto had literally portioned out a small piece of prosciutto and a couple drops of balsamic. It was scant and flavorless. Actually, I'd say the whole thing was stale. Wasn't even hot when we got it. The cheese wasn't melty. The crust wasn't crispy. The whole thing just wasn't quality. It almost tasted frozen. That gummy sort of texture was present. To put the Romana in perspective, if you went to Settebello you'd pay around $12-15 per pizza. A quality pizza. Distinctly quality. If you ordered three expensive ones you'd equal one of these Romanas, feed more people, and make them happier. If you went to Naked City Pizza, the bar for bar pizza, you'd be able to buy a "frickin huge" specialty pie, again feeding more people, with piping hot freshness and flavor making everyone happier. I'd never be back. But one last thing... I missed the Elite event not too long ago, and I'm glad I did because had I written this review there it would have just been lost in the useless waves of 5-stars that just say "We saw friends! Thanks for the free food even though we had to wait a long time!" Come now, Elites. REVIEW the place. Don't throw out 5 stars for free food. It helps nobody. Unless Pizza Rock was just sold on bringing Elites in to start a buzz, I imagine they could have valued some honest feedback from the community so I wouldn't have to hammer their mediocrity today.

I was disappointed. The menu advertises 1/2 pound brisket? Really it was two slices. My daughter in law ordered the grilled cheese. Waiter asked did you want tomato? They charged a extra dollar for a single slice of tomato. The bacon board was tasty had a few slices with a couple of dabs of dip. For 16.00 that was a rip off. My son ordered the pulled pork which came with Coe slaw on the sandwich. He doesn't like coleslaw and they replaced the sandwich and brought out fries then charged additional 2.00 again another charge not disclosed. The cauliflower for 4.00 was cold and hard. The hostess never stopped playing with he hair. The severs run continual an gov a uneasy feeling. I was very disappointed. Save your money!!!!!

ok so here is the thing....I really wanted to like this place because I am a big supporter of Downtown and the Arts District. I was so amazed at the quality of the food or the lack thereof . We went for lunch, had salad, articoke, side of meatballs and a sub sandwhich.....the only thing that was edible was the sub...it was pretty good. The bread is as exactly stated as below from the Yelpers...I heated the butter in my hand and it was like white wonder bread...no good. The artichoke was by far the tipping point... so overcooked and mushy in a weird brown no flavor sauce packed with flavorless bread crumbs topped with a stabbed lemon slice on top.... Never order this, it was just gross. The side salad was ok...basic bag salad....and I have had a much better meatballs in Costco from the frozen section with the little old lady with the dixie cups. We did split a cannoli, and the cream was odd and chalky but it and the shell, were sweet enough to pass for dessert. The crazy part is the owner of 35 years was standing 10 feet away from us the entire time, and he never once asked how things were, and sometimes just sat and looked into space. The grade from the Health Dept was an A on the wall but I would have to disagree, not to mention no paperseat covers in the restroom . I will never return unless it changes owners. I will watch out on these reviews just in case things get better. We have way too many wonderful choices in Las Vegas to try to keep Chicago Joe's afloat when it is sinking......Joe, for the sake of history and all thing vintage please take pride in your place clean up your house.

I didn't get what all the hype was with this place so I took my boyfriend there tonight in time for their happy hour. Not so much of a HAPPY hour when all that is discounted is the 2-roll pieces. I wasn't impressed. We ordered the simple California and Salmon rolls and it took over 45 minutes to get our food. This place is TINY, it wasn't packed, and their were two sushi chefs working. My boyfriend's pepsi was flat, our waitress was horribly slow, and we paid $25 for average sushi. I've had better. See Pearl Sushi review.
