Taking pizza to the next level, Pizza Rock was born from the creative minds of three best friends: George Karpaty, Tony Gemignani, and Trevor Hewitt. Combining George and Trevor’s nightlife expertise (Ruby Skye, San Francisco) with Tony’s pizza making expertise (13-time World Pizza Champion, Tony’s Pizza Napoletana, San Francisco), Pizza Rock is pizza artisan meets nightlife energy. This is not your traditional pizzeria.
We are excited to bring this unique concept to Downtown Las Vegas. Pizza Rock features gourmet pizzas in a variety of styles, 23 rotating drafts, craft cocktails, and over 60 bottled and canned beer; all served up in an artistic and energetic atmosphere.
The 185-seat restaurant designed by Michael Boskovich and constructed by Terra Nova Industries, offers a variety of Italian and American pizza styles, all cooked in one of the restaurant’s four different ovens, including Neapolitan, Classic Italian, Classic American, Sicilian, Roman, and Gluten Free. Highlights include Gemignani’s award-winning pizzas such as the Sicilian-style Burratina Di Margherita (Burrata cheese, cherry tomatoes tossed with basil, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction), which won the Gold Cup Pizza Championships Leece, Italy; Napoletana-style Margherita (San Marzano tomatoes, Mozzarella Fior de Latte, basil, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt), which won the World Pizza Cup Naples, Italy; and Cal Italia (Asiago, Mozzarella, imported Gorgonzola, sweet fig preserve, Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano and balsamic reduction), which won the Gold Medal in Food Network Pizza Champions Challenge.
Additionally, a selection of pastas, calzones, Stromboli, antipasti and salads are offered, all with a focus on authentic Italian ingredients and organically-grown produce. All fresh pastais made on-premises, as is the Sicilian and Calabrese link and bulk sausages. Pizza Rock also offers an array of New York slices,calzones, strombolis, meatball subs, perfect for a quick, convenient bite on the way to work, from a bar, or just enjoyed while strolling the streets of downtown Las Vegas. Pizza Rock’s full bar focuses on hand-crafted artisan cocktails, an extensive draft and bottled beer list and a collection of wines with a focus on California and Italy. An Acoustic Sunday Brunch will feature specialty breakfast pizzas but also a twist on classics like meatball hash and eggs, eggs Benedict with pancetta and French toast made with focaccia bread.
While Pizza Rock is a restaurant first and foremost, it’s about more than just food; it is a destination location where guests come to unwind, have something to eat, drink, and also sit back and enjoy the scene around them. There is an electric energy inside the space, including a tremendous sound system, DJs Thursday through Saturday nights and a few additional surprises along the way. Guests are encouraged to come for the food and stay for the fun.
Pizza Rock is open late and will cater to the needs of the emerging entertainment district in downtown Las Vegas. Pizza Rock is open Sunday-Thursday from 11am to midnight and Friday-Saturday from 11am to 2am. Sunday features an ACOUSTIC BRUNCH served from 11am to 2pm.
