Coming back into town from the North side on the I-15, I was supposed to meet up with someone around the Aliante area after lunch time. Drove around the area looking for something, wanting to avoid a chain sit down restaurant or fast food, we saw Rocco's. \n\nWalking in, they have New York photos, sports memorabilia and such adorning all of the walls and most of the flat surfaces. Their menu was surprisingly huge for a pizza place as well. The cashier seemed a little cold and distant when we got there, almost like a true New Yorker, troubled that we would show up and make her do something.\n\nSettling on a special of a salad, slice of pizza and drink, we sat down in the slightly cramped dining area awaiting our meals. Our salads came out first, they were decently sized, with lettuce that was almost fresh and not that brown around the edges of some pieces.\n\nNext came our pizza, good sized, NY style pizza by appearance. Once it hit our mouths though... it was very bland. The crust was tough and crunchy, to the point of being tough to rip bites away from the slice.\n\nI can't say that I was impressed by their take on NY pizza, or pizza in general, nor can I say that I will ever want to go back.\n\nOn the other side, the staff did seem less stand-offish once we were heading out, one gentleman held the door for our group and wished us well for the day.
