Rocco’s NY Pizzeria and Pasta: A Slice of New York in Summerlin

With several locations scattered across Las Vegas, Rocco’s NY Pizzeria and Pasta is a humble, no-frills pizzeria that delivers big on East Coast flavor, warm hospitality, and a menu that keeps you coming back for more.

But there’s something especially charming about the Summerlin location—a neighborhood favorite where pizza meets personality.

Pizza Made With A New York State of Mind

From the moment you walk through the door at Rocco’s, you’re greeted with the irresistible aroma of fresh-baked pizza, roasted garlic, and bubbling cheese.

The small shop carries the unmistakable vibe of a real New York slice joint—chefs tossing dough behind the counter. It’s casual, quick, and deeply satisfying.

Their hand-tossed pizzas are crafted with love, each one baked fresh in a traditional pizza oven right before your eyes. You can watch the chefs behind the counter working their magic—kneading dough, spreading sauce, layering cheese, and sending the pies off to bake to sizzling perfection.

There’s something for every pizza lover here: the classic cheese pizza (which hits all the right nostalgic notes), pepperoni for a timeless favorite, and a range of veggie options that don’t skimp on flavor.

Of course, if you’re craving something unique, you can build your own pizza from the ground up, choosing from a wide variety of toppings and sauces. It’s all about fresh ingredients and bold, savory bites.

One of the highlights is how well-balanced their pizzas are—the crust is thin but sturdy, the sauce is flavorful without being overpowering, and the cheese has just the right amount of melt and pull. Every slice is a testament to their consistency and craft.

‘Big Apple’ Appetizers To Start Any Meal Right

While pizza might be the star, Rocco’s appetizer game deserves its own spotlight. We started our visit with garlic knots—pillowy-soft and fresh out of the oven, brushed with garlic butter and served with a side of marinara. These knots are addictive in the best way and a perfect way to whet your appetite.

Next up: chicken wings with a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful inside. Pair them with a side of fries, and you’ve got yourself a crave-worthy combo.

The fried ravioli is another favorite—crunchy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and paired with that house marinara that ties it all together.

But perhaps the most surprising win? The rice balls. Golden brown and stuffed with savory fillings, they’re a must-try if you want something comforting, cheesy, and uniquely delicious.

Rocco’s Kitchen Classics That Go Beyond The Slice

Rocco’s also offers a hearty selection of Italian comfort classics. Their lasagna is layered to perfection, with just the right amount of cheese, meat, and pasta. The baked ziti is rich, creamy, and portioned generously—ideal for when you’re craving something filling and warm.

They’ve got a lineup of hot and cold sandwiches, too—think meatball subs, chicken parm, and Italian heroes—all served on fresh bread and packed with flavor. Each bite feels like a lunchtime trip to Brooklyn.

Rocco’s also sells their house-made pasta sauces so that you can bring that homemade flavor to your kitchen. Whether you’re cooking spaghetti at home or want to relive the taste of dinner at Rocco’s, these sauces are a great take-home option.

And if you’re in the mood for lighter fare, Rocco’s Caesar salad is surprisingly memorable. Crisp romaine, perfectly dressed, topped with parmesan and crunchy croutons—it might just be one of the best in town.

Also, it’s hard to leave Rocco’s without something sweet, and their house-made gelato is a local secret worth sharing. Creamy, cool, and rich with flavor, it’s a refreshing way to end your meal, especially in the Las Vegas heat.

Beyond the food, what makes Rocco’s so special is its atmosphere. The Summerlin Trails Village location may be small, but it’s cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff is friendly and fast, and the kitchen is open, so you always feel part of the action.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch, picking up dinner on the way home, or having a casual family night out, Rocco’s is easy, reliable, and always delicious.

It’s rare to find a local spot that nails both quality and comfort, but Rocco’s NY Pizzeria and Pasta delivers on all fronts. It’s a place where East Coast flavors meet West Coast warmth—a little slice of New York right here in the desert.

So, the next time you’re in the neighborhood and craving something truly satisfying, stop by Rocco’s in Summerlin Trails Village. You’re guaranteed to leave full, happy, and planning your next visit.
