Pizza Rock opened up their first location in December of 2011. I believe in Taichung, but I'm not positive. Since then, they've opened up many locations throughout Taichung and other cities in Taiwan: Taipei, New Taipei City, Taoyuan, Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, Changhua, Yuanlin, and Zhubei (accurate at the time of this review). I'm not surprised that they've been accepted in all these cities because their pizza is delicious. They have a rock n' roll theme to their pizza places: many large posters of musicians are on the walls and they play the music of those bands and other similar artists.
Their pizza is classified as Italian-style -- Roma to be more specific. It's baked in an oven, making the thin pizza dough's texture pleasing. If you don't like your pizza crust to be a little charred, which can be a normal thing in Rome, you can ask them to not char it. They have two pizza sizes: 8 & 12 inch. Unless you eat like a bird, their eight-inch pizza should be good for you. I can down their 12-inch pizza by myself, but I usually feel a bit too full after doing so, which doesn't seem to stop me, since their pizza is so satisfying. I really like how they offer garlic infused olive oil as one of the pizza condiments. Spicy olive oil or garlic olive oil is a typical table item at an authentic Italian pizza restaurant, so it's nice that they have followed suit.
I was very satisfied with every pizza choice that I tried of theirs, and after looking at the photos below you can see that I've tried a good amount. Every element of the pizza was delicious: the thin pizza dough, the sauce, and the fresh ingredients. If I had to choose which pizza of theirs that I liked the best, I'd choose Spicy Chorizo.
Pizza isn't the only thing that they do exceptionally: Their panini are delicious as well. They put a good amount of ingredients inside with enough sauce. Most Taipei places fail to put enough of these two things. Also, the bread is quality and toasted well. Throughout my visits I've tried five of their panini, and they were all very satisfying, with the Tuna Melt Havarti and the Pesto Sausage being my favorites.
I didn't try any of their appetizers or salads, so I can't comment on them, but I did try one of their dessert choices, and it was delicious: Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream. It was a rich-chocolatey fudgy brownie rather than a caky brownie. I like both kinds, but prefer said type. The only thing that I didn't like of theirs was their baked pasta. I really didn't like it because it contained almost no sauce or spices, which made it really bland and boring. I recommend staying away from their baked pasta and ordering anything else on their menu.
Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian items available in every category of their menu, and they're clearly marked with a broccoli symbol. No point in me listing them all here when you can easily see them in the menu pictures in the photo section below.
