Rockin Rice Puddin & NY Pizza Head to the Strip

A new pizza option is heading to the Strip with the unusual twist of also serving more than “fifty flavors of gourmet rice pudding” if you are in the mood for dessert.

Rockin Rice Puddin & NY Pizza will take over the former Dino’s Little Italy space at the Hawaiian Marketplace, a few steps from the newly arrived fast casual Korean-American concept, Chew & Chug.

Hosting a grand opening on July 21 at 11 a.m., the newcomer is promising “da best” pizza, featuring a crispy crust and eight “homemade sauces” with topping options including baked ziti, a BLT combination, and Buffalo chicken.

Prices range from $14.95 for a small pie, to $18.95 for a large, with specialty pizzas priced from $21.95 up to $29.95 for a stuffed option. Slices are available from $3.25 to $4.50 each.

The rice pudding dishes are “made fresh daily to ensure the utmost quality” and lactose-free and sugar-free alternatives are being created. Toppings include pralines, blackberry sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.

Open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight, Rockin Rice will also be delivering to the Strip and beyond.
