Came here last night on a whim with Ingrid S. after attending the Lollpalooza of career fairs last night. We were on a professional mini-bender and in desperate need of noms. Cheesy noms.
As per usual, neither of us were craving anything in particular and nothing in the immediate neighborhood was looking particularly appetizing…we finally decided that we wanted cheesy…I was craving pasta…but Italian places in this hood are to be savored for more formal dinner plans – not for mini-bender munchies time. Pizza. YEAH, PIZZA WORKS AND THEY MIGHT EVEN SELL PASTA! I was sold.
To be honest I would have gotten pasta here had they had something creamy inspired or preferably, freakin' Alfredo sauce. Between you, me and the billions of people that visit Yelp on a daily basis – I love Alfredo sauce. I can't get enough of the stuff. It's my spirit ani-sauce. It's my spirit sauce. But they do have regular tomato sauce pasta, lasagna, some salads, garlic knots and other rando Italian-inspired options on their menu – all reasonably priced.
Between it looking clean, having a Department of Health "A" grade and smelling yummy inside we were sold on making this our home for the next 35 minutes. We ended up getting a cheestastic cheesy calzone (which came served with a small side and a slice of sweet, Italian sausage pizza. We went halfsies on both things and to be honest, both were actually quite decent. I would totally go back for that cheese calzone, it was cheesegasmic.
Went here with a friend to grab a bite to eat for a late dinner. The place was not crowded at all, so we were able to order right away and find a seat.
I ordered a couple slices of the grandma pizza and we split some meatballs. The grandma pizza was decent, as it had some good flavor in the sauce, but lacked that nice crunchy crust texture that I love in pan pizzas. The meatballs on the other hand were pretty run of the mill and nothing special.
Overall, it was the perfect spot for us to grab a quick bite to eat, but I won't be rushing back any time soon.
Came here about a month ago after an open bar social media event. Go figure. I'm also behind, I know. BUT Stephy and I were drunk, per usual, and on the hunt for oddly sushi I think at the time in Chelsea. But the place she was thinking of had shuttered. We were having no luck and ran into this. They have an A rating (mega bonus). They even sell pasta. Okay! But between the two of us we split just a regular slice of sausage/cheese and a cheese calzone. Shockingly actually pretty good. The calzone was really excellent and served with tomato sauce on the side. Both warm and filled to the brim with ricotta and a nice crust that wasn't too thick and or doughy. Also, pretty cheap. If I were drunk and again in the neighborhood I would definitely remember this spot!
I'm not too familiar with pizza joints around this area but I came here with a friend who is a regular customer and works in the area. Nice little spot and people kept coming in and out but it wasn't too crowded given the time of day.
They have a great lunch special of 2 slices and a drink for about $5.50 or $5.75, a good deal if you're on a budget. My friend took this deal but I decided on a regular slice and a white slice. Once I placed my order is when I realized they had delicious grandma slices….next time for sure.
Ok, now, for the pizza. Huge slices! Normally I am a two slice kind of girl but after I was done with the first slice I felt like I was going to take a nap right there on the table. Don't worry, I finished my second slice and it was really good. I just felt super sleepy right after. So, my tip to you would be order 1 slice first and see if you can handle it. These are pretty big and tasty slices.
Me: I'm just barely under card the minimum card charge with two slices. Can you make an exception? (Sign says $7.50 charge minimum)
pizza guy: "minimum is $10"
Me: "oh. I cannot eat that much pizza"
Pizza guy: "bye!" (With hand wave)
You've lost my business for good. I value a small business that treats their Chelsea locals well. Currently walking to Pizza Italia on 17th and 9th ave instead.
Lots of great pizza places in the area. Ordered through seamless a small cheese pizza and we were pleasantly surprised with the size of pie we got. It was 6 huge slices and came hott. Pizza was a little on the greasy side and nothing to rave about so that's why it's 3 stars.
Did it said it satisfy my pizza craving? Hell yea!!!!
3.5 stars.
Aside from the abundance of 2 Bros in the area, places you can walk in and grab a good slice aren't overly common. Rocco's definitely hits the nail on the head there though, and when I stumbled in (this is a theme in my reviews), I was pretty satisfied with what I got. The grandma slice was definitely above average, while the cheese slice was not, but no complaints. The prices are pretty Chelsea.
Good and affordable pizza for a quiet Sunday night. Came fast, large portions. I only wish they would send more spices.
Nothing special here
