I grew up coming to Rocco's for over 30 years. They might have been the first pizza I have ever had and their taste has not changed. They make the traditional Brooklyn pizza pies with all assortments of toppings. They have a large selection of appetizers, entrees, and drinks. They have a large seating area and their restaurant is always full of patrons.
Thanks for the introduction of one of my favorite foods if all time.
A very decent slice in a neighborhood with few pizza options (though Totonno's is not too far). A good New York slice done right by an Italian dude with an accent (how many of those are still around?). I was annoyed that he wouldn't sell fewer than 5 garlic knots (how many people need 5 giant knots for themselves?), but other than that, no gripes.
Rocco's was my first love, when it comes to pizzerias. This was a little over 20 years ago. Problem is, I'm giving them a lot of points for the nostalgia and the sentiment. The pizza….it's just not that good. Extremely oily and kind of bleh. These are things you don't realize as a kid, because you just don't care; you got pizza and that's that. But we grow and learn what's good and what's not. Everything changed once I tried Delmar's (Knapp is a very notable mention, too). 15 years ago, and I've only had Rocco's a handful of times since then, and mainly for the nostalgia of having a slice in the old neighborhood pizza spot.
Lot of reviewers complain about the rudeness. Yeah, it's hit and miss with that. Shouldn't be the case but it is. Thing is, that lot is being demolished to build condos so they're not really worried about losing customers. Roccos is getting kaboshed either way. It's a crappy mentality to go out but that's how they want to go about the whole thing.
Pizza is always good here. Some of the guys working here could be extremely rude but that doesn't stop me from coming in. I use to really enjoy the grilled chicken Caesar salad until it got worse and worse. I wouldn't come here for anything other than the pizza it's always consistent. The delivery is also really quick which is why I'm still a costumer. Otherwise there's cheaper and better quality pizza in Brooklyn.
