ROCA Pizza

Lots of points for vegetarian selections, and creative ones at that. I had a regular cheese slice and a Mushroom and Potato slice. I love the super crispy crust on both...unique, Roman, not NY style, so good on it's own terms. (The crust.) Anything with potatoes is a win...I did like this slice but it needed more flavor. The cheese slice was a little undercooked...the mozzarella barely melted...I need little brown spots on my cheese slices or it's over. My wife had the Kale and Almond salad which she thought was great. No tap water available to drink for dine in (it's quick service...just a few tables on the inside and a few out.) but they had cups available to provide for the for-sale bottles of still and sparkling water. Feels like they should have water available. We'd get it again every now and then when we want something not traditional.

Americana has a new pizza pop up store and it is amazing! My girlfriend and I tried the Soppressata & Burrata and the Thai Chicken pizza. Apparently, they ferment their dough for 72 hours, which is why the dough is so fluffy. Once you pick your pizza from the display, they toast it in the oven so that it comes out hot and crispy. I would definitely try this place out if you're in the area! You can even take your slice and eat it on the Americana lawn for a pseudo-picnic!

The pizza was ok-ish but the girl who severed it was rude. Treat all your Customers equally. I definitely felt her vibe and judgement of me. Yuck. How could you treat the lady before me differently? Her energy was unwelcoming towards me. Will never go back, won’t recommend.

Delicious pizza. Really tasty, high quality and some of the best you will find in the area. The pizza is fresh and warmed for you ready to go. Only caveat is that the pizza is very expensive. More than 20 dollars for 3 slices. The place just opened and I think it’s worth supporting small businesses, so I highly recommend the pizza since it’s good.

If you're looking for a really fresh and tasty slice look no further. This is a nice little pizza shop that sells whole, half and by the sliced pizzas. They also have fresh salads that are either made for a sit down or on the go. They have only outdoor seating in the quiet and beautiful Palisades village. On this visit I ordered a slice of soppressata & burrata, a slice of cremini mushroom & Italian sausage, and an order of suppli cheese ( rice croquette with tomato sauce and mozzarella).The mushroom slice is perfect for a mushroom lover. Wonderful earthiness and richness from the meat and cheese. The soppressata was a wonderful meaty slice with a Herby pesto. The mind blowing though experience was the suppli rice croquettes that was in my own words like a risotto filled fried log paired with a wonderful tomato sauce and creamy gooey mozzarella. It's a shame that I didn't get more. When I am back in this area I will be swinging by to try more.

OMG!!!! Absolutely delicious pizza here. The dough is cold fermented for 72 hours, leaving a delicious not too chewy not too crunchy but light chewy crunch. It's also supposed to be easily digestible. Leon was Uber nice and said I chose his favorite, the mixed mushroom pizza. Inside and outside seating and lots of choices. I love that they use paper plates instead of plastic.

The food was fine but I was rather disappointed that they do not offer tap water to drink. I wasn't able to enjoy my food much being thirsty during my meal. 😕 I am unlikely to go again without them offering water.

Bought two slices just to try because I love pizza, I ordered a slice of Mixed mushroom and another slice of Potato. They offered to heat it for me and when I went outside to eat it, it was still cold. I found it flavorless and the dough was nothing special. The worst part about it was the cheese, it was weirdly creamy, I didn’t like this texture at all. I still can’t figure out if I was eating cream cheese or just doughy dough. The cheese quality wasn’t it, it had no flavor or texture. Also, not enough toppings. I would not recommend.

I've tried MANY types of pizza -- from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles and like all different types. Roca serves up a thicker crust pan pizza not quite as thick as "Detroit Style" or "Grandma Style" but thicker than your typical New York slice. Picked up one cheese and one slice of pepperoni to take home and reheat per their instructions. Wish I like it more as it was just "ok" hence the three star rating. I know they say they use the finest ingredients but I wasn't wowed by the crust and noticed very little tomato sauce on each slice. It's not cheap at around 6.25 a slice plus tax as your really need at least two per person to feel full. Maybe I'll try once more when it comes hot and fresh out of their oven but would not do take out again.

The pizza here is absolutely amazing! Please do not compare it to traditional American pizza that is sold here because this is in a league of its own. I spent at least 13 summers in Italy so I would know. I'd definitely compare it more to the authentic style "pizza a taglio " you get in Rome while running through a piazza on your way to the train station. The pizza here is premade, cut into squares, and warmed up especially for you. The flavors are unique and the dough is light and airy but slightly crispy. Their ingredients are fresh and organic just the way they are in Italy. My favorites are the "amatriciana" one , which has guanciale, (the Italian version of bacon on it) or the "pesto and burrata"one. I also recommend the sausage and potato one. I love their Brussels sprouts as a side dish and their tiramisu for dessert. A lot of love goes into making this type of pizza so as your eating it close your eyes and imagine you are sitting in front of the Colosseum or the Trevi Fountain because that's as close as you are going to get to actually being there. That's what I do every time I eat at Roca!

There are a lot of bad restaurants in the Palisades. This one is the funniest. From the outside, it looks kinda like a chocolatier. Which could go a couple of ways with pizza. On the one hand, I could imagine an upscale Neapolitan coming out of such a place. But it could also mean ignorance around what makes a good aesthetic for pizza. Or it's just covering something up - good pizza doesn't need to be fancy. It's mostly the latter. It was not good pizza. I don't mean this rhetorically: I have had cafeteria pizza better than this pizza. Was it even made there? It's hard to say: everything gets heated up in a commercial heating oven that's more commonly seen...in a cafeteria. It is the same style you see in the public lunch program - rectangle pies, a lot of sauce, and a thick, artificial tasting crust. We still ate it though.

Small slices at high prices but also seriously delicious. So I'm considering it worth the cost.

I went in there several times before it closed down. I was surprised to see that the pizzas were not kept hot or cold. They were essentially room temperature. I just could not get myself to buy one worried about bacteria. No surprise they closed down.

I live in the area and walk Palisades Village every weekend, it's my favorite little area in L. A. I was excited a few months ago to see a new little pizza place open in the village, something desperately needed. Today, I finally went in and bought 2 slices, one plain, and one pepperoni, to try the place out and decide if it'd be my new close-to-home pizza place. It will not. This was the worst pizza I've had in L. A. in the 40+ years I've been here from NY. I have high standards, having grown up on NY pizza, but there are lots of great pizza joints in this city that measure up, this just ain't one of 'em. The pepperoni was supposedly fresh out of the oven, yet it was soggy, barely warm, and DRENCHED in oil that tasted like it was honey or sugar based, it was cloyingly sweet. VERY disappointing. After 2 bites I moved to the plain and it was worse as it didn't have the taste of greasy pepperoni to help it. For this 'pleasure' I paid $13.50 FOR TWO SLICES, then even added a $1 tip for the kid who worked there who barely said 2 words to me and neither was 'Thank' or 'you'. STEER CLEAR. Find a close Dominos, the pizza won't be up to NY standards but it'll be a damn sight better than this place.

I didn't think I liked it because I love New York thin-style pizza. I got a piece of the asparagus/goat cheese and cheese. The asparagus/goat cheese was great!!! The cheese pizza was good as well.

OK, this is the Palisades, people can afford a $40 pie. The fact is that no pizza should cost $40. They are just trying to pay their rent to stay afloat. The pizza is decent, that's it. If it provided some sort of orgasmic sensation it would have been worth it but it didn't. Best of luck to you, I'll go to Gelson's and buy fresh pizza dough for $5 and make my own in my BBQ with a pizza stone.

Great selection of square slices. The crust is really tasty and they have a nice selection of boxed salads too.

I have been a fan of ROCA from the Americana pop-up days and I'm so excited it has finally arrived to the Westside! Safe to say I adore the pizza, how crunchy it is and how It reheats so well in the home oven! The team is always so welcoming and I can't wait to go back to try all the flavors - my favorite is the potato sausage (which is legit Italian roman flavor that I have never found in the US!!). Final note: the Kale & almond salad is my favorite salad in Los Angeles, hands down!

Amazing! Highly recommend! The owner/chef so friendly and talented! The pizza and salad were to die! So excited for our new pizza spot and to try all of the different pizza and salads!

THIS IS FROM MY 10 YEAR OLD WHO LOVED THE CHEESE PIZZA! HIS MOM LOVED THE ASPARAGUS AND THE BBQ CHICKEN! The pizza makes you feel like you have lived your entire life to sink your teeth into it. The pizza was given to my family quickly and the owners are very nice. Going inside the restaurant feels like you're in a huge mansion and you have your own pizza place. I definitely recommend Roca Pizza. it is the #1 pizza place in the Palisades.

Pizza is always delicious. Great variety of toppings. Ashley helped us, and she was amazing at suggesting some of her favorites, which were spot on. My new go-to pizza spot.

This is one of the best slices I've had in a while! The bbq chicken pizza and the suppli's are definitely something to obsess over. Also the staff is super nice and knowledgeable about all the options available. Seriously cannot wait to go back!

To be honest I was really excited for a new restaurant in the palisades cuz all of the restaurants here suck!! This one sucks too! I don't understand why someone can't open one good food place around here. Most the food doesn't taste good. The dough tastes like I'm biting into a thick paper box. There's no flavor. The quality is not there. Their pizza tastes awful. I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude but you should honestly try considering a new recipe because it's pretty bad. Try going to Margo's in Santa Monica or Pizza Tongue in Glendale. Go try their vegan pizza and it's 100 times better than this place. You're competing against that kind of deliciousness so you should try them and make a new recipe after you eat their pizza. Or else I don't think your business will make it very far. Also consider some homemade vegan cheese. Redo your concept & menu!

I had the most amazing experience here all thanks to Stephanie. She greeted us with such a warm smile and I immediately felt at home. What an amazing environment and vibe definitely 10/10! Thank you so much!!!

I LOVE LOVE this place. Big time. I'm from Seattle WA. If you're from Seattle or know of it, you know it rains a LOT. One thing us Seattleites know well is our food.. you also know this if you've visited. This pizza place is one of about 4 GO-TO PLACES I have in LA. I get it every single Sunday as a matter of fact. The soppressata and burrata with pesto on top is my WEEKLY with the mushroom option coming second. If you like pizza this is the place to BE

Not only do they have amazing food, but the service is incredible! I always walk in and see smiles and delicious pizza. Stephanie was so sweet and generous. We will definitely be returning!

DO NOT GO!!! Pizza tastes like cardboard and is over $6 per slice!!! Ingredients don't seem high quality. The pizza tastes like pizza from a drab kid's menu.

Delish and loved the samples!! The food is well priced and worth it. Awesome organic pizza!

I go here at least once a week because I am obsessed!!! These flavors are on another level and each pizza is expertly made. My go-to choice is the eggplant and olive tapenade one, it's heavenly. Everything is super filling without being heavy. And on top of everything, the staff couldn't be nicer. Stephanie, Ashley, and Julia will brighten your day guaranteed. Hands down the best pizza you can get in the Palisades.

Their pizza is delicious! My favorite is the mushroom and sausage but all the ones I tried are great. The restaurant is a wonderful addition to the new center.

Staff was extremely kind, pizza was reheated in oven so not entirely fresh but the ingredients obviously organic, dough tasted great, the mushroom pizza was the best among the different types we tasted.

Stopped by this cute lil gem after the farmers market on Sunday and we LOVED it! Staff were helpful and super friendly, they even had samples!, and lots of fresh pizza options to choose from. The vegan option was fantastic and the mushrooms were abundant on the mushroom pizza. They warm up the pizza at time of order! Definitely one of my new fav pizza places!
