Rocco Pizza

Rocco’s on Dekalb is the family-owned pizza joint you want in your neighborhood. Great slices. Real people. Warm service. Truly a cornerstone of the community and a third space where you will run into neighbors from all walks of life, unified by our mutual love for pizza!

Rocco Pizza is conveniently located in our neighborhood. They haven’t been our “go-to” pizza spot, but they’re there when we have needed a last minute meal. For starters, there have been 3 separate times that we ordered and found a 3-5inch long black hair in the food. This past Wednesday we had one of those nights where we needed a last minute, low effort dinner. We ordered a plain cheese pie, a Margherita pie, and garlic knots - nothing fancy. While eating the cheese pie we noticed that the bottom of the crust had a few spots that were super charred. I scraped one off and noticed that it had wings. There were flies burnt onto the bottom of our pizza. I almost threw up. Getting a hair in your food is one thing, three times is a lot though…but serving food with flies on it is disgusting. I understand that they have an open brick oven pizza, but for crying out loud they should always make sure it’s clean. We ate roughly half of both pies before noticing how “charred” they were. We are lucky we didn’t get sick after eating God knows how many flies. We will NEVER order from this place again, and I recommend you don’t either. Photos included showing 2 flies for reference.

I’d urge you to order from anywhere else unless you enjoy wasting your hard earned money. I ordered a Margarita pizza for myself and some friends, and what was dropped off on the floor of my apartment building (there was no phone call/knock on the door to indicate that it had arrived) was an assortment of 4 random cold slices of pizza. I understand that mistakes can happen, but what made this even more egregious was that the pizza was bad. Greasy, stale, and flavorless. When I called the number for the restaurant, I was greeted by an answering machine that said that it would text me a link to dispute my order. I then spent the rest of the night trying to ask a bot for a refund. Shameful.

I ordered here after a different place messed up my order. My order arrived quickly and was very delicious. I got the white pizza and it was great. Will definitely be ordering from them again. (ETA a week later, I have ordered again and it was just as delicious the second time!)

A spot that has been consistent with freshness and taste, with others cheating and jipping on product ROCCO Pizza 🍕 is authentically real. The taste is just as good as it was since the first day. I have been coming for over 20 years. ROCCO PIZZA 🍕 has and will always will be the BEST in BROOKLYN. Customer Service is on point, everyone is friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

hands down the best old school pizza joint in the whole city- but that’s not even what’s greatest about it- besides having an amazing selection of slices and specials (rolls, grandma slices, zeppoles) they literally play the best old school music and it’s just an immaculate vibe. it’s quick and perfectly cooked to crispy nyc standards. also- probably the last place in nyc with a $3 plain slice

Ordered a large pepperoni through uber eats from here. They completely botched the order, flipping it. Called Rocco and they were so nice and delivered me another one. Always order from here, highly recommend.

I recently visited this local pizza spot, and while I hoped for that classic NY-style pizza experience, it fell a bit short. The service was a letdown, with the staff member taking orders coming off as rude and lacking professionalism, which didn't help the overall atmosphere. As for the pizza itself, it was just okay – not the typical oily and crispy slice you'd expect from a New York pizzeria. Instead, the pizza was somewhat bland and unfortunately had a hard bottom. I wouldn't recommend this place unless it's your last option :(

My friend and I ordered from Rocco Pizza this past Sunday. We were both starving as we really hadn't had any food because we were so busy moving her out of her apartment with the help of movers. We ordered a sausage pizza pie for five people. The pizza tasted amazing. We ate the pizza with some lay's Salt & Vinegar chips. Great pizza spot in Brooklyn.

I LOVE this pizza!!!! The flavor, consistency of the cheese and dough, and temperature are all perfect. I am so happy when I come here. The service is great and friendly as well. In the summer/warm weather, if you get a smoothie, you can sit outside of BKLYN Blend with your pizza, but otherwise there is nowhere to sit. That is the only downside, pizza is easy to walk with.

This pizza was so delicious, I had it this past weekend while visiting in New York. I'm in Florida now wishing I could order this pizza. I need the recipe to make this at home! Get the pizza!! P.S. Can you deliver to Florida?

I love it now,back in the day I didn't like thery pizza but its has improved amazingly since then, it's my go to pizza spot now

I'd say like 3/3.5 delivery takes over an hour an I live 3 blocks away. Multiple times I've gotten a warm pizza and had to reheat it. It's great pizza though. Just would be better if it came on time. Shame it happens so often

Order from a local pizza place for the party my friend said. Took a shot and ordered here. Worth it! We got 1 bbq chicken and 1 half regular half pepperoni My friends were were so excited and we gobbled it all up. It was delicious and hot. Also ordered pasta here to few days after. Would recommend if you live near by!

Went due to a post on Facebook- you must check out pizzaholics facebook page The grandma slice was excellent. Place was clean and service was great. Too bad it's not closer to my home! Would definitely go back

This is a solid slice joint. Good ratio of sauce and cheese, not too greasy. They recently redid the interior, but not a ton of room to sit inside, so take your slices home or to the park. Crust never stale. Staff consistent and friendly, I'm glad to have this option in the neighborhood.

This place is a dump. Tried it because Devour Power claimed they made excellent traditional New York pizza. It was mediocre...the place was run-down too. Give me a break.

I have been a loyal customer for years..I called earlier tonight to order something..They said if I want butter for the bread it's $1.00 extra..Are you kidding me??? No one does that..So now they lost a customer..I will never order from there again!! So who's the loser?? Certainly not me..lmao..

Came here yesterday for a splice. The place was crowded so I thought I would've been totally wowed by the pizza. Service - excellent; a lot of workers but everyone practiced social distance guidelines and word a mask. I had a Sicilian slice and chicken slice. Overall it was slightly better than good. I wasn't really wowed. But it was good.

Stopped in for pizza on a Friday night. Came out in a quick 20min. Was expecting a run of the mill pizza, but here I am thinking about the fried eggplant pizza two days later, definitely a must try. I also had the Hawaiian which was run of the mill.

Great pizza and great service! My boyfriend and I came in for a slice each. It was so good we went right back in to order two more slices to-go; they threw in an extra slice on the house. It made our night!

I ordered a pie and a 2 liter sprite for my kids today- the pizza pie was not fresh and they sent me a ginger ale instead of my sprite. I decided to call to let them know of the issue- the woman on the phone explained that they no longer have sprite and that they will send me a new pizza pie with an orange soda. When my kids received the pizza, the pizza pie looked like it was purposely mushed all over and the cheese was so thick, it barely melted! I guess they were mad that I was not satisfied with the first pie and so they ruined the new pizza pie! I will NEVER ORDER FROM THIS RAGGEDY PLACE AGAIN!!

The pizza is good but the woman at the register totally ignored me while on the phone 2 cus come in after me and she took their orders like I wasn't there and then got an attitude and started speaking dis in Italian about me mentioning this not knowing I understood every disrespectful word she said I'm a customer and would like to be respected when I'm spending my money

Solid slice. I'm a fan of saucier pizza and there's tends to be lighter on sauce, heavy on cheese. They do add extra sauce to their bacon and pepperoni slice and that would be my top pick. One slice of bacon and pepperoni and one plain slice comes to a little over $8, so I agree with some other reviews that it's on the pricey side, but then rhe cost of everything is going up now. I will say the bacon and pepperoni are good quality, I especially like that they use the little pepperoni that curls up into a bowl shape to hold all that juicy pizza grease.

Whenever I'm back in BK, I gotta pay Rocco's a visit! Love the cheese slices! Service always welcoming! Just murdered two slices tonight. Pizza itch has been scratched. Thank you!

No idea how there are bad reviews. Food is always fresh and consistent. Always happy with my delivery orders. Thank you!

The staff was very friendly and the service is very fast! Had their pizza a few hours after my sister bought it and it was still delicious! Went back a. Couple days later and it's even better fresh. The strawberry cheesecake is also amazing. Would recommend!

So, I'm staying in Brooklyn during my visit to New York, and spent all day in meetings. Rocco's Pizza is around the corner, so it was an option. And who doesn't like authentic NY pizza. First, customer service is impeccable. I asked how long the slices had been sitting there, and since the employee realized it may have been a while, she offered to make me two fresh slices. SHE. OFFERED. And I am grateful. The place was busy with orders from Door Dash, Uber Eats, but they were efficient at balancing it all. And you could tell they wanted to ensure that their customers got great pizza while it was hot! Alright, now what did the pizza taste like.... I had the pepperoni and bacon Pizza. I loved the large slices and abundant toppings. And since it was fresh and hot, it was delicious! It was greasy enough to make you feel vacation-decadent but not so much that you hate yourself in the morning. I finished half and forced myself to quit so I can eat the rest at two in the morning without regret. I also ordered dessert. I'll update after.

Talk about some amazing pizza!!! Came in with my friend to get a plain slice, she ended up getting two pepperoni slices (one for each). Very flavorful, cheesy, with just the right amount of pepperoni and sauce. By far this has got to be some of the best pizza in NYC.

Near by the 79pct. Great little place to order take out. Pizza is always fresh. I got a to with a 7.4 . Great idea highly recommend.

I guess its my fault for thinking I could get a good burger from a pizza place, was inedible, raw! Also mozzarella sticks tasting like fish! Yuck, such a turn off!

Was turned away from service here. Cashier told me to order pizza or nothing. I clearly read the great reviews about their pasta dishes and requested that but eventually just happily exited. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

One thing I love and that's important when I'm going to take out is that when I enter I wana see abundance. Customers want to see what's available to them. Welp this place hits the nail on the head. So many different flavors hitting you in the face! And the garlic knots. Not only do they look delectable they were the best I've had. They pack a punch. I asked the staff, what are your most popular slices, they said all slices are great but got into a deep conversation on how the margarita, the grandma and the pepperoni sasauge were the best. They even showed me the products. They sure did look amazing. The pepperoni slice is my go to and was yummy. See you's again very soon!

I've been living in this neighborhood for 20+ years Rocco's pizza used to be the best. I ordered 2 slices yesterday and they were both terrible. Barely sauce and hardly any cheese. It felt like eating dough only...I don't know who's running this place now now but something is not right maybe the workers are saving sauce and cheese for themselves...horrible horrible nothing like it used to be. If this is what you're putting out, go ahead and save people from this disgust and close down!!!

I had to grab a slice as Rocco's is around the corner from my sister's place. Slice was heated fast and was so tasty. I wish I could find pizza like this on the west coast but you really can't. I've been to so many "NYC" style pizza places that can't come close to a random pizza place in Brooklyn. A touch greasy but that's pepperoni for you. Loved it, wished I could have had more. I'll be back next time I'm around.

Just got my pizza delivered. I can't believe how this place went down 37.50 For a pizza half pepperoni and half mushroom. And a order of wings. The pizza was cold and the crust was very thin. Don't order from here everybody trying to cut corners

Best pizza in all the sty. Rocco is awesome and the place made me think I was in a movie. The service is fast and friendly.

It's consistent. This has been my go to pizza shop since I moved to the area 11 years ago. The food is great when you just want basic, no thrills grub!!! The pizza is OK, the sandwiches are OK....Rocco's is OK!

Convenient and in the neighborhood... food is decent and staff very nice. If I'm ever in the area again I'd stop in again.

Ordered pepperoni calzone instead got ricotta stuffed bread with a marinara on the side. The calzone was fully loaded with ricotta cheese that it's hard to call it calzone tbh. Had no flavor, would've been better off buying hotpockets.

I will never order from here again. After ordering from them for almost three years now - last night was the dealbreaker. Why do they charge a delivery fee? I paid 25 for a large . Races was almost $2, delivery fee was $2 and I still needed to tip. Why the fuck am I paying a delivery fee when I'm already tipping the delivery boy to deliver it ? (Who asked for a tip before even passing my pizza. Literally asked " tip? I don't see tip" ) Annoyance to the tenth degree

Ordered grandma's original and the vegetable supreme for my brother who moved out of the city and missed New York-style pizza. Both pies were amazing. The tomato sauce on the grandma tasted fresh and homemade (not tart and acidic like the sauces on cheap pies) and the vegetables were fresh and fully loaded. I also find Roccos charming (my Brooklyn-born bias growing up near Bensonhurst) because the family members were running the shop when I came to pick up my pies. I love family-owned businesses.

I have driven by this establishment numerous times but as a resident of Williamsburg for over 40 years, I have pretty decent pizza restaurants. Decided to give it a try as I was in neighborhood. My oh my the pizza is excellent!! I ordered a mini pizza 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 Italian sausage. And the staff was very friendly and courteous. Hoping that though they are in BedStuy, hope they deliver to Williamsburg! If not I will do pick up if necessary.

Great grandmas pizza!! Always my go to when I lived in bed stuy. Employees are nice and efficient

I've been starting to order from Roccos since quarantine happened and I have nothing but good words to spread about this place. I've never had a cold delivery my subs and pizzas are always hot and super filling. If I had to critique, the garlic knots are kinda eh it's just a bread ball with garlic on it, could be cooked better but I enjoy everything else

Love Rocco, and order from them frequently. Just a classic pie, and the buffalo wings are surprisingly good, with a crisp to them. My only issue is with the price of toppings, which makes absolutely no sense. It's $5 for a meat topping, which is already a little high, but ok--AND also $5 for any veggie topping, like peppers or onions, which is highway robbery, and that's whether you order a medium or a large. We'd order from here more often if they adjusted the prices to match the food cost, that way we could get a sausage pepper onion pie without paying an extra $15, nearly the price of the medium pizza itself. A little common sense would go a long way!

I'm not sure what happened while making my pizza this evening but it was not a Grandma pie at all. it was thick bread with completely bare areas (no sauce and no cheese). I ate one slice because I was starving after waiting over an hour for delivery, but it's not good and not what I paid 30 dollars for.

ignore the bad reviews! everyone here is so nice and the pizza is good. great neighborhood spot

tl;dr Good pizza, shitty humans. Rocco's hires delivery people who will literally walk away from you while you're talking to them about an order that was messed up. After demanding a refund, Rocco's will say they will give you one, and then won't. Long version: I had a simple delivery order and was told it would take ~45 minutes. Actually it took an hour and a half. When the delivery guy finally arrived, he had brought the wrong soda. I asked if he had the right soda in his bag or some such. He said "I don't know." As I was continuing to say so what are we going to do about this, he walked back to his bike. I said "excuse me," and he drove away. I called the manager at Rocco's. He offered a lukewarm apology for the asshole delivery person that he hired. I demanded a refund for my order and he said he would refund my credit card. This was a week ago. He never gave me the refund. I can see from the other reviews that lots of people have had issues with Rocco's delivery and/or management. Clearly Rocco's doesn't give a shit. Maybe consider *not* eating at Rocco's. I know I won't.

Pizza is mediocre. Big, white dude working there felt the need to argue with his coworkers the entire time I was in there. Not a good look. Very annoying.

I ordered Some grilled chicken with the roasted peppers with balsamic vinaigrette and shit was nasty. The grill chicken was dry as fuck And had no seasoning. Balsamic vinaigrette was too sweet that I couldn't eat the bread.

Only a few blocks from our AirBnb. This place serves more specialized pizza than plain cheese slice. The pizzas looked like they had been sitting. Hubby wanted a snack and got a cheese slice. He said it was adequate; nothing special. They have both thin and thick crust

We were in the process of closing one of our locations. The staff worked extremely well so I wanted to reward them by getting lunch. After checking some of the reviews for "Rocco Pizza" I felt it was a good bet. I called and the lady on the phone wasn't the nicest, but she did help. She told me there was a limit to what you could order over the phone before you have to order online. She gave me a number to a closer location which takes cards over the phone and has no limit. I called up and the guy was helpful and went over the prices with me. After ordering three pies, I was very pleased with the price. The only hiccup was the wait. It was over forty five minutes before the pizza came. He did say forty five minutes, but it was longer. Once it came, all time disappeared. We all dug in and were pleasantly surprised. The pizza was good. It was so good we even decided to use them for our next meeting. I would recommend them if someone asked. But that's behind a couple of other well liked spots. Hope you enjoy.

Rocco pizza by far the best pizza I've had in a while feels original and their very welcoming they support the customer and make me feel like I'm home. I recommend this place to all pizza lovers especially if you love a good slice. I've met the owner and he is nothing but respectful and respects the community around him.

Pizza was cold. A person would say "then just heat it up in the oven or on the stove".. yeah sure.. except it's 90 degrees outside.. and also at that point, why don't I just make my own pizza or buy a frozen one. I am giving them 2 stars cause I like the little pepperonis that curl up when they are cooked.

No I would not Recommend this place. This was my first time eating here and I was completely dissatisfied. I ordered slice of white pizza and it was terrible. The crust was too hard, the pizza was cold, the taste was off. It was disgusting. The pizza tasted old, as if it was made yesterday. Not to mention they charged me $5.00 for that slice. I don't even notice that the sign outside the door had a "grade pending" rating. I recommend no one eat here. My stomach hurts. If I could I would give a zero stars but it doesn't allow me too. Horrible experience. Eat somewhere else.

No bullshit I went here about 3 times only cause it was close by but after I saw two big rats the size of cats playing tag in the kitchen when I looked at the back from the front counter ...never again !!! this place needs to be shut down
