4 reviews for Rocky's Pizzaria and Restaurant
3 stars is the most I'd give go a plain venue.***
I rate this place a 2.5 cuz their zeppolies turned tiny recently.
For a close by local pizzeria, Rocky's has very good pizzas. The pre-made n displayed for a sit-down order are usually generously filled with toppings.
Their zepoles:
which they usually always have on hand are oversized, delicious, and 5 for a buck. except recently when they turned into tiny little zeppolies.
***To be fair to other review readers such as myself, a venue would have to have something unique or extraordinary to get any higher than 3 stars; as I wouldn't want to go sending people out of their way just for a plain venue.
Sometimes eggplant in red curry and lame tofu starters make you get all crazy and shit. Sometimes it makes me want a suitably crappy NY slice.
Rocky's might be the quintessential Brooklyn counter, complete with giant pies, beef patties, gyros, and innumerable pix of Stallone. The neighborhood sucks, but the ambiance of the place is priceless. The pie is good, but make sure you don't get something that's not high volume. A fresh mozz and tom slice might be hours older than a regular cheese. We found that the spice shakers are nearly mandatory, but that's how NY pie is, I reckon. You'd think some restauranteurs somewhere would give two shits about their sauce.
Regardless, 5 zeppole for a buck will always make me forget about tomato sauce....
it's in a dump of a neighborhood so you have to give it some slack. the pizza is decent and worth getting a slice or two if you waiting at the carwash near by. a few people have told me the sauce gives them heartburn and avoid the place. i never had any problems with it. the owner is friendly and will chat you up. the staff is great and gets your orders out reall fast.
Great staff. Good pizza for being nearby. Not destination worthy, but if you're passing by, it's not going to make you sick.
...unless you're me. I am realizing after about a month of living nearby that the pizza's making me sick. Every single time I grab a slice, I walk home, and within an hour I'm sweating bullets in the commode. I'd stop going, but it's the best pizza shack in the neighborhood. It's cheap. And the 15 mins of pain gives into my bulimic tendencies.
