I pulled up a pizza place with top rated reviews near me and this popped up. The only thing that I noticed is that it has two different names so I wasn't sure if I ordered from the right place when the food got delivered. It came up as ZZ pizza on Google, but also showing as hot rocks pizza so that was a little confusing. Other than that, the food was amazing! I'm not sure if there are real Italians in that kitchen or what but they are doing their thing! We enjoyed it. It was so fresh. It was a Saturday night when I placed the order for Delivery, but they ended up being at the front door in less than 20 minutes, which was a great surprise! This was our first time ordering from them. We will definitely be ordering again when we are in the area in town visiting again.

Steve and Red were amazing and was so friendly! Great personality and great food! Definitely stop by for a slice for lunch!

Hot Rocks Fries
Ashley S.

We ordered through UberEats...baked ziti, baked spaghetti, regular spaghetti, and hot rocks fries. The fries were decent...reminds me of Popeye's fries, for comparison. The pastas were just so poorly executed that I don't even know where to start. The sauce was super watery, lacked Italian seasoning, no meat present at all, large pieces of tomatoes that weren't cooked down enough. The pasta was at least al dente, but overall all of the pasta was unappealing and unappetizing. For the baked pastas, same thing...just noodles and watery sauce covered in melted mozzarella cheese. I checked reviews first, and someone said the baked pastas just aren't good. Unfortunately, I have to concur. I mean, some Italian seasoning would help a little, but I've never had baked ziti or spaghetti with no meat or sauce so watery. 2 stars is generous, but to be fair, the fries weren't bad, and the pasta noodles were at least Al dente, so I'll give credit where it's due. The garlic knots weren't bad either, but 3 out of the 6 were burnt. I've also had pizza here before, and it wasn't bad, but please either improve the sauce recipe or reconsider serving pasta, period.

Hot Rocks fries, garlic parm winga
Carolyn S.

A little place that's just off Memorial Highway, but they more than get the job done! Although I've never had their pizza (though I intend to eventually) I really love getting their wings and fries delivered. My go-to with them is definitely their chicken wings and their hot rocks fries. Why??? Well...because wings and fries, what else. But what brings the fries the edge is that the fries are seasoned with Old Bay and it's accompanied with an incredible white cheddar cheese sauce. Delicious!! You do get more than enough cheese sauce for the fries. The wings themselves are great, I always get bone-in, and there's always plenty of meat on it. the garlic parm goes great with the Hot Rocks Fries. Service here is pretty good. Their always nice on the phone when you need to call them for anything. They're perfect for a cozy night in.

Very tasty pizza and garlic knots for take out. The staff was very friendly and gave me a free order of bread sticks for taking a survey.

cheesy garlic bread appetizer

amazing food! sweetest staff! was able to get it delivered and it was still freshly hot!

Hours of operation.

The food is great and the prices are reasonable. This location is primarily a take out location although there are a few tables outside if the weather is pleasant. The staff is friendly and attentive. Depending on the time of day there may only be one or two working so if they are busy just be patient as the food is worth it.

1/2 of a Stromboli inside a small pizza box

Don't let the promise of 6% cash back from GetUpside fool you! You will need to upload your receipt but they don't print the last 4 digits of the card you used on the receipt so you won't get the cash back. That out of the way...their store is barely "standing room only", so takeout/delivery only. They are located up about 4 or 5 steps, so, if you have mobility issues, or just don't do stairs as gracefully as you would like, this might be an issue, especially if you are trying to go down the stairs with a pizza box in your hands. There is a wheelchair ramp, but it is at the way far side of the strip mall from here. However, they do have spots outside marked for carside delivery which is very convenient. I called in my order for a meat lover's Stromboli so I could pick it up on my way home from work. I arrived and discovered they made the wrong flavor. They quickly made the correct one for me and off I went to share the bounty with Hubster. First thing I noticed was the (overwhelming) smell of garlic. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE A VAMPIRE!! Once I made it home, I cut it in half and prepared to package Hubster's half so he could take it to work. The crust is tender, yet chewy, which is wonderful. Lots of cheese and meats and garlic. Very filling! The full size is perfect for 2 people to share, or, they offer BOGO Stromboli and Calzones on Sundays as a weekly special. There is a 3% surcharge for using a card to pay, if that is important to anyone. So. Now the big question...would I come back? They are very conveniently located, they offer carside delivery so I don't have to navigate stairs with a pizza box, and I do like their crust. Maybe next time I will see what their pizza is like...

You see it the hot rocks Italian sub

The Food got two itialian grinders hot got two shrunk up microwaved to death things with no onion, no tomato or oil and vinegar just a hard shrunk bun with three slices of meat ...no thank you ill spend my 39.85 at another establishment if they can't even get a sub right.

You can see that it's not cooked

Their baked pastas just aren't good. It's like they put the least bit of effort into making a decent pasta, baked or not.

My friends recommended this restaurant to me and I had a great time. It's a hidden gem in…read moreCarrollwood. My group and I tried the cheesy bread that was just okay. The pepperoni and monte cristo pizzas and were so good! I love wood fired pizza. We also tried a few of the pastas and they tasted authentic. I'd definitely eat here again. The service was welcoming and friendly. There's interior and exterior seating. They had tv screens playing of places in Italy that was a nice touch.

Went in with high hopes given the 4.5 rating, but unfortunately this visit fell short…read more Service was a real issue -- our waitress took our order and then seemed to disappear for the rest of the night. No drink refills, and we had to flag someone down just to get our check and to-go boxes. We started with a Caesar salad after finding out the octopus carpaccio (which we were excited to try) had run out -- the salad was fine but pretty unremarkable. We also ordered the Montecristo pizza with burrata, which looked great in theory, but the burrata was not evenly distributed -- piled onto one side, leaving the rest of the pizza bare. The crust itself was floppy with no real flavor -- no standout sauce or seasoning. Honestly, I think I could make a better pie at home on my Gozney. Our friends weren't impressed either -- the lasagna was underwhelming, and the cheese pizza they ordered (with a request for extra cheese) came out with no extra cheese at all. Disappointing overall, especially given the price point and the reviews. Might try again someday to see if it was an off night, but not in a rush to go back.

Took my daughters downtown yesterday and the two women working here were really nice to us. The…read morepizza was really good too; the artichoke and mushroom slices were huge.

Great place to grab a quick bite…read more We were at the children's museum and got hungry so we decided to walk the short block to grab a bite here. It was at around 11:30 on a Tuesday, and we were the only ones here when we first arrived. Later a ton of people started coming, so I think we just beat the rush. I'm glad that more people showed up, because this is a great spot. Service was really attentive and she checked in on us a good amount of time. Future Christina, your older son will eat the garlic knots, which were actually delicious. It says they are homemade and I also could not stop eating one, and I generally avoid carbs. He did not eat a lot of of the pepperoni pizza he wanted, they do not have a kids menu, but if you ask, there are things they can make kid sizes like the pasta. The personal pizza is the smallest they go. I got eight wings with a side of fries, because my son also wanted fries. He did eat a good amount of the fries, so next time I think I would just get him garlic knots and fries. I'm on a high protein diet, so the wings were great. I got the garlic Parmesan sauce on the side and a side of blue cheese. The garlic Parmesan was OK, but the blue cheese was delicious, I would definitely get it again. My dad got a pepperoni pizza and said it was quite crispy, he liked it. Overall, I enjoyed our meal here and I would definitely come back.
