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.

I've been a loyal patron of this establishment over 20 years. I've got all my friends and family…read morehooked on their food. The best cheesesteaks and onion rings around. I've never got a bad order until tonight. Normally I would not write a review, I would call and ask what happened, I thought that was a good course of action. I was surprised. So I went from a 5 star patron to a three star, this is why. My cheesesteak had no cheese and very little onion basically it was just meat. Now though it's not what I'm used to to from them I would not have said anything had my phone call been handled differently with an appropriate response. Instead This is what I was told well your order was made just right you got one with meat only one with cheese and onion! Excuse me ma'am I did not get cheese on my sub I promise you, I was just wondering if you had a new cook? No you just can't see the cheese there's only two pieces on a small sub. Ma'am apparently I can't taste the cheese either nor the onions. Well it's there it's just melted. Ma'am I assure you I've been eating these for 20 years I know what your delicious cheesesteaks are. Well it's there you got what you ordered. For that reason I'm rating this visit a three. The meat was flavored well just no onions no cheese. I was going to rate it a two, however everybody makes mistakes and I know he just put the same meat only on both subs. I took off two stars for very poor customer service in handling my call. I was very polite in calling just to make them aware, I told her this was the first time ever I was not satisfied but instead of a apology make a discount on my next purchase anything to take accountability she turns it around on my ordering. Not good business practice in my opinion. It will be a while before I rave to my friends drive from Seminole drive from Pasco it's worth it you won't be disappointed. Can't say that now. It's also cash only. Thanks sorry Delco's you blew this one. My kid orders weekly meat only not a fan love the original cheesesteak.

We adore the cheesesteaks at another local spot, but people were telling us we had to give Delco's…read morea try because they are THE place for cheesesteaks around here. The cheesesteak: wonderful. Less cheesy than our other spot. The roll (they ship them in from Philly) was my favorite part! Fries were great! Service: awesome. The woman ringing us up heard us say we were going to share a large one so she suggested we could each order our half our own way. They have an abundance of topping options. She then came and checked on us later as we ate as well. Ambience: lots to look at here. A ton of sports and Philadelphia-related memorabilia. It's a retro, super casual atmosphere. Bustling. I like that sort of place. Overall, I think we will still have our original favorite more often, mostly because it is within walking distance. But if we are over in that area, we would definitely do Delco's again!

My wife and I needed a quick dinner and Leftys Cheesesteaks happened to be located in the plaza…read morewhere our last errand was. Off to the side of Publix, past the liquor store, stands this quick service cheesesteak place. I haven't had a good cheesesteak in a while. I went to school in Philly and have grown to love this meat and cheese sandwich from the city of Brotherly love. Leftys has majority of their locations in Detroit. One in Cleveland. Then two in Florida. One is in Tampa and the other in Brandon. The set-up is simple. You order at the counter. They have a few tables but this is mostly a take-out place. There was a tv with sports on and one other couple eating. We placed our order right away. I got Sam's Cheesesteak. I ordered it large which cost $15. The sandwich was loaded with meat, cheese sauce, grilled onions, green peppers, mushrooms and white American cheese under it all. This cheesesteak was hefty. The meat, cheese and veggies all melded together and made a pretty decent sandwich. A little crunch from the peppers, the meat was savory and the cheese covered everything. This was good but I felt it was pricey considering it didn't come with a side. My wife ordered the Buffalo Chicken hoagie. This was covered with chopped breaded chicken, buffalo sauce, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and ranch. It had a kick and my wife said it was pretty good. This at the regular size was priced at $12. Filling, fresh, meaty, greasy, tasty. If you're looking for a cheesesteak, check out Leftys.

Every time I order from here it's fast, fresh, and tasty! I love the cheesesteak and the mozzarella…read moresticks.
