If you're looking for legit wood-fired pizza in Brandon, Pizza Rock is absolutely worth a stop. I ordered The Butcher's Pizza and the first thing that stood out was the crust--crispy on the bottom, chewy in the right way, and cooked perfectly. They're using a New York-built wood-fired oven with a rotating turntable, so the pizza is constantly moving while it cooks, and you can taste the difference. The cheese melts evenly, the edges get that beautiful fire-kissed char, and the whole pie has that true fire-roasted flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The experience inside was just as good as the food. The restaurant is extremely clean, there's a ton of space (great for families or groups), and the staff was super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They took time to talk with me and shared the Brandon location opened in 2018, and that they had to complete special training/certifications to even qualify to buy and operate that oven. You can tell it's a family-run business with real pride and passion behind what they're doing. Even the pizza box is a cool touch--nice branding and attention to detail. Only small critique: I just wish The Butcher's Pizza had a little more topping coverage. Flavor was great just could've used a bit more "loaded" factor for a butcher-style pie. Overall: solid pizza, amazing crust, great people, and a clean, welcoming spot. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pizza was delicious and came quickly. They have a wood-fire pizza oven and all the delicious ingredients. They did 3 styles of pizza, one style was Neapolitan that they called Brooklyn Old World style, then there was New York style, and they also do Detroit style. We will definitely come again when in area. read more

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and wanted to get pizza the night before. I found this spot and oh my goodness it was delicious! The order came out quickly and the service was super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the vibe of the place and if we lived closer it would definitely become a weekly staple for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Pizza was really good. Ordered what we wanted and crust was just the way we like it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was a little loud but playlist of old hits was a throwback - kinda fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was as expected. Will return when in the area. read more

We got a New York Style pepperoni pizza to go. The pepperoni was really good quality and the crust was nice and crunchy and crispy.

Why, oh why, did I wait so long to come back?! It was time for another delicious piece of the rock. (Those of us of a certain age are now humming the old Prudential Insurance commercial) Admittedly, it's been a couple years since we've been here. They've painted outside and in, but it's still cozy and has the "local favorite feeling"... and we somehow ended up in the same booth. It was a Thursday afternoon, between lunch and dinner, so it wasn't busy. The plan was simple: thin crust pepperoni and that amazing Marty's salad. It's heavenly-and huge!!! (I wish I could say I had leftovers for days, but I couldn't leave it alone once I got home!) [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoy this place: service is personable and prompt, the food is excellent, everything is so clean, casual and welcoming inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I need to become a regular. It's conveniently located near Brandon hospital, with a parking lot right out front. Somehow, we've always been here at "off" times of day-but I'll bet it's super busy on weekend nights. It should be! This place is gooood. Hope to see you there! read more

The pizza came out looking great, but the crust was a bit tougher than expected and leaned more chewy than crisp. The flavors were fine, just not as bold or memorable as I thought they'd be given the hype. Service was friendly but a little stretched thin, so everything took longer than it should have. read more

Had a supreme pizza and pepperoni pizza New York style it was the best we have had since leaving NY 5 years ago Oh and their Anti Pasta salad was the best. read more

Had a birthday party with 19 people. Had great service and great food. Everyone had a good time.

We stopped in this past Saturday night (3/28) for dinner. What a cool place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor grabbed our eye as there was plenty of rock memorabilia to catch your eye.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was outstanding. We started with a Chop Salad. It was fresh, tasty and huge! We followed up with a sausage and pepperoni pie. It's likely the best pizza we've come across since we moved to Florida. Our server, Dakota, was extremely prompt, attentive and friendly. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. You just don't find that kind of service anymore. I liked how she was sincere with inviting us to come back and dine with them again. Thank you for making our "date night" one to remember. We will be back. read more

We didn't even end up ordering pizza as it was over $50 for one single pizza absolutely ridiculous. I have no idea why this was so expensive.. better be the best damn pizza in the world for that price read more

When its pizza time it is off to Pizza Rock. Don't waste your time anywhere else. 5-Star all day every day!!! read more

Great experience for our family: salads, pizza, meatball sub, wings, all excellent flavors, generously sized to boot. And our server Ashley was excellent! Highly recommended... read more

So this establishment is so special to me in my heart. They have the best employees in the pizza industry and I mean that how I say it. I'm a pizza fan and have had them from Texas, North Carolina and Florida is say is the best place to get a ninja slice. I prefer locally owned business over franchises anyway but support whatever business avenue it might be. Come and visit this special spot in my heart. Mama mia! read more

Pizza had a nice crispy crust but too much spicy pepperoni and not enough cheese. The garlic bread was on a good chewy bun it was too garlicy and they hardly buy any cheese on top (see picture). These guys cut corners with the lack of cheese. Not nice for paying premium prices for their items. read more

There are only two pizza places in Florida that deserve 5 stars and Pizza Rock is one of them. Pizza Rock has become one of our go to places to eat with friends. The service is ALWAYS great. The pizza is as good as it gets in our area. They have a good variety and the Fig and the Pig is one of my favorite anywhere. All this pales in comparison to Marty's chopped salad. Seriously, when is the last time you heard of a pizza place people will go to just for the salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love being able to see the pizza oven as they cook up your pizza pie.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is comfortable. Nothing spectacular, but I don't expect spectacular from a pizza place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I want somewhere where it feels a bit like home, where friends can talk and enjoy good food. That is exactly what Pizza Rock is[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I now have one complaint and almost deducted a star for it. They switched to Pepsi from Coke. Love Coke with pizza and now I can't have it. Might affect how much I go there. read more

Looking for pizzerias in the Brandon area, we wanted to try something new, and the reviews convinced us to give this place a shot. We don't regret it! We ordered the Arugula Bianca pizza, and it was delicious: thin, crispy crust with a flavor just as we had imagined. We opted for takeout, and both the process and the service were excellent. We also tried the cheesy bread... wow, wow, wow! It was amazing. We'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

We had met some friends to watch the Christmas parade downtown Tampa and were considering getting pizza down there but wanted to include the fiancée of the friend who was working in Brandon so we looked for someplace new in the area to try. We landed on Pizza Rock and were blown away by the food and service. We tried a few appetizers (wings/meatballs/garlic cheesy bread/mozzarella sticks) and both groups each got a pizza. Everything we got was delicious and the waitress was attentive and quick. It was so good that we have ordered take out since the visit and even bought a pizza to take to family to try. This will definitely become a go to spot for our family! The ambiance was a little dark but comfortable and welcoming - music theme around the restaurant and typically seating for a pizza place read more

Pizza Rock is my go-to for brick oven-fired pizza in Tampa. The Fig & Pig is seriously amazing, and The Mobster is a close second. I usually do pickup, so I can't speak to the dine-in service, but every time I've gone in, the kids at the counter have been super friendly and welcoming. read more

Ordered Meatball appetizer nice big meatballs with marinara and cheese, a cheesesteak sub and pig and the fig pizza. Everything tasted great. The only draw backs alcohol options are very limited a couple different beers and red or White House wine, server was a little slow on refills. read more

We went back to Pizza Rock after not going for several months and it was an amazing experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean, atmosphere fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was friendly, attentive, the beer cold and the food was out quickly. The pizza was perfect. Great crust, sauce, cheese and the pepperoni was excellent. My wife had the arugula salad and it was a flavor bomb and enough for us both to enjoy. The new ownership made a good restaurant better. We quit going because our previous two visits were less than satisfactory. We'll definitely be back. read more

All good on every level. Pizza is exsordinary, Brooklyn/Manhattan all good, get one of each. I have also had catering done for a Sweet 16, excellent read more

We enjoy d the chopped Italian salad, the half portion was huge, enough for many to share. The cheese pizza was simple and good. My nephew also enjoyed the cheese bread and boneless wings. Overall, really good experience. read more

Outstanding pizza and a great bar atmosphere. Came here late on a Friday afternoon. Ordered a pepperoni pizza NY style. Amazing crust, perfectly baked, delicious sauce which is savory AND sweet and a bit salty. The pepperoni is not spicy but has a bit of bite. And the cheese -- just the right amount. Perfection. One of the best pizzas I have had in the Tampa area for some time now. Fantastic service! read more

This was some of the best pizza I've eaten in my life, and I've lived in New York and know my way around some top quality pizza joints. We visited in May while on vacation and my kids still talk about how great the food was (pizza, wings, etc). We're heading to Orlando this fall, from Atlanta, and planning our drive to be able to go by Pizza Rock --the food is that good! read more

If I could give them a six star rating I would. First off it's an obscure location that's for sure. It's deceiving from the outside as well. The inside is bright and inviting with an array of seating choices (booth, table, high tops and bar seating. Service was great even with only ones server we saw. The menu and pizza choices do not disappoint. The mozzarella cheese bread appetizer was done really well. Great crust and covered in cheese with an excellent marinara sauce. The Butcher Pizza was huge and covered on multiple toppings. Done Brooklyn style it was flavorful and tasty with a real NY style crust. You really need to give this place a try if you want really well done pizza and appetizers. read more

Walked in for the first time and knew immediately this place was going to be legit. We weren't wrong. The vibe was perfect, very old school pizzeria with a modern touch. Great tunes and loved the booths. Pizza was amazing! Detroit style for me, Maui wowi for my husband and split an Italian chopped, the half is still huge. Love a place that when you add toppings, there's no searching for them, the Detroit had them under and over the cheese. We live in Tampa but with the drive to Brandon, can't wait to try the wings and the fig pizza. read more
