First time here
Pat M.

Since I was in Rockaway at lunch time today, I stopped at RJ's. This is a pizzeria which I've wanted to visit for a long time. It's conveniently located in a strip mall on Rt 46. The good news was that the 2 slices of plain were delicious! This is a nice thin crust that reminded me of pizza from Queens when I was a kid. It was also very reasonably priced at just $2 a slice. The one negative for me was that this was lunch time and the 2 slices on the counter were all there was to choose from. I would have liked to have seen what their speciality slices were like. RJ's is a place I'll definitely try again. Hopefully they'll be more of a selection next time.

Happiness is a warm slice of pizza! Inside, this place is spacious but cozy with checkered tablecloths, brick walls, and cute pizza quotes on the wall. Just inside the entrance, a board lists their tempting daily specials. By the counter, huge slices of about 8 kinds of pie wait ready to be reheated. I ordered Mama Nata's pizza which arrived freshly made and piping hot with a thin crust and square, topped with basil, mozz, garlic, and plum tomato sauce. Though the cheese sometimes slid off my slices, it was a pretty good pie that showcased obviously fresh ingredients. On another visit, I tried a slice of plain and a slice of Spinach/Ricotta/Mozz/Garlic and both really impressed me with excellent texture and flavor. I was actually full after the first slice but didn't mind having the second. All this good pizza left me ready for a nap and super happy. NOTES/TIPS: **Gender-neutral restroom. **Plenty of parking in a private shared lot. **Their menu's vast with several salads, subs, wraps, and seafood/pasta/chicken entrees. **I brought my own water bottle twice for dining-in around lunchtime and they didn't mind at all.

I didn't but I probably could

This is by far some of the Best thin crust style pizza around. They use only fresh ingredients and toppings here and you can tell in every flavorful bite. I tried the Supreme slice which I found to be 'out of this world'. The sauce is delicious and not acidic at all while the cheese has just the right amount of perfect melted goodness. The crust has a crispness to it and makes for an excellent foundation for this very delicious pizza. Service is extremely friendly and the dining area is above what you would find in any of the local pizzerias. Really cool and welcoming vibe going on with nice decor. They have a delivery service here as well which I'll definitely be checking out in the near future.

Huge pizza slice and gnocchi with pink sauce, basil and mozzarella

Have been working in Rockaway for about a year and was exhausted of the few options I knew of for lunch. After googling, I found RJ's was right down the road. We had the gnocchi lunch which came with a side salad or soup and 2 plain slices. I'm very picky when it comes to pizza but, the slices were HUGE and delicious. More of a thin crust pizza which isn't usually my favorite but, it was not super crispy so that was a plus in my book. The sauce was yummy and the cheese was real - not the artificial stuff a lot of places use now. The lunch gnocchi was a big portion and also delicious. Can't wait to try some more things off of the menu and maybe try the soup next time!

I went yesterday around 5:00 PM, and the line was nearly out the door. When I got to the hostess stand, I decided to order takeout. When I tried to order online through their website beforehand, the estimated wait was nearly 2.5 hours. However, when I placed my order in person, the total wait was only 15 minutes! I picked up my order of ziti with sausage and truffle sauce, and it was some of the best pasta I've ever had. I also ordered a side of garlic bread with pepperoni spread--that unique combination was absolute magic and totally addictive! Everything was packaged nicely, hot, and fresh, making for a very memorable meal. I will definitely be back for takeout again soon!

The positives: The person who answered the phone was pleasant and the wait time for pickup on a…read moreWednesday at 7p was only 15-20 minutes. The food was ready in time and hot when we got home (about a 10 minute drive). Everything was packaged well, they offer to go alcohol, and the service getting in and out was quick. There is ample parking next to the building in the lot and on the street. Quality/price: We placed a takeout order for the chicken Parmesan, rigatoni alla vodka and a half bottle of the red blend wine. The meals also came with four small pieces of Italian bread. I saw the pricing, but having never been here thought maybe the portions and quality justified the cost. My order was good, but not exceptional and I didn't feel the portion was anything generous that would justify the cost of $18, especially given it is a meatless meal (they charge extra to add things in, which I didn't opt for). VERY overpriced imo. My husband got the chicken parm and was not very impressed. There were a few bad spots in the chicken cutlet he had to cut out, and said he's had much better chicken parm at some of the other local Italian spots. It was ok, just not exceptional and the small portion did not justify the cost. I wasn't really sure what to expect with the wine, but gave it a try. The bottle was smaller than I thought it would be (375 ml/12.7 oz) for $16. I asked over the phone what it was exactly and she said it was a red blend. It's mediocre overpriced red table wine. If you like wine, I would recommend skipping it. I wish take out counters would stop forcing tipping. The lowest suggested on the receipt was another $8+. Before tip, the total was $55.44. With tip the check was over $60 for the three items we ordered + the complementary bread. This felt like a fast casual experience at sit down pricing. I'm glad we gave them a try, but seems very overpriced for what you get, especially given there are so many other fantastic places to get pasta in the area that are much more generous and well worth the cost. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

The staff is lovely, attentive without being overbearing, and helpful with recommendations or things to try. All the food is fantastic but what we got this night was: - Calamari (forgot to take a photo it was so good), which are large rings lightly battered accompanied by a gravy boat size holder of spicy marinara sauce. - Special: Homemade meat lasagna - MASSIVE and covered with lots of meat sauce. Unless you have a bottomless pit of a stomach, you will be taking half of this home. - Special: Chicken pecan - unique and fantastic. Two large pieces of chicken along with mashed potatoes and broccoli. - Chicken parm- the pro tip is to get it with vodka sauce instead of marinara. Trust me. You won't regret it. - Rigatoni Torino- their pink vodka sauce is the place to be so that with the peas and crumbled sausage is *chef's kiss*. As an FYI, they do have a gluten free pasta in case that's needed (it's only in penne form, if you care). Fantastic meal. Cherry on top that it's BYOB, so bring a couple of bottles and some friends, and you'll have a great night.
