Solid pizza spot with heroes, calzones, pasta and various entree options. They have a lunch special from 11:30a to 3p, 2 plain slices and drink for $6.50. Very NYC
While walking back to Penn station, I stumbled upon Rocco's pizza. The chicken pizza was quite tasty, but could've used slight more sauce, 7/10. My ultimate favorite was the grandmas pepperoni Sicilian. It tasted absolutely delicious, so delicious I had to buy another 10/10. If I lived close by, this would be my go to pizza spot.
Stopped in here while walking down the street to Empire Cake. Any time there is a slice house I am more than game with swinging in and grabbing a few. Not a large area - but for grab n go and a few tables inside and outside. They weren't busy as it was right after the lunch crowd. The guy working took our order and got us in and out quickly. We shared a grandma (square with pepperoni) as well as a margherita slice. Both were VERY GOOD. Arguably the two best slices of the weekend. Dough was fresh, proper bake on each, and fresh tasting ingredients. I noticed they also had pasta options as well, so this could be a fallback if in the area and reservations elsewhere falls through.
My friend and I came to NYC to catch a show at Racket NYC and stumbled upon this place. So happy we did. Small place with limited seating, maybe for 16 people. If that's the case then grab a couple of slices to go. I had a fantastic Greek salad which had tons of feta, Kalamata olives and a tasty house dressing. I also had a Grandma Slice of pepperoni. Cupped pepperoni! Perfection! My buddy had a couple of Grandma Slices as well with the whole wheat and said it was delicious. We shared an order of garlic knots and I don't know if it is legal to walk out of here without getting them. Plenty of soda choices including Jarritos. They do have more than pizza on the menu and will probably try an entree next time I am in the Chelsey District.
Good place to go for the lunch special. Don't expect anything fancy or mind blowing. Two mediocre slices and a can of soda for $6.50 - which is a pretty great deal in the city. The restaurant is clean and cuter than you expect it to be. Small, with a few tables and chairs should you choose to eat there. The cashier will act less than thrilled that you have decided to visit the establishment, but consider it part of the New York ambiance. Very important note: the lunch special begins at 11:30am. Avoid like the plague from 11:30am-12:30pm on weekdays. There are schools nearby and the entire place gets overrun with loud tweens and teens. Nightmare fuel, for real. Otherwise, drop in and enjoy a cheap bite to eat.
The food here was pretty good for a first visit but the slices were deff a must with the variety as well ( kiss the fingers). The service was quick an easy didn't have to struggle on ordering anything. It was also decorated like something out of a small Italian spot not like a pizzeria but more of a small villa on the coast but then you look out the window and it's the big apple. For a person who's always on the go for a few slices was deff a must go deff gonna order else be prepaid es for a star update after the second visit
Small place with limited inside seating, making takeout the option that day. Luckily, I've done delivery twice and their pizza travels well. Unlike a lot of other places, they don't skimp on the toppings because you order more than one. I worked in a pizzeria during college, making thousands of pies...so I have some experience to make that statement. Some restaurants spread the ingredients further out to increase the profit margin, which negates your enjoyment. They'll say it creates a better visual, which it BS...it's $ they're looking at. Some alleged foodies have bought that BS and spread "the visual" perspective on their reviews and social media. You can prefer plain cheese pizza because it's a taste preference, and we all have them...but show me someone who orders toppings on a pie and doesn't want said toppings in each bite, and I'll call fraud. Pizza is a guilty pleasure food. Look at the pie and you can see Rocco's philosophy on pizza; pepperoni cups filled with unctuous spice and chunks or unsymmetrical balls of ground Italian sausage. I haven't had the opportunity to eat table-side there yet, but if it gets to your home in a box this good, fresh out of the oven on your table has to be better. Cheers
Standard cheap NYC pizza. Tastes like all the other pizza shops. Their Grandma slice looked fantastic and I wish I had gotten that instead.
This grandma slice is the best slice in New York City . If you are looking for great slice . This is place to be good drinks and great food
I can't believe I didn't get a picture of this pizza but I vote the cheese slice here too be the best in New York or had the crispness, the sauce the cheese!! Enriching delicious you can think of was there. Keep it up Roccos!!
My favorite "pizza joint" in the city, well at least in Chelsea. Your typical slice, or pie, done right. Really nothing to complain about as a slice goes. I'm in this neighborhood quite a bit and stop in whenever I need something quick and don't want to think too hard about where to go. Delivery is also very good if you're in their zone.
My friend and I stopped by for a quick dinner after a dance class and had a great experience. The menu has a lot of fun options, like pasta, grandma slices, and more. I chose the ground meat pizza and it was delicious. The shop itself is cozy with just a few seats, and it's mostly self-serve--you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. It really felt like a classic New York experience. read more
After a long night of walking around the city all I wanted was a couple of slices of pizza before heading back home to Jersey. I stumbled upon Rocco's Pizza and it gave me a little cozy vibe which I was looking for after walking around in the cold. I decided to dine in because they have some seating available. I decided to get the Sicilian grandma pepperoni pizza and another slice that I unfortunately can't remember the name. Out of the two slices I tried the Sicilian grandma pepperoni pizza was the best. The other slice was OK, but it wasn't as memorable as the grandma pepperoni pizza slice. The tomato sauce as well as the pepperonis they use are very tasty. If you happen to pass Rocco's pizza I say get yourself a Sicilian grandma pepperoni slice. read more

Listen, there's a lot of pizza places around this area, but this place tastes the cake for the best vodka slice. This is the best slice. I've had in a very long time 10 out of 10. Highly recommend kiss the Chef on the mouth. read more

Everyone will tell you why their pizza spot is the best and why you HAVE to go there but we stumbled upon Rocco's after escaping a WAY too crowded Chelsea Market and now I'll tell anyone who will listen about it. Super cute little spot, indoor and outdoor seating available and comfortable. The pizza is my favorite in NY and I think I've tried most of them at this point, ha! Great NY style pizza without the tourist fuss and fan fare. The perfect neighborhood spot. read more

Amazing cortados, if you're into that late night cafe with pizza and coffee- you won't be disappointed! read more
This review for lunch is long overdue. My food travels take me to Rocco's as the logo appears very 1950's Retro, yet the inside is far from being Retro. One sausage Calzone $6.50 (includes sales tax) + waiting for fifteen eternal minutes = indigestion for three hours!! I waited for a very long time for my order to be heated which the server never called out my order's name nor alerted me that it is ready for pickup. OKAY, so I stood in front of his face to attain my order!! Overall, the sausage Calzone was extremely greasy and dripping with oil. There was so much Ricotta cheese everywhere and only two measly pieces of sausage which was skimmed and dupe for quality. A takeout menu is available which my copy has immediately been discarded. Why does anyone want greasy food to clog the arteries, increase blood pressure and spike one's cholesterol level?? Minimal seating is available. No facilities are available for customers. No written sales receipt is produced. Staff are impersonal and callous. read more

Alright Frankie, we're here at Rocco's Pizza Joint in Chelsea. There was no NYC flop to this pizza. One bite everyone knows the rules. I was looking for a quick slice of pizza before heading to a local speak easy. Rocco's was open and pretty empty. It makes me believe they do a decent amount of take out from here. I got a margarita slice - I would rate this a 6.2. Not the worst, but also not the best. There was A LOT of oregano on this slice. The crust was very crunchy. A specialty slice was $4.00. They have a few seating options, can fit about 15 people? If you're looking for something quick it's a good option. read more

I ordered a large 18 inch pizza for takeout over the phone-- half pepperoni and half mushroom. When I went to pick up my pizza, I was charged for 2 toppings ($3.50 each). I was confused since I just got half and half and assumed that counted as one topping. The cashier told me that even though I got half, it counted as two toppings and that I would have been better off getting both toppings on whole pizza and it would have been the same price. What?! Is this normal pizza topping protocol? I have NEVER heard that logic before and was sorely disappointed in this practice and let them know they should notify the customers when they are ordering that this is how they will be charged. I was not quoted a price when I placed the order and if I had been, would have changed the order. An additional few bucks isn't going to kill me, but this practice is not cool. The pizza was decent, but I will not be a repeat customer. read more

Came here about a month ago after an open bar social media event. Go figure. I'm also behind, I know. BUT Stephy and I were drunk, per usual, and on the hunt for oddly sushi I think at the time in Chelsea. But the place she was thinking of had shuttered. We were having no luck and ran into this. They have an A rating (mega bonus). They even sell pasta. Okay! But between the two of us we split just a regular slice of sausage/cheese and a cheese calzone. Shockingly actually pretty good. The calzone was really excellent and served with tomato sauce on the side. Both warm and filled to the brim with ricotta and a nice crust that wasn't too thick and or doughy. Also, pretty cheap. If I were drunk and again in the neighborhood I would definitely remember this spot! read more
Howdy Yelpers. Please join me in my campaign to rename Rocco's Pizza Joint "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Slice." My point? You won't remember the experience. There's nothing terribly wrong with the pizza, but nothing quite right about it either. Feel free to choose your favorite slice from their unremarkable selection of forgettable combos. Try to crack the steely indifference of the three dudes who make the pies. (My money's on the dudes!) Trust me: upon stepping back out onto 7th Avenue, the meal will be erased from your memory. Permanently. I gotta admit, though --- I find myself intrigued by Rocco. Who is he? What makes him tick? Why is he never around? Why is his pizza bitch-slapped by DiGiorno's frozen? So many questions, so few answers. read more
I walk past this place all the time and finally came here Saturday afternoon for a hangover slice of pizza. Worked wonders, felt significantly better after, maybe not a direct correlation but hey. They have a few good whole wheat options like grilled vegetable or broccoli rabe sausage pizza. I opted for the former. Delicious but quite greasy. They advertise gluten free options outside but it's only available if you buy the entire pizza. Besides pizza they've got Salads, garlic bread, lasagna, calzones and some chicken dishes. Nice quaint place, just wish pizza was less greasy. I'll probably come back when the craving strikes again. read more

Came here last night on a whim with Ingrid S. after attending the Lollpalooza of career fairs last night. We were on a professional mini-bender and in desperate need of noms. Cheesy noms. As per usual, neither of us were craving anything in particular and nothing in the immediate neighborhood was looking particularly appetizing...we finally decided that we wanted cheesy...I was craving pasta...but Italian places in this hood are to be savored for more formal dinner plans - not for mini-bender munchies time. Pizza. YEAH, PIZZA WORKS AND THEY MIGHT EVEN SELL PASTA! I was sold. To be honest I would have gotten pasta here had they had something creamy inspired or preferably, freakin' Alfredo sauce. Between you, me and the billions of people that visit Yelp on a daily basis - I love Alfredo sauce. I can't get enough of the stuff. It's my spirit ani-sauce. It's my spirit sauce. But they do have regular tomato sauce pasta, lasagna, some salads, garlic knots and other rando Italian-inspired options on their menu - all reasonably priced. Between it looking clean, having a Department of Health "A" grade and smelling yummy inside we were sold on making this our home for the next 35 minutes. We ended up getting a cheestastic cheesy calzone (which came served with a small side and a slice of sweet, Italian sausage pizza. We went halfsies on both things and to be honest, both were actually quite decent. I would totally go back for that cheese calzone, it was cheesegasmic. read more
