My boyfriend and I have been coming to Rocco's for about 6 years now. My personal opinion is that they have the absolute best, true NY style pizza in the Bronx. The crust is always perfectly crispy with just the right amount of cheese and flavor. Slices are also huge and still pretty cheap considering the other pizza spots in the area. (My boyfriend, who grew up on this block, tells the story of when a Rocco's slice was only $0.50 and he would stop in after school with his two quarters from after lunch. He tells this story literally every time we come here.) Eating in the restaurant is nothing special, typical pizzeria, but the tables are always clean, they always have pepper flakes, garlic, napkins, etc. and you cant beat playing a quick game of racing just for nostalgia's sake. We've also had their garlic knots (delicious!), their chicken wings (really good, breaded-type wings), and their patties (delicious and super, super hot). Overall this remains my favorite spot to grab a quick slice. It is definitely a staple of this community and the type of place that you can forget your wallet and they guy behind the counter says, "no problem, just get me next time!" I love Rocco's. read more

I ordered a large cheese pizza, and while it was acceptable, the quality was noticeably below what I remember from a few years ago. The cheese had an artificial, inexpensive taste, and the pizza was extremely oily. The dough was hard and lacked the texture I would expect from a well-made pizza. Considering the price, I expected much better quality. If you are looking for good New York pizza, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

Meal tasted good but ewwwww... somebody hold me back. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Restaurant don't look and feel clean, I mean it's a place where people are supposed to eat. I used an hour waiting for my order, I don't know why but he purposely made my meal and gave it to a person that came after me, I guess it's because we had the same order but it was my first time there and the guy was a regular, maybe it's cause I'm black too. Who knows ? That made me really mad. I felt so disgusted when I got my food and saw a live roach crawling out the foil while I was eating. Only God knows what else goes in the meal Poor!!! Very poor and I'm never going back there. My first and last time visiting Rocco whatever TF they doing there. So sad that the least star level is one. They don't deserve any!!! I'm sick already. Ewww read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

Dear Rocco's, We ordered a plain cheese pie at the request of my daughter who chose pizza as a reward for passing her math test. To our surprise what arrived at the door was We sacute, obtuse, AND isosceles triangle shaped slices of pizza glazed over with a fresh coat of shredded cheese and tossed in the oven for a minute to hide the tips of the slices that didnt match. Left over slices pies are disgusting. Chuck E Cheeses had to file for bankruptcy because they invented this exact move. Please delete this item from your menu. Zero stars on this particular order read more

I don't know what build-a-pizza place this is, but this shit looks like they took all their leftover unsold slices to make a pie. What type of chucks cheese bullshit is that. And they sprinkled and melted cheese on top just to make it look like a pie. I paid for a PIE! read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Patch work pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

their pies are made fresh on the spot. the flavor is 10/10 very good spot for pizza. highly recommend.

My go to place for pizza delivery in the area!Rocco's has THE BEST pizza... good crust (crispy, not too thick) with fresh ingredients; and their sausage & pepper roll is absolutely delicious + my personal fav! Delivery guy is friendly, and often arrives earlier than Slice's posted ETA. BRAVO! read more

Ordered a margarita pizza..... I was not impressed. I was very disappointed and dissatisfied with what I received. The pizza taste like a regular cheese pizza. This is the bootleg version of a margarita pizza. This is equivalent to the knockoff Gucci handbags sold on 42nd street but pizza version. I could keep going but I'm going to go cook something. read more

they make good pizza the meatlovers slice is the best thing they serve

This place is located a block away from the NY botanical garden. It has the old school loom of a nyc pizzeria. Nice big slices for an affordable price. They also serve pasta and have Italian ices. They also have some arcade games and 90s music videos playing on the tv. The only thing is they do need a better AC system bc its a bit hot. read more

The chicken tomato slice is DYNAMITE...yes, sounds simplistic, but there's just a particular way they do it which makes it absolutely delicious. Really crispy too. Good plain slice -- cheese has a sharpness to it which I like. Sauce is a tad sweet. Staff is super friendly, a really welcoming neighborhood establishment. Happy I discovered it! :) read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Plain Regular Slice of Pizza and chicken Chicken, Tomato and Onion Pizza slice (THE BEST!) - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

Rocco's Pizzeria you are absolutely awesome, I had a spectacular experience here yesterday. The look of this place is really nice. Each and every single thing that we ordered was extremely fresh and delicious. The team was really pleasant and service is awesome. Rocco's Pizzeria was great. read more

I would rather have 711 pizza over this pizza. Whatever sauce they use to make this pizza is horrible, and sauce is what makes the pizza. This pizza place is close to my job and i choose not to go there. I actually had it for the 1st time in years a few weeks ago(only because it was free) and it was terrible. My stomach was bothering me for the rest of the day. It's a shame because many years ago their pizza was pretty good, not sure what happened, maybe they changed owners. read more

This place is not bad at all for a pizzeria..I know weird for me starting of with that while giving three stars.. There pizza,powdered sugar donut and garlic knots were actually pretty good... But the staff it self are all over the place meaning I ask them for something or about to pay for something they would just walk away kinda rude and the seating area is not clean they should step out the kitchen at least one of the guys there should clean the area since there's three people working behind the counter one could just easily clean up the mess... Anyways the prices was good all that food I ate today was only five bucks which surprised me and put a smile on my face lol read more

I'm actually surprised I'm the first to review Rocco's, it's been around as long as I can remember. First off, it's a throwback pizzeria. When was the last time you remember arcade games being in a pizzeria? 80's? 90's? The slice itself is great. The crust is perfectly crispy, just the way I like it. It's a spot that really underated and when I'm in the area, I'm ordering up a slice...or 2. read more

The best thing about this pizza is the price. It's pretty cheap. I've never had anything else from this place. I work very close to Rocco's and don't go in unless I'm in complete desperation mode. I often question how clean it is. For the mediocre nature of the pizza, it's not worth the risk. I'm from upstate NY and this is the type of pizza you'd routinely get 100 miles outside the city. When I'm in city limits I expect better. That said, I used to eat their more often (circa 2008-2010) and didn't have any issues. I can't say the same for Carmine's across the street. Two of my co-workers ate their once and both got sick. As I said in a previous review, this neighborhood absolutely sucks for food. It's a shame considering that Fordham, Lehman, and the Garden are right near by. read more

It was decent pizza but the counter help was a little rude and the cleaning guy was mopping really close and the smell was crazy strong. I asked him if he could mop the other areas first since the smell was strong but he proceeded to tell me the cleaning solution wasn't strong at all and kept mopping. Eh it's average. read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Pizza fries and pattie - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

First off please do not order from Door dash, Ubereats or any other pizza delivery from this pizza shop. They do not seal their boxes closed with tape or anything which is so unprofessional, especially during this pandemic. I called them about this and both of the guys had an attitude and said "oh well, we do this for everyone". I ordered a Buffalo pizza pie from here and it was complete trash. It was literally dough drenched with ranch sauce and chicken. I couldn't even pick up the slice without a ton of sauce dripping everywhere, my daughter chocked when tasting this garbage and my husband threw up because of how much salt was in that thing.The sauce was not even good, I think they took big glass of ranch sauce and just dropped it on the pizza and put it in the oven. I felt like I was eating a horrible pasta dish not PIZZA. Now look at my picture and tell me if that looks like a pizza to you, smh. read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Buffalo pizza I guess - Pizza Near Me - Bronx, New York

I was in town for a funeral and staying at an inn that served no food. They, did, however provide us with menus for delivery. The pizza and antipasta salad were deliverd timely, price was inexpensive and the food was very good. A few nights later when we ordered the food was still tasty, but was delivered cold. I will probably never be in this part of the Bronx again, but if I was, I would not hestitate to eat here again. read more

I have two pizzerias on my block (they're right across the street from one another) and I have always chose Rocco's! Their pizza is delicious and their prices are reasonable! There are even cool arcade games you can play there. It definitely has an old-school Bronx vibe to it! read more

Not as good as it used to be ... but that's 'cause Rocco's not there anymore. I plan to stop by when I'm up in that neighborhood later this week and I'll write another review. Haven't been there in a few years ... last time was probably about 10 years ago. I'll see if they still have the table reserved for Rocco that was there last time I was up there. Back in the day me & my friend's would eat at Rocco's a couple of times a week. I had 2 friends who would split a whole pie between the two of them ..... and have a couple of calzones while they were waiting for the pie to cook! LOL. I remember how Rocco made these things call "hippy rolls" (a lot of other places called them "eppy rolls") but Rocco claimed to have invented them. It was sausage & peppers rolled up inside some pizza dough. Always one of my favorites. So next week I'll let you know how it is these days! PS - I saw somebody mentioned the video games ... I remember my friends spending about a million dollars in quarters at those games ;) read more

My review is actually centered on just the pizza itself. I'm not usually one to get pasta dishes at pizzerias, so I can't speak of how well Rocco's makes those traditional Italian dinner dishes. Regardless, if they make their main course dishes as well as they make their pizza, you can bet they'll be delicious. The pizza here is amazing. I grew up in the area, and ever since I was young, my parents and I would always stop in when we were on the way to the Botanical Gardens. But back to the pizza. I'm a firm believer in the idea that you can judge a pizzeria's overall pizza quality based on their plain slice alone. Well, I can honestly say that Rocco's has great pizza. They are very consistent, so you won't come in one day and get a dry piece, while on another you'll get a perfectly cooked, fresh piece. The cheese and sauce is always very good. I can think of a number of places somewhat nearby *cough* Jerome's Pizza *cough* that need to work on their consistency, but Rocco's has it down pat. They have NEVER overcooked a pizza that I have ordered. I once ordered their meatball pie, and it was the best meatball pizza I have ever had. The meatballs were real meatballs, not just ground beef, and they were sliced thin and then there was a dollop of sauce on each individual piece. It was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere at Rocco's is also a bit unique. Generally, the small private pizzerias tend to be pretty small establishments, with tiny seating areas that always feel cramped. Not so at Rocco's. Not only is it usually not crowded, but they have quite large floor space, so it makes it feel a bit more airy, and not like a typical shoulder-to-shoulder NYC pizzeria would. Overall, I really like Rocco's. Great pizza, convenient location, consistent, not too expensive, and plenty of seating. read more

I grew up - up the hill from this place on Marion ave and the corner of Bedford park blvd. I must say this place like Mikes ( Carmines ) across the street from it has changed alot over the last 30yrs ... ( yes I said 30yrs LOL ) I grew up eating from these 2 pizza places and have seen this place also go thru many remodelings ... but as the other gent who reviewed it mentioned ... they have arcade games and have for the last 30yrs ... I personally know Rocco and his son Nicky altho they are not owners of the pizzeria anymore when they did own it this place was a favorite of mine. Food is still great ( typical one of a kind NY Pizza ) and while waiting for your slice ( or pie ) you can play an arcade game ... read more

Heavenly Roccos. Consistently good regular slices and freaking delicious garlic knots. Guys behind the counter are nice. A slice and a can of soda is $3.50, which is an excellent deal, especially since the slices are so large. Only drawback is that they don't have a soda fountain - just cans/bottles. Oh, and the TV. I hate the TV. read more

need more stuff shells the guys here are kool one is a cranky head so he needs to be nicer over all the foods not bad read more

Worst place ever, the pizza is terrible and all the employees are really disrespectful

A friend and I were craving pizza for lunch after visiting the holiday train garden at the NYBG and found this place on our way back to the train. We ordered a large extra cheese pizza and it was delicious. The place is your typical nostalgic neighborhood pizza place, complete with a couple arcade games. It was very clean inside, the food selection plentiful, decently priced, and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I would definitely go back next time I visit the area. read more

Pizza was always ok at best. The prices are the best thing about the place. The ingredients did not always agree with me.

Found two hairs in my food, one in the marinara sauce and one in the eggplant parmesan... Disgusting.

nasty bake ziti not bake ziti i order for delivery wont buy again
