Simply the most authentic Italian pizza within 20 miles. Just found out there not answering most of there phone calls cause it's just the owner and his I'm guessing his pop trying to keep up with orders. So thankfully Roccos pizzeria is still open also guessing by a thread cause lack of people worrying about covid. Hope it's always in business cause we love it 100%.

Sometime in the '60s, or maybe even earlier, a family of Sicilians opened Roma's Pizza in East Gillespie. Some time in the '70s they moved to Macoupin St. And they moved again to another location on Macoupin St. at least a couple more times.Some time in the late '80s or early '90s, they went back to Sicily. And they sold their pizza restaurant which is still in business, right across the street from Rocco's. However, the pizza wasn't the same. It wasn't even close to what the Sicilians delivered.Some of the Romas' family are still operating a Roma's Pizza in Bethalto, IL. And their pizza is like the original Roma's in Gillespie—very good.I don't know exactly when Rocco's opened up, because I left Gillespie in 1994. But I go back to visit every now and then. And I discovered Rocco's. I talked to them, and I believe they said they was also from Sicily. And they knew the family that used to own Roma's Pizza here.I was pleasantly surprised with their pizza. It brought me back to the '60s—'80s Roma's, which had a unique and fresh flavor. All the old-timers in Gillespie know this flavor. Now Rocco's has it down pretty good. It might not be exact, because I'm sure that over the years, the base ingredients have changed. Such as flour; it's all hybridized and enriched with synthetic nutrients.Rocco's also has St. Louis style pizzas. So if you don't want to go to the nearest Imo's, you can get a damn good one here.Whenever I want pizza in Gillespie, I eat at Rocco's.

When did Rocco's get so crappy? Their pizza arrived cold & uncut & their breadsticks container was splattered all over their breadstick box when it arrived. Then the driver didn't have any change on her & expected me to give her a whole $40 for a $26 order. ?‍♀️ Oh my.. -5 / 5 stars. We'll be sticking with Roma's from now on.
