I'm a young Rockford native on a quest to find the best pizza in Rockford, for all places I'll be trying a plain cheese pizza to be as unbiased as possible.The pizza was all around excellent. The sauce was sweet, but not overly. The amount of cheese was perfect, not too much, not too little, and was not greasy. I'm pretty picky about pizza crust, but this was possibly my favorite crust of any pizza I've ever had, not doughy and not too hard. All aspects of the pizza compliment each other and blend together very well. Aside from the pizza, Nick was a great guy and pleasure to give my business to. The price is also unbeatable, 9$ for a large pizza. Places like this are what make Rockford great and seeing as Gulotta's is the first place I tried for this experiment, the rest of the pizza places in Rockford will be up against some stiff competition.

Nick is the best! So so nice, friendly and welcoming. Best pizza in town! Homemade fresh pizza dough every day! Mama Gulotta’s homemade pasta sauce is also fantastic. Been getting pizza and pasta at Gulotta’s for over 33 years same recipe and delicious taste EVERY TIME. Feel blessed to have Nick as part of our family for so long.

I have been coming here for 40 years and it still taste as remarkable as it was when I was 5. Every A I got a Gulotta's pizza and he made a bunch of pizzas for me.. My analysis is 9.9.... 10 on the crust, it is made with a special recipe with sweet dough that has a solid crunch all around 10 on the sauce, the keystone of the pizza... tastes as fresh as can be, to include the fact he does not skinch on the sauce, which also has a sweet taste - 9.9 on the cheese, he makes his own blend that completely makes the pizza In the end, I have had pizza all over the world . This is my favorite pizza in the area a, from that, the county And outside the country ! I compare Every pizza to this one it would be Bert's Best pizza in all Rockford hands I would love to see @davePortnoy try this mine is a 9.9z!!

I'm pretty particular about my pizza. I remember the big deep dish pizzas you waited for hours for in cramped little Chicago restaurants. I honestly have lived here my entire life and my husband and friends all raved about Gulotta's but I have never tried it, mostly due to my work schedule, etc. Tonight I just called and ordered. From the "Hello", Nick was so friendly and asked if I had ever ordered before, we chatted, I ordered, I came a little early. He is a one man show, prepares all day and fills orders at night. my pizza was amazing and hot and fresh and doesn't taste like any pizza I've ever had and that's kind of awesome. The waiting area is clean and bigger than I thought it would be. You can chat with Nick while he's preparing your food. The price was very reasonable and he even opened the door to make sure I got safely to my car. Food is only one part of the reason I give repeat business. I appreciate kindness and friendly service. Gulotta's is the whole package! I'll be back soon, Nick! Thank you!

While visiting my parents we ordered lasagna and garlic bread. It was the best ever! Perfect combination of meat, pasta, cheese and sauce. Already use and love Gulotta’s Pasta Sauce too. Nick is so awesome!
There are several good pizza recipes in Rockford but Gulotta’s pizza stands out among all others; not only in terms of authentic flavor and fresh ingredients but in heart and soul. There’s more to a good pizza pie than what’s on the surface. I was 14 when I first had the Gulotta pizza experience. I’ve lived in Chicago for 22 years, and eaten scores of pizzas from different restaurants. Gulotta’s been at it for 45 years and it’s continues to be top tier in my book. Thanks to Gulotta’s for their undeniable heart and soul and one of the best pizzas ever.

Only reason I am giving it a 5 star is because they don't deliver. I LOVE their pizza. Nick is a great guy, who is the owner.
