Rocky's. Pizzeria & Restaurant

I would like to start saying that this place serves one of the best chicken salad on town. The reason to use one start is because I want to bring the owners attention. I just left because the attitude of one employee there.that makes me feel uneasy . First He greed me with that stupid actitud. They hHe started to yell other employees, even using my beautiful Spanish language.. I want to say the reason that I come back is because the guy who works there and do deliveries makes me an amazing salad the last time. And there is no reason to be treated like that. I stood up and left the place, not even finished my food. . I just want to say there is more professional people out there and qualified to perform . I hate to say this, but some Hispanic should change their actitudes, and that is the casa there. If the owner answers my review, I will personally go back and pay for the salad even when that p.o s. Make losses my appetite.

The pizza’s alright, but the place is nasty. Flies buzzing around, and everything’s sticky and gross. Clean up your act!

On a sun-drenched afternoon, Chris and his senior beagle, Dexter, embarked on one of their cherished outings from their cozy apartment. Despite Dexter’s age, he trotted alongside Chris with an exuberance that seemed to defy the years. His glossy coat glistened in the sunlight, and his eyes sparkled with a youthful gleam that matched his energetic steps.

Their destination was Rocky’s Pizzeria on Franklin Avenue, a beloved local gem renowned for its mouthwatering pizza. The park nearby was alive with activity—families picnicking, children playing, and dog walkers enjoying the beautiful day. Dexter’s tail wagged rhythmically, as if he were marching to a joyful tune, while he and Chris navigated through the lively park, their bond evident in every step they took together.

Rocky’s Pizzeria had a special place in Chris’s heart, not only for its delicious pizza but also for its nostalgic value. Chris fondly recalled visiting the pizzeria about 25 years ago, and it had been a favorite ever since. The place still held its charm, with the special offer of two slices and a can of soda for just six dollars. As they approached, the familiar aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the air, making Dexter’s nose twitch with excitement.

Inside, they were greeted by the warm, friendly staff. One of the college students, known for his fondness for dogs, spotted Dexter and immediately came over. “Hey, Dexter!” he said with a broad smile, bending down to pet the beagle and offer him a bowl of cool water. Dexter lapped up the water with a grateful gulp, his tail wagging like a metronome. “You still got it, buddy,” Chris joked, ruffling Dexter’s ears. Dexter’s eyes shone with a mix of appreciation and mischief, as if he were saying, “Of course I do!”

With their pizza and soda in tow, Chris and Dexter headed back to the park. They found a perfect picnic spot under a grand tree with long, cascading leaves and vibrant green grass. The nearby stream babbled gently, adding a serene soundtrack to their day. Chris spread out their picnic blanket, and Dexter, ever the enthusiastic helper, circled the blanket with eager anticipation.

An elderly lady strolled by, casting envious glances at their pizza. She couldn’t resist giving Dexter a friendly pat, and Dexter, being the charmer he was, accepted the attention with a contented wag of his tail. “I’m just here for the pizza,” Chris quipped, “but it looks like Dexter’s making new friends again!”

Sitting under the tree, Chris and Dexter enjoyed their pizza together. Dexter watched with rapt attention as Chris broke off small pieces of pizza and tossed them to him. Each bite was met with a delighted tail wag and a satisfied, cheesy grin. Dexter’s gaze, full of affection, never strayed from Chris. It was as if they were sharing not just a meal but a moment of pure happiness, their souls connecting in a way only true soul mates could understand.

After finishing their pizza, Dexter seemed invigorated, ready for more adventures. They packed up their picnic and set off through the park, their steps in perfect harmony. The stream glistened in the afternoon sun, and Dexter’s keen eyes scanned the surroundings for any signs of ducks or other wildlife. “The ducks better watch out,” Chris joked. “Dexter’s on a mission!”

Every step they took together was a new adventure. Dexter’s joy was infectious, and Chris’s heart swelled with love and gratitude. The day’s simple pleasures—the perfect pizza, a friendly pat, and the beauty of nature—were a testament to their deep bond. As they strolled through the park, surrounded by the wonders of the world, Chris felt an overwhelming sense of contentment, knowing that, no matter what, he and Dexter, soul mates through and through, would always have each other’s company to cherish.

I’ve probably got buffalo wing, tenders or buf chicken pizza from over 200 NJ restaurants. Ordered the tenders from here today and 5 minutes in, I was sweating and begging for water to cool me down. Hot! No warning! Just regular “buffalo tenders.” I was feeling like a little baby so I toughened it out and ate the rest but that was a surprise for sure. I thought someone was playing a prank on me. Maybe I’m just getting soft in my older age. Oh well. Ate em all cause they were good just flaming. Eggplant rollatini was a little heavy on the salt but also good. Would order again.

The pizza on the Portnoy scale is a 9.5 out of 10.....excellent. My only suggestion.... the place needs some housekeeping. But a 5 star otherwise.

I called and ordered by phone. The person who answered was polite and friendly. The food was really good, and I appreciated that since I rarely cook, especially in the summer. The delivery didn't take very long, and the young man who brought the food was patient and polite.

I don't get to go home to Jersey very often, at all. As soon as I'm here I get good food. I ordered a Large Sausage Pizza and a Cheesesteak w/ onions. The Cheesesteak was good, but very scant on steak. I definitely would have like more steak.The Pizza, however, was hands down top shelf! I ate six slices AFTER eating the Cheesesteak and I would've eaten the other two slices if I didn't decide to save some for the next morning! They forgot to add my side of marinara to my order, but the pizza was so good I really didn't miss the marinara.I would definitely order from Rocky's again!

I am reporting this establishment to the FDA, because there's no way anyone could make a thin-crust, Sicilian, cheese pizza this addicting, succulent and juicy... there's just no way. They've got to be sprinkling the pizza with some sort of controlled substance. For Pete's sake I had 11 slices. Out of 16, I had 11, and they were gone by about an hour into Snowpiercer. And I'm still thinking about that pizza. 20 bucks - great deal, great meal!
