ROCCO'S OF ROC BEACH COAL BRICK OVEN PIZZA BAR & RESTAURANT ITALIANO

Honestly a very solid italian fast food spot. If you dont have an olive garden within driving distance, this is a very similar place. Pasta was def store bought but im not gonna crucify them for that.

Updated review: LOL I left a review and they responded arguing with me and telling me to go to Olive Garden. Such customer service wow. Updated down to 1 star which is deserving based on two experiences now

Original review: Entrees don’t include pasta lol. Order chicken parm and you gotta pay an extra $10 for spaghetti… who’s coming to an Italian restaurant ordering chicken parm dinner without pasta. Criminal and nothing on the menu about pasta not included and that it’s additional charge. Nor any mention from the waitress about it either

If you like store bought pasta that’s not properly cooked, kind of like Olive Garden, and being told there’s no gelato meanwhile you can see it from outside in the window as you walk and being lied to that they don’t have any so they can push their other desserts, make sure you stop by here. The owner will likely argue with you and yell at you in all caps because he can’t take any feedback or criticism.

Notice every 1 star review on this place the owner argues with and takes offense and says it’s impossible or never happened. Literally every 1 star review is the owner arguing, confrontation and disrespectful. Click lowest reviews and you’ll see it for yourself so before the owner comments on here arguing go see for yourself. #OliveGardenlife

Place aesthetically pleasing, Service wasn’t the best. Couldn’t find my order. Said to wait additional ten mins, then uncovered it, after another customer pick up there order.
I picked up a Margarita Pie since it was voted the best , It appears as I was handed a cancel order and I happened to pick that up. Very cold pie on pick up, the pizza dough very thin was like biting into paper. I’ve had Difficulty chewing. I couldn’t even finish a slice , family was disappointed had to buy from another pizzeria.
Pizza did have a nice sweet taste.

I didn’t get a true taste of the pizza because it was burnt. This was my first time doing takeout.

The food is amazing. Pizzas, pastas...everything I've had there is outstanding, the chef is very talented. But I don't understand the 6 big screen TVs that cover the walls and dominate the vibe. Combine that with bright lighting when it's dark outside and it feels like an upscale sportsbar. Odd choices that don't match the quality of the food.

Prices are not correct for pizzas. Person who answers the phone rushes you and just tries to get you to order while you try to figure out why they prices don't make sense. They will tell you, "We are really really busy, do you want to order or not." Lol we don't need your business ,you need ours. Will NEVER order again. Correct your menu on Google and your customers won't be confused.

I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. The staff was incredibly rude, making the entire experience uncomfortable from the start. The food itself was overpriced for what we got—just mediocre pizza. For the price they’re charging, I expected something much better. With poor service and average food, this is not a place I’ll be returning to. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I did not pick up or go to the establishment so I’ll give that a 5 star because I can’t rate it correctly.. HOWEVER… I can rate the Pizza I had delivered. This is not the best in Queens or even in the area. The Rockaways has bad to mid level pizza at best as a whole and this place did not up the game. I was excited to try their coal oven regular Pizza ($30.00 a pie is WILD for Rockaway) as I’m a bit of a Pizza connoisseur. Compared to the ACTUAL best in the city (Lucali, F&F, and L’industrie to name but a few), this isn’t even close. The crust isn’t great it doesn’t have the right mix of crunch or dough, it is just OK. There is WAY… and I mean WAY too much sauce especially toward the crust end and it’s goopy and honestly just doesn’t taste all that great. It tastes like tomato without any zest or seasoning. Very dissapointed overall. The owner should really take a Pizza tour across the city or even go up to New Haven CT to learn the art of crust and sauce. 5 out of 10.

As far as the Sicilian pie…. Awful. 2 out of 10. If you want this upside down style then just cross the bridge and go to L&B spumoni garden. This was the worst Sicilian pizza I’ve ever had in my life.

That said…. Taste is always subjective so my mouth isn’t yours but if this place didn’t advertise “best pizza in Queens” I would have just taken the $70.00 loss and went on with my night.

Saturday night reservation for two. My best friend and I. We decided to indulge and get about 5 courses.

Let me tell you, everything that came out to us was presented beautifully, and tasted even better. We had the buffalo calamari, the grilled octopus, mozzarella carrozza, veal chop bruschetta, ricotta gnocchi with chicken cutlet and spicy rigatoni chicken parm. Every single bite was delicious and I couldn’t wait for the next course. Normally I’m not a big eater because I’m an ozempic girly. But OMG. I’ll die on the hill saying this is the best restaurant on this peninsula.

And our waitress Bella. So attentive and nice. Always checking in and making sure we were ready for the next course. She was so wonderful.

10/10 recommend.
And don’t stop at take out you need the ambiance this place exudes.

Man o man!!!!!!! This place was AMAZING!!! When you think of Far Rockaway, Rocco’s should be in the TOP 5 places to go visit. Food was great service was great, dessert even better. Rocco’s is NOT cheap, yet definitely worth every penny! To every one at Rocco’s thank you for a wonderful experience with MY family.
