Really good spot for a slice or whole pie. Roughly a 40 minute wait after I walked in to order. Definitely a worthwhile stop for the area
10/10 pizza. I drove from northern Canada specifically to try this place.
One thing this pizzeria does (that even the “top” pizzerias don’t even do)… is they make it without the help of the pizza screen. You get a way better crust, way better under carriage… it’s the real DEAL.

Rockaway Pizzeria is a renowned pizza establishment in the Pittsburgh area, widely acclaimed for serving the best New York-style pizza in the city. The restaurant offers a variety of traditional pizzas, with the Margherita being a popular choice, praised for its authentic flavor, crispy yet chewy thin crust, and perfect balance of toppings. The cozy and inviting atmosphere, complemented by posters on the wall and classic jazzy music, creates a vintage vibe that adds to the dining experience.
Recently, the restaurant relocated to Regent Square and quickly became a favorite among locals and visitors alike. During the reopening, customers eagerly waited in line, with all tables packed as people anticipated their pizza. The wait time for two pies can be around 45 minutes, and many customers find the pizza worth every minute. Ordering ahead for takeout is recommended for those who want to enjoy their pizza without the wait.
The menu may not feature exotic toppings, but it excels in traditional approaches, making it a top destination for pizza lovers, including those who are passionate about authentic NYC-style pizza. The Pepperoni Knots and NYC-style pizza are highly recommended. With a strong following and a warm, vintage ambiance, Rockaway Pizzeria continues to be a must-visit spot for anyone craving delicious, traditional pizza.
