Rockaway Pizzeria Reviews
We love Rockaway. We usually grab a few slices and a hoagie on our walk around the neighborhood. The woman at the front is always so nice and so is the rest of the staff. Glad they’re in the neighborhood!
Best NY Cheese Pizza in Pittsburgh. This pizza is right up my alley. It's got great cheese and the crust is crispy. Got the pleasure to meet Josh. He's a great dude. Lives up to the 8.2 score. Also tried the Grandma slice and upside down Sicilian. If you don't hit this spot for pizza in Pittsburgh, I have no respect for you. Lol
Update: Praying for Josh's recovery. I am still recovering from lumbar herniated disc since January. Had to get injection. Hopefully you recover soon...read full review
I went because of the hype, and left a true fan. The pizza here is fantastic, but if I could offer a new visitor one tip that made this place even better — try various slices of everything. The Sicilians are beefy and heavy, the upside down (which was over the top fantastic) is light and airy, and the regular slices packed a ton of quality flavor. The pepperoni meat itself is the best I’ve had in the city — taste a piece of it solo. Wow. The staff were so kind....read full review
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.
