Now, to be clear, I'm from Boston, and we have the North End, with some of the best pizza in the world. I was skeptical, but I did it anyway. Was I glad I did! The pizza was amazing and fresh, and the toppings were great. We got a variety of their named pizzas and made a couple of custom ones. The pizza was a big hit! Try it—you can't go wrong, I promise.”

“I Normally grab a slice or salad for lunch but won a free large pizza on the rewards app, so ordered dinner for carry out. Called to order and staff was very helpful and friendly. Order was ready promptly, and when I went in to pick up, I noticed the clean restaurant with cute decor and even an ice cream station. Pizza was hot & fresh and crust was pleasantly crisp compared to the boxed slices I usually get. We all loved the sauce and toppings, and my 94 year old father in law declared it “the best pizza I’ve had in a very long time”. Will definitely be back!”

“I have to tell you this: some of the best pizza that I've had, I have to say, is even better than Salvatore's tomato pies. They're good, don't get me wrong, but the crust on these pizzas is amazing. The sauce is amazing. Another thing: if they were to move to Kansas, specifically Kansas City, Wichita, Kansas, and Topeka, they would dominate Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut. They would take them all out of business. When I go home to Kansas, it's definitely going to be a disappointment when I go back to that pizza. I'm going to always think of Rocco's.”
