The 9 lives crust was like a soft fresh bread. Their Pizza sauce is my favorite yet! Different than anything Ive tried and yet the best in my opinion. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything. Definitely recommend!

The first place we stopped said simply, "No coffee" and we decided to eat elsewhere. The waitress, Courtney, found instant and won our undying affection. We proceeded to order Caesar salad, a Greek pizza, fettuccine Alfredo, and wine to go with it all. The place was comfy, but the caring people made it. We have dined in many places much more finely appointed and been far less pleased. Whenever we cross Missouri on I-44, we'll be back. Thank you.

Two of our party got the pizza rolls (ham & pineapple and then a pepperoni), one the lasagna & also a meatball sandwich (they toasted the bread) with fries! We left with full happy tummies! The only slight downside was it was a bit longer stop than we had expected, but understandable since they were swamped!

They make their own crust, sauce and some of the toppings, including mild tasting sausage. All of the toppings were diced small, so every bite had everything in it! We had the Deluxe. Lots of customers came and picked up their "take out" while we were there. If we lived in Branson, Rocco's would be on our weekly schedule. We will definitely eat there anytime we are in the area.

Even though I said never again, I gave them another opportunity because I really like supporting local businesses when I'm in the area. The pizzas were good, hot, and tasty. One pizza was a veggie with Canadian bacon added and the other was all different types of meat. Both were very good. The crust was the regular and very good but next time I might try the thin crust for comparison. The dining area was clean even though the place was packed with families since it was holiday vacation time. Service was good. The young woman on the cash register was a little flustered, but the phone was ringing and people were waiting to order, pick-up, and pay. So that was understandable that she had her hands full. As busy as it was, she was still smiling! You won me back Hook & Ladder! See you next trip!

It seems like this dish was not freshly made, but reheated, again. Piccolos was one of our favorite restaurants. This may have been made a day or two ago because they do that to make it Alpha-gal safe, or they may always make it ahead. Won't be going Bach.

The Italian nachos are amazing as are many of their entrees. I've tried about half of the menu and haven't been disappointed.

Especially that Salted Caramel Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!
