We stopped in midweek between lunch and dinner. Metered street parking is available in the immediate area. The restaurant was pretty quiet, but we were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. Clearly, this is a restaurant caters to the busier times around sporting events. Menu is pretty standard bar fare and pizza. We checked out their spinach, artichoke dip, which was served with corn chips and it was pretty tasty. Pizza choices were limited to pre-selected combinations with cute names. Larger pies could be split 50-50 toppings (a plus). Thin crust, which is my preference, was light and crunchy. Sauce was pretty good but I could have done without the pizza being cut into little tiny pieces (Not a big deal to some, but I am from New York so a good pie slice/wedge is important to me -LOL!). A full bar, plenty of beers on tap, and a number of NA choices to make everyone happy! Good place to stop if you're looking for some thin crust pizza and not too picky about specialty items. Fair pricing and good food quality. Check out Rocco's if you're in the area. read more

I had visited for CWS and I was surprised that our food got out as fast as it did. We ordered a bbq chicken pizza and it easily fed 4 adults. Seating was a little sporadic but that's to be expected during CWS at dinner time across from the stadium. I highly recommend you check this place out, no matter the season. read more

Stopped in for some pizza and beer. They weren't too busy, so I was able to seat down and order right away. I was surprised how big the restaurant was. Outside seating is also available. The pizza was really good and it didn't take a lot of time. Very good pizza joint! read more

Caveat - I didn't eat at Rocco's so no food reviews. I'm reviewing the Jello-o shots only and my berry one was quite good! Our group of 5 went to do Jell-O shots to support our favorite team during the College World Series. The Jello-o room wasn't crowded and we were served quickly. They are pros at this and it was well stocked. The vibe was happy and the service was fast. Glad I got to experience it - it was a total vibe! read more

The only nice thing about this place is the location if you are downtown. It's super close to the ballpark. Especially during the CWS, it's full of college frat boys and dads. The place has lots of TVs and open space. The pizza is overpriced cheap freezer pizza that has a thin, dry cardboard crust that had a thin layer of cheese on top. Even as a drunk midnight eat, I couldn't eat more than a slice. The nachos with queso dip weren't even fully cooked. The queso was still slightly frozen in the middle. read more

Hair recently and I ordered the chicken salad and it was actually pretty good and they pretty OK serving. They didn't have the dressing that I wanted, but I may do and it was still good. The surface was good and no major complaints about dying here recently. read more

I really liked the pizza here. I wasn't expecting very much because I don't typically like flatbread pizza but it was so good. Our waitress was really sweet. It was a chill little spot it was pretty busy for a Monday but it wasn't as loud as a lot of places downtown. My friend tried the garlic and cheese pizza and she liked it a lot read more

Rocco's Pizza & Cantina - Barbecue Brisket Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

When you come to Omaha, go here for a great pizza. The staff is great. Seating inside and outside, family friendly.

We popped in on a weekday afternoon for a snack and an adult beverage. Aaa- Menu was the most pedestrian thing I've seen since the 80's we got the chicken nachos- can't mess that up right.... Chips cheese chicken... well - you know how when you get home and you just want a quick snack- Tostitos and a hand full of shredded cheese and you pop them in the microwave and dang it the are 1-2 minutes tooooo long. You know what I mean Right- well those are better then what came out. And I think they mic's with the lettuce on it as well. What the .... $15 bucks for that, geeez the margarita we sampled was just a watered down jug of Jose's mix from the store. For that - you should think twice before you go. Or don't eat. Do better read more

Rocco's Pizza & Cantina - Front view - Pizza Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

For the life of me, I don't understand why Rocco's never sells pizza by the slice during the College World Series, which is by far the busiest time of the year for this place. This is why we rarely stop by - it's way too busy and you have to order a whole pizza. So what did we do on a slow day in August? We ordered a full pizza. We ordered a pepperoni and jalapeño pepper, which was amazing. You get a thin crust here. In fact, when we held each square slice at the edge, it did not limp down, which is a great testimony to the quality. Just a right amount of sauce, not too saucy. It has a rather unique flavor to me that I don't get anywhere else. Rocco's is also famous for selling shots as a fundraiser during the CWS, which is pretty cool. read more

Ive been here a couple times and the pizza is okay, nothing great. But it's good if you're in a hurry before a show at slowdown or something else nearby. That being said I have a major issue with management at this location. I have a psychiatric service dog, and according to FEDERAL LAW, the only places that can deny entry for service dogs are religious institutions. This afternoon I attempted to go there for a late lunch between CWS games. The guy working the door said i could not bring my service dog in. I told him that per FEDERAL LAW, he is only allowed to ask 2 questions, is the animal a service animal, and what service does it provide. He said dogs are not allowed. I asked him to get the manager, and the manager came out took one look at my dog in its vest, with ID card displayed. His response was "I don't care, no dogs" Someone should advise this owner about the Americans with disabilities act, as if I really wanted to be a dick, this is a slam dunk ADA lawsuit, but because I'm not a dick, I'm instead posting this as a yelp review. I will never patronize this business again. read more

The pizza was excellent. The service was fantastic. The prices were great. Glad I didn't read anyone else's reviews or I probably wouldn't have gone here. We had the Hawaiian BBQ brisket pizza and it was cooked perfect and delicious. Our server did everything right even with the place packed. read more

Such a great downtown bar. Fast, friendly service. Lots of CWS bartender stories while lounging at the bar having a drink. 68K jello shots for LSU!!! Seriously??!!

Rocco's Pizza & Cantina - Pizza Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Pizza was a very good "4". Half combo and half chicken bacon ranch. Nachos shouldn't even be on the menu. Chips with a bunch of ground beef covering them and you had to look for cheese. Not even a little tasty. Service was a SS ti say the least. Three different dudes waited on us and all were bad. Asked for the nachos as an app. Pizza came out first, crappy nachos 10 mins later. No "I'm sorry, nothing. I wouldn't return are there are too many good pizza places in Omaha to venture into that again. read more

I visited Rocco's a few weeks before CWS during the Big 10 tournament across the street. When we walked in, there was a sign that said wait to be seated. We waited a while and no one ever came over, despite many employees walking by, so we finally went up to the bar to ask the bartender. We sat outside because it was pretty busy and the inside seats were full. We asked if we would get drinks at the bar and then sit outside, but they said a server would be out there. We sat there for about 10 minutes before someone came by. We finally put in an order for two summer shandies, which were good and very cold. The drinks were also pretty cheap too, which was nice. While finishing our drinks, most people cleared out to head out to the baseball game and the patio and restaurant were almost empty. We were the only ones left on the patio and finished our drinks, though we didn't see our waitress for at least 20-30 minutes after finishing our drinks. We may have waited longer, though while on the way to the restroom, the server was inside talking and did not give any indication she would come outside, so we asked if we could pay our tab. She came outside after that. read more

Rocco's Pizza & Cantina - Summer shandy - Pizza Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We were looking for a place for a bite to eat before heading to the airport. Having no idea where to go, we seen this place and thought, "Can't really go wrong with pizza". Started with a side salad that came with packets of dressing. So nothing special there. My daughter asked for sour cream for her quesadillas. They up-charged for it, and it also came in a packet that was expired! The pizza was close to something you would buy frozen. I thought it was pricey as well for what we got. $3.50 for fountain soda? Maybe that's the norm now days, I usually don't order soda. On a good note. The waiter was quick and very nice. read more

Soooo where to begin. This is my second visit to Rocco's. The first one was the night before. Supposedly, they are open late..... and Yelp and one other app said they were open.... When walking in freezing (Brick, for my New Yorkers) we spotted the neon OPEN sign from off in the distance and beat feet to this place, only to find out they were CLOSED!!!! Nuff said. Now when we went for lunch, it was not bad at all! The wonderful waitress had it ALL under control! Margarita pizza was ok. And their pizza with pepperoni and jalapeños was very good. Beer was wet and abundant. Price was fair and again the staff was friendly. Food came out fast and hot. I would def go here again. read more

I really enjoyed it here! It is the best option for food and drinks when attending baseball games as it is conveniently located right across the street. The margarita was great and strong. The cheese pizza left me wanting more the next day. It is really unique and flavorful. They also have great selection of others to choose from and I saw almost every table ordering the pizza. read more

Went in for lunch, not very welcoming with chairs up on tables. Service was ok, did not get water refills. Food came out quickly, one order was incorrect and quickly fixed. The food was mid-minus. We did not have pizza, maybe that's where they excel. Maybe after a night of drinking I'd think it was awesome, but sober, mid-day, I shoulda gone to the blatt. I won't go back to rocco's read more

The pizza was amazing. The server was amazing. There's TV around that show games. They're loud enough to hear, but quiet enough to still talk to the people at your table. Thank you! read more

My boyfriend and I arrived 5-10 minutes before 3mp, we didn't leave until 3:50. We were the only patrons, it was completely empty. Our server was kind, but once we put our chip and dip order in, she sat down immediately on her phone. 10-15 minutes goes by and we get chips. Shortly after that my boyfriend's drink was completely empty. She did not check on us, I got tired of waiting for her to come check on us so I brought our empty chip container to the counter and asked for a refill. I told her it's been a while since you've checked on us. She did apologize only for the empty cup. 10 minutes goes by again and she did check on us and told us our pizza would be done soon, informed us there was a huge catering order had gone out. Which we had no idea, I would've just asked for our pizza to go. I totally understand that catering orders are a big deal. It's just unacceptable that it was 40 plus minutes for a pizza. To continue, another 10 minutes goes by and we get our pizza. We left 5 minutes after we got our pizza. She never even apologized for how long it was taking. I am not impressed with the service lately as this is the second time we had this poor service. Their pizza is so good so this is such a let down. I'm willing to give them another chance down the road just not anytime soon. read more

Chicken nachos were the worst we've ever had. The old menu posted on Yelp listed the nachos as - Grilled chicken , cheese, lettuce and tomatoes- your standard nachos- so we went ahead and ordered those when we sat down. Well we were shocked when we got a menu to see that the nachos had chicken, cheese and BANANA PEPPERS only. Who thinks that is a winning combination?! So yes, we should have checked the current menu first - But either way they were just not good.. bland with less than average chips, banana peppers, and not great shredded chicken. They realllllly needed some salsa (we asked the waitress she said they didn't have any) or your other standard nacho toppings - sour cream, jalapeños, or black beans to make them passable. Or just some better chicken. Pizzas looked okay but not that great. Positives -- Great location near the ballpark! Friendly staff! Our waitress was really nice and handled the busy crowd with grace. read more

Rocco's Pizza & Cantina - CHICKEN .. CHEESE .. BANANA PEPPERS. Just as bad as it looks. - Pizza Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Food was good, but the service was lacking. We were a group of 3. Me and a friend both ordered red beers. The waitress brought out our beers and the tomato juice separately with only one small can of tomato juice!?!?! We had to ask for another can of tomato juice. We had to flag down another waitress for a coke refill, not knowing where our original waitress went. 3 different waitresses waited on us so not sure where the tip went. Had to flag down someone to pay also. It was it a weird experience for sure. Also, they had a lot of rules (cannot split checks, cannot make half-and-half, pizzas on event nights, etc.) read more

We had a party of 20-30 people after a basketball tournament! They were great on accommodating us with out a reservation! Madison S was our server and she was amazing! She deserves the 5 stars. We noticed after we all sat and ordered drinks that checks couldn't be separated. However we spoke to our server she said she would do by family. Which we all greatly appreciated! Food was quick and good. However we all witnessed a gentleman (assuming the manager on duty) yell at her and make her cry and degrade her in front of the house. Where we could all see. It was disheartening to see this young lady who was working so hard be humiliated. read more

I've been going to Omaha and Rocco's for 4 years now. Yesterday before our game a bartender grabbed me and said I was serving Jell-O shots to what looked like 8 year olds. I am a bartender and would not serve children alcohol. A Dad I didn't know was next to us serving his kids. As I walked by then they said they saw me do it. The owner grabbed me by the neck escorting me out and shoved me out the door saying "don't let him back in." The bartender slapped my dads drink out of his hand and said "get the frick out." A friend and former employer of mine is friends with the owner of Rocco's and set up a meeting between us this morning. He was immediately hostile saying he saw me buy a full tray of purple shot and hand them out to kids. I said show me the video because I only bought 8 red shots. He refused and denied grabbing me by the neck. He said to get the cops if we wanted, but we were warned around Omaha that the video would just be "missing." Basically told us to go frick our selves that I wouldn't admit to something I didn't do. He was yelling in front of his customers and I asked that we do it somewhere private not in front of them. read more

Owner and his son think it's okay and legal for them to put hands on their customers after wrongfully accusing them. Was told to meet with the owner and give him a chance that he was reasonable guy. He was anything but reasonable. He even started yelling in front of other customers instead of talking in private. Their owner and social media team also believe in blocking people to hide reviews and posts. Very unprofessional business that does not understand the law or the rights customers have. Wish I could give 0/5 stars. This establishment didn't even deserve a 1/5. read more

Had an outstanding night at Rocco's tonight. All of the staff were excellent and very attentive, especially the two male bartenders. Good selection of beers. Pizza was very tasty and good sized. Good value for the money. I recommend the all meat pizza. Light red sauce, plenty of several meats and ample cheese make this an outstanding pizza and choice. Little gem of a place and will definitely go again the next time I am in town. read more

We came into town late (9pm) and wanted a quick bite without paying a fortune. We have 2 boys 9 and 11 and they absolutely loved the thin crust pizza. We had the pepperoni and mushroom and it was awesome. Crispy crust, not too much sauce and the pizza came out quick. We would definitely come back when we're back in town. Very friendly staff read more

This place is a few blocks north of the Fairfield Inn, so it was an easy choice for dinner on a cold December night. Too easy. When we arrived, we were the only couple there. Okay, that should have been a warning. This is also right next to the stadium where the NCAA College World Series plays, and various shows. My wife ordered a Bloody Mary which is a pretty basic cocktail. The bartender / waiter didn't know how to make one. Warning two. My wife changed to beer instead, along with me. The beer was okay - cold and crisp. We ordered some cheese curds for appetizers, and then a Margherita Pizza for dinner that we planned to share. The cheese curds were okay. Hot, fresh. The Margherita Pizza came, and was not as good as we would have expected. The whole point about pizza is taste - this one was bland. I had to get out the salt and pepper - which I've never had to do for Margherita Pizza ever since it's so spicy. They much have forgot the spices - it could have used garlic and oregano and some other spices. Then the check was wrong (warning three) - again, remember, the place was deserted (back to warning one) So this gets an Average Rating. If you are hungry give it a try. If you want beer, go for it. If you want tasty food and mixed drinks - nah! read more

The bar is serving trays of jello shots with no control over who is getting the shots. There were minors all across the bar drinking. Your owner mis-identified my son as someone serving alcohol to minors. We requested he post the video to prove it happened but he refused and instead blocked us and friends from your pages. We have filed a police complaint against Kevin (owner) for grabbing him by the neck as he left and another against your bartender for knocking a beer out of my hands. All we wanted was to review the video, prove it was a mistaken identity and get an apology. Kevin got belligerent, refused to show the video and basically said f you. There were kids being served alcohol, just not by my son or myself. Rocco's owner is a liar, I do not recommend this place. read more

I get that during CWS it is hard to keep everything calm. However, kicking people out because you saw people sneak in and kicking out the wrong people to me is inexcusable. We all payed to have a good time and I've had great experiences there before but with so many other fun places to go I wouldn't risk the nasty encounter we experienced. read more

What a joke. Tell the manager/ owner to be upfront and honest with the beer prices on their menu ( no prices listed). List the prices! $11.50 for a draft beer? Ridiculous. CWS fan here. read more

I had something that was supposed to be a chicken burrito. It wasn't. This is the second truly awful burrito I've had in Omaha so maybe I should take the hint. The "queso cheese" sure looked and tasted like Velveeta and the chicken was tasteless. I managed to eat about half after dousing it with hot sauce and then gave up. My recommendation is to stay away from the cantina offerings. read more

Super Salty Pizza! We came here after a concert and the short staff rocked it. What didn't rock is the pizza. It was some kind of garlic chicken pizza and it is insanely salty. It did the trick after a show, on they way back to hotel to pass pit, but that's it. Nothing I would come back for. read more

I decided to stopped by this place for some pizza and a brew since I was in the area. One thing I noticed immediately was the entire establishment was empty besides the cook and the bartender. I placed an order for a cheese pizza, garlic bread, and a cold brew. Well, the cold brew was on point, the garlic bread was alright, but the pizza was flat out terrible. The main issues with the pizza I had was that pizza was unusually salty, bland, rubbery, and just a complete uninspired mess slapped together. This pizza was the worse pizza I've ever had in my life. After a few more bites into this pizza I decided I couldn't continue to eat this hot mess. Mind you, this pizza was far worse than pizza we use to receive when we were in elemental/middle/high school or a bad frozen pizza from the grocery store. Thought of my experience with their pizza on that dreaded day makes me cringe to this day. read more

It's the College World Series first day and I am across the street at Rocco's Pizza and Cantina, watching the first afternoon game before heading to the ballpark to attend the evening contest between Arizona and Vanderbilt. It was moderately crowded and a table was available near the bar. I knew pizza was on the menu for the evening game so the plan was was to pick the Chicken tacos and Xhicken salad along with a cold beer. Tacos were about average in taste and on the drier side. No salsa or Pico de Gallo to help with the dryness. The salad was about average in taste. The server was very attentive and the crowd was friendly throughout the game. Perhaps, I should have picked the pizza instead of the tacos and salad. No one who ordered the pizza looked disappointed. I guess in hindsight, I should have overloaded on pizza that day. The Pacifico beer was good from the tap. It's been decades since I had this beer. It probably was the best item ordered. I am hoping I will get another opportunity to judge their pizza soon. read more

We're locals and finally got around to stopping in. ....and we're done going there. We thought they had just opened but apparently had been there a few months already. I had the tacos and my girlfriend got the nachos. What came out looked like my college aged self was working the kitchen. The "Tacos" were flour tortillas straight from the bag, warm chicken, lettuce and cheese. I'd be shocked if it took more than 10 seconds to make. When my girlfriend reached out to Rocco's about her nachos they didn't apologize they kind of turned it around on her. "We get compliments all the time on our nachos!" I honestly think I made better food, hammered out of my mind, with leftovers in my fridge, in a microwave, at 4 in the morning. Hopefully the CWS is enough of a shot in the arm to up their food game next year. read more

Not sure what I was expecting, but what I got wasn't it. The two stars are for the food only. If you are desperate for food and want to over pay for poor food quality, then this is your place. I had the Brisket Nachos - extremely disappointing. First there was hardly any brisket and it was sliced and layered on a few nachos. I would have expected it to have been shredded and spread across the plate. My brother had a Pepperoni pizza - imagine frozen and heated up, cheap cardboard. Go to Costco and get the pizza, way better. Drinks were ok and reasonably priced. This restaurant probably only stays in business because of its location to sporting events, but it is probably an overflow spot when everything else is full. read more
