My friend and I stopped by for a quick dinner after a dance class and had a great experience. The menu has a lot of fun options, like pasta, grandma slices, and more. I chose the ground meat pizza and it was delicious. The shop itself is cozy with just a few seats, and it's mostly self-serve--you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. It really felt like a classic New York experience. read more

After a long night of walking around the city all I wanted was a couple of slices of pizza before heading back home to Jersey. I stumbled upon Rocco's Pizza and it gave me a little cozy vibe which I was looking for after walking around in the cold. I decided to dine in because they have some seating available. I decided to get the Sicilian grandma pepperoni pizza and another slice that I unfortunately can't remember the name. Out of the two slices I tried the Sicilian grandma pepperoni pizza was the best. The other slice was OK, but it wasn't as memorable as the grandma pepperoni pizza slice. The tomato sauce as well as the pepperonis they use are very tasty. If you happen to pass Rocco's pizza I say get yourself a Sicilian grandma pepperoni slice. read more

While walking back to Penn station, I stumbled upon Rocco's pizza. The chicken pizza was quite tasty, but could've used slight more sauce, 7/10. My ultimate favorite was the grandmas pepperoni Sicilian. It tasted absolutely delicious, so delicious I had to buy another 10/10. If I lived close by, this would be my go to pizza spot. read more

Stopped in here while walking down the street to Empire Cake. Any time there is a slice house I am more than game with swinging in and grabbing a few. Not a large area - but for grab n go and a few tables inside and outside. They weren't busy as it was right after the lunch crowd. The guy working took our order and got us in and out quickly. We shared a grandma (square with pepperoni) as well as a margherita slice. Both were VERY GOOD. Arguably the two best slices of the weekend. Dough was fresh, proper bake on each, and fresh tasting ingredients. I noticed they also had pasta options as well, so this could be a fallback if in the area and reservations elsewhere falls through. read more

My friend and I came to NYC to catch a show at Racket NYC and stumbled upon this place. So happy we did. Small place with limited seating, maybe for 16 people. If that's the case then grab a couple of slices to go. I had a fantastic Greek salad which had tons of feta, Kalamata olives and a tasty house dressing. I also had a Grandma Slice of pepperoni. Cupped pepperoni! Perfection! My buddy had a couple of Grandma Slices as well with the whole wheat and said it was delicious. We shared an order of garlic knots and I don't know if it is legal to walk out of here without getting them. Plenty of soda choices including Jarritos. They do have more than pizza on the menu and will probably try an entree next time I am in the Chelsey District. read more

Good place to go for the lunch special. Don't expect anything fancy or mind blowing. Two mediocre slices and a can of soda for $6.50 - which is a pretty great deal in the city. The restaurant is clean and cuter than you expect it to be. Small, with a few tables and chairs should you choose to eat there. The cashier will act less than thrilled that you have decided to visit the establishment, but consider it part of the New York ambiance. Very important note: the lunch special begins at 11:30am. Avoid like the plague from 11:30am-12:30pm on weekdays. There are schools nearby and the entire place gets overrun with loud tweens and teens. Nightmare fuel, for real. Otherwise, drop in and enjoy a cheap bite to eat. read more

The food here was pretty good for a first visit but the slices were deff a must with the variety as well ( kiss the fingers). The service was quick an easy didn't have to struggle on ordering anything. It was also decorated like something out of a small Italian spot not like a pizzeria but more of a small villa on the coast but then you look out the window and it's the big apple. For a person who's always on the go for a few slices was deff a must go deff gonna order else be prepaid es for a star update after the second visit read more

Small place with limited inside seating, making takeout the option that day. Luckily, I've done delivery twice and their pizza travels well. Unlike a lot of other places, they don't skimp on the toppings because you order more than one. I worked in a pizzeria during college, making thousands of pies...so I have some experience to make that statement. Some restaurants spread the ingredients further out to increase the profit margin, which negates your enjoyment. They'll say it creates a better visual, which it BS...it's $ they're looking at. Some alleged foodies have bought that BS and spread "the visual" perspective on their reviews and social media. You can prefer plain cheese pizza because it's a taste preference, and we all have them...but show me someone who orders toppings on a pie and doesn't want said toppings in each bite, and I'll call fraud. Pizza is a guilty pleasure food. Look at the pie and you can see Rocco's philosophy on pizza; pepperoni cups filled with unctuous spice and chunks or unsymmetrical balls of ground Italian sausage. I haven't had the opportunity to eat table-side there yet, but if it gets to your home in a box this good, fresh out of the oven on your table has to be better. Cheers read more

This review for lunch is long overdue. My food travels take me to Rocco's as the logo appears very 1950's Retro, yet the inside is far from being Retro. One sausage Calzone $6.50 (includes sales tax) + waiting for fifteen eternal minutes = indigestion for three hours!! I waited for a very long time for my order to be heated which the server never called out my order's name nor alerted me that it is ready for pickup. OKAY, so I stood in front of his face to attain my order!! Overall, the sausage Calzone was extremely greasy and dripping with oil. There was so much Ricotta cheese everywhere and only two measly pieces of sausage which was skimmed and dupe for quality. A takeout menu is available which my copy has immediately been discarded. Why does anyone want greasy food to clog the arteries, increase blood pressure and spike one's cholesterol level?? Minimal seating is available. No facilities are available for customers. No written sales receipt is produced. Staff are impersonal and callous. read more

Went to Rocco's (8th Ave) today. A gentleman who said he was the owner (Carlos) for 25 years refused me service. I had my Service Animal with me. I showed him the ADA website, but he said he was the owner, and I should leave my service animal at home. Just a very poor experience......certainly not the worst thing to happen to me, just a sad moment. After I got over it ..... the bright side: went to Zia Maria on W23rd and had a delicious meatball and eggplant pie!!! Perhaps the owner can read the ADA website as it is a federal law. read more

Alright Frankie, we're here at Rocco's Pizza Joint in Chelsea. There was no NYC flop to this pizza. One bite everyone knows the rules. I was looking for a quick slice of pizza before heading to a local speak easy. Rocco's was open and pretty empty. It makes me believe they do a decent amount of take out from here. I got a margarita slice - I would rate this a 6.2. Not the worst, but also not the best. There was A LOT of oregano on this slice. The crust was very crunchy. A specialty slice was $4.00. They have a few seating options, can fit about 15 people? If you're looking for something quick it's a good option. read more

I ordered a large 18 inch pizza for takeout over the phone-- half pepperoni and half mushroom. When I went to pick up my pizza, I was charged for 2 toppings ($3.50 each). I was confused since I just got half and half and assumed that counted as one topping. The cashier told me that even though I got half, it counted as two toppings and that I would have been better off getting both toppings on whole pizza and it would have been the same price. What?! Is this normal pizza topping protocol? I have NEVER heard that logic before and was sorely disappointed in this practice and let them know they should notify the customers when they are ordering that this is how they will be charged. I was not quoted a price when I placed the order and if I had been, would have changed the order. An additional few bucks isn't going to kill me, but this practice is not cool. The pizza was decent, but I will not be a repeat customer. read more

Came here about a month ago after an open bar social media event. Go figure. I'm also behind, I know. BUT Stephy and I were drunk, per usual, and on the hunt for oddly sushi I think at the time in Chelsea. But the place she was thinking of had shuttered. We were having no luck and ran into this. They have an A rating (mega bonus). They even sell pasta. Okay! But between the two of us we split just a regular slice of sausage/cheese and a cheese calzone. Shockingly actually pretty good. The calzone was really excellent and served with tomato sauce on the side. Both warm and filled to the brim with ricotta and a nice crust that wasn't too thick and or doughy. Also, pretty cheap. If I were drunk and again in the neighborhood I would definitely remember this spot! read more

Howdy Yelpers. Please join me in my campaign to rename Rocco's Pizza Joint "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Slice." My point? You won't remember the experience. There's nothing terribly wrong with the pizza, but nothing quite right about it either. Feel free to choose your favorite slice from their unremarkable selection of forgettable combos. Try to crack the steely indifference of the three dudes who make the pies. (My money's on the dudes!) Trust me: upon stepping back out onto 7th Avenue, the meal will be erased from your memory. Permanently. I gotta admit, though --- I find myself intrigued by Rocco. Who is he? What makes him tick? Why is he never around? Why is his pizza bitch-slapped by DiGiorno's frozen? So many questions, so few answers. read more

I walk past this place all the time and finally came here Saturday afternoon for a hangover slice of pizza. Worked wonders, felt significantly better after, maybe not a direct correlation but hey. They have a few good whole wheat options like grilled vegetable or broccoli rabe sausage pizza. I opted for the former. Delicious but quite greasy. They advertise gluten free options outside but it's only available if you buy the entire pizza. Besides pizza they've got Salads, garlic bread, lasagna, calzones and some chicken dishes. Nice quaint place, just wish pizza was less greasy. I'll probably come back when the craving strikes again. read more

Came here last night on a whim with Ingrid S. after attending the Lollpalooza of career fairs last night. We were on a professional mini-bender and in desperate need of noms. Cheesy noms. As per usual, neither of us were craving anything in particular and nothing in the immediate neighborhood was looking particularly appetizing...we finally decided that we wanted cheesy...I was craving pasta...but Italian places in this hood are to be savored for more formal dinner plans - not for mini-bender munchies time. Pizza. YEAH, PIZZA WORKS AND THEY MIGHT EVEN SELL PASTA! I was sold. To be honest I would have gotten pasta here had they had something creamy inspired or preferably, freakin' Alfredo sauce. Between you, me and the billions of people that visit Yelp on a daily basis - I love Alfredo sauce. I can't get enough of the stuff. It's my spirit ani-sauce. It's my spirit sauce. But they do have regular tomato sauce pasta, lasagna, some salads, garlic knots and other rando Italian-inspired options on their menu - all reasonably priced. Between it looking clean, having a Department of Health "A" grade and smelling yummy inside we were sold on making this our home for the next 35 minutes. We ended up getting a cheestastic cheesy calzone (which came served with a small side and a slice of sweet, Italian sausage pizza. We went halfsies on both things and to be honest, both were actually quite decent. I would totally go back for that cheese calzone, it was cheesegasmic. read more

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat.

Best gluten-free pizza I have ever had. [Full Stop]…read more I've had a lot of GF pizza. I've tried to come here in the past -- but it didn't work out. I ordered via Uber Eats this time, and MAN -- I was blown away. I honestly thought that they had screwed up and sent me a gluten version. I checked the order and receipt. It was so good -- the crust so chewy with bite -- but light and airy and tight -- the cheese and toppings all great and fresh and delicious. It tasted like an awesome piece of NYC pizza. I was so happy. I did some Claude sleuthing -- and think I'm onto their magic with the crust -- and am excitedly going to experiment in my home kitchen in the coming weeks (Neapolitan oven, be damned!).

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous. The bits of bacon, combined with the spiciness of the pepper spices, made this a perfect starter. The entree was also shared and it was the Spicoli 2.0 Pizza. I cannot recommend this pie, enough. You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

Walking into Bardough will make you want to kill your phone the second you hit the bottom step…read morebecause the ambiance here is dialed in perfectly. The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!

Wonderful Italian restaurant in the heart of New York!…read more One thing to be aware of--they take your picture at the table and give you a keepsake photo, but they also offer additional photos for purchase, so don't be surprised when they come around with the photo options. The fried calamari and shrimp appetizers were delicious! For entrees, I really liked that they offer half portions for one person and full portions for 2-3 people. It makes it easy to eat family-style, try several dishes, and share. The vodka pasta was definitely a favorite! Our server was attentive and did a fantastic job, especially for a busy weekend evening. He didn't miss a beat!

(This is why I'm not a fan of family style. I don't like paying for what I personally don't eat or drink.) I will say the atmosphere in the lower room is nice (until more parties fill the room and all you hear is cacophony). I tasted the calamari, the chicken parm, and the tiramisu. The food is good. With all the hassle, at least the food is good.

I would rather give it 1/2 a star. The service sucks the fat Mexican behind the counter is a rude soon of a slut. My friend I went there today 11/2/16 for a slice of grandma pizza. The pizza was cold. I asked the guy to warm it up. He had a attitude. I said to my friend watch this guy burn the pizza on purpose. We waited for about 5 minutes. I asked the guy for my pizza , he said to give him a minute with a attitude. When we got our pizza it was burning hot. (3rd degree burns hot ) I asked the guy why he had to burned our pizza that we were unable to eat it. the bottom of my pizza was black no kidding. I asked for my money or another slice. He said no and pointed to the door. I asked for the owner he said that he was the owner. I left the the burnt slice on counter and walked out of the pizzeria. I was so disappointed of the way this guy treats his customers. I cant believe he gets away with this, I was told by another employee that the real owner was not there. I will get in touch with the owner to file a complaint. Don't support this illegal undocumented employees. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this location due to consistently poor customer service. The staff at the front desk were not only rude, but also dismissive and unhelpful. From the moment I walked in, I was met with an unfriendly attitude, as if I was an inconvenience rather than a customer. When I asked a simple question, it was met with eye rolls and a condescending tone. There was no effort to assist or provide any level of professionalism. It's unacceptable for any business to treat customers this way, and it left a lasting negative impression. I hope management addresses this issue seriously, as this kind of behavior drives customers away. read more

As a native Italian Brooklynite, I just moved to Chelsea. I have found the best authentic pizzeria in the city. The slices come with an awesome plum tomato sauce fresh basil sauce and quality mozzarella, all hand made by real Italians. The grandma pizza is the best I've ever had, but suprisingly, the whole wheat grandma is superb as well. I have tried their other items as well, such as the chicken parm and lasagna and meatballs, and all of them made me feel like I was at my grandmother's. My office now has a favorite lunch menu thanks to my suggestion. read more

I've lived in Flatiron/Chelsea for 6 years. Unfortunately the pizza in this area is terrible. That said, If i am going to have Pizza for dinner, it better be good. At Rocco's you can't taste a thing, it tastes like toasted bread with some extremely oily cheese on top. The slices are always old. Unless you get a fresh pie don't even bother.

To date, the exterior is still the church facade. Reading reviews here, it seems Limelight Pizza's Yelp account includes Grimaldis reviews which is unfortunate since it contributes to the overall rating which is average. Though I never tried Grimaldis Pizza at this location, I can attest that Limelight Pizza was one of the best pies I've had in 2024. Nothing average about it. The space was smallish but quaint. Our server (the only server) was friendly, cordial and extremely nice. We placed an order for a regular Margarita pie and Diet Coke. A regular suits two people with 6 slices. There were options for a personal pie (4 slices) and large (8 slices) and priced accordingly. Our size was $29. In about no time, the pizza arrived to the table looking and smelling delicious. Fresh mozzarella, well balanced sauce and a perfect crust resulted in a wow factor to be added to my list when in the area. This business doesn't serve slices since it is a restaurant with table service. Note--no alcohol on the menu. Really good pizza that I'd recommend. Actually, heavenly.
