The food there was really good and so is the service very happy. I went there. Ambience.

"Bada bing, bada boom" "Che Cosa" FORGET ABOUT IT This place has seating space size of ABOUT a 15 x 15 HOME DINING ROOM comfortable area with around eight tables for four, CLEAN FLOORS THROUGHOUT and bathroom too, visible kitchen, large screen TV and a positive vibe. a BIG HEART we can feel with the level of service they provide and phenomenal CANNOLIS with CREAM like one found in Brooklyn. The pizza? Good of course. Just within ten minutes from EXIT 12 Off Turnpike. Take a detour before you pass this exit to try them out, you will be glad you did. Tell them ANGEL THE REALTOR SENT ME.

I have been eating here every Friday for lunch for about 10 years. The pizza is very good and the prices are right too! Sometimes they have a fun variety of slices to offer during lunch time. I wish they would offer more of those pinwheel things besides pepperoni or chicken parm. The ambiance hasn't changed in a while and the chalk wall is a bit annoying as it gets all over your clothes, especially during coat seasons. The staff is wonderful and friendly! read more

The pizza comes very close to the Brooklyn-style pizza we've been missing. The sauce was flavorful, and the thin, crispy crust was absolutely delicious. I'm usually not a big fan of jalapeño peppers, but my kids love them, so I decided to give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised--the peppers were crispy, and the creamy filling made them delicious. What made our experience even better was the wonderful service. Everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made us feel right at home. Great pizza, great food, and wonderful people! It's nice to finally find a local pizza place that gives our family a little taste of Brooklyn again. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I got a whole chicken francese sandwich for my wife and I and it fed us for 4 me as la. The cashier was excellent, and asked if she could break a $100, she said no problem. The restaurant is very inviting and the display case showcases some wonderful slices. It is a great neighborhood restaurant, and I live a block away. read more

I won a gift certificate in a local raffle for Rocco's, so I decided to order a few things off of the menu for my family and I to try. I placed an order for pickup and it was hot and ready in less than 20 minutes. I ordered a large plain pie, a chicken caesar wrap (comes with fries), and an order of chicken tenders and french fries. The pizza was enjoyable but not my favorite of all time (classically thin, not too much cheese, and a plain tomato sauce). I would've preferred a slightly sweeter sauce and more cheese on top (see photo). The chicken Caesar wrap was DELICIOUS. The chicken could've been more seasoned, but it was still great. The wrap was filled with chicken and a good amount of dressing, and it came out nice and hot. I was also able to taste Parmesan so the flavor was definitely to my liking. The fries were good too (long and crispy). My kids enjoyed the chicken tenders (my teenager said they're your average chicken tenders for a local pizza spot). Also, when I was taking the food to go, a staff member (Adrian) was kind enough to carry my order to my car for me. All in all it was a good experience and I'd call it a solid pizza spot. read more

The reviews encouraged me to give Rocco's a try and I was very happy I did. I could tell from the look and smell when the pizza came out it was gonna be good. It was delicious. It was simply one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Pizza is simple. People overcomplicate it. It was crispy, delicious and foldable. A Must! It's good pizza the way we all like it. Simple. And the owner, Steve treated me, my wife & daughter like family. It was one of the nicest evenings we had during our visit to Avenel - where I'm originally from - and we usually can't wait to get back to Florida. When we come back to Jersey, the first place we're going is Rocco's. So yea, you should go there too. read more

A taste of home! This corner pizzeria brought back so many memories from my childhood. I had the big Rocco based on a local's recommendation and it was fabulous. The salad was fresh and the atmosphere plain old fun. The bread was just like my moms....I tried to get the recipe but I couldn't get the ratios, haha Thank you, I hope to be beach when I'm in the neighborhood :) read more

I'm not from this area and was wanting pizza at about 9:30 PM. Checked local Yelp reviews and saw Roccos. It was well reviewed, and I decided to give it a try. Called, answered promptly, was helpful answering a few questions I had and I ordered a 14" pepperoni, sausage, extra sauce. I arrived about 20 minutes later, before closing, and I really liked that this was a neighborhood shop. When I went in, the staff (who seemed to be family, as far as I could tell), was welcoming and that was nice as well. I asked for some red pepper flakes, and they were happy to oblige. As a twenty something kid rang me out, what seemed to be the owner (I really don't know), asked me if I wanted some plates to go as well. The owner kind of punched me in the arm in a friendly way, and said, hey anything else we can do for ya? I said, yes, do you have a fork and a knife? He said, "I'll give you some real ones if you bring them back!" That was funny! Fact is, the pizza was so good, I'd definitely bring them back, but I probably wouldn't get them through security at the airport. I only was there for a few minutes, but if this is how they treat their customers, they must be really successful and run a great business. Other places could learn a lot from Rocco's. Oh yeah - the PIZZA! It was amazing. Sweet sausage, pepperoni and just a little extra sauce, just how I like it. NY Style (can I say that in NJ??). Five stars gents. Thanks for everything. The pizza was great and I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

It's pizza. Pretty typical. With so many pizza/Italian places in the area, I can't say this place stands out, but it's also not bad. If you're in the area and want a quick pick up of pizza or sandwiches, it's a good go to spot. read more

Sausage is in little little pieces like crumbs . Bottom is saggy . they dont know how to make a real pizzia .

We had Rocco's cater a family event Wednesday night. The ordering and delivery was top tier and professional. The staff was amazing and super accommodating to our needs. We ordered chicken parm, chicken francese, meatballs, ziti, antipasto, and garlic knots. Everything was absolutely delicious. Hands down best garlic knots I've ever eaten. read more

They have pineapple pizza, so that's a win. My daughter likes thin crust so that's a win and her book and my husband will eat anything that doesn't eat him first. They have good sauce for their garlic knots.. I wish they offered a kid menu. That's the only downside I'm not gonna order a huge plate of food for my kid that won't eat pizza. read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Buffalo chicken slice - Italian Near Me - Avenel, New Jersey

I currently live in Avenel and have tried every pizza spot in the area. I always find myself comparing a new place to Rocco's and wondering why I didn't just go to Rocco's in the first place. This isn't your Instagram-bullshit pizza place - this is regular, thin crust, crispy yet chewy, Jersey pizza. The prices are great and the food is always consistently good. I don't usually like reviewing places for service, because restaurants SHOULD be about the food and the food alone, but the Rocco's staff are such lovely people. They don't give you that fake "flight attendant" friendliness. I felt special because the workers remembered me, but they really do remember and know most of their customers, as the locals choose Rocco's over all the other pizza spots in the area. What really set this place apart is when my boyfriend and I placed an order for pickup and he had forgotten one of the items in our order. Before we even discovered anything was missing, we heard a knock on our door, and standing there was one of Rocco's staff with our missing item. They could've called and told my boyfriend to go back, but they took the initiative and delivered it to us, even when it was my boyfriends fault (not theirs)! I'm moving to Philadelphia in February. I will severely miss this place. read more

This is the best a pizza and food in Woodbridge area! This is my Friday night go to restaurant!!

Took the recommendation of a few locals to try this spot. Giving it 2 stars because the pizza was ok, I've had worse....but I've most definitely had better. Also, I made the mistake of ordering a grilled chicken Cesar salad. The chicken was extremely dry and overcooked, almost tasted old. The romaine and it's 7 croutons was mediocre at best. Try somewhere else. read more

This is my first time trying Roccos. I ordered a large pie with extra cheese and sausage with mozzarella sticks on the side. The staff was very friendly when I arrived and treated me like I've been coming there for years. This is my new pizza spot! As a New Yorker I am a tough pizza critic but they nailed it. read more

Rocco's Pizzeria - Plain & Sicilian slices - Italian Near Me - Avenel, New Jersey

Yum. You really have to wow me to get a 5 star review but this is one of those small establishments that surprisingly won me over. We saw that Rocco's was listed in a top pizzeria list on NJ.com and decided to give it a shot. A regular meat lovers pie and an order of garlic knots later and I'm in love. The pizza is thin crust with plenty of toppings and all of the flavors just melted together perfectly. The garlic knots are up there with the best I've ever had. Pair the good food with the super friendly staff and you have a winner in your hands. We will be back. read more

Very good pizza and the garlic knots are a great side dish. I think it might be a tad pricey but I think that you pay for the quality. It's better than your typical dominos, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. I would like to try a few more meals out, but will give them a four for now. read more
