    Uncle Sal's Spectacular
    Derek P.

    Never had a bad experience at this location. Staff is always very polite and helpful. Ordered takeout...Uncle Sal's and of course breadsticks. 50 years of some of the best pan pizza in WI.

    Cheese Regular Slice

    Rocky Rococo Pizza: Rocky's is my go to local pizza chain. Although there are multiple locations, the chain is primarily in Wisconsin. The first restaurant opened in my college town of Madison back in 1974. They're known for my favorite type of pizza, which is pan style. Their crust is thick, soft, chewy, and flavorful. I'm a cheese pizza guy most of the time, but if you like sausage Rocky's sausages are some of the biggest I've seen in the pizza industry. As many fond memories as I have of Rocky's, I felt that this most recent pie fell kind of flat. By flat I mean that the pizza did not really pop on the taste buds, but was a little bland. It has been a few years since I've had it and I think my palate has simply evolved as I've tried more non-chain pizza parlors (I mean when I was five I would have said McDonald's has the best tasting cheeseburgers in the world). For a chain/fast food pizza joint I would still recommend Rocky's, but unlike my undergrad days it is no longer my go to pizza. Doughboy approved as a fast food pizza, but just okay when comparing it to other pizza restaurants. My favorite Pizza Chains: 1. Pizza Hut 2. Rocky's 3. The rest kind of suck Doughboy_Food_Reviews

    Italian Sausage Regular Slice- okay maybe
    Ben W.

    Nothing to write much about. They use basic ingredients with a unique tomato sauce that is okay, nothing special but always crave those breadsticks from time to time. A slice and 6 piece of breadsticks are 7+$. Nothing great except for the first few bites but like how they have a drive thru at this location.

    Pizza was fresh and hot. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pizza was good, a bit plain but it was good nonetheless.

    I have been enjoying Rocky Rococco Pizza since the 1980s. While a student at UW-Madison we could be frequently found at the Rocky's on State Street or Gilman Street. A slice of Cheese & Sausage and a Whole Wheat Muffin was our Go-To order. Today I enjoyed the Sausage & Roni Super Slice. I like the quality of the ingredients and the zesty Italian Sausage.

    It's as old school as it gets for their original pan pizza. Little trivia...... This location was an original Rocky's but closed down and reopened again. Out in Waukesha is another old Rocky's location but is now Oscars Custard. Go check it out to see how similar it is to the original building. Place got a grade "A" by the city health board or whomever reviews it. Pizza is still delicious and still comes in that box. Get some breadsticks while your at it. Gave only 4 stars due to you have to have them refill your beverage and the price of food could be a bit lower. Employees were very nice and helpful also.

    Sausage and pepperoni super slice take home
    Melissa S.

    I've been coming here for years for your basic pizza. The sausage are good sized and I like the sauce and deep dish style. Maybe the place could get a little building makeover but usually it seems clean when I've been there. Usually a small salad bar is available but not as of right now. If you are ordering a whole pizza be patient it can take 20 or more minutes to make. They do have combos for sliced pizza or pastas and breadsticks. Everyday is a slice of the day if you just want a slice or combo you can get a regular size or super slice. They have signature pizzas or create your own toppings for different price. I like the gooey hot cheese with customized toppings when you get the dine in deep dish pan and sometimes the crunchy cheese gets on the crust edges so yum

    Met friends at Zaffiro's for dinner, a place they consider one of their favorites. They have always…read moreraved about how incredible the pizza is, and I have to agree. This old school, family owned restaurant is very much a neighborhood classic that has stood the test of time. The thin crust is the perfect base for the amazingly tangy Italian sauce. The toppings are generously portioned, and the pizza (available in 12" & 14") is cut into squares, which make it all too easy to eat more! We started with the fried mushrooms and eggplant, which were very generously sized. Our table of four barely made a dent. The breading on both was great, trapping in the heat, flavors and firmness of the veggies. The eggplant especially, which in my experience can be mushy, was excellent. I loved how it was served with lemon wedges. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the zest of the marinara sauce made the eggplant something I could have eaten just by itself. The restaurant has a bar area first, then a dining room adjacent. The tables here are packed in pretty tight. We ended up at a corner table, and could bump elbows with the people sitting next to us. Still, everyone was respectful of each other's space and no issues were had. Our servers maneuvered through effortlessly and quickly.

Every time I go, I always think, "They come to take orders or simply check on us the perfect amount"--I know they want to ensure I've got everything I need but they don't feel overbearing (this is regarding servers or the bartender). Finally, I order the same thing each time: garden salad with house Italian dressing and the special pizza (sausage, mushroom, onion). Salad is crisp and the pizza is consistent--the best.

I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

    First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

We have ordered garlic knots, cheese pizza and the margherita pizza multiples times- summer of 2025 however, now we can clearly conclude that they have downgraded their service and food. Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.
