I was in Park Rapids for a wedding on one of the hottest weekends of the year, and after feeling like I had been slow-roasting in the Minnesota sunshine, I needed two things: lunch and air conditioning. Rocky's caught my eye, and I'm glad it did. From the outside it's an unassuming place, but once you step in you're greeted with that old-school small-town charm that's getting harder to find. Think comfortable booths, classic décor, and the kind of atmosphere that feels like it's been bringing people together for years. The hospitality was outstanding. It seemed like every person who walked through the door was either greeted by name or welcomed like they had been coming there forever. You could tell this wasn't just a restaurant, it was part of the community. The menu is packed with comfort food. Along with burgers, sandwiches, baskets, and hearty entrées, they offer a great lineup of specialty pizzas, build-your-own options, fresh salads, and a smorgasbord of appetizers from cheese curds and onion rings to wings, mozzarella sticks, and other favorites that made it hard not to order more than I needed. The whole menu felt thoughtfully put together, like the owners actually know what people enjoy eating instead of trying to be like every other place. I ordered a pizza and salad, and both were excellent. The pizza had a flavorful crust, plenty of toppings, and tasted like the kind of pie people keep coming back for. The salad was fresh and a perfect complement on a hot summer day. One of my favorite parts, though, was simply looking around the room. There were families sharing lunch, couples on midday dates, retirees catching up over coffee, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was a snapshot of small-town Minnesota at its best. If you find yourself in Park Rapids, whether you're headed to the lakes, Itasca, or just passing through.....Rocky's is worth the stop. Great food, genuine hospitality, and the kind of place that reminds you why local restaurants are often the best part of the trip read more

Pizza is always, always great! We usually get take out but have eaten in a few times and service and ambiance is good.

This is place is unique for Park Rapids . They do have a great menu to choose from and plenty of varieties. You just need to pay a little more to get better quality of food and this is the place. read more

an employee thats name started with a S called me a slur in the parking lot after asking for a chicago style pizza

We had a marvelous experience at Rocky's Pizza House on a snowy winter day. We got the deep dish pizza medium size - perfect for the two of us. We were thinking personal pan of our choice, but the waiter recommended a medium size half Hawaiian Special, half House Special and it was one of the best pizzas I can remember in a long time. We loved their sauce and I loved the spices in the sausage (House Special). Rocky's was highly recommended by a work colleague who grew up in this area as one of the best restaurants in Park Rapids. I could not agree more-great pizza and the service was excellent. Very convenient for us with only a two minute walk even in a snow storm from the Red Bridge Inn. read more

I have been going to rockys for quite a while periodically as I dont live in Minnesota. But if i did live here then this would be one of the most visited restaurants here. Also the soda machine flavor buttons actually work and they NEVER work at other places with it. Service was good and the decorative choices were pretty nice too. read more

I ordered a taco pizza. Where in the world do you put raw green peppers on a taco? Here's how a taco pizza should be made: taco sauce for the sauce, then finely diced onions, ground beef, cheese, bake. Then top with finely shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream and salsa on the side. Viola. Proper taco pizza. If you change your recipe Rocky, you'd sell a ton of these. Why put black olives and raw green peppers, with salad leaves the size of your hand, be ever put on a taco? No! Please fix your taco pizza. read more

Rocky's never disappoints! Staff is always friendly and professional. I loved it tonight that as I was ordering the dough maker walked up behind the cashier saw what I ordered and walked back over to flatten the dough for my pizzas while I was checking out. Pretty cool. Crust is yummy and bready. Sauce has just a small kick at the end plenty of cheese and plenty of creative options in the menu such as a Big Mac style pizza. Lots of awesome sides available too! read more

Rocky's Pizza is one of the best pizza restaurants in the area! I would highly recommend their restaurant. The staff are also kind and courteous. read more

I'm so done with this place. Pizza had numerous pieces that had little to no topping near the edges. I'm not paying 26 dollars for a pizza that is made this poorly and carelessly. Their prices are outrageous, they close the dining room at 6pm....how long can this place possibly stay in business?? Ordered the pizza tonight and went to pick it up and they were obviously not busy and had one couple eating inside. They literally have the worst business plan I have ever seen. If the owners read this, and I'm sure they wont because its obvious they do not car, but if they do, PLEASE sell your business to someone who actually cares about it. read more

Rocky's is a nice place, very clean and spacious. The people working there are very friendly and attentive. They serve up more than just pizza but I came for the pizza. We ordered a large house specialty pizza ( pepperoni,olives,peppers,mushrooms, sausage and onions). We ordered the hand tossed crust and it was cooked to the right doneness. The pizza has so much cheese on it you can barely see the topping. The pizza was very good and I would go back for another pie. I can't give 5 stars because when you pay with a credit card the screen list 4 options for a tip 15,20,25 % or no tip. I do not like that and I feel a bit pressured especially when no real service had yet been provided. I also thought their prices are a little high. read more

Open for takeout and delivery! Great pizza, friendly staff. We enjoyed the southwest pizza and the house special. Both were exactly as listed on the menu, the crust was perfectly crisp on the bottom. Thanks for a great dinner! read more

Went for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Place was empty but the carry out service was booming. Ordered a large pepperoni, the onion petals and cheese curds. I loved the onion petals, wife said the curds were good. Pizza was decent, definitely not the best or worst I've ever had. Extremely overpriced for what it is. read more

I love Rocky's because you never have to order extra cheese. They pack it on! Recently the sauce has changed and is now spicy hot, so much that I can't eat it. I'm sure for someone that likes spicy it would be great. They have a lunch special during the week where you can get a very generous sized slice for $3.00 If you eat here you might want to make sure you have cash or checkbook for a discount. This used to be the actual price until they raised all the prices to cover their fees for people that use plastic. read more

had a large order. four 7 inch pizza's and two 10 inch pizza's. costed $143. way over priced and when they brought them out they said I forgot to order one. I had bbq chicken but there was no flavor of bbq on it at all. very disappointed, will no eat eat there again!!! read more

Rocky's Pizza House made us raise our eyebrows three times in the the first five minutes of arriving. The front door has a sign stressing that you absolutely cannot bring other food in from other establishments. I understand where they are coming from, but to me I felt like I was walking into a very unwelcoming environment from the get go. What if someone has dietary restrictions and they are in a group for dinner? They can't bring in their subway or whatever it is because Rocky's doesn't want to support them by offering a chair and table while they sit with their large group who spent a fortune on their over priced pizza? Seems off putting and unnecessary. Secondly, if you use your credit card they charge $1.50 for a service fee. Is that even legal? We're not sure but we frowned upon it because like I already said, their pizza is overpriced glorified homemade pizza. It's good..but not worth the price they charge, so then to add more cost to it if you want to pay by credit card? Um no. Lastly, they weren't busy at all but somehow cleaning the upstairs seating area must not have been anyone's priority. The few times the workers came upstairs to deliver food to people I thought surely she'd clean up the mess from the four tables but sadly no, she ignored it each time. These little things really impact a restaurants overall appeal. read more

Despite the Bacon Cheese Burger pizza I'm still alive and able to write this review. Holy COw!! I've been eating here forevs and it never lets me down.. Get the taco pizza, most places screw this up but they've go it down. Cheese bread!!! Get it!!! If Guy did a pizza joint tour of america, he would find his way here for the bacon cheeseburger pizza. Absolutely one of the best pies out there. I would know... I've lived in NYC and currently live in Chicago. I love all things pizza. Bring back the fish tank!!!!! read more

We are visiting our parents and they took us here for lunch. We got the noon special, a slice and a soda for $3.75. The pizza was great! Lots of cheese, tangy sauce (my mouth is watering thinking about it) and a crispy crust. The crust was very crispy on the bottom but the top of the crust was fluffy and chewy. Definitely recommended! I hope we have time to stop by again before we leave. read more

I have been enjoying Rocky's Pizza for the last 20 years! One of my joys in life is introducing new people to the great food! This small town favorite has a hard to come by combo of lots of cheese and crispy crust. Bring the team here after practice! Don't leave Park Rapids without trying! read more

Quick service with a smile. One of our top 5 pizza place of all time. Try the sausage!! read more

Pizza was great. Crisp crust and fine ingredients. Ordered the breadsticks and they were just right imo of not being to doughy or hard as a rock. Curbside pick up was easy read more

After reading the reviews, I was not expecting much. However, their pizza exceeded our expectations. One of the best pizzas I've ever had!

They price there food as though it is high quality rich tasting best food you will ever have! I have had there pizza 3 times now and do not see what the big deal is, Casy's makes way better pizza! I can even make better pizza and for half the cost of what they charge! I would not mind paying over $20 for a large pizza that looks like a medium pizza, as long as its the best pizza I have ever tasted and makes me drooling for more, just thinking about it! The only way I would buy Rocky's food again, is if its more affordable then the way better tasting options in Park Rapids! Come on pizza hut has more flavor then Rocky's and Pizza Hut in Park Rapids is nasty also! Half the time I get food from Pizza hut its stale, but at least it has flavor other then cardboard! And cost under $10! read more

Such a great alternative to Pizza Hut fare...which I would give one star, if that. Rocky's pizzas are excellent and family owned. Support your local businesses. read more

Great pizza, great price, and great family feel. Friendly people. Nothing to complain about.

This is my favorite pizza spot in the state, I have been going here since I was a kid vacationing in Park Rapids. Now I bring my wife and kids here. You can't miss with this great pizza joint! read more

I was in town for business and needed takeout for dinner. Not being local, I had no idea what was good. I started looking up places on Yelp. I saw that Rocky's was highly rated, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Wow. Far and away, one of the best thin crust pizzas I've ever had. Reminded me of my favorite thin crust from a place back home in Michigan, except Rocky's was a bit better. The crust was crispy, but had a thickness to it so that it stood up to the sauce, which was savory. It had a yeasty flavor which I always like in a crust. I wish I didn't live three hours away or that someplace in the Twin Cities made a pizza this good. read more

Ordered personal size. Pizza was good really liked crust. person taking order was upbeat and had good personality. Will return!

This was great pizza! Thin crust, loaded with toppings and cheese. What I would classify as bar pizza. My husband and I made the mistake of sharing a large since that's what we do anywhere else. It. Was. Huge. I ate maybe a third of my side. read more

Our order was mixed up with another tables. The other guy demanded a refund and walked out saying he was never coming back. The waiter said he would give us our correct pizza to take home so we ate the mistake pissa. When we went down to pick it up, the manager said since we ate the wrong pizza he couldn't let us have ours to take home. This night they lost one customer for making a mistake, and another for not making it right. read more

This place intrigued me the first time I went through town and we finally stopped yesterday to try it. We had the Italian pizza and macaroni and cheese bites. First of all we got the Mac n cheese bites for the littles and I had to try them. It was deep fried mac n cheese pockets. They were actually really good! They were very cheesy! The kids all loved them! Then the pizza came and it was amazing! It has a great sauce, a great crust and lots of cheese! I would definitely go back to try more!! Love places like this!!! read more

I'm a stop in the park rapids area.And has very good pizza and very neat environment.

Good taco pizza and the price is right would go again and tell others how good the pizza is like the Togo containers taste good warm the next day also just as good as the day before. read more

Watch your credit card bill !!!! While the pizza was good it was hard to swallow the $1.50 credit card usage fee, but to top it off I get home and look at my receipt and the $27 pizza bill had a $32 tip added to it. I wanted the whole bill to be $32. I called thinking this would be an easy fix but the owner said the money had been given out and nothing would be done. It's sad to think they would not say something about that excessive a tip especially at a place you get your own pop and the only service rendered is brining you the pizza, nothing else. It's not the type of treatment I'm used to getting and can't believe they would not make this right. read more

Where to begin....extremely disappointed two medium pizzas and jolepeno poppers 49 dollars and change. WTF! How can this place justify these prices? I ordered a chili dog supreme and was expecting quality but what I got was Oscar Meyer hot dogs topped with hormel chili out of a can. The other Pizza my buddy got was virtually sauce less like eating meat on cardboard. On the upside the poppers were good....besides from the fact that you only get 6 for the price of your first born. Save yourself the utter disappointment and half your bank account and just go to Walmart and get a Jack's or red barron you will be glad you did. read more

Great pizza. The cheese is thick and amazing. Love the chicken bbq pizza and the Italian combo. NO BEER. Major bummer. Pizza is always better with a pitcher. I also could have done without the religious propaganda targeted at kids. I will teach my kids about religion, not a pizza place. read more

We ordered 2 sandwiches and they were disgusting. I took two bites. It was like slop slapped between a panini. My dog's tird would have tasted better and it would have been free. It is too bad because I like to support local, but you're better off heading to subway which is right next door. It was really expensive too. read more
