Rocco’s Pizza

This place has a cult following. Friends in Cleveland are always envious that I am right around the corner from Roccos. If you want a great, greasy, covered in cheese pizza by all means, this is the best! If you want an overpriced, taste like cardboard, disappointment order from Donatos or any other number of chains. Btw the chicken is really good too!

Highlight was salad because of the creamy mozzarella and how cold the lettuce tasted. Pizza was extremely salty. Love to patronize local businesses but this place has to be getting killed by chains. I would rather eat pizza anywhere else. Staff were super friendly.

My wife and I decided to stop by for lunch, when we got there we were informed that the fryers hadn’t even been turned on and would be a 30 to 45 minute wait for anything on that part of the menu. So since it’s a pizza place we decided on the pizza. The pizza was ok, didn’t seem fresh even though it appears we were the first customers that day. The lady working wasn’t overly helpful and seemed disinterested in us.
Obviously I’m not a regular and don’t know if this was just a bad day, which I’m willing to concede is a possibility. Just was Very disappointed in the lack of preparedness and how it affected both the food quality and overall experience.
This was over a year ago and I have not been back so I don’t know if things have changed. I hope this helps as your placed was well reviewed part of why we stopped there in the first place, so I am not against giving it another try at some point

Pizza is good but totally overpriced. They have been in this building forever so you know that it’s paid for and their overhead is low. There are much better pizza deals in the area. I don’t recommend going their until they offer better deals. OVERPRICED!

Arguably the best pizza in town. The chicken and jojos are amazing. The hotwings are good too. I recommend spending the extra $ 1.50 and getting extra cheese on the pizza. They don’t deliver, but oh well.

For Pizza it is ok. Had it twice but get pizza regularly elsewhere. Very greasy. A friend of mine thinks it is better than sex!
Great for birthday parties! Conditioned space with video games! Kids love it & the staff is very friendly and were spot-​on during our party. You can bring your own cake!

We ordered two large pizzas, chicken and Jo Jo’s on our last visit. The pizza was good but the chicken and Jo Jo’s were the best part. The Jo Jo’s were just how I like them — not too big. I never like it when restaurants give you a full quarter cut potatoes as a Jo Jo. These were thinner with a very good breading. The service over the phone was very good and accommodating. We ordered ½ toppings on the pizzas and they came out just as we asked. One suggestion to first-​timers though, be sure you know which Rocco’s you called. There is this one on Portage and there is one on Graham Rd. Not too far apart but when your hungry, that’s precious time lost. I speak from experience.

This is the best pizza in Akron, without a doubt. Reasonably priced, which is good because it is absolutely addicting! It’s a family-​owned business, and everyone who works here provides fast, friendly service.
You can either call ahead and pick up your pizza or eat in the little dining room; which, in typical pizzeria style, is lined with cozy booths with checkered table cloths, and pictures and maps of Italy hang on the wall.
There’s no delivery, but trust me when I assure you that this pizza is worth it. My lady and I have driven from Lakewood several times to pick up a pie (which may or may not have been completely gone by the time we got back…). I regret nothing.
I had several off the hook birthday parties in the party room here. Granted, I was probably 8 or 9. BUT THERE IS DONKEY KONG. Mortal Kombat. Frogger. And all kinds of classic arcade games. Add pizza to that equation and it is a blissful utopia of happiness and joy. I’m totally having my next birthday party here. All of you awesome Unilocalers are invited.
