Rotola’s Pizzeria

If you’re looking for a great happy hour, a quick cheap lunch, or somewhere to watch the next game… try Rotola’s!!! Because it’s so close to home, I eat something from here at least twice a month. They just opened not long ago, and the new owner and staff are great. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, even for being teens/20-somethings…I’m extremely impressed with the customer service!
Things I love about Rotola’s
The mozzarella sticks are amazing, always hot and fresh, and you get 10 at a really good price!
The wings are delicious, and I generally don’t like bone-​in wings, crispy and saucy and huge for wings!
The fried pickles and mac’n cheese bites are fun, and great for games. Dip ‘em in some ranch and they’re scrumptious!
The cheese bread is only $ 4.99 and it’s a huge pizza basically with no sauce (I never get sauce on my pizza anyway) So it’s a bargain!
I like the lunch options– salads are always fresh, the mini-​taco pizzas are delicious, and for the price of chicken strips and fries, you can’t get any better, hotter, fresher than here!
Plus, I’ve never been charged for sauces, and that’s awesome! I hate when places charge for sauces, especially when you serve so many dippable things!
Cons:
We tried to order 2 orders of wings on a gameday, and were told we could only order 1 order. What’s the purpose of this? If you know there’s a game coming up, stock up better, or serve what you have and either go buy some more at the albertsons across the parking lot, or tell people you’re out. But don’t limit paying customers on the assumption you’ll sell out later, that’s just bad business!
When I first started coming here I always got 10 mozzarella sticks, I always got a side salad with my chicken strips and fries, and a large amount of fried pickles when I ordered them or fries with my strips. Now the amounts have started to vary. Sometimes I get 8 – 9 sticks, I don’t get salad with my lunch strips anymore, the fried pickle and french fry amounts given have dwindled… and well that just sucks. I want to know that what I’m getting will be the same ever single time I come.
The pizza crust is a little too thick/​dense/​biscuit like. It’s just not very good. It needs to be thinner with more yeast… this is why I don’t order pizza at this pizza place often, I’m reminded every time I get a mini, why I don’t get a big one!
Other than these few things that can be approved upon easily, my only other suggestion I have for this place is to serve larger containers of dipping sauces. Instead of having to pour 10 individual ranch cups for times like gamedays where people get an assortment of apps, just pour a small soup cup worth, or something… less time, less waiting, less waste.

This place is the best in the area! My family lives is St. Helens but travels to Beaverton area a lot we always like to get something good to eat before heading back to our little town. We stopped for some food and got some snacks for the road and everything we got was awesome. My favorite was the deep fried pickles super crunchy and great flavor. We will definitely be back to try more stuff.

Their pizza, soda and extra slice for 5 bucks is a steal. The slices are massive and quite tasty. Save your money on those 5 dollar fast food menu items, this is where it’s at. Would recommend to anyone for a lunch time visit. My advice is to get there early, the deal expires at 4pm. Only available mon-​fri.

We wanted to try a new pizza place and found this was close to where we were at at the time. After reading a bit of the menu, we ordered 2 medium pizzas and garlic fries to be picked up.
I’ll start with the garlic fries, which sounded really good, but was a big let down. At first, it didn’t seem like the fries were even seasoned with garlic at all. The fries did taste like they were frozen. After a few, we found that all of the seasoning for the fries was at the bottom of the to-​go dish. The garlic seasoning was decent tasting, we just had to pick it off the bottom and sprinkle it over the fries ourselves (after we had added garlic salt ourselves).
The pizza itself wasn’t too bad for me (I had the pepperoni, sausage, and olive). It came with a good amount of toppings for each. The crust of the pizza was fine for me, wasn’t too greasy either. My fiancée had a chicken, garlic, and feta pizza. The flavors of it were really good but the crust of the pizza wasn’t all that great at all, was bland and seemed like it was frozen.
Overall, not a bad experience, I’m not sure if we’ll go back, maybe if we were in the area again, we would. I’d say definitely give this place a try as everyone’s opinions and experiences are different.

Just tried first time, excellent pizza, great
price. Will definitly be back to explore more
menu items!

Had a personal sausage pizza. It was really good and not too expensive. Service was really attentive and nice.

After ordering my pizza on the phone and getting there and having to wait 10 minutes they finally come out and tell me that they have burnt my pizza and will have to remake me another one. If I would like to wait 20 more minutes. I said no thank you I’ve been waiting way too long and I’m not doing that. Once I decided I wanted my money refunded back they decided to keep the tip. Who the hell does that.

I like to try places close and had not got around to this one. So glad I did! Great caesar salad, great pizza and very nice waitress.
They also deliver & I am in range so I’ll have to take advantage of that.
And, very reasonably priced…
I’ll be back.

I can’t believe the grumpy crew is gone! I miss the disapproving looks of annoyance and argumentative approach to customer service. Who wants to be greeted with a smile and have their business appreciated? Not this guy. I’ll be taking my business where nobody knows or cares what my name is. Take the service down a notch and maybe, maybe I’ll be back.

Very good pizza and friendly staff. My favorite Pizza is the Pepperoni on thin crust. Yummy! They continue to expand their menu to offer alternatives to pizza, which is always a plus. This is a definite recommend — great value and they just keep getting better.

All I can say is Yum yum Yum!!! Delicious crust, great customer service, and friendly atmosphere. Can’t go wrong here.
