My family loves Roco’s! We moved to Long Island five years ago, and it’s still our #1 pizza spot—it’s the best!
Rocco's might possibly be the best pizza on the North shore area from Smithtown to Setauket. I would include Port Jeff, but that would run into another pillar competitor:) The pizza always has a fantastic crust, the heros always have awesome bread, and great meat fillings. Meatballs are absolutely worth getting. Garlic knots, always full of garlic. The sauce is amazing as well. In the mood for a salad? Always fresh, never brown lettuce. Highly recommend any of their specialty slices, chicken Parm, or baked ziti, even grandma slice. Don't forget about the pasta too! I'll add photos next time I'm there.
I lived in St James many years ago (2006 - 2010), had the pizza here and it was phenomenal. I rolled back into town and decided to try it again, and I was not disappointed. I live in Huntington now, and despite all the good pizza around me, even my wife asks me if we could "happen to be" in St James, she would love a slice of pizza.
Got an order to go -Friendly Staff for NY -Their specialty slices on point -Buffalo Chicken Slice & Broccoli Chicken -Trying to get some protein, veggies, & carbs in my diet
I went there today for the first time. I felt like I was eating food from Brooklyn. And anyone who's from Brooklyn knows. You can't compare Brooklyn pizza to Long Island but this place was pretty amazing he. Also gave me an egg plant slice that was off the hook. I will definitely be back there again the food was absolutely delicious
The food was amazing and price was right.it seems now a days you only get one or another.But you can tell Rocco’s is willing to sacrifice a bit of profit to ensure they use the best ingredients..This will be my new go to pizza place while working in the area
Had the best Sicilian slice I have ever had today, hands down! Just the right thickness (to much dough is no good) and crispy crust Sauce was amazing. Husband had the grandma style and loved it. Definitely worth the trip and we will be back for that chicken cutlet parm hero!
Ordered food for my son’s birthday party and while I was ordering decided to order for dinner. Not only were the suggestions a hit grandma pie and chicken Francese a penne vodka dinner but also at my party everyone was asking where the food was from. One more thing we got a call the morning of the party that one of the kids had a dairy allergy and his brother a gluten allergy asking what type of food we were having so the mother was told. When I had said chicken wings with buffalo sauce she asked if they were going to be in the sauce I said yes. So she said he couldn’t have them then. So Inhad called and asked them to but 20 without sauce and they didn’t hesitate to accommodate this request. I 100% recommended them.
