Rotolo's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Longview

I took my family today, around 2 pm, before we headed over to Lowes. As our first visit we entered the restraunt and stood at the host stand for several minutes before we were instructed we could sit anywhere. We selected a booth and realized that the windows, that used to have tint on them and was peeling off, was a quite toasty location to sit with the afternoon sun. The bartender, who was also servicing the entire restraunt came and took our drink orders, I also went ahead and ordered an appetizer, the ricotta dip. The appetizer arrived fairly quickly. A plate filled with marinara sauce and a large dollop of ricotta in the middle covered with parmesan cheese. The plate was also served with 4 thin sliced pieces of toasted garlic bread, which was the equivalent to one peice of bread. There was enough bread to eat less than a 1/4 of the entire appetizer. For $12, more bread would of been nice. After about 15 mins of waiting, the server/bartender came over and took our order. My son got the personal size pepperoni pizza, my wife got the spinach Florentine wrap and I got the house lasagna. We received our food in a timely manner. My son enjoyed his pizza, my wife wasn't expecting the wrap to be hot and wasn't happy about the taste. My lasagna was sub par compared to others. I'm not a fan of the sauce they used in the app or in my dish, it was very sweet and tasted old. The dish was also served with 4 garlic knots, which turned out to be 4 small balls of bread coated in garlic butter and parmesan cheese. Of course these are my opinions and everyone's taste is different. We spent $60 on a meal for 3. I was very disappointed in the service and quality of food for those prices. On the plus side, they did have Diet Dr. Pepper. Don't use restrooms here, smelled bad and felt like a bar restroom.

In summary, this restraunt is not maintained, understaffed, serves low quality food and gives off a New Orleans French Quarter side bar vibe, which could be your cup a...

2022 update

After 1 1/2 years...still my wife's favorite PIZZA. We get one a week.

I have tried their unique collection of small brewery barrel beers. A new one is added when the barrel is empty...never the same barrel twice. They update the line-up daily...and I learned today that their customers can download an app for their phone that profiles all the drafts available.

And as I sit here today placing my wife's pizza order. They are not crowded. But I am wearing a double mask...and I am the only person masked.

Very spacious. Good access for anyone using a walker. THE staff is helpful. The food is good. One person or a group can be comfortably. Seated.

My wife and I moved from Dallas to Longview in 2020. My wife did not want to go OUT.

New Year 2021. My wife wanted WHITE PIZZA. She has food allergies. She found a FABULOUS WHITE PIZZA at Rotolo's Pizzeria. " Oh so good!" Great pizza. Great service. Truly Wonderful take out service. Recommend you phone in your order for pickup. Good website.

Bonus: it is Nextdoor to FABULOUS Smallcakes bakery. You can get both a great meal togo here and a great dessert togo Nextdoor.

Rotolo's Pizzeria is also a Sports Bar with a full menu for dining inside. They were very busy when I arrived. Great selection of draft beers and ale on tap. The selection changes as a new casket of brew is swapped out for an empty. Always FRESH not flat and Wonderful full favor in every pull. Great food and brew combo with BIG SCREEN SPORTS ACTION.

My family decided to have supper there this evening, it was the second time there. Our first visit was a much different experience. Tonight the was very tasty but from the moment we stepped through the door the staff treated us like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. We were told to sit wherever it didn’t matter. The server never gave a name but it was on the receipt was more interested in chatting with the other staff as they all overlooked the trash piled on the floor as they stepped over it to retrieve plates from the cooks window than she was in providing any kind of service at our table. It was slow to get our appetizer and she was irritated we needed more time to choose our meal and that when my husbands Dr Pepper was all soda water he asked for a sprite to replace it. Our cups went empty we had to ask twice for salad dressing but she was prompt halfway through the meal to bring a to go box and our ticket but did not come back for us to pay it. As we tried to pay the lady by the door our ticket was passed back to the server who reluctantly served us we were given a look that will keep us from ever returning. The only positive was the food was tasty but $60 for two adults and 6yr old twins to eat at a pizzeria the food should have...
