Rockers Pizzeria — Restaurant in Vergennes

If you're looking for a foolproof excuse to cancel plans, Rockers Pizzeria has you covered. The sheer volume of grease pooling on your plate will send you on a fast track to gastrointestinal ruin, ensuring you'll spend the next 24 hours regretting both your life choices and your lunch. If you've ever needed a medically sound reason to call out sick, look no further—just don’t stray too far from a toilet.

For a better experience, skip Rockers and head to Maplefields—the gas station with the red roof. Their pizza is more edible, the staff less hostile, and the overall cleanliness far exceeds the grease-stained disaster that Rockers dares to call a restaurant. When a gas station puts a pizzeria to shame, something has gone terribly wrong.

The pizza—if it can even be called that—is a greasy, paper-thin disgrace, a limp excuse for food that tastes like compressed boredom and regret. Each bite offers the texture of a wet napkin and the consistency of something that has given up on itself. A frozen pizza cooked in a hotel microwave would have more dignity. The salads are passable—at least you won’t need a lifeguard on duty to rescue you from drowning in all the grease on your plate—but that’s the best praise this place will get. I’ve suffered through Rockers about ten times now, each visit confirming that my wife only drags me back because it’s the only place in town with an allegedly decent salad. The only reason to stop here is if Maplefields doesn’t have any pizza out and you need a bite during a 30-minute lunch break—just make sure you have nowhere important to be afterward, due to the aforementioned diahrrea.

As if the food weren’t punishment enough, the staff treats customers like an inconvenience, taking orders with the enthusiasm of prisoners assigned to hard labor. Any request beyond the bare minimum is met with a sigh, an eye-roll, or outright disdain. And cleanliness? Forget it. Tables sit unwiped, floors are a minefield of crumbs, and the air carries a faint aroma of old grease and regret, like a ghost singing "99 Bottles of Pepto-Bismol on the Wall." If this place owns a mop, it hasn't been used since opening week in 2020 (or maybe they mop the floors with the grease leftover in the trash cans?).

This place is not just bad—it’s a cautionary tale. Avoid it and take your appetite somewhere that won’t make you suffer for having taste buds. Go to 3-Squares, Ferrisburgh Bakeshop, Park Squeeze, or even Black Sheep Bistro—if you're feeling fancy. If all else fails, hit up Maplefields. And if you really crave a self-inflicted case of food poisoning, save yourself the bill: take a frozen Red Baron extra thin crust pizza soak it in an entire bottle of vegetable oil, zap it in the microwave for 45 seconds, throw it on the floor, pick it up, and eat it while watching a YouTube video of a Gen-Z influencer scream into a microphone and make stupid faces at the camera. It’ll be the same experience—minus the...

I really love the food! However...

A lot of times things are missing from my orders, drinks, sauces and other things. I forgive them and don't typically make a stink about it because I really respect the fact that they're doing delivery in this small town and I know it's like to own a business especially in the food industry. I understand that things get a little crazy during dinner rush, and sometimes new staff are still learning the ropes.

Owners:

Please take this as constructive feedback, I really love your business, and I typically tip 30% or more on delivery orders because I believe in the value of supporting the local economy.

Please review your hunger rush configuration, there's been countless times that I've ordered modifications to burgers or sandwiches leaving me without bacon or other things on stuff... When I look at the printout that's on the bag, I typically don't see these modifiers on there despite paying extra for them via hunger rush's online ordering system.

I love your guys restaurant, guitars are cool, and I respect you folks for being a great value proposition for delivery. Please kindly double check order modifiers and ensure that all sauces and stuff are fulfilled in your...

Best pizza in Vermont, hands down, not even close! My wife and I have to drive past rockers whenever we have to bring our St. Bernard to the vet, and usually end up grabbing a bite to eat at the McDonald’s. This time however we noticed that a new pizza place had taken over the spot and decided to give it a try. Wow, we are so happy we did! Not only is the pizza huge, like it was when I grew up in Philly, it was also crispy, almost like a wood fired, but the dough is thin, not mushy like a lot of the other pizza places around. And just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The marinara is delicious, and warm, and for 4 huge slices and a drink for under 20$ that’s hard to beat in this horrible economy. I spoke with the husband, and he was very warm and personable, and we appreciated him taking a moment to speak with us, and our dog enjoyed him and his daughter as well! I don’t normally do reviews, but I know a winner when I see one and I just had to say something. We will stop by, each and every time we go past. You guys are going to be a force to recon with, I see multiple stores in your future! Jeremy& cheryl...
