I am a transplant from Chicago for over ten years and I have lived in several different parts of the city which allowed me to have tried so many different pizza places. There are some decent spots until I discovered Rocco's. Most people in Chicago eat thin or a medium crust. Yes deep dish pizza is eaten too but not as the go too. Rocco's thin crust is best pizza that I have had and definably a true Chicago pizza. I believe its the sauce which brings me back to my roots. Please try it and you wont be disappointed. Rocco's is outstanding. 2 last notes. I did not rate atmosphere because it is take out place. Last they list a Chicago style pizza which sounds very different. I was told it has the sauce on top of cheese. So it must be deep dish but the menu has both listed on the menu. So I do not want to confuse anyone. I am highly recommending just the standard thin crust which really tastes like how a Chicago pizza should be. Yummy!!!! It's...
Read moreI've been ordering from Rocco's for years, but have slacked off a bit the last few years just to eat a bit healthier. I splurged and ordered on line, got my favorite pizza, pepperoni and canadian bacon and some chicken strips. Their website wouldn't let me use the on line discount code, could have saved me around $4...charged a delivery fee, and then the driver asked for a 15% tip. Hmmmm?
Never have I been disappointed with the food from them until now. The pizza, came on time, but was cold. It almost tasted like they 'dumbed down" the sauce a bit on it too...not as zesty as I remember.
The boneless chicken strips, processed chicken(?), not real filets cut from breasts, also were cold, thin and dried out. I should have stuck with the real, bone in wings, but the last ones I had were mostly skin and fat. Won't be getting wings any longer if I do try Rocco's again. And if I do, I'll order by phone and pick...
Read moreMy wife and I have driven past this place many times always saying we are going to try it and tonight we finally did. I have to say I was really impressed. We got the deep dish meat special 14 inch with the apple dessert pizza. The toppings were really fresh, the cheese had a great constancy and the crust was cooked almost perfectly for a deep dish, with a nice little char on top. The dessert pizza had what tasted like fresh apples on it, and was a huge surprise. We would order the dessert pizza again by itself.
One last thing, we ordered for 5:45 and the pizza showed up at 5:30. Nice and warm, fairly priced for the quality, and I would say overall great experience. Will most definitely order again instead of the chain places...
