I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service at this pizza gem. Despite being the only one on staff, the gentleman who helped us was incredibly friendly and quick on his feet, serving up a very fresh and delicious pizza! The commitment to quality here is undeniable. I'm already planning my next visit for when those pizza cravings hit. Highly recommend to all!

What a nice little italian spot ! Chris was fast and friendly. He brought out our food at the same time . That was impressive as he was by himself today. Pizza was Perfect! We also got a veal sandwich, chicken fingers, garlic bread, & wedges. Everything was delicious 😋. Thank you again🙂. I didn't get pictures of everything as we dug in right away!

Very good pizzeria the owner says he's the third one to take it over. He told me that he makes his own sauce. Pizza was good

When I walked in I was informed that ownership was changed. It is clean on the inside and looked nice. On this particular day there was only one person at the shop. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs to-go, which came up to about 13 dollars.

Our capricciosa pizza was extremely salty today November 26 picked up at 5:40 pm. You can see that looks salt was added after pizza was cooked. Still previous orders have been excellent and it will continue to buy there.

So tonight we tried Rocco's for the first time. They have been there only a week so far. The kitchen is open style so you see everything from start to finish. The chef does an amazing job with his pizzas and they look beautiful. I had the Quatro Fromagi pizza which came with 4 different kinds of cheese. I couldn't wait to try it when I got home (obviously). My fiance had the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce is flavorful with the perfect amount and they give a generous amount of meatballs where most places will only give you 3 or 4. I think they will become our new pizza and pasta go to. They also offer delivery and have a site online from which you can decide what you are gonna have. 5 out of 5 would eat again.

I cant comment on the food, because I called the place up to ask for a veal sandwich, and the person who answered was very rude. I didnt quite hear what they said but assume they were trying to tell me they had no veal today. Ill never know because they immediately hung up on me. I tried calling back to order something else, but they picked-up, yelled something angrily, and hung up the phone again. Obviously, they were having a bad day, but dont take it out on a customer! I cannot recommend this place as a result.

*UPDATE* Now they are saying customers cant use debit unless they spend over ten bucks.. It is like they want to go out of business. Wish this place was as good as it was two years ago :( today at lunch I walked right by it because apparently they dont want my money - I can pay with debit at almost every other pizza shop and there are a ton of them here in south Etobicoke. I have adjusted to two star s- everything has gone down hill in the last two years. Its a shame. Anybody else feel like a lot of positive ratings sound like they are from friends of the owner? or is it just me? lol I used to really enjoy coming here. I still love their food however since summer started it is unbelievably hot in the restaurant. I cant be in there even long enough to order before I am soaked in sweat. I used to go there every single day for lunch but it is unbearable in there. Maybe they think they are saving money by not turning on the AC - business has probably slowed down since COVID and many businesses are looking to cut costs (plus artificially high energy costs put a disproportion stress on expenses). Instead they are driving away even more people.

We ordered spaghetti and meatballs and also Alfredo. The sauce on the spaghetti and meatballs was so salty we could not eat it. It was so bad we threw it out. Wow how do you serve that to people.

Not a good experience since new management has taken over the business. I work in the area and used to stop in a few times a week for lunch. I wont go back now. The new manager picks and chooses his hours. Some days hes closed early, and other days he doesnt open at all. He no longer takes card under $10, and most days if you walk in he will tell you he has no pizza that day. When there IS pizza, its awful. Not nearly what it used to be. What kind of pizza place has no pizza some days and wont take my money? This new guy will run this business into the ground...

Ordered a margherita pizza. Came home, opened the box and found no basil. Pretty much just a cheese pizza. I called and told them they forgot the one topping that comes in a margherita pizza. She says I have to request the basil since some people dont like basil. I told her basil is included when I order a margherita, if people dont want it, its up to them to request without it...or order a cheese pizza. She said next time come in and theyll put double basil. A week later I call in and order a margherita pizza with double basil and explained to her I got no basil last time. She says ok. I go pick it up and theres like 4 basil leaves on the whole pizza...I said there is barely any basil and she says sorry we ran out. Not returning. I only came here cuz my fav spot was closed. For the best pizza in Etobicoke, head over to Revolver Pizza on Royal York Rd.

Pretty meh all around. The tortellini and spaghetti and meatballs were bland. Bruschetta was a joke - a bunch of diced white onions with a sprinkling of tomatoes on a huge slab of ciabatta. Pizza was too salty. Pros were the low prices and big portions, but the food wasn t good enough to warrant eating it all. Took quite a while to get the food ordering from Uber eats.

I heard about this place. They say it was good. First of all, Im glad I can buy just a slice again. Now the pizza slice I had was amazing. The small pepperoni the cheese the sauce and the crust were all perfection. This is a very good pizza . I recommend and will be back and will spread the word. The lady working there was polite and professional 5 *****

We as one of the big 3 companies in Ontario called this place with more than 45 min notice for a pizza for the guys at work for lunch. We said we would be there for noon sharp to pick up said pizza. The person working was just standing their checking her phone then looked up and asked how I could be helped. I replied here for pickup for John. She looked shocked and said oh my God Im so sorry I forgot to make your pizza. I was talking to my boss on the phone and I was so busy. Im sorry. The place did not have one person in it and its not like orders were piked up waiting to go, at least not that could be seen. This is not the first time this has happened with this place. I honestly believe it to be a employee by employee thing. They have great food, no doubt. Great pizza too. This is why we tried again as a company to order from there. But after the second time goin back to the yard with no lunch for the guys, we will never order from here again.

Garlic bread was super dry, and only one half of the bread had cheese and garlic and butter. Un satisfactory. Pasta was mediocre at best. Undercooked, not enough sauce. The Cesar salad was very soggy. Word to the wise on delivering a salad, PUT THE DRESSING ON THE SIDE. Oh, and my spaghetti and meatballs were not cooked and it tasted bad, I didnt end up eating it. McDonalds was better. 1st and last order from here.

I used to live in the area and ordered Roccos at least once per week. I didnt realize there was a change of ownership and ordered the other day when I was in the neighbourhood. The pizza cost 40% more than it used to ($22 now $28) and it wasnt as good. The pizza was smaller and it had less cheese. It also had those dry, topping-less cooked air bubbles. I definitely wouldnt return at those prices.

This place is within walking distance of where I live and I finally tried it, I regret every time I ve ordered pizza that didn t come from this place. The prosciutto and fig pizza is simply amazing, however the margheritta pizza was quite large with only about 5 leaves of basil, which was disappointing. The crust has a nice balance of chew to crisp and was perfectly cooked. They use high quality ingredients and it is very obvious. I also got a burek, very good though just have them warm it up to retain the crisp. All in all a very clean place with friendly staff and the food is top notch.

After going to see Into the Spiderverse at the nearby Cineplex Cinemas and VIP theater on the Queensway I decided to stop here with my friend and order something to eat. The person who made our Pizzas at the time was very pleasurable to be around, the food came almost immediately after we ordered it, and to my surprise it was absolutely delectable. We ordered a XL Meat Lovers Pizza (pictured below) for around $25 CAD and it popped out of the oven around 10 minutes after it being ordered. It maintained this level of sweet and savory where the meats and the sauce combined together to create something truly magical. On top of this my friend and I were given two cans of Pop on the house with our XL order which made the delicious food, affordable price, and quick cook time all the more better. If you happen to be in the area for business, seeing a movie, sightseeing, or even just shopping, Roccos pizza & pasta is a complete recommendation from me and I honestly believe this location that opened just a month ago is a hidden gem among all food places nearby. To summarize: I cannot recommend eating here enough as the food is affordable, absolutely delicious, and quickly made.
