The pizza and sodas are cheap, but Pizza Schmizza is better if you're looking to save money and/or time. Pizza is always reheated and the crust tastes stale and hard after sitting out under the lamp for too long. It is a fun location (across from Powell's on Burnside) so if you're not picky about your 'za and want some pocket-pleasing pitchers, Rocco's is a good hang out.

Pros: Fun locale, cheap beer

Cons: Reheated pizza

I've stopped into Rocco's twice now. The first time I thought it was an off day. The second time confirmed that Rocco's serves terrible pizza. The crust is flavorless, tasting like it might be made from cardboard. It's also too thick. The cheese blend was also pretty bland, and the sauce tastes like the kind bought at your typical grocery store (Heinz?). I had to sprinkle on copious amounts of seasonings to make the pizza edible. Avoid.

Pros: Conventient location

Cons: Bad pizza, indifferent service, ugly interior, dirty

large slices, but overloaded and soggy. certainly better in the area, go up the street and get some escape from new york.

Pros: food for $

Cons: soggy luke warm pizza

Other reviewers have already summed up Rocco's pretty well, but I had a few things to contribute. Their biggest flaw, by far, is that they make their most popular varieties (Cheese, Pepperoni, Sausage, etc) way too far in advance. But here's the deal-- don't let the pre-made stuff tempt you. Find a menu. Notice that for the same price, you can order a personal pizza with whatever toppings you want. They'll make it on the spot, and it comes out of the oven in much better shape than the stuff in the warming case. It takes a bit of savvy to get what you want at Roccos, but it's easy to get used to the cheap prices and hip people.

I really didn't enjoy this pizza at all. Ordered a slice for lunch, watched them put it in the oven and yet they still served me a cold slice of pizza. It was stale and bland anyways once they did heat it up. I'm guessing people only like this place because of the convenient location. The pizza was lame.

Pros: location

Cons: pizza

i love this place; been going there about 10 years now. sauce has a nice bite and the slices are BIG. the mushroom & black olives hot out of the oven is probably the best in town...

Pros: great pizza, great value

Cons: none!

Horrible experiences with this place! Off and on about when and where they can/can't deliver, horrible excuses and rude telephone employees/drivers. While the pizza's are GINORMOUS, they aren't anything special. Often spending upwards of $400 on a single order and faithfully ordering for our staff upwards of 6-10 times a year, I'll never ever eat at this place/give my business to this place again. StarkNaked or Blind Onion MUCH better choices!!!

Pros: i suppose if you live close by this might be a place to fill your bellies for cheap!

Cons: rude immature employees, icky too thick pizza, location

It's location is its biggest asset. Everything else pretty much blows.

Pros: the hipness

Cons: dry pizza

Roccos is always the place to go for my girlfriend and I, it's such a great place. The staff rocks, the pizza slices are HUGE, very good value, very tasty old recipe from Rocco's mother I believe. Don't believe the negative reviews, it seriously is wonderful.
