Almost 2 hours for what was supposed to be a 40m delivery. I usually don't review a place after the first try (well, this would be my second one in just a couple of weeks so I guess I can stop saying that now) but I'm gonna guess this is not unusually for Rocco's. Though judging by some of the recent reviews it seems they may have changed some.
I was disappointed because being from NY I love trying places that claim to have NY style pizza and use the term "Pizzaria" in their name (plus they have NY Giants memorabilia in the shop, what's not to like :)). The delivery guy was very kind and apologetic for the late delivery and when it comes to hard working young men and woman I never hold it against them. I wish I could say that the late delivery was a cause for the pizza not being to NY standards but the crust and the sauce just weren't up to par. This place came highly recommended by co-workers several times over so I just had to try it, again, maybe at some point they were but not anymore. We had friends over that day and ended up having to order a pie from DeLucia's because I didn't want them to leave thinking this was the so-called famed NY style pizza I've been raving about for so long.
I'll definitely try Rocco's at least one more time in person but as NY pizza goes in this town I've realized that there are places that are pretty consistent in how they make their pizza and can't imagine Rocco's recipe changing enough to satisfy my occasional craving for a taste from home. Maybe they have Zeppoles? That would make me come back for sure!
Happy eats ya'll!
