| - Yeah, this is the best pizza I've had in Pittsburgh, and I've tried most of the options. Rockaway is worth my half hour drive in each direction to get it.
Most pizza shops around here seem to always have something holding back the quality of the product. The cheese and sauce might be good, but the crust sucks. The crust and sauce are good, but the cheese tastes like shit, it's undercooked, etc. etc. I'm used to compromising on pizza, because no one around here seems to know what the hell they're doing.
Rockaway, however, has obviously made it a point to get everything right. Ingredients, cooking method, value, and presentation... all beyond expectations.
The crust had the right consistency and taste, the sauce was flavorful but not overbearing, and the cheese is phenomenal. We got our pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni, both of which came in generous portions and tasted excellent. Keep in mind, this is AFTER spending over a half hour in my car on the ride home. Really impressive.
Not to mention the fact that the pizza, with an order of pepperoni knots only cost $22. It's a damn good deal, considering I've spent closer to $30 in Pittsburgh for pizza alone, and it was smaller and far shittier than Rockaway's.
Also, I should mention how refreshing it is that this place cuts your pizza into 8 massive slices instead of hacking it into a dozen and a half 2" little bitch-sized portions. And the pepperoni knots... I was shocked to see how many were in the box.
If you haven't given this place a shot yet, do it.
