“ Clean, home-made delicious food, and great customer service. This place is kid friendly, with a mini arcade. We were sat right away, food came out promptly. Food was FRESH and pizza is DELICIOUS. Something that MUST be recognized: they aren't gouging their prices. Money well spent. ”
“ Walked in to pick up takeout and wished I had dined in!!! The food is amazing, but the vibes of the restaurant are also amazing! A good old school pizza place, super friendly staff, clean, will definitely be coming back! ”
“ I knew the pizza would be good when a sweet Italian Momma said "Es-samalla-pizza-ready!!" I was right - it's was delicious!!! ”
“ This place is not bad for pizza, despite the negative reviews. We were staying at the Azure Palms Hot Springs Resort and looking for something other than Mexican food. There are limited options for food at Desert Hot Springs, so Pizza sounded good. Overall the pizza was very good. The crust was not soggy and not too bready. Service was great. We were in and out pretty quick. Its not the greatest but I would come here again. ”
“ The best New York style pizza in town! We enjoyed eating Rocky's pizzas. The pizza always hot, fresh and delicious! ”
“ Thank you again!!!!! I got my egg plant Parmesan! That fresh veggie and the tasty homemade sauce! And the cheesy top! Boom. You did it again. FYI it freezes well! I brought a second dish and frozen it to fly with it backwork in the Bay Area! And this is the re ”
“ Decent pizza and had it a few times. Always want to support local businesses. We'll definitely come back when we got the pizza munchies. ”
“ Born and raised in New York, I like to think of myself as some what of a "pizza" aficionado:) In Desert Hot Springs there are plenty of Mexican restaurants but not many authentic Italian or Pizzerias here. So, I have been here a few times and find the pizza to be quite good. Rocky's pizza is more of what we New Yorkers call Sicilian style pizza which is a thicker crust (more doughy), lots of gooey cheese and garlic. YUM! At this time you can only order pickup/delivery. *No eating inside since Covid. The menu also includes hot and cold sandwiches, salads and a few pasta dishes. -Prices are moderate -Wait time after ordering is fast -Staff is very friendly -Plenty of street parking and a big parking lot. ”
