Rocky’s New York Pizza

We had a party of 12 and we split up over 2 tables. We ordered 3 pizzas, 4 salad bars, a caprese salad and bread sticks.
The pizzas were good. Not the best, but decent. The salad bar was okay. The caprese salad was awful. Do not order. Unripe tomatoes, no fresh basil, no balsamic, covered in oil and oregano.
Decent service.
The man at the counter gave the kids blow-​pop lollipops on our way out. So sweet!

This place has good pizza and the reason why I put 3 stars is because when I ordered pizza from them before my pizza was burnt and when I called to complain about it the lady on the phone just said «Oh, im sorry that happened it’s just that we are so busy and short on staff» Poor customer service!

Very good pizza! Surprising how nice they do a good pie here. The food always tastes fresh and they often make it fairly quickly. These guys know how to do it right and they do it right all the time. It’s very easy to devour a whole pie from these folks! (No kidding).
It’s also really easy to get to off of US Route 15 in Maryland, and that just adds to value as well. Couple of times I’ve passed through here I’ve been tempted to just have a slice (restraint please…), but each time I pass through this part of Maryland it’s really hard to resist pulling over and having a pizza slice let alone a pie from here.
They also serve Peace Tea. That alone already gets the extra star. I hope to return here again in the not-​so-​distant future!

The food is good, it could be great if anyone in the store had a sense of customer service, intelligence or at bare minimum a personality. I hate ordering from this place, my girlfriend (she has a light british accent) placed an order just tonight and was treated very rudely, I could hear shouting in the background that the person taking the order could not understand her. I will support a restuarant that has okay food if the service is great, but I will NOT support restaurant that has amazing food but lacks basic customer service or personality. I know this review won’t mean much to the owners, they clearly don’t and won’t care but I feel like I should share my experience.

It seems we have had food from here since the beginning of residing in Thurmont. This gets us back to when Rockys was on Main Street downtown.
This was at least 20 years ago.
We order delivery about once per week.
The food is always the same. We normally get lasagna, and veal Parmesan. Every so often I will get a real Italian sub. Get the house salad and the house dressing. I believe if you weighed the portions, they would not be different by more than an ounce from week to week. Getting to the flavor, maybe you could see similarities in Carmine’s, an outstanding Italian restaurant in New City.
For me, don’t get awakened in the middle of the night from the sauce like most places I’ve tried.

pizza was great — although they gave me the regular crust when i asked for NY style. the pasta was not so great. very friendly staff.

Authentic Italian family restaurant. I love this place and I always get «to go «items when I go through town. They are always prepared perfectly and seasoned. They have a large menu with all the usual pasta items and pizza, subs on great bread, and seafood.
I love their lasagna. Their only flaw is they don’t make their own meatballs

This has always been mine and my wife’s favorite pizza place. Great pizza and subs and everything else! Great service and wonderful salad bar too! Great prices too. Lunch specials are great as well, and cheap!

This was our first visit to Rocky’s. I ordered antipasto and it was excellent. A huge salad with fresh mozzarella and salami, ham, cheese, artichoke hearts, olives, etc. Husband got a small pizza with several toppings and he almost didn’t have any left to take home, it was so good. When we arrived, all available tables were dirty and we had to wait for one to be cleaned. Wait time for the food was average. Waitress was nice and not over-​attentive. Décor needs some definite updating. Prices were reasonable. We will definitely go back again.

Excellent Italian food and BEST pizza anywhere! Always packed because the food is so good. Owners are friendly (real Italians!) and great hosts. The do a lot for the community too.

The food is very good there but the owners are always rude and seem angry. My wife always has stomach issues after dining there also.

Pizza was good! Nice flavor, new york type crust, and yummy. Penne Primavera was good but could have used a lot more sauce on it and the breadsticks that came with it were so hard i couldnt even eat them. Hamburger sub is seriously just that. Its a hamburger on a sub. Two meat patties cut in half to fit in the bun and topped with your choice of toppings. Steak and cheese sub was yummy and so was the turkey sub. The stromboli was ok. Mother in law asked for no sauce on it since she hates tomatoes. She opens the box and there was a side of pizza sauce that had fell over and opened up. Pizza sause ALL OVER the corner of the box, luckily it didnt touch her stromboli lol. She said the stromboli was ok but the dough was chewy and it seems a bit over done. We were told it would be about 30 – 45 minutes for delivery and we were not given a total. Delivery took closer to a little over an hour but everything was still warm.

Nice place to take kids, family friendly. Seat yourself on entry. Service is friendly and attentive, sometimes a little spotty when really busy. All I can say is the cheesesteak with everything is awesome. Get it with the hot peppers, too, you won’t regret it. First time I ordered one I was unprepared for how gigantic it was. Save yourself the heartache of a half eaten sub that doesn’t box up well (no cheesesteak tastes good reheated the next day, no matter where you get it) and order the 6 inch… Enjoy!

LOVE this place! Great prices, HUGE portions (like 2 – 3 meals per plate) and great tasting! Glad we found it, it was totally worth it!

I was appalled by the service I received here. I placed an order for delivery. After an hour of waiting I called and was told the food was ready and would be there shortly. I waited another hour, and the food had not arrived. I called to check on the order again and was treated very rudely by the employee on the phone. Her hostility was unwarranted. When I asked to speak the the manager she refused to put him on the phone. When I called back I got to talk to the manager who told me «you just have to wait like everyone else». It took me over 3 hours to get my food. Unacceptable.

The portions are huge. They are big enough to share between two people. I had the spaghetti and meatballs entrée and it was sooo good!

A duplicate listing. See the other listing for other reviews.
Fratelli’s New York Pizza is a much better pizza place. But both places are better than Pizza Hut. The pasta is ok, but not great. Very busy place on the weekends, so call ahead to get take out.

Never going back… came here with a few friends… food was ok even though they completely screwed up our order… BUT my friends, who are a little rowdy in nature without alcohol, order a few beers. the waitress was completely nasty about their loud ways. even though it was not effecting anyone else in the restaurant. Saw her chatting up a local police officer while we were there.(obviously the hang out for police) after leaving my friends were pulled over and were tested for drunk driving (they passed all test) the police officer had told them he was told they were drunk by someone at the restaurant. They left a sour taste with me. Use to come here often spend good money. I have friends in town who do the same but will be spreading the word not to come unless you want to have the police released on you after have a beer!!!

Excellent food, but be warned– portions are huge! Family had the pizza, steak & cheese, spaghetti, and meatball sub. Everybody loved it. Will be stopping again!

Good family restaurant. (Good NY Pizza)
Some dishes are more than $ 10 per peson.
On average, most people can eat under $ 10 at Rocky’s.
It is a small Mom & Pop owned restaurant; unfortunately, the customer service has gone down over the years. I think the owners are way-​over-​worked.
Rarely do they answer the phone pleasantly (anymore). Also, when you go-​in: almost no greeting (you don’t feel welcomed anymore).
You’ll get better service @ PizzaHut.
There are teenagers that work there: as the restaurant gets busy, they don’t always handle the pressure well. Plus, they start forgetting a few things. Just make sure you are patient.
Positive: The food is good
