The pizza is good and the limited meals and apps I’ve gotten have been above average. The only problem seems to be that the pizza makers are not in sync with the kitchen. Multiple times I’ve picked up a semi hot pizza, that’s been sitting on top of the oven for 15-20 minutes, because they are waiting for a salad to come out!?! Be prepared to wait longer than expected when picking up.
They absolutely ruined eggplant parmigiana for me to eat anywhere else. My wife and I both ordered the eggplant rustica and it was hands down the best eggplant dish I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten it ll over north Jersey. It was sliced thin and perfectly cooked smothered in an amazing vodka sauce and fresh sliced mozzarella melted on top. Unbelievable! We also hade the sautéed broccoli and spinach as sides and they were delicious as well. The oldies music real enhanced the ambiance of this gem of restaurant.
Food is delicious, Mike our server was super friendly. Great spot for families.
We had a veal and a chicken dish. Both were outstanding. The seating area is very nice, casual and welcoming. Jake was our server who was attentive and courteous. When we were leaving every staff member thanked us for coming. We will be back to try the pizza next!
always great, never had a bad thing. Came in late afternon (4:45) yesterday, ordered 10 pies of different varieties, wings and Caesar salad, needed to pick up by 7pm and it was ready 10 minutes early. Thanks Pizza Rustica, everyone loved it!
Incredible flavors and the BEST pizza in town! We have been incredibly pleased with the love they put into their menu. Fresh, tasty and delicious!
My absolute favorite pizza!!!! What makes it even better is the service, the professionalism, the cleanliness and their consistency!!!! Always a must when I get my nails done next door! It’s worth the 30 min drive every two weeks!
Just had the BEST food & service at Pizza Rustica in Rockaway Boro. Soup, salad & entrees all fresh, well prepared, generous portions, beautiful prepared by chef Carlos. Don’t let the casual pizzeria atmosphere fool you. Delicious and very reasonably priced. Italian egg drop soup; served steaming hot, and seasoned perfectly. Side salads included with our meals; super fresh. Excellent service from our waiter, Patrick who brought a huge complementary serving of warm, crispy garlic bread to the table and paid careful attention throughout the meal to ensured our food was prepared to order. We had a very picky friend at the table who was extremely happy but everyone was pleased with their choices.I had Eggplant Rustica: breaded eggplant, served in delicious vodka sauce and topped with homemade mozzarella. They happily changed out my side of pasta for a side of sautéed broccoli for a minimal charge. Carlos who delivered the heaping dish of garlicky veggies to the table himself was warm and humble as we praised his food. ❤️ We will definitely be going back!
I love the choice of specialty pizza. My favorite is the grandma pie. The food is always fresh. The staff are super friendly and accommodating to my picky eaters! I would totally recommend
Been here a few times. A 3 at best.The pizza is ok and if you eat here that is about all you should order.This time I got a calzone. The one good thing about it is that it was huge. The downside is that when I cut into it liquified ricotta poured out all over like the Hoover dam just broke. Not even appetizing. They don't know how to make a good calzone and they even forgot to put the meat in it. Also it was $18 friggin dollars.
