In 2020, Rocco’s Pizza of Nixa was taken under new ownership, which led to its popularity rising in Nixa. With many menu options and a great location, Rocco’s is the perfect place to eat. Rocco’s has an open seating floor plan, an upstairs area with a pool table, and a large bar area. There is a perfect seat for everyone who stops by. 

   When I stopped by Rocco’s, I made sure I tried a variety. I picked garlic knots for my appetizer, a side caesar salad for my side and a small pepperoni pizza for my main meal. The garlic knots came out very quickly once I ordered them. They come covered with a butter topping, seasoning and marinara sauce; the butter added the perfect touch to them. Next, the side salad came out, and in addition to its quality, you could almost order that as your full meal because it was such a generous amount. The last thing that came out was my pizza. The pizza was full of flavor; it had plenty of pepperonis and came with six slices. To go with my pizza, I asked for a cup of their homemade ranch, which was incredibly delicious- I wish I could buy gallons of this ranch.  My total for these three things came to around $17. 

    The environment of this restaurant was very enjoyable. Each area had a television playing something different. The servers and owners are very accommodating to each individual’s needs; the service is very quick, and the servers are very kind and well-trained.  Rocco’s would be a perfect place to watch a sports game, eat a family dinner, host a party, or even catch up with an old friend. 

    Rocco’s is definitely somewhere I will be going to again. I would love to be able to try more from their menu and figure out some of my favorites. I recommend Rocco’s to anyone who wants a new place to try or whenever they have a chance. Rocco’s is located at 112 East Mt. Vernon Street, Nixa, Mo 65714.
