Reviews for Papa Rocco's in Gulf Shores, AL
Upon arrival, there's a gentleman greeting and guiding the traffic. THIS alone says enough about this business. Not to mention... they've won every award ???? their pizza and wings have shut down pizza hut and Papa John's. The wait was WORTH it. The staffwas WORTH it. The FOOD was WORTH it all! Thank you Donnie for being such an amazing person. Businesses need people like you toinform them. This was priceless to our family. We WILL be back! Read more
We found this place to be a mixed bag but overall worth a try. The food and service were good, and the prices were the among the... most affordable we?ve found around. Rocco?s gets extra points for the atmosphere as well. It feels somehow familiar andcomfortable, like a memory. There are only two real drawbacks. The first being that the place simply isn?t very big. Not a dealbreaker by any means but it can be a bit tight. The other is that they are very busy and do not have much staff so they can beslow. They actually do a really good job, but can?t be everywhere at once. Read more
I had a really bad experience with Papa Rocco's, could've been worse. I found what looks to be a spring or some type of foreign... object in my food that I bit into(it had my tooth hurting a bit) you can see in one of the photos it looks like it was bakedinto the crust. I tried to contact the restaurant but got no answer, I left a voice mail but haven't received a call back. I amrelieved that it was me that bit into that slice and not my 4 or 6 year old Update: I went in today and talked to a manager, herefunded me for the one pizza with the spring and gave me a apology. I feel I should've been refunded for the entire orderbecause half of my food wasn't eaten because we didn't feel comfortable eating anymore afterwards. As of now I'm just going tocontinue to enjoy my vacation and don't let this experience ruin it. But I will not be going back, I can't take a risk like thatwhen it comes to my family. 2nd update: another manager contacted me today. I told her the story and how I felt, she was verynice and apologized for what happened to us. She wanted to replace my order(but I'm no longer in the area) and I think she couldtell i was a little hesitant. She said let us make this right, give us another shot, let me mail you a gift card. Just fortheir customer service I'm going to move them from 1* to 3* This could've just been one of those rare occasions BTW, before thespring incident the pizza and wings was pretty good... I was mad as hell I couldn't finish it because of the issue. Read more
This is our go to place for pizza whenever we are visiting Gulf Shores. The kids literally beg to go here. We always eat a light... lunch and then go here for an early dinner. It?s best to try to get there around 4ish to beat the crowd. They are a popular spotand have live music some nights so parking can get a little tricky the later you go, but that?s how most places are here duringvacation season. Our food is always amazing and this time was no different. We love the wide selection of items on the menu.They have plenty of tables if you choose to dine in and lots of seating at the bar. They are known for their raw oysters, ifthat?s your sort of thing. They also sell pretty cool Papa Rocco t-shirts in a variety of colors. Read more
My favorite restaurant in gulf shores. This place has excellent food. The pizza is the best I have had in the area, the burger... was great, and the service was good. The only issue is the size, popularity and availability of parking. Basically it is a smallplace that is constantly packed, loud and has long waits. If you can get a parking spot they are close by, but more people arewaiting outside typically than the amount of available parking. They did mess up my order one time a couple of years ago,basically they didn't hear one of my pizzas over the phone and there is such a long wait it wasn't worth waiting on them to cookit. Anyway if you don't mind waiting and being packed into a small space with tons of other people the food is great. Read more
Absolutely BEST pizza around and best atmosphere! Everyone was so friendly! Loved the live music as well! If I could give a... higher rating I would. We got pepperoni pizza, seafood pizza, and garlic cheese bread freaking delicious! The cheese and saucethey use is hands down the best around. On top of that, you can?t beat the prices! Read more
This is good stuff right here! Maybe something you see on DDD. Wife had an amazing meatball sub! Wonderful robust sauce, huge... meatballs, perfect toasty bun! I had the best price pizza it has all the good toppings on it! Crispy flaky crust it wasmoney! Service top notch! One waitress on duty busting her butt handling all the tables and doing a great job! Will definitelybe back! Read more
Last dinner here in beautiful Gulf Shores before we head back to beautiful Texas! Wanted pizza and wings so we Googled best... pizza joints in Gulf Shores and this gem kept catching our eyes. Glad we gave it a shot!! They had literally one of the bestmusic acts I?ve seen in quite some time, Strickly Rivers. Amazing!!!! I had the wings, well done and were tasty. Other itemsordered were pizza, salad and Chicken Alfredo. All were good, except the Alfredo, as the chicken was bland. All in all, verygood. Suffice it to say, if we vacation here again, we will come back to hang out here! Read more
