Alright, guys. Another pizza place on the menu. Unfortunately, this one's for the boys. And girls as well. Apparently, this Rocky guy must have been a boxer, because I see boxing pictures all over the inside. He sure has some good taste in ...

WELCOME BACK TO BIRMINGHAM ROCKY’S PIZZA!!!! I was one of the longtime fans of Rocky’s when it closed several years ago. I was heartbroken to see it go. But it is back and it’s just as good as it ever was. The pizza was amazing, but.....they changed the Italian sausage. It used to be mini Italian sausage meatballs, not sliced off a link of sausage. Not really sure I like the change. It wasn’t bad, it’s actually quite good. I can’t wait to go back for the lasagna that I’ve missed so much. The service was good, but it was also a new restaurant that was showing off its newness. I’m glad they kept the classic decor.

I came for the pizza, but honestly, I’ll be coming back just for the cheese sticks and cocktails. The cheese sticks were out of this world—perfectly crispy on the outside, gooey and flavorful on the inside, with just the right amount of ...

Serious contender for best pizza in Birmingham. Great old school vibe. Only a few beers on tap but they had some good IPAs in cans. We got the Canelo Alvarez (with ranch) and the Mills Lane and both were insane. The surprise of the night was the tiramisu. 11/10 and will definitely be back SOON.

The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is pretty awesome, especially if you're a fan of boxing. We only ordered a medium pizza but it was really good. Plenty of toppings, the crust had a nice crisp, and the cheese pull can't be beat. The drink menu has plenty of options. We went with the margarita but unfortunately it was not very good. Still I highly recommend this place.

We visited Rocky's back in October during our Southern road trip and it was a great experience. The pizza was delicious and traditional (affordable, too), while the service was excellent, with a real family feel. We are from Wales but we live in Spain, so we got to speak to some of the family in Spanish, and they were so warm and welcoming. We were struggling to find good pizza on a quiet night in Birmingham, but we were so glad we ended up at Rocky's. An accidental but superb find, and very recommendable.
