Pizza Rustica

Had takeout chicken and Shrimp scampi. Only 3 shrimp and one piece chicken cutlet. Not a scampi sauce, has chunks of tomato, no garlic, no butter. Ordered salad no onion, onion was in salad. They can do better.

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!

2020-New owners were really friendly and were more than willing to listen to feedback. Ordered a plain slice to provide a rating for the Pizza Hunters App and surprise, surprise they delivered a very good slice of pizza. I was informed that they have been working on their crust which was very good. The cheese was very creamy and full of flavor. They are very passionate about getting better and that is the key to success. Looking forward to going back to taste continued improvement. 2022 Visit - I have to give this place another star from 4 to 5 stats. Pizzailo Carlos and his team have done a great job with their Pizzas. The Rustic slice was amazing and then switching over to the Grandpa Slice, I was able to get a different experience with a different sauce. They are very passionate about their Pizza. Great job.
