I've been here 8 months and have tried Rock Island Pizza several times. Â The salads are absolutely wonderful and the pizza is very tasty. Â I like that the crust isn't too thick but isn't cracker-thin and has enough crisp to it. Â
I've never once experienced what others are commenting about regarding attitude. Â The owners have always been very nice to me and I have NEVER seen a sign posted that says, "We WILL be right back; you WILL be patient", as one other reviewer says they have.
In any case, Rock Island has lots interesting toppings including shrimp (and not tiny bay shrimp either), cashews, garlic, different sauces/glazes, whole wheat crust, gluten-free crust, etc.
Others have mentioned slow service and for the most part, service is fine. Â When they get busy (whether the dining room is full or there are a lot of carry-out orders), Â things are slower. Â Could they be faster? Â Sure. Â I've never had service so slow that I wanted to walk out, but I have had service that was slow enough for me to look at my watch a few times.
All in all, I will return to Rock Island, even though there are other pizza places on the Island.
It's pizza, pretty hard to mess that up. I would say it is mediocre pizza. The crust is kinda boring, but the taste is decent. Would rather have Dominos or Pizza Hut!
The worst part is the service. It kinda sucks... And I still can not figure out how it can take so long to make a simple pizza.
When you are stuck on an island, we have found that you are at the mercy of really crappy food establishments, high prices, and poor service.
We have only returned to 2 places on this island more than once. And one of them we will ONLY go through the drive-through because the last time we were there, we had to deal with three screaming brats that were throwing things around the diner, and of  course, white-trash mommy did nothing to stop them, neither did the restaurant staff.
