Rockydale Pizza

Since I'm from Chicago, I have pretty solid ideas of what a pizza should taste like.  Rockydale is the closest I've come since I moved to VT.  All other pizzas seem to be oily messes without enough ingredients and bland sauce.

I've never eaten in the restaurant, so I can't say much about the service but the people who I deal with at the counter are always good to deal with.

Ate here over the weekend (Saturday night) and was very dissapointed.  I wanted to try their new buffet, but it wasn't set up - on a busy Saturday night!  I ended up ordering chicken parmesan with the "salad bar" - I knew that my entree was not going to be homemade - I asked.  What I didn't realize is how poor their "salad bar" is - there were about 6 choices, including warm potato salad, maybe three bean salad, and a few other non-homemade options.  The only "salad" items were warm lettuce and onions.  There wasn't even any salad dressing!  The croutons were pre-packaged in little plastic containers, and they tasted plastic.

My chicken parmesan was as expected - I knew that it probably wasn't going to be great, and I was correct.  I should've gone for a burger, which looked really good.

I don't think it's difficult to make a good salad bar.  I was really not impressed!

This is my family's go-to pizza joint. Great for large loud parties, even walk-in. Non-judgmental. Come as you are, even if you've been working under a car all day, or a cow.  Food is delicious better than average pizza at a good price. Can get pitchers of soda :)
