PIZZA fix at Rockys Pizza
S
elwyn district pizza lovers looking for a feast of pizza and pasta with a difference could not do better than Rockys Pizzas and lunch bar at Roberts Street in Lincoln. Just off the main street, at 9 Roberts Street, Rockys Pizzas has 22 different varieties of pizza, all distinctively named after characters in the Rocky movies and with names like The Rocky, Stallone, Sylvester, Eye of the Tiger, it’s clear where the inspiration came from. Among the range are traditional pizzas such as Hawaiian and meat lovers while Rockys special gourmet pizzas are all named in the movie themes. There are also 15 different types of pasta for those who prefer their carbohydrate in that style. There are also gluten-free options. Ross Baldwin (nicknamed Rocky) is a huge fan of Sylvester Stallone and the Rocky character. As well as the pizza titles reflecting that, he has decorated the waiting room with Rocky-character-posters and statues and tigers. It’s definitely a pizza place with a difference. There’s also black furniture in the waiting area – sofas in particular. Owner Ross has some solid advice for local pizza and pasta lovers from kids to students to family people of all ages: “come and have a look and a taste at our amazing venue”. He’s convinced those who sample Rockys pizzas will like what they taste. He’s been told “they’re the best pizzas around”. Pizza bases and sauces are made by Ross, with his pizza cook Brent Jones preparing the final product. Rockys is open for pizzas from Wednesday to Sunday from 9am in the morning to 8pm or 9pm at night.
It’s also well known for its lunch bar, with food from sandwiches to pies and sweet items and is open seven days. “We have a lot of fun, but there’s a lot of passion that goes into the food. “I like food where people are going to go ‘wow’, which they do with my lunch bar and my pizzas.” Rockys Lunchbar and Pizza bar is at 9 Roberts Street near the main road through Lincoln. Phone (03) 325 2627. Cravings fix: Rockys Pizzas offer traditional and special gourmet pizzas Wednesday to Sunday.
