Papa Rocco's - Gulf Shores

This is our go to place for pizza whenever we are visiting Gulf Shores. The kids literally beg to go here. We always eat a light lunch and then go here for an early dinner. It’s best to try to get there around 4ish to beat the crowd. They are a popular spot and have live music some nights so parking can get a little tricky the later you go, but that’s how most places are here during vacation season. Our food is always amazing and this time was no different. We love the wide selection of items on the menu. They have plenty of tables if you choose to dine in and lots of seating at the bar. They are known for their raw oysters, if that’s your sort of thing. They also sell pretty cool Papa Rocco t-shirts in a variety of colors.

Absolutely BEST pizza around and best atmosphere! Everyone was so friendly! Loved the live music as well! If I could give a higher rating I would. We got pepperoni pizza, seafood pizza, and garlic cheese bread freaking delicious! The cheese and sauce they use is hands down the best around. On top of that, you can’t beat the prices!

Papa Rocco's is a very popular place with a very long wait time. My family enjoyed an order of the Papas Buffalo Wings along with the Stuffed Mushrooms.. and let me say that the stuffed mushrooms were probably the best I've had ANYWHERE! We decided to be adventurous and try the Seafood Primavera Pizza and while it was definitely something different, it was still quite tasty. The only reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because (while we didn't mind the almost hour long wait) once we were seated, our waitress was not very attentive and our service was spotty at best. We would definitely still return though!

We always enjoy Papa Rocco’s! Since we live here, we know the best times to go to beat the crowds and are never disappointed! Our favorite place for oysters and pizza but everything on the menu is great! It’s our favorite local hangout!

Oysters were covered in awesomesauce. We cannot confirm nor deny the cheese bread was brushed through the butter and garlic left on our plate of 'steamed '.. The Raw were so good we ordered a second dozen. Loads of horseradish and cocktail sauce peppered with Bo Grant swooning the entire place with his golden voice. Great night.
