When you step into Pizza Di Rocco’s Motor City branch, you’ll find a cosy Italian pizzeria serving some of Italy’s most cherished dishes. Each dish is prepared using the freshest quality ingredients for a wholesome and authentic taste. Let’s explore some of our signature dishes that everyone enjoys.
Bruschetta
This dish starts with ciabatta bread made in-house. The bread is lightly toasted until crisp, then topped with a mixture of chopped fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and basil. The tomatoes are juicy, and the garlic adds a little spice. Together, the flavours are simple and refreshing. It’s an excellent way to begin your meal at our pizzeria.
Insalata Di Rocco
This salad is packed with multiple textures and tastes. It has mixed Italian greens, which are soft and fresh, along with sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes. Kalamata olives add a salty flavour, while spring onions and mushrooms make the salad more filling. The goat’s cheese is baked in the oven, making it creamy and warm. Walnuts and pine nuts add a nice crunch. All of the ingredients are tossed in a homemade sweet balsamic dressing for a final flourish. This salad is a good choice if you want something light but full of flavour.
Pizza Bresaola
Pizza Di Rocco’s pizzas are made with a light, thin, and crispy crust. The Pizza Bresaola is topped with tomato sauce, soft mozzarella cheese, and thin slices of beef bresaola. Bresaola is air-dried beef that tastes slightly salty and rich. Fresh rocket leaves are placed on top, adding a peppery flavour. Finally, the pizza is sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese, which adds a nutty taste. This pizza is simple but very satisfying.
Pizza Buffalo Fried Chicken
For those who enjoy bold flavours, the Pizza Buffalo Fried Chicken is a tasty choice. This pizza starts with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Then, pieces of buffalo fried chicken are added. These chicken bites are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Spring onions add a bit of crunch and a fresh taste, while a drizzle of buffalo cream sauce makes the pizza rich and tangy. Every bite has a mix of spicy, creamy, and savoury flavours.
Spaghetti Bolognese
This is a classic Italian pasta dish. The spaghetti is cooked to perfection so it’s firm and not too soft. It’s served with a rich sauce made from tomatoes and minced beef. The sauce is cooked slowly, letting all the flavours combine beautifully. It’s hearty and filling, making it a favourite for many.
Lasagna Al Forno
Lasagna Al Forno is one of the most comforting dishes on the menu. It’s made with layers of pasta, a beef sauce, and béchamel sauce. The beef sauce is rich and savoury, while the béchamel is creamy and smooth. These layers are topped with mozzarella cheese and baked in the oven until the cheese melts and turns golden. The lasagna is served with a side salad of fresh Italian greens to complete the meal.
Tiramisu
For dessert, the homemade tiramisu is a delicious treat to end your meal. Tiramisu is a traditional Italian sweet. It’s made with layers of coffee-soaked sponge biscuits and a creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese. It has a light coffee flavour and a soft texture that melts in your mouth. The chef at Pizza Di Rocco adds a special touch to this dessert, making it extra enjoyable.
