Stopped by **Rocco’s Pizzeria in Glen Burnie** to see what all the buzz was about, and for this one I went straight for **The Godfather**. 🍕

Pepperoni, beef, sausage, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and extra cheese. This thing is LOADED. Plenty of flavor, a nice crisp on the crust, and no shortage of toppings in every bite.

That lines up with what a lot of longtime customers say about Rocco's Pizza Of Glen Burnie. People consistently praise the crust, cheese, sauce, and that old-school local pizza shop feel.

And apparently I’m not the only guy showing up at Rocco’s with a camera and an appetite. 😂

**Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports stopped by for a One Bite review and gave Rocco’s a 7.8**, praising the crust, crisp, and cheese and calling it "good quality American football pizza.”

If you’re looking for a loaded specialty pizza in Glen Burnie, give the **The Godfather a try!**

🍕 I Stopped by Italia's Corner Cafe the other day in Glen Burnie and ordered one of their NY-style pizza's. Good stuff!

I went with a 14" pizza topped with pepperoni and pineapple.

(That's right, I said it. Pineapple... Come at me bro! 💪😂)

What stood out to me most was the sauce. Really flavorful, well balanced, and it came through in every bite without overpowering everything else. Add the pepperoni, melted cheese, thin NY-style crust, and, dare I say it, the pineapple... I ate myself into a well enjoyed food coma.

Italia’s Corner has been serving up Italian favorites in Glen Burnie for years, and judging by the number of people who swear by their pizza, I can see why.

Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a local pizza spot.

📍 Italia’s Corner Cafe
7089 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd
Glen Burnie, MD 21061

Now let's settle this once and for all: Does pineapple belong on pizza? 🍍🍕 And what pizza spot should I try next?
