Rocko’s is locally owned and operated by Kevin and Liz Roth. Kevin and Liz met in 1990 when they were both working at Pizza Hut in Erie, PA. Kevin has spent his entire career in a management position of various restaurants/food service in Erie and our local area. Liz left the industry and pursued a career in real estate in 1999. In 2013 the opportunity came to purchase the building where they are currently located. It had housed another pizza shop. They decided to purchase the building but wanted to offer something new to the area with their own “stamp” and ideas. Rocko’s opened in September 2013. The name Rocko’s was derived from the Roth’s beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Rocco.
