Rocky's Pizza and Italian Foods is a pizzeria and Italian restaurant located at 715 21st Street South. The business was founded in 1986 by Dennis Dunlap and named in honor of boxer Rocky Marciano.

It was originally located on Green Springs Highway, and later in Lakeview. The restaurant moved into the former Doodle's location on 21st Street in 2001. It is now operated by Dunlap's son, Josh.

In 2015 Retail Specialists announced a proposed redevelopment of the block necessitating relocation of the business.
