About Us
At Doc Rocco's New York Style Deli, we pay tribute to the memory of a true American hero and a dear friend, Doc Rocco. Named after a Navy Corpsman who valiantly served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Doc Rocco's legacy lives on through our dedication to great food and heartfelt service.
A Hero's Journey
Doc Rocco, whose middle name was Rocco, earned his nickname from the Marines he fought alongside on the battlefield. His humility, boundless compassion, and ever-present smile endeared him to all who knew him. After the events of 9/11, he decided to enlist in the Navy as a Corpsman, a role dedicated to saving lives on the front lines. Doc Rocco served two tours of duty, embodying the selflessness and sacrifice of our military.
A Shared Passion for Food
Our story is not just one of heroism; it's also about the joy of food and camaraderie. Many of our fondest memories were forged at Doc Rocco's parents Italian restaurants. There, we discovered the magic of creating our own pizzas and developed a deep love for cooking. The market was a haven of exceptional food, warmth, and laughter—a place where everyone was family.
Honoring Our Veterans
In honor of Doc Rocco, his unwavering commitment to helping others, and the sacrifices made by our veterans, we are committed to giving back. A portion of our profits goes to charities supporting veterans who have dedicated so much to America's freedom.
At Doc Rocco's New York Style Deli, we embrace the spirit of "Corpsman up" – a call to rise above, serve with love, and cherish the bonds of family and friendship. Join us in celebrating great food, enduring values, and the memory of a true American hero.
