I'm very impressed! They have amped up their pizza selection and I am loving it. Pizza options are amazing, and they are fresh and hot when they prepare it. Everything was flavorful and prepared well. Pepperoni slice had the cup pepperoni crispy and spicy. Chicken slices were overloaded with tastey chicken covered in the right amount of sauce. Eggplant slice was flavorful, not bland at all. Garlic knots were huge but so light and filled with garlic flavor. Space is a nice size of you want to sit and the staff are all super friendly. Definitely will be coming back. read more

I am from the Los Angeles and I am visiting family out here. My cousin recommended to try out this place and it was no joke. Outstanding tradition Italian cuisine. Fabulous selection of pizzas and delicious dishes. The owner of the establishment even gave us three pieces of different slices to take back with us for no charge. Great and lively ambience. Very friendly staff and priced just right. read more

I placed a large order through a third party delivery service. After the order was canceled, the restaurant called me directly to explain why. They told me a bicycle courier had been assigned and that they prefer vehicle deliveries for larger orders because pizzas can shift during transport, sauces can leak, etc. I mentioned I had experienced this before with another delivery, where the cheese and toppings slid to one side of the box and I had to request a refund. They completely understood and said that's exactly why they prefer vehicle deliveries. What impressed me most was how they handled the situation. Rather than simply sending food they believed might arrive in poor condition--or just canceling the order and leaving it at that--they took ownership of the situation. They called to explain what happened, made an exception to deliver to my area even though it's normally outside their delivery range, ensured the food arrived in great condition, and included complimentary garlic knots for the inconvenience. The food was excellent, but the customer service stood out even more. They communicated clearly, cared about the customer experience, and went above and beyond to make things right. I really appreciated the effort and would happily order from Rosa's again. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a slice of their grandma's pizza and a regular slice. The grandma's slice was pretty good with a great sauce/cheese ratio. The regular slice was good also. The service was great and very positive. They have a nice seating area to eat the various things they have to offer. All in all, the pizza was good in a classic NY way. read more

First time having Rosa's I think! Called to order a grandma pie and it was ready in the time they said it would take so no issues there! I can't remember if they didnt cut the pie at all or it was cut into large slices that we had to cut it some more when we brought it over to our friends home. Pie tasted pretty good and in line with other grandma pies I've had and enjoyed! Definitely will be back to try other pies! read more

This is the 3rd location of Rosa's pizza i've visited and each one is a little bit different. When it comes to actual offerings, taste and availability, they are all sorts different. The staff at all of them are super nice and really great at giving suggestions. I went with a regular slice, a spinach pinwheel, and tne of the mini chicken parm sandwiches. Sadly, they all lacked flavor and I had to add garlic and a few other seasonings to give it a little zing. Note: parking is tough around this area. read more

A wide range of food no matter what you like. I love their eggplant slice and upside down Sicilian slice. And if you want a roll, they put a lot of eggplant, spinach, broccoli, etc in it. read more

On the quest this trip for the best pizza this one takes the cake! Not only was it the best this trip but it was the best I've had to date in my life. We got a variety of Sicilian as well as their regular style pizza and after getting a slice of each we went back for more. The Sicilian was the best pizza I've had. You have to get both types pictured because they each offer a little different thickness but both equally are amazing and the sauce was a little different on each as well in both very good ways. They put as much focus on the sauce and toppings as well as the crust which from our NYC experience is rare you either like one or the other with the different types until we ate here! We wanted to try so many more things here but were so full. The guy in the back they kept calling uncle sal appeared to be the talent of this operation and he has mastered his craft! This was the Rosas location of middle village queens FYI. It was so worth the hour trip from midtown where we stayed! There was a rosas near penn station and 34th but the quality wasn't nearly the same. It also was the location of where they shot scenes from the show billions if you are into that kind of thing. The place offered seating and comfortable pizza parlor vibe and didn't have all the hustle and bustle of downtown. This was also the cheapest pie we had on our visit as well. So much bang and flavor for your buck! This is very bittersweet as they have set the bar extremely high and will be hard to top. We will continue to visit every-time we're in town. We truly wish we had this back home in Cincinnati. We thanked them and expressed how much we loved it on the way out and he smiled, said thank you, and wished us well. read more

Nothing fancy, just a great classic slice shop. The crust is thin and crispy, sauce to cheese ratio is solid. Highly recommend for the area!

SERIOUSLY, the best pizza around. We've tried all of the top spots around in NJ, PA, and CT...this place tops them all! From the Sicilian to the grandmas, the pies to the slices, you truly will not be disappointed. Better than Sally's Apizza, better than L&B Spumoni Garden, better even than Artichoke, Mama's Too, and Di Fara. Last but not least - the staff is super friendly and the tables inside are pleasant. My favorite - grandmas pie well done or a Sicilian well done. read more

I was on this side of town and was hungry for something quick! Didn't want any pizza tho!! So ordered a chicken roll. Pretty good actually! The reason for the 2 stars... well. No welcoming as customers walk in the door. The guy taking orders not even smiling. No thank you after you pay for the order. Just bad customer service. I don't know about anyone else but I like to feel welcomed when I walk into any establishment!! Won't ever come back cause they're not friendly at all!! You not happy to be working QUIT!! read more

Last review was 3 stars---tonight is 1. Would be 0 if yelp allowed it. $31 for burnt pizza, $31 for sour service by the young cashier, $31 for the pizza guy arguing with me over whether the pizza was burnt (meanwhile the OTHER pizza guy there was agreeing with me before his coworker started arguing). As I left one of the patrons who heard the guy arguing with me followed me outside to say I should have stood my ground more because he agreed it **was burnt**. After 8 years patronizing this place---Never again---CARLOS PIZZA FROM NOW ON. Horrible that the quality of what used to be a great pizza joint has sunk so low. Next pizza date---you better believe it will be from Carlos down the street rather than here. read more

First of all, they have terrible customer service. I had my pizzas delivered and when I opened the pizza, they were smushed to one side, mangled, and cheese and sauce everywhere. I called them up thinking I'd get an apology, but no, I was met with somebody rude and who obviously doesn't care about the customer. Second of all, the pizza was subpar. I tried eating the parts without cardboard and it tasted terrible. Even drowning it in Tabasco or garlic powder couldn't mask the taste of this dreadful pizza. Third of all, the pizza is overpriced for the quality put into it. I'm sorry but this Rosas lost a customer In me. There are better Rosas in Queens. Steer clear of this one!!!! read more

Ordered from here twice. First time food came in toasty and tasted really really good. Not so much the second time. Great garlic knots. Perfect pepperoni slice! ! ( I'm always amazed at a perfect pepperoni) The pizza is actually really good. The calamari was yummy for a pizza shop calamari which are usually rubbery rings. Def a must try! Not extremely pricey either. read more

I've heard amazing things about this place, so imagine my reaction when I tried my very first slice that was greatly anticipated and it was DISGUSTING!! After removing about 165 pieces of onions on top of my vegetable slice, there wasn't only still 100 more pieces of onion, but the rest of the vegetables were raw and gigantic and the slice just reeked like an onion! I couldn't eat it and it was thrown away! never again! read more

A neighborhood staple! Always fresh and delicious and their eggplant pizza is frikkin awesome!!!!!!!

Great garlic knots very soft and succulent a must for all and Glenda is always helpful and will make anything you need fresh.

Pizza quality has fallen down a slippery slope. I used to have it back in 2009 when it was dine-oh-might! Either they have changed the recipe or they stopped caring. Carlos is giving them a run for their money. In addition, pizza is a pretty competitive business today and there is nothing that sets this establishment apart from any of the other dozens of joints around us. Nonetheless, the grandma slice and Sicilian are pretty good. Head to head on the slice of life meter, Carlos is much better and are reasonably priced. Rosa's is lackluster now. $17 for a pie?!?!?! Pricey for this neighborhood. read more

Rosa's pizza has been a Queens staple for years. While they are not in my area of Queens they are across the street from our favorite bagel shop. Their pizza is just OK. I've had their regular slice and their Sicilian upside down slice. The Sicilian slice is by far better then their regular slice. It was while sampling their pizza that I realized their crust was the best part of their offerings. When I found out that they would sell me just a dough for $3 I started making my own pizza at home. So this is more of a review of their dough. I use my own sauce and cheese. The sauce at Rosa's was never to my liking and it gave my wife agitta. I have a large sheet pan that makes a perfect Sicilian pie. I'm not going to go into a pizza making lesson here. But while you're eating a slice at Rosa's make sure to pay attention to how flavorful their crust is. I think it's the best part of their pizza. Now if the old man who owns the place were a little friendlier the dining experience there would be nicer. His kids are much more pleasant to deal with. Your results may differ. read more

I would have given Rosa's 5 stars if it wasn't for a bad experience i has with a server named Elizabeth. She was rude, had a miserable attitude and wouldn't let myself and my sister sit with our family (party of 5) despite the fact that there were seats available with them.. and we came together... in the same car. However, there was another server there who was an ABSOLUTE ANGEL ona different visit. The food is great there selection of pizzas are great. my all time favorite pizzeria is Scars in Williamsburg but Rosas is a close second ! read more

Read the Health Inspection scores/ratings. That's not oregano on your pizza - there's been rodent droppings all over the place for years, and they've never improved on it. On top of that, they are so unfriendly. No smile, acknowledgment of you. They barely look at you except to take your money. Nothing beats CARLO'S down the street! read more

I heard so much about this chain of Rosa's pizza for years already. I was always curious why several Forest Hills residents make the trip to go here in the next town over vs the ones in Forest Hills. Order a large pie with 1/2 and 1/2 toppings. Tried their grandma pizza as well. Both had a very generous portion of cheese. I enjoyed both the pie and grandma here but I have to say, my usual FH pizzeria is still the best in the area but they close on Sundays now. Rosa's is a great Sunday backup plan. read more

Although their pizza is amazing, I will never go back. The people are rude and the old man there is a sexist jerk.

I love the Rosa's on Freshpond Rd, and I live closer to the one on Metropolitan Ave. I've given them chance after chance to get it right, today was the last and final straw for me. All I got was a chicken roll and an order of garlic knots. The chicken roll was a bit decent, however, when I bit into the garlic knot, the amount of oil that came out was astounding. The oil dropped all over my chin and onto the plate. Then I looked at all of the other knots and one by one picked them up and squeezed them with my hands, and the oil poured out. I was disgusted. I couldn't finish them because of how oily they were. The staff doesn't care. I rather drive to the one on Freshpond for great food and service than to continue spending my money on this Rosa's. Never again! read more

There's truly nothing good that I can say about this place other than the inside is nice. The staff is always straight mean, unless you're a regular like I used to be until... I started getting very sick after their food, at first I didn't see correlation. However I have discovered that after eating there I literally always threw up or had a huge stomachache which is the main reason why I stopped going. The chicken roll is an absolute nightmare. read more

Overpriced! 2 pepperoni and 1 cheese slice for $11. Would be worth it if it actually tasted good. To top it off, I found a lovely little present in the form of someone's hair in the box. Safe to say we didn't finish it. read more

Great pizza in Middle Village. Rosa's is very old school and feels like old school NYC, no frills and a great slice. Chicken roll is always made fresh and the sauce can't be beat. Too many pizzerias now try to keep up with funky pies and sauces they forget how to make the basics, Rosa's will always be a go to for NY pizza. read more

Rosa's is a neighborhood classic! I know people in the area that will argue about which location is the best - 69th Street? Fresh Pond Road? This location? I guess the other locations offer other types of slices not typically featured here.. I don't know.. I don't really care. This place continues the ~40 year tradition well. Rosa's has been my go to pizza place since I was kid. Not this location. The one I went to no longer exists (It's the McDonald's on Grand Ave now). Back in the day, JHS 73 used to let us crazy kids loose on the streets for lunch hour and we'd run down to Rosa's with any loose change we managed to scrounge up. We'd purchase the best Sicilian slices found anywhere. This Rosa's still makes them the same way with the cheese under the sauce (Man I love a corner slice when all that sauce gathers in the corner - perfect last bite, the best!). They make a great eggplant slice, Ceasar salad slice, grandma and sometimes a fresh mozzarella with fresh tomato slice - all are so good! I don't get to come here too often nowadays (once a month. On my "birthday" as my mom likes to say. lol). When I do I usually order some slices to to go, but once in a while its nice to order a couple of slices with a drink, have a seat, and watch the neighborhood people make their way in and out. The vibe may not be overly friendly, but its a good one - it is a Queens one. Perhaps you needed to grow up here to understand. Perhaps not, but if you get it then you know Rosa's is an area tradition where their food becomes a part of your soul. read more

This is a pizza place that has been in the same spot for more than 30 years (the original one was in Maspeth on Grand Ave). They have the selection of pizzas with different toppings like most NY shops - including calzones and sausage rolls, chicken rolls etc. all good. I come here for and always bring back to Florida their Sicilian which is the best Sicilian pizza - theirs is different than what you're used to - their's goes crust, cheese, sauce, then a little sprinkle of Parmesan. When you order you ask for the red Sicilian - YOU'RE WELCOME. read more
