    Pepperoni with sausage
    Juan H.

    Rosa Pizza was honestly the bomb. From the first bite, it felt like I was sitting in a small neighborhood pizzeria in New York instead of here at home. The crust had that perfect New York style fold--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside--with just the right amount of sauce and melty cheese. You can tell everything is made with care, not rushed like big chain places. This is a true family-owned spot, and you feel that the moment you walk in. There's a warmth to the place that you just don't get everywhere anymore. Even after hearing that the owner went through something tragic, he's still there greeting customers from his wheelchair with a smile. That kind of dedication and heart says a lot about the people behind the food. We actually started eating before we even thought about taking pictures--that's how good it looked and smelled. By the time we remembered, half the pizza was already gone! Every slice was packed with flavor, and you can taste the quality ingredients in every bite. It's the kind of pizza that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. If you're craving real, authentic New York style pizza made by people who truly care about their customers, this is the place. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family with me next time. Rosa Pizza earned every bit of this 5/5. Highly recommended! P.S. I forgot to take picture of cheese pizza

    Big Mama
    Sean Anthony P.

    I love this place. We get the Big Mama pizza whenever we're in town here. The pizza is a whopping 28 inches in diameter so it's a perfect pizza spot, if you have a big party. It's almost become a tradition whenever we all get together.

    It was okay not worth $28 for one large pizza, I would recommend lowering prices or offering deals otherwise I would not recommend sorry.

    omg! if you need a pizza for a party come to Rosa's! look at how huge the Big Mama is. and so delicious! every time i come in, whoever's behind the counter is so friendly and kind. i also love the actual restaurant, very nostalgic atmosphere-- they even have 50c sticker machines.

    King sized pepperoni and pineapple pizza!

    Great experience! The pizza is amazing! If you live in, or close to Placentia, Rosa's Pizza is a must!

We got the calamari to start. For mains, we ordered lobster ravioli, pasta di la zia, and pasta alla davide. Finished the meal with tiramisu. Calamari- Fried to perfection with a nice chewy interior. The seafood was fresh and tasty. Served with a side of marinara and a lemon wedge. Lobster Ravioli- You get big ravioli pieces filled with meaty lobster and pink sauce. The sauce is creamy and pairs well with the mild seafood. Pasta Di La Zia- You get juicy shrimp offset with crispy pancetta pieces. Arugula and mushrooms add a freshness to the dish. Finished truffle oil in a creamy sauce. Pasta Alla Davide- You get a creamy pesto based sauce with juicy scallops and shrimp. The seafood is fresh and in generous amounts. Finished with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes. Tiramisu- This was a perfect way to end the evening! You start with a strong espresso flavor balanced with creamy marscapone. A classic dessert! Great experience overall!

    I'm not sure why this place has good reviews. Their prices are unreasonable and their portions are…read moresmall. Their chicken parmigiana was just okay with such small portions. The bread they served while we waited for food was extremely salty and inedible. Their steak Italian sandwich was dry. It needed sauce or something. Even with discounts through inkind, the meal was expensive and not worth it. This is a party I wish I didn't attend.

    This used to be our favorite pizza place, but unfortunately it seems like something has changed…read more Whether it's new ownership or new management, the quality and service have gone downhill. Our last two visits have both had issues. On our previous order, our pizza literally had a hole in it. We decided to give them another chance today, and it was even worse. I placed an order online, only to have it canceled because they no longer accept orders through that website. Fine, I downloaded the new app and placed the order there instead. When I arrived at my scheduled pickup time, they told me my pizza had gotten stuck to the pan and they couldn't sell it to me. I asked how long it would take to make another one, and they said they were out of dough... at 12:00 p.m. The most frustrating part is that they had plenty of time to call me or cancel the order through the app before I drove all the way there. Instead, they let me make the trip just to tell me they couldn't fulfill my order. It's disappointing because this used to be one of our favorite pizza spots. Based on our recent experiences, I can't recommend it anymore. Don't waste your time here.

My son and I both ordered seafood pastas. He and I both ordered the clams with linguine. He got the parma rosa sauce will I got the traditional wine sauce. The meal also came with a soup or salad. Since it was a hot day, we both picked salad. One of our favorite parts of the meal was the bread. Not sure if it was on purposes but the bread basket came with both thin slices and thick slices. And don't forget the garlic infused butter. So yumm! As for parking, the restaurant is in a small strip center and only a few stores were open when we arrived so there was plenty of parking.

    Date of visit: Sep 8, 2026…read more What a disappointing birthday dinner. I came here with high hopes of finding one of those hidden-gem, hole-in-the-wall Italian places, but unfortunately, it all ended up blowing up in my face. The biggest problem was simple: everything--from the soup to the main dishes--was way too salty. We were a party of six, and three of us ordered pasta with the garlic cream sauce: the Pescatore, Shrimp & Scallop, and Clam. The sauce wasn't thickened enough, so it was much too soupy for a pasta dish, and the taste of white wine was very prominent. The garlic cream sauce was salty too, although nowhere near as crazy salty as the Chicken Piccata, Tortellini Giovanni, and Minestrone. Chicken Piccata: Like everything else we tried, this dish was just way too salty. The lemon-butter sauce was completely overwhelmed by the capers, and eating it honestly felt like shoveling forkfuls of salt into my mouth. The only saving grace was the chicken itself, which was cooked well and had a nice golden-brown exterior. Tortellini Giovanni: Just okay. I've definitely had better. The cheese filling inside the tortellini wasn't particularly good, although the Italian sausage was pretty tasty. The more I ate, though, the saltier, heavier, and oilier the dish seemed to get. Overall, there was really nothing special about it. Minestrone: SO salty that I couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure if this is simply their recipe or if the soup had been refrigerated and reheated to the point where some of the water had evaporated, leaving the salt increasingly concentrated. It's too bad because the underlying flavor was actually there--it was just completely ruined by the amount of salt. Pizza: Just okay. The dough wasn't bad, and I actually liked that it had some chewiness to it. But for the price, I'd rather go somewhere else. I really wanted to love this place, especially since this was my birthday dinner. I wasn't expecting fancy or perfect--I was hoping for a charming little hole-in-the-wall with really good, comforting Italian food. Unfortunately, we left super disappointed.

The place itself is on the smaller side with limited seating, so in my opinion it's definitely more of a takeout spot. Grab your pizza, take it home, and enjoy!

    Tony's Little Italy "authentic" Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is a $10 pizza masquerading as a $42 pizza…read more Tony's "Chicago-Style" (it only looks like one) is closer to Little Caesar's than a true Chicago masterpiece. I tried Tony's Little Italy Pizza in Placentia for the first time and I can attest that THIS IS IN NO-WAY AN "AUTHENTIC CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA" as advertised. It's not even close. I can't fault the enthusiasm of family frontmen like Taylor or his Uncle, Tony, for their contagious enthusiasm for their product, but all other comparisons end there. I lived in Chicago for more than a decade working for Leo Burnett Advertising/Chicago where the real Chicago deep dish pizza's, the standards by which you would judge "authentic," are Giordano's, Gino's East, Pizzaria Uno, and Lou Malnati's (a distant 4th in the rankings). These pizzas are HEAVY with quality ingredients and though deep dish, the crust is something that never gets in the way. In TRUE CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA ingredients are 90% of the pizza, the crust 10% or less. The opposite is the case at Tony's where they make pizza's that are ALL dough and FEW ingredients. Tony's Little Italy Pizza offers a poor rendition of true Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. I ordered a 12" sausage, spinach, and mushroom - the exact same pizza I'd order at Giordano's, Gino's East, Pizzaria UNO, or Lou Malnati's countless times. What I got was a pizza that is 90% tasteless dried bread called a crust and a few tablespoons of ingredients (sausage, spinach, mushrooms) disguised under a heavy tomato sauce. In many places the unappetizing crust extended all the way to the surface hidden only by the tomato sauce topping on my pizza. Looks good but the deception ends there. I got almost no cheese, few mushrooms, skimpy sausage, and miserly spinach. This may be what one call's Chicago STYLE (and that's what Tony's should call it) pizza out here on the west coast, but this pizza definitely would not carry its own weight in Chicago. If you've eaten Chicago Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago where I've been you will easily be able to relate to everything I am saying. If you've never had a real Chicago Deep Dish Pizza then be forewarned. This isn't the real deal. It's what Little Caesar's would do if they tried to sell Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. All dough, no substance. As Scotty said in Star Trek TOS, " Fool me once-shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." We won't be going back. Appearances are deceiving!
