As a Midwest native, Chicago style pizza is a staple in my family. Not as many options out west for this style pizza so finally stopped in to Rosati's to check out what they're serving up. Located in Mission Gorge, Rosati's is serving up some nice pies that immediately made me miss my summertimes spent in Chicago as a kid. A nice cozy sports pizza pub style establishment, nice sized patio, and friendly staff, Rosati's menu is just what the dr ordered. A good Chicago themed menu that includes Italian beef, wings, and Chicago deep dish, I was very excited to try a good square cut pie. I went with half sausage and pepperoni on thin crust. Pizza came out quick and was very devoured immediately! Great sauce, cheese and toppings. Might do double cheese next time for more cheese pull. Looking forward to coming back for one of their daily specials and enjoying fresh out of the oven. Definitely adding Rosati's to my must have pizza list. Give them a try! read more

If you're looking for a place that does deep dish Chicago style pizza well, swing by Rosati's tucked away in the neighborhood of Granville (East of Mission Valley). It is a local chain/franchise in Chicago and I'm glad they have one here in San Diego. This place was recommended to me by someone from Chicago and they claimed the pizza was very good so I had to check it out for myself. Upon entrance, there are a ton of seats that can accommodate large parties and plenty of seats at the bar to enjoy some drinks and television. This is also a sports bar that does enjoyable happy hours and has some old school arcade style games in the back, near the restrooms. Who knew 'Chicago style' was also thin crust pizza?! I ordered both the thin crust and the deep dish to try them both out in the smallest size, I believe it was 12inch and 10inch and it was the perfect portion. I would highly recommend you check this place out if you're craving a great Chicago style deep dish pizza. Only reason I didn't give this place a 5 star was because it was pretty warm/hot inside the restaurant. They had a few fans running, but couldn't feel it and was sweating while I was eating, which could have been better. Not sure if they have working air conditioning or not in this establishment. read more

First, Mario was a FANTASTIC server. One of the best I've ever had! Wednesday, Chicago deep dish pizza special was amazing! Dough nugget appetizer was yummy and only $5 on happy hour! Throw in a bucket of Peronis & a free birthday dessert & it was a perfect meal! Loved the experience! read more

Being from Illinois I'm always excited to learn of Chicago style pizza joints! We stopped in during a Bears game, and this place was packed! Found a booth near the entrance luckily! Waitress indicated they were short staffed, and we were concerned because every table was full...with one waitress, one bartender, and even a nice kid helping fill the gaps. Ordered a salad and a deep dish pizza as well as beers... the pizza came out quicker than expected but we never saw the salad. Thick cheesy pizza, just like the Rosatis of Chicagoland! Ambiance is run down roadside, service was severely understaffed but doing the best they could, and prices outpace food quality/quantity. I cut them some slack for the personnel issue that day, but this place was dirty, worn, and overpriced. If you are wanting Chicago style pizza, just get it to go! read more

Back to school! For the past 19 years, l have enjoyed this bittersweet experience. But this year we found comfort at Rosati's. We left the South Bay early but getting out of Los Angeles was a drag. We finally arrived in San Diego! Tired, hangry, and new to this side of town we were looking for a place to enjoy our meal without the bells and whistles. A tip was whispered to my daughter and since it was down the road we went in. At first glance you think it is a regular pub. But as you walk in further you landed in Chicago! The music, the atmosphere and the people took me back to that summer of 87! A cool breeze in your hair after leaving Lake Michigan and walking into a bar for some great food. But hold the phone, we are not in Chicago in fact there is no waterfront skyline! Just then this cute button nose person welcomes us with a beautiful smile. Sarah says everything on the menu is delicious. I give her my James Dean look, cause nothing is authentic anymore. We order their Wednesday wings special, the 7 inch Chicago deep dish pizza and the grand daddy Lasagna! Authentic will see! We wet our Palate. That 23 oz Blond hits the spot. Half way through my beer. Sarah arrives with the goods. The smell of fresh garlic bread and oregano awake my soul. I gobble the Lasagne like some lost castaway in a deserted Island. The cheeses, the spices and the sauce all explode in my mouth! This is the real McCoy, Sarah was right the food is 100% made from scratch! Chicago pub with authentic food is here in sunny San Diego. My hats off to the chef and Tim thank you for the memories. Adios Rosati's until we meet again. read more

A guy from Chicago said this is his go to pizza spot. I'm not saying "this is the best pizza in San Diego" but you will certainly be asking yourself that question. Since deep dish takes longer to cook so I placed the order by phone. He said it would be ready in 20min, and it was. Very friendly staff, great place to watch the game with a beer. Plenty of seating inside and out. I got the 14 inch deep dish, which will easily feed three Very hungry people. 5/5 - I bring all my San Diego visitors here to try this Chicago style pizza. Giordano's has competition with Rosati!!! *** pro tip - get the daily special, it's almost half price for the deep dish on Thursday. read more

Being from Chicago, I know Rosati's well. When one opened in San Diego, I was hyped for a taste of home. Verdict? Not exactly like Chicago. The toppings aren't stacked as high and the crust is different (probably the water). Still, my go to extra cheese, Italian sausage, beef, and mushroom combo with giardiniera on the side brings back the memories. Welp! On to the next Chicago fix. read more

We had Rosati's cater our recent work meeting. Everyone loved the Chicago style thin crust pizzas!! The pre-made beef sandwiches were a hit!!! Very easy for a grab and go style lunch! The penne pasta was extraordinary! One person even claimed it was better than his grandma used to make. The owner, Sam, was so helpful. HE made great suggestions to ensure we had enough food for everyone. I highly recommend for any upcoming catering need! read more

Amazing food honestly the best pizza I've had in years. that good! The sandwich was top notch. Made with care and time. The dessert was also delicious. Simple and well executed. My brother got the wings and pizza and the wings are BIG! Our waitress was extremely nice I believe her name was Nichole. Even got us soda to go. I've been to a Rosati's before but this one is top notch. Don't skip this place, definitely going back Not a sports fan but has all the games and plenty of tvs and drinks if that's your scene. read more

When we decided to come here, we didn't initially know the restaurant was known for Chicago-style pizza. After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a shot. Yelpers haven't let us down before and this was no exception! We've been to Chicago and Rosati's offered the same pizza experience without the airfare! Our server, Samantha, was our first great impression. She was so pleasant and accommodating. Definitely had a mostly-locals kind of feel - we liked that too. The food was outstanding. We started with arincini balls - deep fried risotto balls filled with Italian beef and spicy giardiniera. The marinara sauce was the highlight - not sweet but not acidic; it was perfectly balanced. Giggling - I ate the little cup of it with my fork! Ha ha... The owners mentioned their Italian sausage is their own mix so we tried it on the pizza. It was a little lost but, when I hit on a nugget of it, it was pure joy. The dough was very savory and wasn't super thick, which I appreciated. The powdered sugar zepole dessert with a Nutella dip was the icing on the cake (#dadpun). It was a wonderful experience and definitely somewhere we'll put in our rotation. read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. It's local, cute, has a lot of tvs to watch sports, isn't a chain etc but wow what a disappointing experience. The pesto pasta was gross I had to send it back, it was like a soup. The wings however were great. They were jumbo lemon pepper wings. Since then nothing has gone right. The menu and prices they have on their site don't match the real menu at all. I called four different times and items that they have on their site are not on their menu and can't be ordered. Last time I ordered the 12 jumbo wings. They totally ripped me off. The were the tiniest wings I've ever seen NOTHING jumbo about them at all and the charged me THIRTY THREE DOLLARS for 12 little m wings. $33 for 12 wings?? Total rip off. I won't go here again read more

I'm going to go out on a limb and pronounce this one of San Diego's best happy hours. Mostly because it goes 'til 7:00 most days and all day Sunday! The bar area was definitely lively this particular Friday evening. If you're not from Chicago, you may have never had an Italian Beef sandwich. I hadn't until last night. The "Mini" is on happy hour for $8. It's indeed pretty small- a 4" section of the regular sub. It was delicious! Sort of like a French Dip meets a cheesesteak with sweet or hot peppers on top and au jus for dipping. I'm a heathen, so I just poured some over the top- juicy! Sweet peppers next time. I think the full-sized size one at full price ($16) might actually be a better deal and you can get it with a side salad! (or fries). That's the plan for next time. Also tried the happy hour "thin" crust Jumbo Slice ($8). While the Italian sausage was authentic and high quality, the crust was thick (not thin) and a bit unexpected. I think I'd pass on that. The deep dish has to be better. No matter what you eat, the happy hour beers are a good deal. I had a large 23 ounce Societe (craft) for just $8. Wells and house wines are likely $7, but I failed to snap a pic of that side of the happy hour menu. Next time! read more

For $40 plus dollars, the pizza was not worth it. My family and I couldn't figure out why the crust seemed familiar and then we remembered, it tasted like pizza from 7/11. Nothing about this pizza was worth $40! Sam's Club, Little Caesar's, and Dominos would have been a better buy. I thought I ordered their deep-dish but after the pizza that came, I don't plan on ordering from here again. read more

Pros: Conveniently located Cons: Worst pizza I've ever had. I have high standards for pizza but dang!! Ever since the place opened a few years ago, we avoided it but decided to give it a try on a whim. We ordered pasta and pizza and both were gross. Sauces on pizza and pasta were so bland even my kids wouldn't eat it. Its overpriced and I would say overrated but it appears the rating were already sub-par. Overall: I don't want to see any businesses or person do bad but honestly can't wait for this restaurant to be replaced. Sorry!! read more

Love this place. Chicago thin pizza, Chicago deep dish, Italian beef, hot dog. You gotta try it.

Super solid spot. It's a family friendly place for sure with a nice selection of alcohol and very solid food. The interior is nice, not too cramped capacity wise. TVs everywhere televising Chicago-based sports primarily. Rosati's is family owned. There's a little girl running the cash register and taking orders, she's very sweet. I haven't tried too much here but i did try the Chicago beef, wet, with peppers. It was phenomenal. Sorry I don't have experience with having it in Chicago but it is without a doubt a highly competitive beef based sandwich in this region. It beats gaglione bros and Gus pizza, those are my local go tos. I can't say I'll come all the way down to Mission Gorge just for the sandwich but my son's school has events here often and it's a great spot. Recommend for sure. read more

Rosati's is a chain of pizza joints from Chicagoland and one of my favorites when I was growing up there so I was so freaking excited to have them here closer to San Diego. There are locations in the North County off the 5 and the 15. I believe the first one in SoCal I found out about was in Corona over a decade and a half ago and I have been to all of them. They are ALL great, consistently with good food. Thank you for opening up here in the San Diego area and by the way try the WINGS, SANDWICHES and the BURGERS. HOLY WOW MAMA! Not just great PIZZAS and SANDWICHES but great BURGERS too. I easily put this one in the TOP 5 of San Diego for now until this gets knocked down. Hayes..... NOPE ROSATIS is...You get it all at this location now! Find your FOOD HERE! HUNGER SATISFIED! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Nice choice craft beer. Lasagna & pizza great. Happy Hour food very lacking. Boneless wings are overly battered and little meat. Deep dish mini pizza at $17 was pitiful; bread hard & chewy, 1 inch of sauce and minuscule cheese and chicken at bottom. They said that's the way they make it... so avoid it. Bar service was great. I'll go back but won't be ordering that deep dish or boneless stuff. read more

I was looking for Tavern style Chicago Pizza and I decided to try this place. Just to clarify it's not deep dish like traditional Chicago. It's a thin crispy crust cut into squares. Probably the best pizza. But it has to be made the way they do it in Chicago. I did some research and found out that the family migrated from Italy more than 100 years ago. That's a good sign. Anyway, I went in to try the pizza and it was phenomenal. Exactly like Chicago style tavern pizza. And here's the best part so reasonably priced. Lunch special is $15 for 14 inch pizza with two toppings. To add to the experience the server/waitress, Nicole, was a sweetheart. You're doing something right Rosati's. Excellent food, great prices, great service. That's rare nowadays. Bravo. I'll be back. read more

WOW! My first time here. They made me feel like a regular. Great food. I highly recommend the Italian beef sandwich, order it juicy with the sweet peppers. The beef sandwich is savory, juicy with generous portions of meat. I am not a pepper guy but was encouraged to try the sweet peppers. The sweet peppers are simply amazing. Tender with a hint of sweetness. A perfect compliment to an already great sandwich and good to put on the side of fries as well. the sandwich and the sweet peppers were both so good I cant decide which was better. They have a beautiful bar set up if you are looking for a comfortable chill spot to drink with friends. If you want to wow out of town guests with some food, this is a good spot for that. I also got some cannolis to go which were on point, creamy, not too sweet. A perfect dessert for an Italian lunch. read more

The food might be delicious, but this Chicago restaurant was NOT prepared for the crowd for DA Bears playoff game. Waiting more than an hour and a half for our pizza, the young server never came back to ask for any additional drink orders. The server next to us checked on 6 nearby tables more than once and never once glanced our direction. The dirty plates from our appetizer sat on our table more than 65 minutes. We came to celebrate the team, but we will not be back to this location if they win today. read more

Cool bar area, has outdoor seating. Had a live small band setting up, probably local regular entertainment. TVs to watch the games on, has happy hour with a great amount of eats on lower price and drinks as well. Had the Chicago hot dog with fries but wasn't impressed. I did like that they use all beef hot dogs tho. Fries are good, had a nice cold beer with it and it was just a chill lunch outing. I will go back and try it again, maybe their pizzas which they're more known for. Service was decent. Nice, attentive. read more
