I grew up in Arizona, where the closest pizza place was another Rosati's. I always loved their thin-crust spinach and garlic pizza, but I thought after I moved to Madison I'd never get to experience that again. It turns out that the owner of this location actually owned the location I frequented in Arizona, too! And the pizza tastes exactly the same. Plus, it's right down the road from where I work. You can't get much better than that! read more

You can never go wrong at rosaties. Today I got one if my usuals, the cheef, it's Italian beef with giardinara, topped with perfectly melted mozzarella, and dipped in au jus. The cheef is AMAZING. My only other "usual" here are their ribs and they are always perfect. read more

Really disappointed in the regular, large, pepperoni pizza. I live near their Mineral Point location and since I can't seem to find a decent Italian spot, much less a pizza, in Madison..... I tried Rosati's. This is my 2nd time ordering a pizza from them. The first time they burnt it so when we ate it all we tasted was a char taste. Well, this one wasn't burnt, but instead of tasting the burnt taste, I tasted the sauce. Which tasted like Spaghettio sauce. Not a whole lot of cheese on there. The crust was thinner than I expected as I didn't order a "thin crust", just regular... *shrug* My husband and I both had a "WTF" moment and said that it tasted like a Tombstone. Then I said, "Not even a Tombstone! Maybe a Jack's frozen pizza!" Literally had me wishing I didn't waste $16 on this. The 2nd star comes from the Italian Beef they have there. They are really good, and huge portion for the price. Wishing I would have ordered that instead of the pizza. read more

The pan style pizza was perfect with a non dry cluster! Service was good with a typical family style setting with checkered table clothes. The gyro pizza was excellent. read more

Ordered a Chicago-style pizza last night with spinach, mushrooms and onions. Probably will not order from Rosati's again. This is the second time we've been disappointed. We thought we would give them another try with this order. The pizza was luke-warm at best when delivered. It arrived within the 45 minutes- 1 hour as promised. What should have been the big tip off that something was "not quite right" was that the box was soaked on the bottom. Perhaps they didn't saute the spinach as they say they do and it made the pizza "wet". The crust was soggy and had little flavor. They used to have REALLY GOOD pizza! What happened????? Very disappointed paying $23.22 for a pizza that wasn't very good. :( read more

Best pizza in Madison and the service is excellent! Its quick and the staff are very friendly !

Love the pizza here. Best pizza in Madison along with the chief sandwich. Been ordering here for years always quality service!!!! Thanks guys read more

I really love thin crust pizza so I'm always happy with Rosati's. The sauce has some nice zing to it and there's the perfect amount. In the past, the cheese seemed a little skimpy to me so I ordered extra this time and it was definitely better. The pizza came really quick, was hot when it got to my hotel, and the delivery guy was very friendly. I will order again! read more

I had a large thin crust sausage, mushroom and bacon pizza. It was absolutely delicious! One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. Highly recommend and I will be ordering from Rosati's a lot from now on! Well done Rosati's ! read more

Rosati's is a guilty pleasure as I know I shouldn't eat a whole 14" thin crust pepperoni pizza, but I almost do ever time I order it. Fast delivery and delicious, the Cheef is also worth sinking your teeth into. read more

Having never tried Rosati's before, I was eager to see what the buzz was about. So, my friends and I ordered some food which we would later pick up. As a vegetarian, I was pleased to see that there was a cleverly named "Veggie Wrap" on the menu, so I ordered it. When I finally got home with my food and started to dig in, I instantly noticed that my wrap smelled of beef!!! I speculated that the restaurant was not world-class, and as such, grilled their supposed "Vegetarian-friendly" fare on the same grill as their meat products, instantly losing authenticity. Sure enough, after calling, I found out I was right. A young lady picked up the phone, and after asking her about their procedure for making wraps, an elderly man picked up the phone, and simply said "what up". After explaining to him that I don't eat meat, and that world-standards state vegetarian food be naturally, free of meat or meat by-products, he proceeded to tell me he had "never heard of a vegetarian" and he "doesn't know what that means". He continued to argue with me, and later refused to remake my Veggie Wrap because it would "cost him a couple dollars". I told him I could not eat it, and I would like to be reimbursed, He then uttered a slur, which I don't care to repeat, and told me to go elsewhere. Needless to say, this restaurant is clearly at the bottom of the heap in more ways than one and, frankly, is a lawsuit waiting to happen. If you are vegetarian, a minority, or just looking for an honest local pizzeria to patronize, I beg of you to steer clear of this ever-struggling establishment. read more

Their pizza is a joke! They advertise "Chicago style" pizza but they clearly know nothing about it. After waiting over an hour for our delivery, I opened the box to discover the most pathetic pizza I have ever seen. The crust was extremely thin and dry-more like a burned cookie. Presentation was awful! Whoever cut the pizza cut some sample sized pieces that were embarrassing to serve to family and friends that we were visiting. The manager did nothing to remedy the situation. In fact, he agreed that one would find a better value in a frozen, grocery store pizza. Extremely rude! Do NOT eat here! read more

Thank you, iPhone! You took us to Rosati's, and we were delighted with everything: the waitress, the coziness, the friendly customers there with us; and, of, course, the deep dish Chicago pan pizza. The slightly sweet, crisp crust; the savory sausage; the nutty warm cheese; that wonderful sauce! We will be back! read more

This is one of my husband's favorite pizza spots in Madison. We like dining in and enjoy the casual atmosphere of the dining room. I love the chopped salad! read more

If you need a Chicago food fix, come here. The Italian beefs are solid and so is the chicken parm. Pizza is so-so.

Good thin crust pizza. Best of the cheap places, but not always consitant on quality. Also they do not do 1/4 ingredients and would not even do it for me when I ordered form them 2-3 times a month for a year. I will not go back on principle. read more

Pizzas are pretty good! I prefer the double dough crust! The cheef sandwich with hot peppers and a side of aujus is also a personal favorite! read more

Pizza is one of the best in Madison. Crust is crisp and tasty , sauce us delicious, sausage is excellent (not the fakey stuff you get at most places and vegies are fresh. We always pick it up and it's always ready on time! read more

eh. was really craving a real chicago deep dish and it did not live up to my expectations. service was fine.

We only ever get carry-out from Rosati's, but it's always fast and delicious. Both the pizza and the lasagna keep us coming back. That being said, the crust is a little on the chewy side and the salads are very plain. The service is average, everyone usually looks like they're in a big hurry but they always get our order to us without much fuss. We give them steady business and have not yet had a bad experience. read more

Ordered pizza to our hotel on thanksgiving for my family. It came quickly, was exactly what we ordered and the pizza was really good. Only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is the veggie pizza didn't have many vegetables on it. read more

Excellent pizza. I use dot eat here quite a bit. It is more expensive, but you get what you pay for. The other menu items have always been very good also. Definitely would recommend. read more

I have never been bothered enough by bad service to leave a review. I ordered delivery via grub hub. Was told to expect the pizza in an hour. An hour and a half later I'm still waiting. I ring Rosati's and eventually they find the order then tell me it will be another 45 minutes. Not good enough. No more business from me. read more

Ok. I have been a lover of Chicago Deep Dish pizza for many years. I know how it is supposed to be done. I recently relocated to Madison Wi. I was over joyed to find that there was a Rosatis near me. So I figured I would give them a try. I ordered a 12 inch Chicago Deep Dish. The staff was very helpful with me picking out my size so I did not over order. When the pizza got here I couldn't was to dig in. It looked amazing. They must use some butter in the crust. It was the best Chicago pizza I have had in a long time. I will definitely be ordering from here a lot!! I give them five stars cause there wasn't ten!! read more

I must say, we don't have many good pizza options in Madison. But I love this place. Sandwiches are fresh and generous, place is clean, pizza is delicious. Definitely will come back. read more

So this place use to be a little piece of home for me. I am a Chicago girl missing Portillos. For awhile this was close in comparison. My last handful of visits have been less than good. Food was cold the last few times, and while coming to lunch with friends we would hope to all get our food at close to the same time. The last two visits proved otherwise. One of my friends received her food long after I was 3/4 done with mine. And today, her food was sitting on a shelf in back while the employees helped them selves to lunch. She knows this because again I was half way done with my meal and hers no where to be had. So she had to go look for it to discover this. So probably not gonna come back, I can make better food at home and know it's hot. It definitely doesn't carry the pride of Chicago that it use to. read more

Best deep dish outside of Chicago, hand tossed isn't that great. Don't order from here through Grubhub, their menu is wrong and messed up my order. Call the restaurant directly or go to their site online. read more

This place is good as it gets! My family and I were heading back to Chicago on the last three hours of our road trip. We were craving some Chicago style pizza for lunch so we found this place on our phone. I've lived in Chicago all my life and I've been to many pizza joints there. I've actually been to a few of the famous places as well. Places like Vito & Nick's on the south side of town, Margie"s on the north side and countless others. When we walked into Rosati's we were greeted by a very enthusiastic young man. He showed up to the dining area and sat us in a booth. Of course while traveling around on a road rip you're always going to see places that claim that they are Chicago style this and that. This Rosati's store was all Chicago! We had both a thin crust pizza and a Chicago style pie along with some onion rings and a hot dog. Yep, a hot dog. The service was excellent as was the food. The onion rings were a nice portion and they were cooked just right for my taste. The hot dog I ate was a true Chicago dog. Vienna Beef with all the trimmings. I hadn't had a hot dog that good in sometime. But this dog was as good or even a bit better than the ones I've had. The pizzas were brought to our table at the same time. I thought this was another good sign. I've been to places where I"d get my thin pizza twenty minutes before my pan pizza. That can always be super annoying. But not here at Rosati's. The thin crust pizza was an awesome pie. Very light and crispy crust with just the right amount of great tasting pizza sauce. The veggies were very fresh on both pizzas and the sausage on our thin pizza was really flavorful as well. The Chicago Style pizza was filled with all the fresh veggies ,cheese and just the right amount of sauce. We feel like we hit the jackpot on the way home. We now have a great stopping off place next time we're in the Madison area. The people of Madison should know that they have an authentic slice of Chicago in their own back yard. I'm looking forward to our next trip north just so we can stop in again. read more

Food is always great. Give a little love to the waitstaff, though. On one night, I was worried for the girl who took my order. She made a mistake and I got the impression that mgmt. would not be pleased with her if she did the right thing by the customer. She should have been able, at the very least (in my opinion) to give me 50% discount on the pizza only, if the error resulted in wasting half the pizza. I didn't argue with the meager offer of 25%. I remembered my niece's experiences while working there at one point and immediately related to the anxiety the staff was experiencing. If you can tell the mgmt. when their staff is great, maybe this will help them forge better relations with their employees. Obviously, if they enable their staff to give superior service, they will win more than loyal customers, they will gain happy and confident employees. If I were the type of customer that demanded fairness and could not see the fear of the boss in this employee, things would have escalated and that would have been silly. Silly because in a lot of restaurants they would simply buy the loyal customer the entire pizza! Again, great food!! I will make sure I do my part in the future and repeat my order a couple times to help out the busy and helpful staff. read more

Terrible service... First off started by ordering over the phone a pick up for pizza and wings... Had done so a few times over the past for delivery and had no problems with their sandwiches and the service was decent enough to consider okay... Clearly was not trying to get anything for free seeing as I called simply as courtesy call letting them know to cook the pizza slightly longer.. its also so close to me about a block away.. the pizza was not done at all the middle was extremely doughy and probably needed to be in the oven for just over another 5 minutes. The person I asked to talk to was apparently the manager or supposedly I should say. Really wondering who trained him because basically argued with me over five minutes without hearing anything I had to say. conversation on his end was clearly unintelligent.. Felt like I was talking to a child throwing a fit to get his way with no argument. Again wasn't trying to get anything for free was just stating the fact that their pizza was not done... In the midst of a general manager: arguing with me I decided to end the conversation with a" I will no longer ever order a single thing from this restaurant again "and he was okay with it!!!... For them it sucks.. Try Cafe la bellitalia or portabella read more

placed order for 2 pizzas one came wrong had company over. we had the choice for a 2 dollar credit or wait for another pizza. obviously we ordered the type of pizza we did for a reason. we were told a new pizza would be sent right out. have waited over 1 hour for correct pizza. so all together with company for lunch we have waited 2 plus hours. pizza is good but not worth the hassle. which is sad because probably one of the best pizza in madison however will probably never order again. read more

we have loved everything ..Have ordered Pizza,wings,calezones,lasagna,the assorted pastas are fantastic and the Italian beef sandwich is incredible... read more
