Finally, real Chicago thin crust pizza... a true delight if you're from the Windy City and a Chicago experience for those that are not. Crisp, thin crust, plenty of Italian sausage and cheese to go around with a uniquely flavorful sauce. It doesn't get much better than this. And yes, it's cut in squares. You don't get to fold Chicago pizza. Now, if we could just get the White Sox to move to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, life in the Triangle would be perfect. read more

I first visited Rosati's Pizza roughly three years ago and enjoyed my experience enough for four stars (see previous review). I thought their Chicago style deep dish pizza was delicious, and the fact they offered the deep dish variety made them standout in the crowded pizza business. I decided to treck over from Durham to Morrisville for a second visit and either in three years I have become a much harsher critic or this place is not what it used to be. Based on some other recent reviews, I am betting on the latter. I showed up with a friend on a Sunday evening and was surprised that they weren't that busy. Despite this we stood at the 'wait to be seated' area a few minutes before someone finally noticed us. When I was acknowledged we were informed it would be ten minutes before they could get a table wiped off. It was more like 15 minutes and I was about ready to walk out when we were finally informed a table was ready. Again to re-iterate this wasn't due to someone occupying a table, they simply hadn't gotten around to cleaning them off. Me and my friend split an anti-pasta salad, which was ok, but had mostly ham and bologni and very little salami. I requested Italian dressing which was of the creamy Italian variety and I prefer vinaigrette, but wasn't given that option. Our waitress also offered to bring out bread with our salad, but never did bring it out. The last time I was there, I remember the pizza taking a while to come out which is understandable since it is deep dish. This time it didn't seem to take as long, but the pizza didn't seem all the way cooked either. The crust was a little doughy and the green peppers were still crunchy. The pizza wasn't bad per se, just not as good as I remember the last time. Ok, so that is my first world problems rant for the day. I don't think I will be willing to drive to Morrisville to Rosati's for their deep dish pizza again based on this past visit. The fact that the place was not busy at all makes me think a lot of others feel the same way. read more

I've been looking for true Chicago style pizza since I moved to NC 20 years ago...and finally I've found it. My fiance and I visited Rosati's last Friday night around 7 pm, hoping that they wouldn't be too busy for us to dine in. Much to my surprise, the place was packed! The dining room was full (10 tables), the take out area was crazy, and there were at least 6 groups of people waiting for tables. I took this as a good sign and was really looking forward to my pizza. After a 40 minute wait, I approached the hostess strand to inquire about our table that was supposed to take 20 minutes. The hostess explained that she still didn't have any tables available and that it shouldn't be much longer. I then pointed to 2 empty tables...and she got a very surprised look on her face. (remember, there are only 10 tables in the dining room). She went to clean them off, so we were seated in another 5 minutes (5 minutes to clean 1 table?) Our salad came out wrong, but the server had it fixed right away. The pizza was good, but not great. We opted for one of the specialty combinations (goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and prosciutto), but probably should have gone for a more traditional Chicago combination (sausage, mushrooms, onions, green peppers). Even though this had an adequate amount of cheese on it, I am accustomed to much more. To me, Chicago style pizza should be cheese gluttony in a pan! All in all, the experience wasn't too bad. Service was 2 stars and food was 4 stars. As much as I wanted to give 4 stars overall, I just couldn't do it on this trip. It appeared that the entire restaurant was being run by inexperienced teenagers without any direction from a manager. Until Rosati's can get some adults to steer their ship, I would suggest this place for takeout only. I will be back for takeout, I will try a more traditional Chicago pizza, and I hope to give another star. read more

First off I'll state that this is my delivery experience with the food. To start off the website is easy to work with and placing an order was a breeze. I especially liked the "Order/Making/On The Way/Delivered" aspect of the web site, so you can actually track the status of your pie. My pizza was delivered through rush hour traffic in under 40 minutes. Not bad at all if I say so myself, especially since they have to deal with the Davis Drive traffic. The driver was very courteous when he arrived. I ordered a 12" deep dish pepperoni and spinach pie along with a small side Caesar salad. The salad was your standard crispy romaine with nice large chunks of Parmesan cheese and a handful of croutons. The dressing was creamy and pretty tasty. The pizza was a bit doughy for my liking. Maybe I was spoiled by Lou Malnati's butter crust. Aside from the dough, the chunky tomato sauce was flavorful, the spinach was plenty, but there really wasn't a lot of pepperoni. I'd say 2 pieces per slice. After reading all the reviews I must've set my expectations pretty high. I will try their dine in sometime soon so I can review that aspect of their restaurant. read more

There are only three places to get stellar pizza here in the triangle - Lilly's Pizza, Rosati's, and Papa Murphys. Over the years we've tried them all, Randy's, Georginas, and too many chains to list; but none have gone outside the ordinary. Rosati's is different! My wife, daughter, and I headed to try out Rosatis tonight and immediately got excited when we saw their deep-dish Chicago style pizza. It invoked memories of Zachary's Pizza in Berkeley, CA and Giordanos Pizza in Chicago - were we going to experience something similar in THE TRIANGLE? It seemed impossible, but being optimists we ordered a Chicago Style Deep Dish pizza with Spinach. OUTSTANDING. Our waiter was excellent (it's a small place, so lots of "personalized" service) and kept on filling up our drinks, and 25 minutes later (these pies take 20-25 minutes to cook) he brought out a beautiful pizza. Now, some of you might have read the words beautiful and thought I was referring to the way it looked - nope - BEAUTIFUL is the way it tasted. The chunky tomato sauce tasted great (none of that sauce with sugar added, or at least we didn't taste it), quality cheese, and a wonderful, flavorful, crust. No more trips down to five points for Lillys, and we can cut back on the Papa Murphy's take-and-bake....Rosati's is our new favorite pizza place! Now, after having said all that, we didn't find the appetizers (we had the fried zucchini) to be anything special - this review ranks the pizza and service only, after all - what else would you get at a pizza place? read more

First, let me start by saying that I have lived and traveled all over the world and everywhere I go, I seek out the best, whether I learn from a sight like this or through local word of mouth. I have been to Lombardi's, Grimaldi's, in NYC, DiFara's in Brooklyn, Giordano's in Chicago,Matthews and Pasticcio in Baltimore, A-16, Pizzeria Delfina and gialina in San Fran, and even Tacconelli's in Philly. I know great pizza!! I have been to Rosita's two times, both for the pizza. The first time, I got their Double Dough. Last night, I was craving the Chicago Deep dish. With trying this place 2 times now, I must say that it is up there with Randy's for best local pizza...by far. It's really hard to compare this place to Randy's because they are so different. Randy's is what you want then you want a huge NYC style folder slice. Rosari's is great for everything else. Now, If you have been to Giordano's in Chicago and are expecting that exact pie, you will be disappointed. That is NOT to say that this place is bad (I did give it 5 stars). It's just not the same...not as thick and the sauce was not completely covering the top. One thing I look for in a great pie is FRESH INGREDIENTS!!! With every bite of a Rosati's pie, you can taste that quality and freshness. The meats taste like they were just sliced and the cheese tastes like they just grated it, and the best of all, their crust. I judge my great pizza experience on the crust first. Without a good crust, you have nothing. I LOVE theit pie and will defiantly be going back for more. Little side note, they DO have meatballs as a topping choice, just not listed on the menu. read more

Fucking Staples! I had two delicious Chicago pizzas. One problem the meat lovers had a stack of fucking staples in it. So I grabbed the stack and pulled them out. Pizza is still good so far no more staples but for real watch your step. Still good though. read more

Rosati's Pizza - Staples!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

We had the deep dish hawaiian pizza. The bottom crust was thin and crispy..topped with this thick tomato sauce with pieces of tomatoes. The melted cheese plus plentiful of toppings definitely hit the spot. The only thing is the side crust of the pizza. It was too thick and crispy for a deep dish. It is supposed to be soft.. O well, it hit the spot anyway and definitely worth going back to. read more

My Waist line may not like this place but my Stomach CANNOT GET ENOUGH During my tenure as a former college student I have became a connoisseur of pizza. not only fast and cheap but also gourmet. This establishment shines when it comes to pizza. Using fine ingredients you will not be disappointed unless you are looking for something on the lines of Domino's pizza. The deep dish and Chicago pizzas are simply divine. Crusts are cooked to perfection and I cannot stop salivating thinking about them writing this review. When you bit into this pie you will be instantly greeted with chunks of tomatoes, perfectly seasoned meats, and cheese that make you as giddy as a NASA engineer who just got his first model rocket. The staff is always friendly and makes sure you are attended too without smothering you. read more

This place F'ing sucks. Walked in for lunch, didn't get asked for drinks until about 15-20 later. We were the only ones there btw. We came to eat deep dish Chicago style pizza, they didn't have it, the thing they are known for they are out of. Our drinks came with no ice, they didn't have water running or ice for drinks. The sever was an ass. Wasn't helpful at all. There were multiple people that walked in sat down and left after not being served for 15min. Never coming back. read more

I am originally from Chicago, and nothing satisfies my hunger more than a well-made Italian Beef sandwich, with fries and a root beer. Now, my standard of comparison is the amazing Chicago restaurant chain known as Portillo's. I have searched and searched for an Italian Beef sandwich that matches or exceeds how good that one is. I've yet to find one... but I must say that after a lot of less-than-satisfactory experiences, Rosati's Pizza has (so far) come the closest to fulfilling my idea of what makes a great Italian Beef! On a whim, my wife and I decided to see what kind of Chicago-style food was nearby, as we're still fairly new to the Raleigh-Durham region. Rosati's came up as the first search result, and so (noting that Italian Beef sandwiches were on their menu) we decided to check it out. Upon arriving, we received a very friendly greeting, and I must say the atmosphere inside the restaurant is top-notch. It almost felt a little like stepping back in time inside a downtown Chicago restaurant. The ambient music was carefully-chosen and very well-suited to the feel of the establishment, creating a rather piquant environment. My wife and I sat down and perused the menu, and were almost tempted to stray from our original intention of ordering sandwiches to get a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza instead. Man, did they sound good! But, perhaps next time we'll try that. For this visit, I needed to see if their Italian Beef sandwich would measure up to my hopes and dreams. Of course, this includes requesting the optional giardiniera peppers as well. When the food arrived, it looked and smelled amazing! I couldn't wait to dig in! But first, I noticed that the bread on my Italian Beef sandwich was toasted a little heavily. So I asked for a little extra au-jous to help soften it up a bit, which they quickly brought out to me. After soaking the sandwich a little bit with the au-jous, I held it in my hands and bit in. Mmmmmmm! The slices of beef were plentiful, and the giardiniera peppers added the perfectly right amount of heat/vinegar flavor. In addition, the french fries were very good as well. I usually prefer thicker fries, but even though these ones were thin and stringy, they had a surprisingly perfect balance of flavor - not too salty at all! Now, my final opinion on the Italian Beef sandwich? Well I must say, that even though it was good, I still rank a Portillo's Italian Beef as slightly better. For one, Rosati's Italian Beef sandwich seemed a little bit on the salty side (perhaps this was the extra au-jous I added?), and the bread was a little bit over-toasted and therefore dry, in my opinion. I am not saying this made the sandwich unenjoyable - it was still quite good! Just not quite deserving of five stars, in my opinion. Will I go back and order it again? Most probably, yes. But first, I must try out their deep-dish pizzas now... from what it looks like, based on other people's reviews, it's going to be amazing! read more

Stuffed mushrooms were excellent. Since this is a chain out of Chicago we had to try their Italian beef sandwich. It was comparable to Portillo's, though the au jus was on the side and there was no offer of hot or sweet peppers. One half of the bun dipped in au jus and with hot peppers would have been fantastic. Thin crust sausage pizza was excellent, very much the Chicago style I remember. Next trip the deep dish. All in all, Rosati's is a keeper, great food at an acceptable price. read more

I have to start my review by saying I'm from Chicago and love Chicago style pizza. I'm not a fan of thin crust, NY style pizza at all. They have both at Rosati's, but you can guess I had the Chicago style. This is my current favorite pizza in the area, but I can't quite give it 5 stars. While the pizza was very good and had lots of fresh ingredients, it still wasn't up to the places in Chicago. The dough at the crust is just plain huge and unless you're a huge crust fan, its just too much. Otherwise, very good pizza and if you do like Chicago style, this is as close as I've found in the RTP area. Service was fine very good. My only complaint was the recommendation of a large for 3 people. It was WAY too much. I think a medium would have been fine. For those of you not familiar with Chicago style pizza, you'd need to be really hungry to eat more than 2 slices. The kids cheese pizza was very big also. It could made a fine lunch for most adults. Not complaining here; its a pretty good value for $4.99. read more

Alex, our waiter, is outstanding & attentive; his friendliness and interest in providing us an incredible experience is well noted. Thank you, Alex! Now, on to the scrumptious food. Our deep dish "Monster" pizza was perfect, as always. Although it takes additional time to bake the deep dish pizza's, it's well worth the wait. An alternative is to call in your order prior to leaving home to speed up the process. However, we enjoy the delicious bread served prior to the pizza, so we don't mind the wait... We are already salivating while thinking about our next visit to Rudino's! read more

I've lived in the Triangle for ten years and am originally from Illinois. This is the first real Chicago pizza I have found in this area and I am over the moon. Other reviews have aptly described what Chicago-style pizza is, so I'll just settle for adding my voice to everyone else's. This pizza is yummy. read more

We have been going there 2-3 times a month since they opened a couple of years ago for their delicious pizzas and great salads but we noticed that lately the salads are getting smaller and the wait staff is not as friendly. There are a couple of high school age kids that wait tables there and they are great but the older ones, don't crack a smile (and this is not a lie) and do not seem like they want to be there at all. My wife, son, and I went there about 3 weeks ago and ordered a family size Ceaser salad and a medium pizza. Long story short, after eating the small table bread that was brought to our table, we asked for another one. When I received the check, I noticed a $1.50 charge for the extra table bread. I was spending over $40 and they charge me a $1.50 for extra "complimentary" table bread? There were three of us there sharing that little piece of bread, so yes, we did want more than just a couple of bites of bread each. Although it was a measly $1.50, I can not stand being nickel and dimed and this is exactly what it was. They lost about $150 of my money every month for being a little greedy. read more

Excellent deep dish pizza, friendly staff, decent pasta. Make sure you order extra sauce on the pasta.

Food is excellent as the competition for Pizza is becoming intense. There must be a dozen pizza parlors, carryouts and restaurants within 5 miles. There are a hosts of choices for both crusts and toppings so you can run the gamut from deep-dish to thin crust. They also have pasta dishes, sandwiches and great appetizers. Seating is limited in this upscale restaurant (for pizza) open just under a year. A notable feature is the owners are recently from Chicago and they have developed quite a following for authentic Chicago Pizza. The wine list has excellent value and it is hard to spend over $30 on a bottle with several quality names under $20. I fully recommend this place and they are as close to a five as casual can get. read more

Even though I live close enough to walk to Rosati's, I went there for the first time tonight. The dining room is small but comfortable and the wait was longer than promised but the owner brought around samples of the pizza to those of us who were waiting. Nice touch. After we were seated we were greeted quickly by our server, Ann, whose smile and friendly demeanor made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The owner, Jim, talked to us about, this, his first venture into the restaurant business and also made us feel welcomed. I had the linguine with while clam sauce which was very good but a little salty. The table bread was very good. My wife had baked mostaccioli with meat sauce which was excellent. My overall impression of this restaurant was positive and will be on our regular rotation of neighborhood places to frequent. read more

Excellent pizza! The toppings were put on thick. The waitress was new and she made sure everyone knew it (kinda got old hearing it so much and trying to enjoy dinner). Slim selection of beer, which was not very cold. read more

Rosati's Pizza - The "monster"....it's called that for a reason. Excellent pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

Im a Chicago transplant and I'm so happy to have them here! Its as close as youre going to get to Chicago style pizza as youre going to get in North Carolina! read more

Went last night for dinner. Had the Chicago style with pepperoni, onions and peppers. Pizza was good but had a few detractors. With a Chicago style I want sauce. This pizza had only the base amount of it. Also, they need to cook it better. Crust was well done with middle of pizza barley done. Side note unrelated to the food, this place seriously needs more seating. That or call ahead ordering to sit down in. I understand it was a friday night but the place is tiny! That or just be a order out place, in which case they need to redo their counter. read more

I remember eating at Rosati's in Chicago years back before they franchised out, it was always one of the better pizza places. While this one has "watered down" it's menu somewhat in an attempt to peddle Chicago style deep dish across the country, it is still the best Chicago style pizza I've found in the Triangle (other than what I make at home). By that I mean, it is not the same as it was but it is still good. I suggest getting the deep dish with hot giardenara, spinach, and onions. This is fork and knife stuff-- wonderful flavors. Also, their clams Donato appetizer is great and I've always gotten great service. I drive 45 minutes one way to get this pizza and come probably 7-10 x's per year. For those unacquainted with Chicago style deep dish, you have to be patient as they take 30-45 minutes to bake and they are a bit more expensive than NY style as there is more cheese, more that goes into it. As one who has a dad from Brooklyn but also lived in Chicago for 9 years, I appreciate both styles-- I consider Chicago style deep dish more of a gourmet, fork and knife meal whereas NY style is fast food, imo. read more

Was very pleased to find a few Rosatis locations in the area after moving here from IL. This is, in my biased opinion, the best pizza around. However, I was severely disappointed when I got home and found my pizza looking the way it did..... I asked for "square cut", not jigsaw puzzle cut. read more

Rosati's Pizza - C'mon Rosatis... - Pizza Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

After being very impressed by a restaurant of the same name in a near by town with entirely different ownership, I was absolutely sickened by my recent visit to this location closer to my home. Dirty plates and wasted left over food from previous customers remained on the next table for the entire duration of our meal without being cleared. That was the first disgusting thing. Unfortunately, our food was terrible too... The salad was old, wilted, discolored, and just not fresh. The Italian beef was so underwhelming and served on toasted hard apparently stale bread. The French fries were served mushy and disgusting, and worst of all, the cheese on our pizza did not taste fresh, but rather expired and spoiled. We wasted a lot of our meal, and left feeling sick. The quality of this restaurant was as bad as it gets. What a mistake to go here. Beware... You're better off anywhere else. If you need Chicago food, drive further or order it frozen online. This place is not worth the huge disappointment. read more

Amazing service! The waiter on duty was phenomenal! The food was really good. The cheesecake is so authentic it almost tastes homemade! read more

Rosati's Pizza - No lunch rush!!! - Pizza Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

I finally tried the thin crust, which is very good and close enough to Chicago-style thin crust, and correctly cut into squares. (A more authentic version would be thinner and bigger, but I quibble over details.) I tried the trick of calling ahead to reduce your wait time, it worked like a charm. read more

Just drove 1 1/2 hours for pizza. Best Chicago thin crust pizza ever. Love. Best service in town. You will not be disappointed

(My review shows my location as San Francisco, but I am in West Cary!) I have previously given 5 star ratings to Rosati's in Morrisville. They always had consistent quality. I first ordered their pizzas in 2010. The ingredients were always top quality and delicious. My more recents orders in 2021 were also consistently good throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall. However, I ordered a pizza on 12/27/2021 that was no good at all. It was worse than boxed frozen pizza from the grocery store. The crust, which was always top-notch was suddenly like chewing on cardboard. I could not determine whether the sauce, cheese and toppings were inferior quality because the crust was so bad. It wasn't just me. I introduced my girlfriend to Rosati's a couple of years ago and she also fell in love with their pizzas. We always counted on them and preferred their pizzas over any other in the entire Triangle area. I don't know what changed. Is there new management? Would really like to determine if this was a fluke, or if I can never have a tasty pizza from there again??? read more

Friendly service, filling pizza, very tasty overall. I went with a friend from Chicago who said that the pizza came very close to the Chicagoland original except for one thing: the crust. As someone who has eaten at several of these pizzerias (Uno's doesn't count, it's not even headquartered in Chicago), I have to agree. It's not all that flaky or buttery. I did enjoy their tomato sauce. My selection was very basic, just plain cheese with garlic (garlic on pizza, you can never go wrong with that). read more

I have visited Rosati's many times and can't believe I haven't yet taken the time to sing their praises. Their house dressing is so fabulous that I wouldn't miss a side salad with my meal. They deliver freshly-baked bread to the table-Yum! My favorites? The lasagna is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I also enjoy the chicken marsala. And you definitely can't go wrong with the pizza. Deep dish? Yes please! We've always been pleased with the service and speed. The dining area is small and comfortable. A solid A for Rosati's! read more

After relocating to NC, my husband and I are on the search for good pizza. We don't care for the thin crust New York style and wanted to try a pizza with a bit more depth. My husband ordered the Monster pizza which was not good. It was as though they made a pot of spaghetti sauce, included all of the ingredients found in the kitchen (spicy sausage, bell pepper, olives, pepperoni, etc) and ladled it onto a round of crust and sent it out the door. If there was cheese on the pizza, no one would ever know. The only thing you could taste was very acidic tomato sauce and spicy sausage.. Couldn't even taste the crust .. My husband seemed to like it but no thanks.. I guess I'm a traditionalist when it comes to spaghetti sauce. read more

I walked in for lunch and was completely ignored by the manager who was sitting behind the takeout corner at the front of the store; then we saw the "please wait to be seated sign", and walked up to it. The manager then stood up from his perch, and walked from behind the counter to greet us and seat us. The dining room is small (10 tables and booths combined), but clean. I was slightly disappointed the menu stated that ordering a Chicago deep dish pizza would require 30 minutes. I was pleased to see that there was a varied menu which included calzones, sandwiches, and salads to address the issue of long lead times on the pizza; Since it was lunch, I couldn't wait around for a pizza to get made, and there were good alternatives. Table service was prompt, as the waitress came up and took and returned with our drink orders quickly. Other than the pizza itself (which looked good), I like to think that another telling sign of a good pizza joint is the quality of the chicken parm, or the italian sandwich (both of which were on the menu), so I ordered a chicken parm, and my wife ordered the eggplant parm sub. This came with a salad or soup, and so I got the salad, and my wife got the soup. Both were good, and both were very fresh. When our food arrived, I noticed that both sandwiches had virtually no tomato sauce on them, but was rectified by a generous portion of mozzarella cheese. Chicken Parm - it looks like they fried the crap out of the cutlet to the point of burning the breading (it was black). I had this moment of deciding whether or not to try and power through eating a burnt sandwich, but it was inedible, so I sent it back. I rarely send food back. I think what irks me is that the cook didn't know enough to visually see that the food was not fit to be eaten. Eggplant Parm - the eggplant looked fine, but my wife complained that they added some tough portions of eggplant that she couldn't choke down, and had to spit out on the side of the plate. The waitress was gracious, (but unapologetic) in taking back the sandwich, and when she returned shortly after with a new sandwich, the manager was standing next to us. He chose not to say anything about this to me. It was pretty much at this point that I wrote the place off, but wait, I have one more thing to say. After I was about halfway through my second sandwich, the waitress came back and asked how everything was. I was mid-sentence in attempting to say it was better, before she interrupted me and said "great, let me know if you need anything else..." - in other words, her interest in my meal was rather disingenuous. Other random thoughts: Waitstaff with bad tattoos exposed on the arms cheapen the ambiance. Mountain Dew served in fine glassware is just kind of tacky. How about some regular cups? For a place with such few tables, it's curious that 2 waitresses and a manager seemed like they were in such a hurry? I was thinking I'd come back if the sandwiches were good, but based upon my service experience, I ain't - this place has got issues which I'm afraid even the pizza won't remedy. read more

My family and I have tried Rosatis a few times, and we absolutely love it!! Their food is always fresh and delicious. The service is amazing and i have to say tonight i ordered delivery and the man who took my order was seriously so friendly and patient and new about everything on the menu. I don't think i have ever in my life had such an amazing phone order conversation! I would highly recommend Rosatis Pizza to anyone who hasn't tried them yet!! read more

Went December 2014. The deep dish we ordered was not cooked all the way through which made it very hard to enjoy. The cheese did not seem to be the best of quality. The crust seemed to match the flaky Chicago style. The counter girl was very nice along with the other young employees I encountered. So it seems they train the staff decently but pizza obviously has issues. It is kinda pricey for what you get. read more

Rosati's Pizza - Chicago-Style Deep Dish. Was not cooked thoroughly. - Pizza Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

Heaviest most amazing pizza I've ever eaten. No kidding, the large weighed like 20lbs. Worth the price!

Never agin. I've been a huge fan of Rosati's since they opened. Raised in Chicago, I miss Portillo's beef and Chicago pizza. Rosati's beef was not Portillo's but really close when they opened. And their thin-crust sausage combo pizza was great. The entire family loved the place. Then the original owners sold it. The next visit was not good. The beef was fatty and not spiced right. The service was bad. Talked to the new owner, he seemed thankful for the criticism but didn't make me optimistic that he understood. Tried it a few months later and it was better, so I was hopeful. Returned last night with the extended family. Five of us at 6:30 on a Sunday night. The booths were full but every table was empty. We were told there would be a 20 minute wait because they "had to clean off a table for us." We asked why they couldn't just push 2 tables together, after arguing for several minutes they reluctantly agreed to do so. We ordered a bottle of wine, family sized Monster salad, 20" pizza and a beef sandwich. After about 20 minutes the beef sandwich came out. Not the salad, just the sandwich. When asked, the server said there was a mix up of tickets in the kitchen as they got really busy all of a sudden (2 other 4 person groups). She made it sound like it was our fault they had a mix up. So I tried the beef. It was so salty it was inedible. Several others verified it. Plus the au jus that should be water thin and almost transparent had a heavy texture to it and was dark brown. We ordered it 'dipped,' it obviously wasn't and just had some of the 'gravy' blobbed on, with a cup of it on the side. Pizza and salad were delivered together. At least both were prepared correctly. I spoke to the 'manager' who had been there less than a month and seemed pretty clueless. He comped the sandwich and salad, obviously wanted to make it right but really had no idea why we were upset. Finally, bottles of wine are half-price on Sunday, of course the bill had full price, the server said "I probably forgot to adjust the price." So if you want a terrible beef sandwich and terrible service this is the place. And you can have my table because I sure won't be using it. I hate it when a great restaurant falls apart. It used to be soooo good. read more

These folks make pizza with the full intention of bringing you back. Best pizza I've had in a looong time.

I've had deep dish in Chicago at Giordanos and other top places and I think Rosati's makes better Chicago deep dish. Loved it!

Run of the mill pizza - nothing special - some items looked like heated out of the freezer. 3 star thats it.
