I've lived in Chicago for 48 years & always enjoyed Rosati's. When I moved to san diego, I struggled to find a Chicago style pizza that reminded me of home. I'm so glad my husband and I discovered there was a Rosati's near our home here in SD. Service was impeccable, atmosphere was awesome, especially music. And of course the deep dish is amazing! We'll definitely be back!

Average. Don’t bother with the wings or Chicago dog. The deep dish pizza tasted fine (not great) in-house but $3 per topping is too much because of course you’re not just gonna order sauce and cheese. Friendly staff. Lots of specials as each day of the week has food or drink deals. I’ll give it one more shot to try the regular pizza and pasta.

Been there several times. The Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is excellent, but pricey. Very filling, enough to feed the whole family. Wings are good. Usually have good service. Italian Sandwich is very tasty. Just realized that they charge a service fee for using a credit card and also they have stopped excepting the Synergy Gift Card. Because of those two things I may never go back again. I will find another family owned restaurant to give my hard earned money to. Really don't appreciate being charged for using my credit card

Great pizza! Without knowing what a Chicago style deep dish looks or tastes like, i have to say i was impressed by how different Rosati’s makes their pizza. Sauce on top of all the ingredients?!? Its amazing if you love pizza with lots of tomato sauce. Guaranteed to please if you are open to this idea. The crust is al dente and one pizza is plenty for 3-4 people. They offer specials and they have a good beer selection. The location is a bit of a dive but it has plenty of seating.

Absolutely amazing thin crust. Pizza is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Got the combo and the meat lovers for lack of a better term. Both were nice and crispy, no flop, Phenomenal flavor on the sauce. Can’t wait to go back and try the deep dish. Hidden jam in the busy, bustling area across from Home Depot. Also easily the best Home Depot in the area, but that’s for another review. We’ll be back…

Ordered the deep dish and what can I say, the sauce is bomb there plenty of very delicious cheese and not to much like I had in Chicago. The crust was cooked perfectly. Also spoke with the owner and he was very cool and we cracked some jokes. Ill be going back to try some of their other menu items which is pretty large and I think anyone would find something they like. Their happy hour and specials seem very well priced. Loved it and the booths were super comfortable. The other staff were also all super friendly.

Nice larger pizzeria with very friendly staff. Pizza crust was a little thicker than traditional NY Style.
