Rosario’s Pizza

Pasta was not good bread was cut up sub rolls salad was not good pizza maybe good but would advise going somewhere else

Got the Sicilian style pizza. It was much bigger than I expected. But it was good! We got carry out, but when I picked up the order it seemed like a nice clean place to get a slice. Employees seemed nice too. Really want to try the NY style soon.

Rosario’s has easily become our only Go To for incredible pizza. Whether you are just needing a slice or feeding the whole family we highly recommend. I lived in Italy for 3 years and it is by far the best pizza we have had since back in the states. My husband is from NY and swears Rosario’s is just like the pizza back home. I have only had the Chicken Marsala on the dishes menu and it was delicious. Try the stuffed pizza when you have a large crowd. It only comes in large but you get so many toppings and with 2 crust my family of 4 (2 teenage boys that have 2 stomachs each) always have leftovers. The garlic knots and pizza rolls are really good as well.
If you want real pizza, skip all the others and head to Rosario’s, you will not be sorry!!!

Service in store is great. If you phone to order, you are left feeling like an inconvenience. Food is ok. Order fresh. Service has declined.

Walk into ANY pizzeria in NYC or one of its boroughs, and you’ve also walked into Rosario’s! Totally by chance that I found this place, but man I’m I blessed to have found it! Now I don’t have to do the 9+ hour drive to get real NY pizza! The moment you walk in and see the glass cabinets housing as many as 18 pizzas, you know this is the real deal! The downside, where on earth to start! So we sampled the Chicken Parm, Chicken Marsala, Pepperoni, Sicilian, Meat, and Rice Balls! The Chicken Parmesan was exactly like eating the actual dish you’d get in a Italian restaurant in say, Staten Island! The breaded chicken cutlets on a nice NY pizza crust was outstanding! The Chicken Marsala was as if you were sitting in a spot in Little Italy in lower Manhattan! The Meat pizza was so incredibly loaded with meat, but that distinctive Italian sausage made the slice! The Sicilian is like what you’ll ONLY find in NYC! That thick, chewy, but light dough with a fabulous sauce soaked into that crust! If you’ve never had a Rice Ball from any pizzeria in NY, then you’ve done yourself an injustice. A ball of rice mixed with cheese, a meat interior, all covered in a Parmesan like breading, then deep fried to a crusty exterior! There is so much to choose from at Rosario’s, but do yourself a favor and realize that life is full of hard decisions!

This used to be my favorite pizza place in the area before I moved away 3 years ago. I moved back and tried it again, and it’s still great. Great owner, people and food!

Good authentic ny style pizzas by the slice. I’ll def be back. Can’t wait to try the pastas and grinders.

Really good pizza. The variety is excellent. Best pizza around. The Grandma’s recipe is very good, as is the egg plant and Sicilian.

The pizza her is by far the best in town. I have never had a bad slice and the pizza is always cooked to perfection It is a little pricey but i find it is worth it for the quality I am getting.

Chicken Parm pizza is amazing. Never had anything like it. The White pie was pretty good but that Chicken Parm was so good. Slices are huge and one slice of the Chicken Parm is super filling. Get it!

Best pizza in town! Why go to a chain when you can go to Rosario’s? I don’t know if they deliver because I always pick up. No mater how good the pizza it takes forever to get to my house and is cold. I have never requested delivery here but this is from past experience. The Cslzones are also excellent. Crispy on the outside, sofybon the inside. Yum. Salads, stromboli, cheesecake all excellent! We go often.

Amazing New York pizza! Fresh ingredients. The slices are so big you have to fold them in half! Quick service also.

Holy toppings! I got a veggie slice and it was overflowing with mushrooms, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, onions and green olives. I love pizza with green olives, so this made me very happy! I also ordered a supreme and it had black olives, peppers, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and onions. I probably could’ve had just one slice, but I am a glutton so that wasn’t happening. The crust was thin, crispy and just the right amount of chew. The sauce was plentiful and flavorful. Some of the better pizza I have had in a long time!

I miss Queens, my motherland.
That being said, Rosario’s absolutely has the best pizza I’ve had in NC.
But it’s not just the pizza! The atmosphere is incredible. It may not seem like much to most people, but from the moment I walked in, I was taken back to Queens for a moment. It looks, smells and feels like a pizzeria back home AND has the pizza to prove it.
Sit down with a cheese slice and a cup of coke and take it all in.

Another delicious meal at Rosario’s! MOST authentic NYC pizza in SC and NC. Cannoli’s and Italian ice were equally as wonderful. Worth the near 2 hour drive!

Great place! I have only ever ordered take out, which is fast and easy. They have delicious pizza– great portion sizes and well priced.
My family always orders one cheese and one pepperoni pizza. Pep is my favorite! So good for a cheat night when all you want is a really cheesy, thin slice of pizza! It is also a crowd pleaser for big groups.

Food: I am from NY, and this is authentic New York Pizza. It is delicious, the crust is amazing, the amount of cheese is just right, and the pizza reheats extremely well. They have a good selection of Italian desserts. Cannoli’s, generous slices of Cheesecake. They also have those yummy Italian Ices.
Service: They do offer delivery, but I usually call my pie in and pick it up. It’s always ready EXACTLY on time, and they honor all specials and coupons. The staff is friendly and the owner is good with faces or either he treats everyone like he knows them. Either way, YAY!
Prices: They offer single slices so you don’t have to commit to an entire pie. They have an early week special. Either Monday or Tuesday you can get a few dollars off a large pie. I’d eat there more if the prices were more competitive.
Ambience: This is a very family friendly, casual place. I see a lot of people gathering here with lots of children, so if you’re looking for an out of the way quiet «restaurant,» this is not it. The tables, floor and bathroom is always kept clean. There is always plenty of parking in a well lit parking lot.

The Goods: Pizza here has been good in the past. The Sicilian is a bit greasy, but a cost effective choice for a family of 4 or 5. Slices that stand out are the Caprese, and the Grandma Pie (an excellent option for someone who loves sauce).
The Service: I have been in the Afton Ridge neighborhood for the last 20 years. The service has always been sub-​par. As other Unilocal reviews here will say, the service at the counter can seem like they don’t even want you here. Either that, or they do not want to be there. This was normally not an issue for me since I would often order delivery. Their normal evening delivery guy always seemed like he put more effort into service (would often be the one answering the phone, and remembered frequent customer’s names by voice!), however as of Sep 1^st, they no longer offer delivery. Sorry, but if I wanted OK food with no expectations of customer appreciation, I would have gone to the Waffle House.

I’m a pizza aficionado… the only place I haven’t eaten pizza is italy/​sicily. With that being said this ranks in my top 3 pizza pies in North Carolina… the crust is PERFECT! The toppings are fresh as if they were grown picked cured or curdled this morning!!! The service is friendly, prompt, & the atmosphere is vintage NY pizza. I will be back here… VERY SOON!

I popped in here hoping to pick up a specific Italian pastry. To avoid it showing in search results, I won’t name it here as they no longer have these wonderful treats. But that’s okay! They have other great stuff!
The counter of pizza-​by-​the-​slice ranges from plain cheese and plain pepperoni to Sicilian, pepperoni and mushroom, eggplant, meat lovers and more. I chose a simple slice of Caprese — sliced mozzarella (not shredded), red peppers, and fresh basil. When the guy brought it to my table a few minutes later, the smell was heavenly. And the taste was better. A *perfect* slice.
Is it New York style? Not quite. But that doesn’t make it bad!
Soda fountain or some bottled beverages available. Plenty of parking.
