Rosati’s Pizza

Ordered a small pizza and an appetizer for delivery. It took over an hour to get to my house (really for a small pizza?) and of course when it got there it was freezing cold.

The food here is decent. But the management is short sighted. Walked in to place my order. Looked at the menu and saw some coupons on the menu, score!
Then they say I can’t use the coupons because they want them to be used on a future visit!
That is seriously low class… here is this thing, it is a cool thing, but you are not allowed to use it.
This is my first time with a coupon issue here but I have seen them put up a fight before. They are going to chase away customers over a few dollars.
Their food cannot overcome a tacky attitude towards the customer.

.I ordered a bbq beef and onion pizza, onion, was nowhere to be found and beef was scarce! Bbq was barely there I have always thought they weigh the meat??? In this case they did not! For the $$ Not worth it! Sorry rosattis

Today I was feeling like an Italian beef, so I called up Rosati’s for a pick-​up order.
When I got there, the man working told me that they overcooked my sandwich, so he was making a whole new one, because he wanted it to be as tasty as it could be. I really appreciated that they didn’t just give me gross, overcooked food! He also gave me $ 3 off of my order and free pops since I had to wait.
Great customer service and very, very nice workers! Also my Italian beef with mozzarella cheese (The Cheef) was suuuuuper super delicious.

Extended family was in town and we didn’t feel like cooking. What could we get that everyone likes, isn’t too expensive and is close to home? Boom. Rosati’s. Ordered up baked mostaccioli, baked lasagna, salad, breadsticks and a cheese pizza.
Guy on the phone told us to ask about a calendar when we got there for 10% off the order. I show up and do just that and the owner/​manager/​boss is NOT happy. Apparently this isn’t how it works. He’s a bit rude, tells me how it’s supposed to work, but then apologizes for being rude. Probably just frustrated with his employees for getting it wrong. The fact that he recognized he was being tough made up for it, plus it made me feel like I was in an old timey Italian Chicago hole in the wall. That’s right… I kinda liked it.
Get home with the goods and my mom says, «Where’s the cheese pizza?» They forgot it. Call them back and they drive 10 miles to the house to deliver it without question.
So how in the heck does this place get 4 stars after all that?
The baked lasagna.
WOW. It’s…magical. I kept going back for more. My brother-​in-​law did the same. We both remarked on how good it was. And then it was gone. The rest? Fine. Good and hearty. But the lasagna is something special.
Something I’d endure rudeness and a forgotten pizza for. Getting it again when I go back. Yum.

If you just can’t get enough of bland food and dishes that all taste the same, then Rosati’s is your place. No bland no more.

We were craving Italian food for dinner and decided to try Rosati’s. The food arrived in good time but there was nothing fresh about it. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs dinner which came with garlic bread and salad.
The salad… whew. Honestly it looked like it came out of a bag. If I had wanted salad from Jewel with a couple of tomatoes tossed in and dressing out of a to-​go packet, I could’ve done that myself at home. Half the greens were bruised and brown.
The garlic bread looked like it had been cooked that morning and possibly reheated in the microwave; it felt soggy in the middle and tough and chewy around the edges. Flavor was alright but not enough to make up for the lack of freshness.
The spaghetti didn’t seem fresh either. What I make myself at home actually tastes better. Maybe it was just old and reheated, like the bread. The sauce was strange in that I could taste something fresh and delicious in it (spices maybe?) but the actual sauce seemed, again, old and reheated. You know when your spaghetti sauce has sat in the fridge and the water starts to separate? That’s how it was. Same with the meatballs. It had potential but it just seemed stale.
I wish I were exaggerating, but that was my honest experience.

there meat balls are the best with pasta and
