Rosati’s Pizza

This could be the worst cracker with cheese on it I’ve ever had. I can’t even call this pizza! Hard crunchy not crispy bite, a crunchy snap to it… gross! Ohh and it was cut into squares and all uneven. This blew my mind! Usually when you have been flying across the country and haven’t eaten all day everything and anything would taste good at this moment. To top it all off beside the worst cracker cheese n meat I’ve ever eaten these two cracker pizzas cost us $ 50!!! Absolutely outrageous and it tasted horrendous. If all u have at home is crackers n cheese and this is the last stop besides the shell gas station for something quick save ur money and taste buds and eat the crackers you have at home I bet you anything you want it will be a better dinner than we just had from here! Our 1 year old loves pizza and she wouldn’t even eat it. TERRIBLE! Pictures to follow

I have had problems with Rosati’s in the past: Really slow, forgetting the dessert part of the order, waiting 39 minutes past when they said it would be ready, and then it was the wrong pizza. So after avoiding them for probably a year and a half I thought I would try again. Once again I waited an hour and a half for them to get my order wrong! I will NEVER order from Rosati’s again. My question is: Does somebody actually run this place? Who’s the manager? I have never spoke to someone in charge. The staff always attempts to be helpful, but there has never been a decision maker on site to help out any time I have had a problem. How ever owns this joint needs to take a serious look at who is minding there store because they could certainly do a lot better.

Holy smokes heed the warnings. I will never order from here again. Not only is the pizza unimpressive but 2 hours after ordering, it was delivered… Cold. Not the first time experiencing this either.

Hello Unilocal Fans: I have been to Rosati’s Pizza (the Dynamite location) four or five times over the last year.
My husband and I have had pizza there, the Monday night crispy chicken special, and also several pasta dishes.
The restaurant has a special each day of the week and they are all different. You may want to call ahead to see what the special is on the «board» that night to try something different at a reduced rate. One night is fish and chips, one night is fried chicken, one night is lasagna, one night is ribs — you get the picture!
This is a casual bar/​pizza joint. No need to get dressed up.
There are several TVs in the restaurant so if you are a sports fan you can sit anywhere and still see the game.
The pizzas were all nicely done — including the ingredients in the center. One of my pet peeves is to have a pizza served to me and the outside four inches of the pizza is nicely cooked with a brown crust, only to have the center ingredients of the pizza be lukewarm with a soggy crust. Tell the waitress to ask the cook/​chef to leave the pizza in for one extra minute to get everything done perfect!
They will make the pizza how you want it, so if your favorite combination is not on the menu, just ask. This is not a gourmet pizza bar with fancy fresh herbs and these type of ingredients. These are basic pizza ingredients. So, if you are looking for a Forge Pizza, then you should go to Forge. Rosati’s is a local restaurant with decent food at decent prices — not a fancy pizza ingredient restaurant.
The pasta dishes are good, but our favorite is the baked penne pasta with marinara sauce. The sauce is just right and the three cheeses in the baked penne are proportioned nicely (not too much of any one kind).
Note: If you have a group of three or more you may want to get their family size entrée. It indicates on the menu it serves 3 – 4 but really you could serve 5 – 6 people with it. The family size pasta pans also include four bread garlic sticks for the price. So, as an example, split four ways one of the family size pasta pans is only about $ 6.00 per person with plenty of food.
Be sure to ask for cheese to be put on the top of the baked family size pasta pan for a nice touch (otherwise it is served without it). It will then be delivered with the cheese nicely melted on top of the pan.
We have ordered the pasta several times and it has always been cooked nicely. Not necessarily al dente, but never overcooked.
You may want to get a small pizza and a single-​serving of the baked penne pasta your first time there just to get an idea of the pizza versus pasta options.
The servers can be a little busy at times depending on when you go, and there are usually only one or two, so you may have to be a bit patient, but they do try hard.
Enjoy!

The other night I went here with the family at 7PM. 90 minutes later, we received the wrong pizza. I complained to a self absorbed, preening, 20-​something who claimed she was the manager (who actually wasn’t), and she could not have cared less. I then got a lecture from the waitress that replaced our original server, who quit and walked out in the middle of dinner in disgust, telling me that I should complain to the real manager, who wasn’t there. I have managed my own businesses for 38 years, and I can’t tell you how excited I was to be lectured by an 18 year old.
This place is pathetic. According to another server, the owner doesn’t care either. If you eat here, you are wasting your money on an expensive, inconsistent meal, delivered to your table after you starve waiting. Two days later, I ordered a pizza from Dominos for delivery at my house. It was great, came in 28 minutes, and cost ¹⁄₃^rd the price of Rosati’s!

Food is great, staff is nice, recommend pickup only. Almost 2 hours for delivery is absurd.

The food is fairly decent here, and it’s pretty much the only restaurant within 5 miles of its location. Their grinders and sandwiches are good, the salads are not so great, and the pizza is average/​above average. The reason this place doesn’t get another star is the price. You may do a double take when you see how much they charge for what you get. $ 10 for a tiny side salad you can get for a buck at Wendys. Pizzas are $ 25+ (for a large), and 6 inch sandwiches are roughly 10 bucks. I know the rent in this area is high, so maybe it’s not the fault of the restaurant that they charge so much, but as a value-​driven consumer, I find it really hard to bite the bullet and eat here.

I’ve eaten here now twice, and I’m sorry to say I wouldn’t recommend it. I ate there the first time because it is one of the only places to get food near Doc Cavalliere park. We ordered a pizza. It took forever and it wasn’t very good.
The second time, I only went back because, again, we were at the park and my kids were really hungry. I quickly bought a groupon because I didn’t want to pay full price for not very good food. We ordered 2 slices of pizza with a drink, the chopped salad, the hot dog kids meal, and the Italian beef sandwich. The total would have been $ 31 without the groupon. It took us 25 minutes to get our food. Then the woman tells me she made sure they put my au jus on the side for my sandwich. I reminded her that we also ordered pizza, as she had not given it to me in my order, and she added it. Seriously, she totally forgot the pizza.
Then we get to the park, and I find that the au jus she so kindly had them put on the side was non-​existent. The sandwich was not good. My daughter threw the other half for me in the desert for the critters to eat up. Maybe it would have been better with the elusive au jus.
My little girl’s kids meal, which contained a small hot dog, some fries, and a tiny fountain drink was $ 5.99. Rip off.
The salad was okay, but the ranch they serve there is soybean oil based, and I hate soybean oil based ranch dressing. Is it really that hard to mix it yourself at your restaurant? Most restaurants do now. Also, they gave us one fork for three people, so we had to take turns with it. Why even bother putting one fork in? I guess they figured only one person was going to be eating the salad, but still.
Again, the pizza was meh, and my daughter only ate one slice. The other slice was for the critters and birds.
Rosati, you should get yourself together. I won’t eat here again even with a groupon. It’s not even worth the discounted price.

Is there a zero star rating? I guess not– if there was– this place would be it. These guys are a block from our house– we ordered take out once about six months ago– the pizza was horrible. Tonight we thought we’d try it again— NEVER AGAIN. Ordered a Caesar salad that was so warm the cheese was melting– ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo– absolutely bland and just plain bad. Their service for take out is horrendous. We will never eat in to see if it’s better because the food is just gross– once maybe a bad night– twice– run away… I’m shocked you guys are in business in Troon north. My first alarm was the pizza, pasta, gyros, sandwiches, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and much much more– I suggest you focus on a few items to make them great– not 100 items that are below bad…

WARNING BAD PIZZA! This is an Olive Alert bad pizza has been reported in your area. If you see a building with the name Rosati’s please open your Unilocal and avoid. The food in a word. Disgusting. The sauce honesty tasted like acidic vomit. The toppings were of the lowest quality my imagination can accept. We ordered a thin crust from the menu, garlic bread and 2 deserts. I threw it all away… the deserts are a joke and disgusting. Please management. Pay attention to this place. There is no excuse for the food you served me yesterday. I had to go out to eat after we got takeout from you. How can you allow this? How can you be employed as a manager and do absolutely nothing to run your business. Respond to this message and I will help you out. I live 3 blocks away.

I am a fan of Rosati’s. I have been to several locations in the valley. This location will be one that I don’t return to. I bought a Groupon specific to this location, that’s how I ended up here. They don’t have the same specials at this location that they have at 3 other locations. I was like really? Ya’ll are gonna charge me almost $ 10 for a sandwich with no drink or fries when the other locations don’t? I usually order the italian beef that comes with fries and a drink for under $ 10. The charged me 50 cent for cheese and another 50 cent for the pickled veggies. They didn’t have the wine that was listed on the menu. That wasn’t a problem until I asked for wine and they told me to refer to the menu. Why don’t ya’ll tell me what u do have since it’s turned into a guessing game? Supposedly it was Happy Hour but not for wine? The pizza was good though. Good luck! The owners at this location seemed fickled and cheap. I won’t be back.

This is a pretty good pizza place to sit down with a family or a group of friends and even have a beer. They have several TVs if you wanted to watch some sports as well.
The plus is they offer free wifi!

Absolutely disgusting. We had a big order ($ 138.00).
Extra large customized pizza — So soggy and greasy that you couldn’t feel the difference between the cheese and the crust. It was slop and just fell apart through your fingers when picking it up.
Mild chicken wings — I’ve never seen wings like this. They were grayish/​black inside and tasted rotten (the meat looked like the inside fat of a salmon). It was so tough, it was like gnawing on beef jerky. We spit out the first bites and threw everything in the trash.
Jalapeño poppers — So greasy that by just picking one up in your fingers, grease would stream out all over your shirt.
‘Breaded’ mushrooms — the breading was not fully cooked. It was more like ½ fried dough mushrooms.
Cannoli’s (we were hoping we could at least enjoy these) — the filling tasted like tubed frosting you would get in the discount baking isle at the grocery store. Just ‘buttery sugar’.
They were late (1−½ hours — I live .69 of a mile away.
We ordered 6 liters of Dr. Pepper and got 1 liter of Dr. Pepper and 5 liters of Coke.
The delivery boy actually asked for the tip before he even set the food down on the counter. He said; «it says you’re going to tip in cash, right?» Just a reminder to this younger generation — a tip is VOLUNTARY. It’s not a requirement and should never be asked for. I did go ahead and tip him because he was young, but it really bothered me how he asked for it before even setting everything down (and having me sign).
Lesson learned. I will never eat from this place again.

Visitor here. Ordered pizza to go. Took a while to get. Back at the hotel, we popped it back in the oven. Pretty good. Good amount of toppings. Tons of cheese. We are from the midwest… a good pizza. Seems like lots of regulars in the restaurant, food looked really good.

Mmm Mmm Mmmmmmmmm!!! It’s only 25 $ for a one topping l, 18 inch Chicago Style pizza. It is definitely good for the price and it’s a good chain here in the Scottsdale area.

Terrible service. We waited 15 minutes to just get drinks. It felt like summer in there it was so hot. The place has no background music and so you can hear everybody else’s conversations. I can see why they offer Groupons because who would come here otherwise.
The pizza tasted okay but the experience was altogether horrible.

Very bad puzza. Note spelling. Asked for NO GREEN PEPPERS after a long wait here comes the puzza. Green peppers all over it. Answer… that’s how it comes. Tried to pick off but still tasted like papers anyway. Meat was poor quality and cheese was old. Will never go back. Junk puzza

The service was very good. The waitress was attentive. The Caesar salad was very good, and the kitchen split the salad 3 ways for the party. The pizza sauce and cheese were good, however, the crust on the thin crust pizza was ok. After living near Chicago for 8 years, I have grown to appreciate good crust found in some of the non-​chain family pizza restaurants. The crust was a little thicker and harder than I like it. We did leave without any leftovers.

The food is quality but the staff is either UN — trained or incompetent. They seem to consistently forget items in delivery orders, which has resulted on multiple occasions in a ruined dinner. For example, how do u eat fried zucchini and mushrooms without ranch dressing? This should be a crime! And, even when we called back requesting ranch dressing (this in addition to some missing salads), they still forgot the ranch! Makes you feel a little taken advantage of to pay (and tip people) for services and items that you never receive. The owner is never around, the staff are clueless without him, and no one seems to care about you as a customer or your money!!!
2 stars, but ONLY because of the service

Food was great, we had buffalo wings, chicken tenders, a large deep dish pizza and a couple orders of ravioli.
Service was not so great. VERY SLOW. We weren’t sure if this was a self seating restaurant and the busser just walked passed us avoiding eye contact, so we sat down. Server greeted us right away but then drinks took about 15 min and they were only waters and iced tea. Food took as long as expected, 40 min wait for a deep dish (extra baking time we were warned about when ordered). However, once we were done eating our server didn’t come back from behind the bar, she turned off the open sign 7 min before 9pm which is their closing time, which required her to pass our table and she never stopped to check if we were ready for boxes or dessert. The busser that ignored us earlier suddenly started to help us, offered us boxes and then we Waited for the bill, we waited for them to pick up the bill, we waited for it to be processed. Service was just too slow.
