didn't let me order a kids meal, so I ordered something twice the price. like is it hard to let someone eat portion they are actually going to finish. Okay food for what I HAD to order PLUS there was a hair in my food, not ok. They took the charge off for the meal but charged for the free salad that comes with it. read more

Great night out with some good food. Very clean and friendly great customer service. They also have pizza which I ordered to go for the kids read more

This is a MUST!! My husband's childhood pizza place! Being from the PNW there is not a real Italian food presence so I could not wait! The lasagna , pizza and grinders were amazing! I'm so glad they didn't let MGM buy them out! It wouldn't be the same without them. They bring the heart of the area! read more

Excellent Italian food! We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and came to Red Rose on three different occasions. Our waitress Michelle was fantastic! All pizza, pasta and salad options were delicious and made fresh daily - including their cannolis. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Springfield area! read more

Pizza was mediocre, with a sauce with heavy Italian seasoning dominating the flavor. The pizza was very thick and we were full after a few slices. In addition to the so-and-so food service was horrible. The waitress failed to advise us on how much to order, despite our inquiries and we ended up wasting a complete pie. If quantity is what matter to you, this might be the place otherwise I would not recommend read more

Always delicious food and drinks! Service is always great! Atmosphere is pleasant! Always a full house!

We had the best food here! Ordered antipasto salad, pizza and shrimp Alfredo. The Alfredo was amazing. The rest was awesome! What can I say!! Our waitress was super nice. Wished we lived closer so we could come back more often! read more

Red Rose is a local staple but I don't know why. Kitchen is openly viewed through the window from the sidewalk. There were no gloves being worn. I won't go back. Never was a big fan as the food is drowning in sauce. There are few restaurants that rival genuine Italian eateries. Red Rose is not one of them. read more

Italian spot, known for their pizza, with massive portions and a massive following I came on a Sunday around 5 PM and still had to wait for a table The restaurant is split into 2 sections, one section with a bar and high-tops, and the other section with a grand dining hall which serves as more of the restaurant side. I split a small pizza with my date and we couldn't even finish it. The pizza was fine, but nothing special. 7 read more

We had a group of 11 coworkers eat at Red Rose a few days ago. Food was excellent (as always) including my chicken parm sub and the shared salad bowls at the tables. We had Stephanie as our waitress. I worked in the restaurant industry for years and have been a customer at many restaurants for many more years. I have literally never seen such an amazing waitress as Stephanie. She was the most organized, fastest, most pleasant wait person I've remember at any restaurant. Red Rose was very busy and she had many tables but was still directing and mentoring other wait staff - definitely a leader of her peers. Before I left, I pulled her aside to let her known. Don't forget to tell excellent people that you run across how much you appreciate their excellence! read more

At noon on a Wednesday the cavernous room is bustling with well-fed diners. We just wanted pizza, which was tasty -- so turned back the giant basket of bread and butter. Most tables featured pink lemonade, very festive. Noise level is high, which explains why we could hear folks at the next table. The pie came quickly and of course we took home a few slices. You can watch the kitchen cranking out pies and red sauce dishes. The bar area seemed quieter, would try it another time. It definitely feels like a local hangout and we're glad we made the scene. read more

Yes, the MGM Casino has multiple choices for eating on site, with everything from a steakhouse and a pizza counter to its South End Market with separate businesses offering choices of diner food, or Asian noodles, or wine & cheese, or gelato & espresso, or lobster rolls, or grilled meats and vegetables. But right outside on Main Street there is also a wide selection of restaurants within walking distance offering Italian, Mediterranean, German, Indian, Greek, Puerto Rican, Nuevo Latino, Korean and more. Certainly, we could have been more adventurous, but for this trip my wife was set on trying a place noted for its pizza. Red Rose Pizzeria is located across the street from MGM, run by a brother and sister serving pies, salads and other Neapolitan fare. Starting in 1963 as a 15-seat pizzeria it has expanded four times so that it now seats up to 400 diners beneath its chandelier adorned ceiling. But don't worry about dressing up, it's very casual. It also operates like a well oiled machine. I lost count of servers at about 15, and then there were all the bussers who swooped down on the tables as customers left, clearing and cleaning them, quickly followed by staff dedicated to place setting arrangements, and almost immediately followed by the host guiding the next set of waiting diners to their table. Our wait for a table on a Saturday at 4:45 without a reservation was projected to be only 15 minutes. We sauntered off to the bar with our buzzer notification device and ordered pints of Sierra Nevada IPA and Fat Tire Amber Ale ($5.75 each). Almost exactly 15 minutes later the buzzer went off. Pizzas come in four sizes - small (8 slices), medium (14 slices), large (20 slices), and party size (28 slices). I actually saw a party size pepperoni pizza at a table for six next to us, and it was a huge elliptical pie that still had leftovers being shared by the diners at that table. We decided we would try one of the Specialty Pizzas as an appetizer since they came in either 10" or 16" sizes. Our 10" Primavera ($12.99) had only 6 slices with broccoli, eggplant, black olives, ricotta cheese, herbs, and marinara sauce as toppings. The crust on our pizza did not show as much char along the edges as some that I saw served at other tables, but it was a very tasty dough with enough support to hold all those toppings without being overly thick. One note for the fussy pizza connoisseur, they do use cornmeal on the bottom. I don't want to overlook telling you how fresh and tasty the eggplant was on this pizza. We couldn't notice the flavor of the marinara however, since all the other flavors overpowered a thin layer of sauce. Because we were also ordering entrées, we were served a basket of fresh Italian bread. I don't know if they make it in-house, but initially I was not impressed. It seemed to lack flavor. We were also served tossed salads before our entrées arrived. The romaine was fresh and the only choice for dressing is Italian. And what a delicious dressing it is. Now was the time for the bread to take center stage - dipping it into the dressing and you could be persuaded to make a meal of bread and dressing. My wife ordered the Sausage Cacciatore ($18.99) with a side of penne. The penne were overcooked and the sausage was lacking in fennel flavor. The menu says they use fresh mushrooms but my wife believes they were canned mushrooms. My entrée was their Veal Parmigiana ($20.99). The veal was very tender, had a flavorful breading, and was nice and crispy where it was not covered with sauce. I will say that the amount of melted cheese on top was greater than I would have preferred. Once again, that Italian bread came out to take a final bow. Dipping it into my tomato sauce and I would have cleared the plate of sauce had I not been taking half of my entrée home. I do want to also point out a small glitch in that well oiled machine that I described above. Right after I took the first taste of my entrée, two servers came rushing to our table to tell me that the dinner in front of me was Chicken Parmigiana and not veal. They asked if I still wanted veal and I replied in the affirmative. Three or four minutes later the correct entrée arrived. read more

Unexpectedly Red Rose is a well lit "fast food" disappointment. Underwhelmed by the service well our server . This was a place we looked forward to visiting. Upon arrival the bright lights ruined the potential ambience. So ok to move along I was so excited to try the famous dishes we drove 100 miles for this and wanted a glimpse of what Rita snd her brothers family brought to us from Italy. We ordered 2 large pizzas" one to go and the veal salad pasta red sauce. First off the waitress was seasoned in self serving. She had made this experience annoying. This place has so many employees you think we could get "water". No didn't happen. 3 times a charm. No water. Ok She came to take the order 2 times while we asked she waited until the other guests had sat. No water. Omg ! Seriously. I ordered a 2 drinks one was wrong . We addressed this and it was not corrected water please. Nope. We finally got our order in. Wow salad looked like leftovers. Bread came 10 min after the salad. Half the party then got their entrees veal parmigiana . Ummm yeah sauce poured on wet pasta not cool. Veal chewy. The pizza then arrived.. still water please. We got one glass oh no really???! Pizza had potential but unfortunately was a soggy mess and had been burned something I'm guessing cornmeal or something ruined the taste This place is a don't go out of your way . They definitely were overstaffed . The attention to detail was gone. Customer service is a dp it yourself and watched the 20 extra staff show you that there's no managing the floor. The waitress even asked us for an extra tip. Typically gratitude yes !! Not at this place. And the paper placemats dirty flatware . This is sadly a skip. read more

Pizza and Salad was our order , Service was very good. the Ambiance was noisy and crowded. Prices doubled since I was there last in 2016. Pizza was good not WOW, Salad was average with their own dressing. my only complaint was the sausage on the pizza didn't taste right, I picked off pizza and gave it to server and told the pizza maker to taste. I heard another patron complained also. . I notified our server and they made us another pizza without sausage. read more

I think this place deserves 3.5 stars but I will round down to a 3-star because this is strictly based on the pizza. We were a bit indecisive about which pizza to get so we got a 10" primavera and a small pizza with 1/2 mushroom and ham and 1/2 eggplant. The primavera pie had a lot of toppings, but we weren't too blown away. The olives were out of a can and the broccoli was probably frozen. The ricotta made for a nice addition and the crust was nice, but overall it was lacking some love. The eggplant on the small pizza also needed some love and was lacking a bit. The ham, however was absolutely delicious! It really made that other 1/2 shine, because there wasn't much to the mushrooms either. The service was AMAZING, and pushed up the rating a bit. Jillian really explained the menu well and was prompt with drinks and was always in the area. Why they didn't get 5-stars: The ingredients on the pizza need more love. If they seasoned some of the vegetables to taste like that ham, this place would be top-notch. The crusts are good, so the ingredients should follow. read more

Red Rose - A pint before dinner! - Pizza Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

We stopped in for an early dinner on Juneteenth. I ordered the Italian Marinated Chicken Breast- with mushroom sauce and penne with marinara sauce dinner....It was one of the best meals I have ever been served. The place was not as busy around 5 pm- it is generally pretty packed for good reason and can be on the loud side, but the food makes it all worth while. Our waitress was prompt with taking our order and delivering bread and drinks. The food came out in no time at all. We have been there for pizza which Is always delicious and fun to watch thru the window if we happen to have a wait. The staff are courteous and work so fluidly with each other- in such a busy atmosphere- the door to the kitchen is always swinging! We drove down from Keene and it was every bit worth it. I look forward to coming back at least once a month. The prices are fair- the quality of the food is beyond compare and the staff are welcoming and tuned in to your every need, If I could give more stars- I sure would! read more

This place is incredible. It was slow, but I'll be back to wait again. That's the only thing that kept it from being a 5-star review. Slow service and Kitchen. I'd have drank 3 more drinks if the service were quicker. read more

We have been there several times and the food is always great..we always sit at the bar and the last two times over last three weeks service is poor at best...the last time today were quick on drinks and then we waited at least 20 mins for the young bar tender to stop socializing with customers and staff..I had to walk over and ask if we could order..three weeks earlier we waited 20 minutes and needed a local to ask the same bar tender to get us drinks..we then eventually ordered and it was forever to get the food...the food is so great thus will not discourage us from future visit but service at the bar needs to be equal for locals and those of us who travel a half hour to eat there. read more

Pizza to go. Lasagna and salad for dine in. Another spot in which I am predictable. I may be bias as I have been going here for 30-40 years. However, the ingredients are still fresh and tasty. Eat in or take out no disappointment. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, I'm sure it started earlier but I seem to remember having my 8th birthday party here, so over 40 yrs I've been a customer. I moved out of state and was visiting with my sisters for a family event and we stopped in. There is a dedicated parking lot behind it which is necessary being so close to the casino. We had the sampler app and split a small pizza. What can I say? So good. Nothing like a Red Rose pizza to make you home sick. It took a while to get a table, but this spot is super popular, so we weren't surprised. This spot is no frills. They have a bar but it really its a family spot. Families and friends gather here for some good food at reasonable prices. I wish I were closer to visit more often. read more

Place is usually great but we learn don't go on Sundays!! Turns out they are closed on Mondays and Tuesday so they run out of a lot of stuff. They don't bring bread unless u asked and then it only came out with 1 piece a person . Then they ran out of spaghetti (how does a place run out of spaghetti) And after settling for lasagna because they ran out clams , the lasagna was terrible very little noodles most meat sauce and cheese...more like chile read more

This is my first time here at this restaurant and it was okay. I came to really pick up a pizza and ended up having an an appetiser and a glass of wine at the bar. The appetiser we got The ladder sampler platter with calamari fried mozzarella and chicken tenders. Well all I can say the chicken tenders way too much batter and the food was extremely salty. The calamari was not good - don't order it. it wasn't rubbery but it is forgettable. The Mozzarella batter was too thick and I'm not sure if it was fresh or not. The wine that was recommended was actually very good. I ordered the pizza to go so we'll see what a nice quaint place that's near MGM and my brother recommended that I try it so I did not sure if I'll come back though. The waitress at the bar was extremely nice very pleasant and poured me a really nice glass of wine. read more

Cool atmosphere. Very old school. Clean on the inside. Nothing special. Pizza tastes very good. I agree with Barstool Dave that it's thick but crunchy. The crust is good. The sauce is tangy. Solid cheese. 7.3. read more

Pizza was great and very affordable! Red Rose salad was also delicious. We ordered a bunch of party pizzas for a team dinner.

Place was seriously happening. Walked in the joint very much so overdressed. But the beauty of it is that it can be fit for anywhere from a hot date, to a quick chew and screw , to a tee-ball banquet. Very very affordable prices. Could get away with raising them 20%. Food was great all around. Customer service was awesome. Very homey. We hope to be back! read more

Everything you would expect and want in an excellent Italian Family Restaurant. Comfortable place, colorful, hustle and bustle, people running around, glasses climking, latge ordrrs of food being served. This place had been around since the 60's and for good reason. They do it right! The meals are great. But the pizza? OMG. Perfect sauce, dough and cheese are used. Their pizzas are amazing and traditional. We make a Family tradition of having Family dinner there a few times a year instead of homemade Sunday sauce/gravy or whatever you say where you come from. Its all good try it! I give it 5 stars because for what it is, a Family Pizza and Italian restaurant they hit all the check boxes. Friendly service, affordable great food, setting etc. all the paisanos go. Definitely check it out! read more

Very busy and no refills on drinks but everything tastes great. It's a family festive atmosphere, and walking distance to casinos.

We had the pizza and house salad. So tasty! One in our group had the chicken pasta Alfredo which was just ok. Can't get enough of the house bread! It's a little noisy on busy nights which bothered my 4 yr old. Just an fyi for those with littles. Maybe go earlier before the dinner crowd hits read more
