Queens pizza = a lot better than Suffolk County Yes, it's true. Always have been, Always will. Don't know why. Is it really the water? Or is that an old wives tale? Pizza here is very good. I'm not surprised, as soon as I walked in, me eyes told me it was gonna be very good. The eyes never lie.... Great pizza, period! read more

Great Sicilian pies! Truly what makes this place standout amongst the rest! On the Sicilian's the cheese is underneath the sauce just like L&B Spumoni gardens. Look out Spumoni! Rosa's is much closer without all the hype, but just as good! They have a huge selection of slices with various toppings and even rice balls. But read all the reviews here, the Sicilian's are the way to go! read more

Rosa's Pizza - Sicilian pie with onion! - Pizza Near Me - Maspeth, New York

Fantastic pizza every time. Best specialty slices in New York. I highly recommend the vodka slice, they also have some top notch mozzarella sticks and pretty fairly priced pasta dishes read more

Omg I used to come here when I was in junior high school. Yeah that's around 20 years ago... When it was the girls' turn to have lunch outside, we'd all rush to Rosa's before all the tables were taken. I remember it being pretty good, but who didn't like pizza when they were a kid?? I was a really picky eater... If I'm ever in the area (I doubt it), I'd go back and get a slice. =D read more

Went into Rosas off of Grand Ave. I no longer live in New York but been coming here on and off for 30 years. Place is cleaner and more courteous to customers since they got there recent A rating. The pizza was excellent. My daughter (in photo) and I shared a plate of Spaghetti marinara. It was also good with very tasty sauce. Then the check came and it was a pleasant surprise and less then we thought. Personally we both think Rosa's food is better then we had in Rome and Rome has good food also. They want you to use table service if you order anything other then pizza and calzone that's not on the line. Service is good and gives the waitress a chance to make some tip money. read more

Rosa's Pizza - Spaghetti with marinara sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Maspeth, New York

Always a great slice! So many good choices and open late. The eggplant slice is amazing!!!

You know every time I go to Rosa's it has been something else. Whenever me and my bf order something the experience is just horrible. They don't acknowledge you and when they do it is definitely with an attitude. Mind you, he is Latino and the workers are mostly Latinos so what the heck..?! The discrimination is just apparent and mind blowing. SHAME on ROSA's. 1 star for you. read more

The pizza are good, but the staff always get my phone orders wrong. They've missed the mark 100% of the time.

I'm not going to tell you that this is the best pizza in NYC, but this is some of the best pizza I've had in NYC. Their plain slice is beautiful; it may look like a regular amount of cheese on top, but it's thick and stretchy. It does the cheese thing where you pull one slice out of the pie and the cheese stretches without stealing the cheese from other slices. So far I haven't been disappointed by a single specialty slice, and I've had a few. I'd pick this place over all those new, hipster, "creative," pizzerias any day. read more

Have eaten there more than a half dozen times. This pizza is a wonderful neighborhood pizza. Not quite among the best in the city but just a little below the level of absolute greatness. I am sure that you will be satisfied with every aspect of their pizza. All fresh and the price of $15.50 for a regular pie is a bit below the pizza greats such as DiFara and John's on Bleeker Street. Our pizza was made exactly as we ordered and we loved it. My wife had a beer with her pizza. We also saw a small selection of wine available. This place has a large menu, but have only eaten the pizza there so far. read more

Rosa's is a staple for Maspeth and Middle Village kids. It's close to the highway but difficult to get to on public transportation. Closest is the bus. Grandma slice is pretty good. I've gotten the cesar salad slice a few times and for some reason it always makes my stomach turn :-( I don't not like Roas's but I much prefer either Joey's Pizza somewhat across the street. There is ample setting in this location and there are a few Rosa's pizza, another on Metro in Middle Village and one in Ridgewood/Glendale area. read more

For Queens pizza, not bad! Not my favorite, but they do have some interesting ones - chicken francese, ravioli and more. I live in Brooklyn and my boyfriend lives in Queens. So of course L&B Spumoni Gardens (Brooklyn) has my heart. He told me about this spot and I had to try it out when I heard that they have a similar Sicilian slice (melting the cheese on the bottom and topping it with the sauce). The Verdict - eh. I'm not too big a fan of the sauce here and the crust was too crunchy for me. Like pretty much burnt crunchy. HOWEVER, their other slices were alright! The chicken francese came with a lot of chicken and some sauce on top. I wish it were a bit more lemony, but the flavors are there and this heavy pizza doesn't fall apart as you try to eat it. We also had the ravioli pizza! I've never seen it anywhere else. There could have been a bit more sauce and the bottom could have been crispier, but the ravioli was on point! I would also recommend their rice balls. They are monster sized and are filled with cheese and more. read more

*please read my previous reviews now since this is an update* As the years go by, I notice I'm growing more bitter, more hateful, and turning into a dramaKING™. Every man has his breaking point and I think I've reached mine today... This review is dedicated to the following because...I HATE YOU!!!: 1. Gabby from Midtown: you think you're all that!!! But you don't have anything special at all! 2. Jade from Flushing: you can't cook! That dinner you made for me in May was such a waste of time. I could have been home watching 60 Minutes. 3. Suki from Woodside: you don't understand my needs! I remember that Friday night in July where you made me and my friends wait so long for dinner. 4. Lena from Midtown: The two times we met up for lunch last month were so uneventful. I don't understand the mixed signals/messages you're trying to send. I don't need to put up wit this crap anymore because I deserve to be treated right. Not sometimes...Not half the time......We're talking EVERY TIME! This is how it's gonna be from now on.....ME FIRST! ME ME ME.... When I roll up to Rosa's, I know I won't be disappointed or stressed out by nonsense. I like it this way and I'm not gonna change my mind. So don't expect me to meet up anymore because you're in the past and I'm all about the future.... P.S. - I stopped by Rosa's today and there was a nice pie waiting for me: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/02sUerL13Wt4Ii2-kDzlow?select=4Ff9RCD2wBgUoJZGVArfMA ----------------------------------------------------------------- Footnotes: 1.

What can I say. Always good. Very consistent. Been going there forever and nothing quality wise has changed. Out of the pizza selection my go to is their Sicilian which has sauce over the cheese. (Corner of course) By the way if you ever feel adventurous and want to make your own pizza they sell their dough for a very reasonable price read more

STOP READING REVIEWS AND GO!! Amazing food and staff. This place deserves a solid 5 stars. Pricing affordabe on all dishes. Everything I've eaten here over the pass year living in maspeth was delicious! Go go go. read more

AMAZING PIZZA! Absolutely love all of their slices but the Margherita and Sicilian cannot be missed. Really quick easy service with lots of street parking makes this a very convenient location that's very accessible. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Rosa's in Maspeth is a GREAT place! It's a neighborhood fixture. I worked for 11 years in Maspeth, after spending 20 years in the South Bronx. I grew up Staten Island, another place filled with awesome family style restaurants. Honestly, outside of Arthur Avenue, Rosa's is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants around. Their Margherita Pizza is incredible. Just as delicious are their Paninis. My favorite is their chicken parm Panini, made on their own homemade bread! I'm retired from the FDNY now, but every time I go back to Maspeth, I never miss the chance to bring back a couple of Paninis....and a Margherita Pie. I couldn't recommend Rosa's of Maspeth highly enough! read more

My dad will only eat pizza from here. We live in Brooklyn and he will drive all the way to Queens just for the pizza. My dad insists it's better than L&B and is constantly getting friends on the bandwagon. Not only do I agree the pizza is the best but the prices are just as good!! read more

The best pizza around. A little pricy, buy worth it. Their sauce is authentic and out of this world read more

Rosa's Pizza - Valentine's day pepperoni pizza, yum! - Pizza Near Me - Maspeth, New York

I had the grandma slice it left me with acid reflux and indigestion definitly not as good as i thoight it would be

An easy place to get a slice of pizza. Quality is always good. Friendly staff. Everything here is a plus all around.

This place used to be my go to. But I feel like it kind of fell off for the pasta. The pizza is still good.

I've been a frequent flyer at this Rosa's location for the past 17 years since I went to middle school in St. Adalbert's. This is the only pizzeria I'll go to and for good reason. The quality of their food has always remained great with the passing of time. Staff has always been very accommodating and Charlie (the owner) has always been pleasant to chat with. The friendliest neighborhood pizzeria I've stepped foot in thus far. They are most well known for their upside down Sicilian slice. However, the eggplant slice and grandma slice are worthy of a mention. They also have the best garlic knots I've ever come across in pizzerias in queens and it's worth every inch you will gain in the waist. I mean, nobody comes to a pizzeria to come and eat healthy, am I right? Come by and grab a slice. I promise you won't regret it! They are also open on late night and everything is always fresh. read more

The pizza is amazing. But I order two slices of pizza from a guy with a green hat and waited 15 minutes mean while everyone behind me got there pizza before me . I had to ask where my slices were and he didn't even knowledge me guess cuz I'm gay he didn't give a shit. Never had a problem here until this guy . Very disrespected. read more

I love Rosa's Pizza. I have been coming to Rosa's for years. I first came when I was a teenager many years ago and Rosa's was on the corner of Grand Avenue & 69th Street. Now they have moved to a better and bigger location but the quality is always the same. The only problem is that they only take cash payment. If you don't know this be ready to run to the ATM. Grilled Chicken Caesar Pie is so worth the drive to Rosa's. read more

Not my favorite Rosa's location, but when you have a hankering for delicious Sicilian pizza, and you're in Maspeth, closer to 69th St. than to Fresh Pond Road, this is the place to go. They lose one star for the gross bathrooms, but the pizza is amazing. read more

Just a great slice joint, maybe the best in Queens! The Sicilian slices are perfectly sauced, and have a crunchy, chewy crust. The onions on the Sfincione are delicious. And the plain slice has what other places would call (and charge extra for) 'extra cheese' - stringy, gooey, and pretty much awesome... There are a wide assortment of specialty pies served by the slice, and a large seating area, as well a big, waitress staffed, dining area for those who want a more civilized dining experience...not me, of course, but I'm sure that some of you out there are interested in that sort of thing. All in all, Rosa's is a great find. I'll be back soon. read more

Because we tarred the food after we brought the food home something was already wrong. The reason for getting pizza my wives Caesar slice was not in the box. Wife wad upset for rest of the dinner. But everything tasted good the... White slice, chicken and mushroom, pepperoni, sausage roll, garlic nots, Abs the mushroom and olive slice. They had a long line biggest I seen in a pizzeria in a while. But they handled it good with fast service. But because of missing that one slice I had to drop it to a for star. You need ti verify the orders as well add the customer. read more

You're not gonna get the best service or the most exquisite atmosphere, but you will get some damn good pizza. The regulars aren't anything to write home about but the Sicilian slices and the specialty slices blow any pizzeria out of the water. Anything from an eggplant slice to the chicken francese slice is worth trying. My go to is the ravioli slice because they use a pink sauce which I think is just red sauce with ricotta. People say it's vodka sauce but I've had their penne alla vodka and I believe it's two different sauces. There are so many options to choose from so I suggest you save the regular slices for when you're watching football and treat yourself to something that you can't get from your average corner pizzeria. read more

Came here with my best friend, as this was the place she used to go after school when she was a kid. Was it great? Of course it was - it's genuine New York pizza! read more

Horrible experience. We bought large cheese pie. It was not cooked, cheese and tomato sauce was sliding and falling apart. The dough was so soft not cooked. Another word very slimy just like a raw chicken skin. Inedible, disgusting!!!! $17 for cheese pie. Never come back again. read more

Been coming to this place a long time. The last year the place is always dirty with garbage on the floor and tables. Turning unto a real sh-thole!!! read more

I was unimpressed with their Grandma slice. The inner crust was chewy, but only because it was undercooked and the outer crust was not crispy enough. Their Sicilian slice was respectable though. I'd stop in for it if I found myself in Maspeth again (unlikely). read more

Rosa's Pizza - Sicilian slice - Pizza Near Me - Maspeth, New York

We love the extra cheese pizza here! Extra extra cheesy! High quality cheese! Large slice! The cheese & the sauce were so well balanced! 4 slices of extra cheese pizza & a bottle of water, all for $13.90. If you live nearby, definitely worth stopping by! If you don't live nearby, it's worth taking a trip! Highly recommended! We'll definitely go back! read more

Ate there 3x, got food poisoning 2x. Stay away. Not sanitary. Will not be coming back, there's a reason they were closed for a month with a B rating. Stay away. read more

Excellent pizza, it tastes like true New York. I had a sausage slice and they loaded it up with sliced sausage. The Sicilian square slice was full of flavor, crunchy crust, great tomatoes. The Grandma slice was really good too. One star off for a filthy, filthy bathroom. Not acceptable. read more

This Rosa's is the worse out of all of them. I recommend you take your money anywhere else where you are appreciated. We've had multiple bad experiences here but today was the last time we'll ever go back and order with them. my wife went to pick up an order which was place 20 mins before, before she left she called to confirm if the order was ready and they said yes, she gets there and waits in line to pay. Finally it's her turn to pay. while in the middle of talking with the cashier to pay for the order, a gentlemen behind her felt he was too important to wait and cut her off to pay for his order, the cashier didn't even think to tell the guy to get back on line and wait like everyone else, he was going to allow him to cut. Even took his money. My wife and the cashier got into an argument about it and finally the cashier saw he was in the wrong and took my wife first (as he should've). In the midst of paying for our order, My wife decided she wanted two regular slices on top of our order but asked for them cold so she wouldn't have to wait for them. the cashier had the nerve to tell my wife she needed to get back on the line because "he doesn't take orders, he only takes money" rude and disrespectful. We asked for the manager, who was apologetic and sorry about the situation but we assured him we will never return. Be as sorry as you want, but your staff is disrespectful and rude and they all need to be trained in customer service or be replaced for people who are. To top it all off, my wife gets home and when we go to open the bag they put the pizza in, this is how they decided was appropriate to put the pizza in the bag (see attached photo). My advice, go to Joeys, go to Patricia's, hell, even go to the Rosas on Metro and Fresh Pond but avoid this Rosas on 69th at all cost. Like i said this isn't the first time this has happened to us. We kept giving them the benefit of the doubt but not any more. You should also know they were shut down by the health department last year for being unsanitary. They failed their inspection and had to close for a few weeks. Doesn't sound like a place you should be going to eat in my opinion.. read more

Rosa's Pizza - This is how this rosas thinks it's appropriate to put your food in a to go bag... - Pizza Near Me - Maspeth, New York

This is the best neighborhood pizza joint in Queens, period. They have wacky pies that actually end up tasting great. (Ravioli, Caesar Salad slices) Their classic NY slices are fresh and the crust is perfect. And their signature sicilian square (you can ask for corners) might even be better than L&B for me in terms of the thickness of the crust. It is just a little less spongey. I'd have to try them side by side to be sure, but I don't need to schlep to Avenue U anymore when I have a hankering, that's for sure. Warning: They do phone in the spumoni though. Some people behind the counter forgot they even had it. Go a few blocks for Isabella's instead. Finally, and unfortunately they do not deliver. So I need to figure out how to strap a pie to my road bike for next time I want pizza at home. Maybe it's even worth hailing a taxi for! read more

Their rice balls are complete crap. I'm italian and my aunt has been making delicious rice balls all her life. (50yrs) that rosa's rice ball, I took one bite and tossed it. All mushy and nasty. Step up your rice ball game Rosa's read more

I don't get it :( I've tried, man have I tried. Different times, over so many years, and I just never have a good slice here. People whose reviews I follow, people whose opinion I usually agree with love it and I just don't, I feel terrible. But my slices were dry, gimme some sauce! Those hunks of sausage did nothing for me. I need moisture! I need flavor! The sauce on top slice was the most pleasing out of the 4 slices we tried, but I think this one just isn't for me. read more
