Pretty mediocre. The pizza was expensive and not very good...Crust in Carlsbad is much better. The Chicago-style hot dog was not good at all. read more

I was born and raised in Chicago and have been looking for decent thin crust Chicago-style pizza in the San Diego area for years. Rosati's has it. I live in Escondido and they are worth the 30 minute drive! read more

My very first Yelp post ever. I normally do not complain, but I must. This is My second time ordering from here. First time was okay. Ordered a thin crust pep. Today I ordered a Chicago deep dish with pep. It was tasty. Only thing is that I specifically asked for TRIPLE SAUCE. The kind lady told Me that it would be too soggy & that She wouldn't recommend it. I'm a huuuuge extra sauce kinda guy. So then I asked for 2X sauce. She still said it would be too soggy, but I insisted anyways. Having said that, My pizza was not soggy one bit because it looks like they barely added any sauce. I will give them one more chance. Hopefully they will acknowledge the fact that I Love Love Love extra sauce lol. Anyways. Thanks again & stay safe. read more

Rosati's Pizza - WHERE'S THE SAUCE???!!! - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

I went here for one of my friends going away parties. And no shame to the workers there but they gave away my food and got mine and multiple of my friends orders wrong. It was supper rushed and I know it's frustrating for them when a big group of people come in, but come on. They were rude when my friends asked what kind of drinks they serve and would quickly walking away and ignore us if we tried to ask for something. I don't think any of us were able to get a refill the whole time. They overcharged us for a lot of the items and would put on the check double items or upsize the pizza on the bill. The good was good and we all still had a good time. But no thanks to the waiters. read more

The food was good but I was surprised and disappointed when they added a $7.04 "convenience fee" onto my bill. I've never noticed that charge before and it certainly wasn't for my convenience. read more

Very average. If you give this place 5 stars then you clearly need to visit more restaurants. I ordered a Chicago style pizza with 1/2 sausage and a thin crust 1/2 pepperoni pizza for pickup. The takeout service was late to have my order ready when I arrived. Grease leaked out from the box and all over my car. My 1/2 pepperoni pizza barely had any pepperoni and worst of all it tasted like the frozen pizza you get at Vons. The Chicago style was mushy and not very good. There are much better places nearby for pizza. read more

Wow! Just Wow! We used to go to the Vista location but always had long waits to get our food (it has since closed down). We tried the Encinitas location today and it was just amazing! Wonderful waitresses (We had two? Hey I'll take it). Food came out super fast! We had the beefs and my husband said his was better than Portillos. We are from the WI/IL area so we grew up eating this food. Go! Try everything! We will be back soon with our kids for pizza! read more

Best deep dish this side of Chicago. Metal forks would be nice. Even their thin crust is good.

I had lunch at Rosati's. It was the first time that I was there. I had an excellent experience. The food was very good and the price was hard to beat. I had an $8 lunch special that included a healthy salad, tasty pasta and a soft drink. The service was good too. The waitress was pleasant and the food was served promptly. I'll go back. read more

Rosati's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

We really like the pizza here but they have VERY SERIOUS delivery problems. Not only was our pizza wrong again (for at least the 3rd time) AND more than an hour late (unfortunately, this is typical), but this "cold mess" is LITERALLY what we got. You simply can't make this stuff up. Did the delivery guy drop it? Not sure I want to know. Do yourself a favor and dine in only. read more

Rosati's Pizza - This is what Rosati's delivered to my door for $50. Thx!?! - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

We're from Chicago and Rosati's is our favorite there and here. None like it!! We visit every time we visit from the Desert. Where there is a good pizza...no where! read more

Worst Pizza ever! Very little sauce and crust was like cardboard and toppings were virtually non-existent, plus it is somewhat expensive. When I ask to speak with manager, he was nothing but arrogant. My mistake in going there. read more

We had a work party and ordered Rosartis for delivery. We ordered four pizzas, some chicken wings and garlic cheesy bread. Upon arrival, 3 of the 4 pizzas were messed up as in smushed to one side. The service here was amazing because they ended up making 3 new pizzas for us because of the mess up. Now that is awesome customer service. The pizzas tasted fantastic too. The meat lovers pizza was on point and the Rosartis pizza was super delicious too. I'm usually not a fan of green olives but with all the toppings mixed together, the pizza was super yummy. I've never had Chicago style before and I was really excited to try this. The chicken wings were crisp and well flavored. The cheesy bread was okay but they probably would of tasted better if I ate them straight out of the oven and not when I went on my lunch. Everything was really good, I def want to visit the actual restaurant because the owner said they have 30 beers on tap. Awesome pizzas, awesome service, will def order from here again!!! 3.5 Stars: came here recently and wasn't impressed with the Chicago style pizza. I'm no expert on Chicago style but I felt there was more dough than pizza ingredients. Windy City fries were good, but the portion was super small for the cost. We had to order twice just to get enough. Dough nuggets were meh, but with a yelp check in they are free!!! Will probably stick to specialty pizzas and not detour to the other items :/ read more

Such a great place to whatcha football staff is great food is awesome people meeting is so fun have made a lot of new friends come by and eat and say hello. Oh yea the beer selection My only problem is it always looks closed. They need some lights or something in the daytime just a suggestion read more

It started off well. I checked in on yelp and got a free order of dough nuggets. Wife and kids loved them. It wasn't that crowded and we were seated immediately. There is also a bar with loads of beers on tap and plenty of big screen TV's with sports playing. My wife and teenager got salads, but only because they ate the entire basket of dough nuggets and pizza would have been dough overload. I'm gluten free so I didn't try the nuggets but my kids and wife really enjoyed them. They said they were light, puffy, and very yummy with the side of marinara included. It was huge and they came out fairly quickly. My son got the Cesar salad. It looked good and my son said it was, but it was a little on the small side at $9.00. My wife's salad had to be sent back as they forgot to include the chicken it was supposed to have on it. I ordered a GF pizza which was actually fantastic. The thin crust was $11 plus $1.50 for each topping. Chicken + spinach was $14. It's a small 10" GF pizza. It was darn good but I ate the entire thing and left hungry. I've never left a pizza place hungry after eating an entire pizza. I would still go back again but there are several good pizza places with GF to choose from. My youngest son got a pasta kids meal. It was a bit too small for a 12 year old. I think it's more geared towards younger kids. However, at $6 for a half bowl of penne and a piece garlic bread, I'm not feeling it. Overall it was a good experience and I'm a fan. We will probably go again for pizza but it's not going to be a regular place in my dining out rotation as of now. Plenty of parking in the huge parking lot. Easy access, friendly service, and good pizza. read more

Delicious Chicago style pizza! Hubby and I come here often with my in-laws and we always have the best time. Rosati's has a fun and lively atmosphere. It's a great spot to catch a game. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and treats us like family. The food is fantastic and everything on the menu is great. I love both the thin crust pizza and the deep dish Chicago pizza. The calzones are fabulous as well. It's a great place to come with my husband and mother-in-law who are both gluten-free. The gluten free pizza comes in the 10 inch size. We always get an order of boneless wings (which are gluten free!) with all the sauces on the side for dipping. There's a good selection of rotating local beers on tap. There's also usually hard cider or kombucha on tap as well. They have some great lunch specials too, but we always come for dinner. Always a great time at Rosati's! read more

Excellent pizza. My husband is a pizza snob from Chicago. He loves Rosati's Pizza. He claims it's the best he's had outside of Chicago. I don't normally like the sausage on pizza, but Rosati's sausage is obviously homemade, tender and delicious. The service is also excellent. read more

This is one of our go-to, never-fail, always delicious, always happy, most favoritist places. We eat here at least twice a month, but sometimes once and twice a week. When company comes to town, we bring them here. When the kids drop in, we take them to Rosatis. My husband's birthday? He wants to go to Rosati's. You want a dog-friendly place? You can't beat Rosati's. You want a friendly, full-menu bar? Rosati's. You from the Windy City? our Chicago friends say this place is the real deal. Just go, already. First: the best part is the staff. Scott, Caitlyn and Kelly are so friendly and welcoming and we always get hugs and smiles. The rest of the staff is lovely, too, we just know those three the best. Seriously, if you come enough, everyone will know what you want to order already. Second, Rosati's has a nice selection of craft beers and other beverages. The selection of these will change but something is always available for all of us. You can sample the brew before you commit to it, too! The hubster always goes for the red wine. I like ciders and seltzers and sometimes the kombucha when they have it (bring back the kombucha!!!). One son likes the craft beers and the other son likes the GF beers. And third: the food is consistently good. The hubster is picky and won't go back to a restaurant that isn't up to his standards, and he is a die-hard fan of the Godfather Pizza. Meanwhile one of my sons and I are gluten-free; he loves the GF pizza and I like the salads. The other kiddo is also a fan of the regular pizza... ...But our FAVORITE: the bone-in wings. ALWAYS sizzling hot and tender and very tasty. Just know that the bone-in wings are Da Bomb because Rosati chefs know how to do them right.* Frankly, I hesitated to write this review because I don't want this place to get any more crowded than it is now! But that's not fair to Rosati's, so I'm finally biting the bullet. (*Attention, Gluten Free People: the boneless wings are breaded but the BONE-IN wings do not have breading. Some of the sauces may have gluten so ask for them with sauce on the side. The wings are so exceptional you do not need sauce! If you are ultra-sensitive to gluten know that they do fry all wings in the same fryer, but my son and I have never had a problem and he's more sensitive than I am.) read more

Excellent service and tasty food. Ordered meatball sub sandwich that came with a decent sized salad. Would have been nice if sandwich was a bit larger and less pricey. Would return there if I was around the Encinitas location they are in, however, I would not go out of my way to return there if not close by. read more

The food was quick and hot! Great sauce on the pie, nice thin crust. We got two orders of wings and they were meaty and tasty. My husband loves their pizza and Chicago dogs. read more

Best deep dish pizza I've ever had! My husband picked up the pizza tonight and said the restaurant was very cool. Can't wait to check it out! read more

The food here is okay. Not much more than that. Just okay. I ordered the lasagna. It was okay to mediocre. Dry and grainy inside. Not the luscious cheesy concoction we were hoping for. (My hubby is Italian and delicious food runs in his family). After reading all of the reviews raving over their marinara sauce we were disappointed to find it's just the same old sauce we can find everywhere else. Too sweet. As though someone added sugar to it. Our waitress very graciously switched my lasagna out for a salad. Not to be unkind but---even their salad dressings taste factory generated and way too sugared up. Our server is a sweet girl. Okay ambiance and good happy hour price on our beers. We did like the fact that they layered our takeaway pizza between sheets of waxed paper. Very nice touch. Free parking. Always a plus to us. Even the free "donuts" weren't worth the calories. read more

The staff here are all so nice! The place is always busy, great selection of craft beers and don't get me started on the food. Pretty damn good deep dish, well worth the wait. Like sports? They have so many TVs, you're more than likely to catch your favorite game. Great spot to have some wings and a beer while catching up with the regulars. Love this place! read more

1st time, visiting from NJ. The server was exceptional. Salad dressing was GREAT! The pizza was thin crust, very tasty. read more

Awesome place with great pizza, vibes, staff and service. And lots of beer choices. Kid friendly. What more could you ask for.

Decent Italian food. The wings suck. Pizza is good . More of a fast food restaurant feel. Decent sums them up.

Great sports bar w/ really good pizza! Rosati's has a bunch of TVs, and it has a good atmosphere for watching sports. The happy hour deals for weekdays are quite good with discounts on pints and appetizers. The pizza is awesome! I can't say that I'm a native Chicagoan, but for what it's worth, I really like their deep dish pizza. It takes a while for them to make, and it's a little costly (you pay per topping!). But I think it's worth it when coming with a large group. I'd recommend getting your deep dish with sausage and peppers! The service is always really nice, and the parking lot always has a ton of spots. Give it a try! read more

I'm updating my review. We came here tonight for the first time in forever. My friend suggested it, and I wasn't a fan, but I can walk here, so...I'm back in the saddle. Food is still great, and the service was much better. Thanks, Rosati's. I'm glad we gave you another try. read more

Road at' sis our go to family pizza place The pizza is delicious as well as the cannolis Great lunch specials also And they have both indoor and outdoor dining Also good beer list read more

So they serve a app called Bread Knots. Really good and a huge portion. They also have the best Sangria my wife and I have had in the USA.a carafe of Sangria , a order of knots and 2 side salads is a full meal. Please is more like a sports bar so it's loud but has outdoor seating when weather is permitting, which is almost always on SD. Their red sauce is yummy too. read more

We had a Yelp Elite event here some time ago, and though I appreciated the generosity with which we were welcomed, I had it on my to-do list to come visit again as a regular customer and I am so glad I did! My family and I were in the area and dropped in for some food and a beer. If you check-in on Yelp, you'll get a free basket of "dough nuggets" - which are essentially little bread pillows that taste great with the accompanied marinara sauce. We ordered the "Rosati's Monster" pizza. Wow! I have never seen so many toppings on one pizza in all my life. What have I been missing out all these years!? "Gourmet Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, bell pepper, Canadian bacon, meatball, black olives & green olives with marinated tomato and bacon on top of a thin crust with a rolled edge" Fair warning: if you order this, go hungry! Also, make sure you wash it all down with one of the many fantastic beers they have on tap: Latitude Honey Hips (my fav), Blood Orange IPA, Strongbow Cider, Port Brewing Double Red, Oskar Blues Scotch Ale (second fav). They even have "Bud Light" and "Coors Light" though I don't know what soul on Earth still drinks these...especially here in the beer mecca of the world. I'm already planning our next trip to Rosati's...just wish there was one closer to us in Oceanside. read more

Our friends got a large deep dish with peppers, sausage and cheese and a large thin crust with pepperoni and olives. Both were burnt and the deep dish had no cheese and it was a mess. It was a to go but was transported with care. The taste was decent but it just seemed thrown together. read more

Extremely overpriced crappy pizza- spent $25 on a 12" thin crust...my mistake -so salty -too much cheese -uncooked toppings Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken had MAYBE 1/2 of a small chicken breast, and overall looked tiny on the plate. Also just tasted all cream, it was sweet. Seems like more of a beer and TV spot for regulars? Plenty of other places to go in Encinitas with way better quality pizza- priced better too. read more

Darn good pizza; you can't go wrong. I get the "combo" one every time and love it. Back before Covid you could have a local IPA in there too. Cool spot. read more

We have been to Rosati's a few times, and have loved the atmosphere and beer. However, tonight we ordered a pizza ahead of time for pick up to save time. The mobile site didn't work because the interface was not responsive (didn't scale). It worked on the laptop just fine. After I paid, they provided an estimate for pickup. 6:58PM, 30 minutes from now, 45 if you want it delivered to your door. Excellent! I decided to give them an extra 10 minutes and arrived at 7:08pm. Two other customers were waiting for their pickup order, which was late. Mine, even later. So, after an hour, they hand it over, say sorry for the wait, and I drive the food home. Stay with me. The box is leaking and soaking wet in the corner, leaving some awesome cheese-grease on my front seat. I arrive home, apologize to my family, who are at this point close to starvation, and open the box to serve the pizza. Most of the contents are not actually ON said pizza, and the half cheese side could not be deciphered from the sausage side. See pictures. Note that the box traveled flat on the passenger seat, which traveled approximately 1/4 mile. But I digress. To salvage the meal, I scooped the "cheese soup" with a spoon onto the dough, and served it in bowls. I did not want to go back and wait another hour for a replacement. So, we settled for pizza soup (patent pending). Rather than make this just a bitter rant, here are some tips. If you order online. 1 - expect an extra half hour, especially deep dish. This will save you from having to stand in front of their register with 11 other diners waiting for your order. Tip 2 - check the contents before you leave the restaurant. Tip 3 - lay the box on a towel in the car to save you from leakage. Better safe than sorry. Hopefully this was an anomaly. We may be back, but we won't be ordering online. read more

Rosati's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

We tried to order take out online from the website, but the cart function was not working. I called to make the same order, I explained the issue with the website and she didn't seem to care. But, the lady who answered must have been new because the order was painful and she clearly didn't know the menu. She had to keep putting me on hold to ask someone how to add toppings. She also incorrectly told us delivery was free within 5 mile radius. The order took longer than necessary to make by phone, but she finally got the order correct. We were told it would be ready for pick up in 25 minutes. It really took close to an hour. We ordered two pizzas, it cost $70. That is crazy!!The food was only mediocre. The crust on one pizza was over cooked. My husband is from Chicago, he enjoyed the Chicago style pizza. Which is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back. The service was not great, the food was only ok and the prices outrageous. read more
