Yummy Food! And its open! Patio seating and friendly service. The restaurant is family friendly during this time. Love having a laugh with server. Chicago Pizza yummy! read more

Decided to visit Rosati's for dinner because of the reviews. Great service and friendly staff. Plenty of beer selections. They have deep dish and thin crust pizza options. Good to know. But this night I decided to try the Lasagna. The wait for food took way way way too long. The Lasagna was overcooked and too dry to my liking. So, next time I am going to avoid any pasta dishes and order the pizzas instead. Since the reviews are more for the pizza! read more

Rosati's never disappoints! Their marinara sauce is the best! And of course the tap list...you can always find something for your taste

So, the short version: Rosati's is the best pizza I have found in all of San Diego. Having grown up in the Chicago area I am 100% biased towards that style of pizza and thus far I have only actually had Rosati's deep dish offering. But, after ordering it about 3 times in the last month... I don't really see a need to change. It's good. Like, really good. Sauce... The sauce is quite possibly the best Pizza sauce I have ever had. It's fresh! And full of real veggies and spices. I feel like a fanboy making such a big deal about it... but it is really that good. Cheese... They use good cheese. There is a difference. It's not that chewy gnarly stuff you get from a greasy spoon. It's fresh mozzarella that works perfectly with the sauce. Crust... If I am being a snob the crust is the only part of the pizza that isn't a definitive A+. It works great with the cheese and sauce, but on its own its a tad dry. Although, I am not sure if a Lou Malnati's style butter crust would ruin everything else that is so good about this pizza. Remember, this is a total nit pick. So, still an A. As someone that has literally ordered pizza overnight from Chicago, it goes without saying that Rosati's has 100% the best Chicago style pizza in San Diego that I have encountered. And, YES... I have been to virtually all the places that show up on yelp and otherwise. Rosati's is in a different league. Bottom line, I love this place. read more

This is one of my favorite pizza places! The vibe is great, the pizza is delish... they actually have green olives as a topping! And as someone who doesn't drink much I appreciate that they do 8 ounce pours of the draft beers and ciders. I prefer the thin crust pizza, so thin and crispy. My boyfriend likes the deep dish. It's worth a stop in for sure! read more

i love this Chicago themed sports bar. definitely a place to go if you a Chi-town native. the spot wasn't that busy , and they only had 3 ladies serving and working the bar, kudos to them. i ordered the jumbo buffalo wings and a Chicago deep dish pizza. the wings weren't actually "jumbo" they were just regular sized . the pizza was actually pretty good. just wish it was a bit more crispy . overall , very solid place. read more

We were sad our favorite pizza and beer place in Encinitas went out of business, so we decided to try this place out. The atmosphere is great, and you get decent beer selection. We ordered the largest thin crust pizza possible and it took a looooooong time.. I mean, it's expected, but it took longer than what you would expect with a deep dish... And it wasn't that good.. :( Maybe next time, we'll try the deep dish... read more

Love this place but not sure why they are closing at 8pm on Friday's and Saturday's. Love the deep dish but last time we went, got there just before 8p and were told they were closing. Bummer. read more

First thing you feel when walking in the door is welcome. The hostess took care of us immediately. After being seated, our waitress was right there to take our drink order. Glancing at the giant listing of beers makes it easy to spot a favorite. We ordered a large all meat with one half anchovies pizza. The little woman hates the tiny fish. I love em and they were plentiful. The crust was crisp and the toppings and cheese plentiful. We took some home so we could enjoy desert. The Manager/owner Marci dropped by to ask how everything was. No complaints from this happy couple of pizza lovers. A+++ read more

I have been ordering from this place for the last five years since I moved here from Chicago, and I ordered from them for 30+ years while in Chicago. They've never had an issue delivering until today. The young man (probably a teen) said "oooh you're far. Let me ask my driver if he will go that far". Comes back to the phone and says we are too busy (and other things) very rudely. So basically, it doesn't matter if you've given them thousands in business, they're teen cashiers and incompetent drivers dictate who is going to get a pizza. The original owners would be seriously pissed if they knew how their name is being portrayed now. Horrible customer service. read more

Great pizza!!! Great service!!! Their dough nuggets are delicious and addictiinnng!!!

The staff was awesome. Caitlyn was very attentive and talked with us like we were family. The only complaint I have is that I couldn't eat more! The saltiness of the pepperoni and the sweetness of the crushed tomatoes were perfect! THIS IS WHAT DEEP DISH IS SUPPORTED TO BE!!! read more

Another great pizza spot in the ENC. Pizza itself is great. Atmosphere is sport bar obviously. Service was slower than I'd like. Good place for kids. Make sure to take advantage of the Yelp check in deal. read more

Love this place! They have a great selection of craft beer & the staff is exceptional & friendly. Best Chicago food around. It has such a fun atmosphere. We take our family there at least once a month. You can't beat Wing Wednesdays and the dog friendly patio is a bonus! read more

Their thin pizza is LEGIT Chicago-style thin. I'm originally from Chicago so I definitely know. We had their deep dish (not stuffed--deep dish!) and it was decent but I definitely prefer the thin. They also have real Chicago giardinera, which we love as a topping. read more

Best tasting pizza we've ever had! We had the classic combo with extra garlic and there was no shortage of garlic! Seemed a little pricey but compared to other pizza parlors it was worth it! We will be regulars without a doubt. read more

I have been coming to Rosati's in Encinitas for a very long time. We had one hiccup along the way but they made it right. The pizza, salad, service, delivery and prices are fantastic. It is my go to pizza place for sure. read more

Pretty good Chicago deep dish pizza. The crust is very good. Tons of flavor and stands up to the cheese. I could go for a little bit more cheese, but maybe that is a personal preference. In terms of deep dish pizza in North County, it is tough to beat. read more

This is our go-to for our son's team gatherings and also for just hanging out with friends. The service can be slow but the food and staff are always great. The dough-nuggets are amazing and they have an awesome beer selection. The pizza is also great. Love this place. read more

It took me long enough to discover this neighborhood gem in North County. I love, love, love deep dish pizza, and I assumed for years that the only good option I had was Lefty's...which is no immediate gratification for a Del Martian. As soon as a friend clued me in, my husband and I ordered a Chicago style (sausage and onions) pizza for pick up and went to town. It was totally good and totally hit the spot. We got our deep dish fix! read more

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

I used to really like this restaurant because normally the pizza is bomb and the pasta is delicious but last time I went there was a new guy that I had never seen/talked to before and he took my order and helped me when I picked up and my pizza was terrible and they forgot my side order. Just now, I tried to order to pick up. I was debating between pizza or pasta. The guy who answered the phone was a royal a$$hole. First they wouldn't deliver if you call after 7:15pm. How the f am I supposed to know that as it is not on the website. Next I can't order deep dish after 7pm because it takes too long to cook. Would be nice to put that on the website and the guy doesn't have to be such a d when he tells you. I totally forgot that I was thinking about lasagna (also they took ravioli off the menu) and that the New York style pizza is really good too. The guy, for some reason I think he is the new manager, had really negative energy. I hope he finds a better jobs and someone else takes over and I will go back. Makes me feel very sad. read more

We had to update this review. We had some friends that wanted to come here, had never been before, so we agreed to go. One more chance, we were REALLY hoping for a good experience because their pizza is really good, they are really close to home, we WANT to love this place But... I am a vegetarian. I ordered Green Peppers on my veggie pizza. What I got was pepperoni. Our waiter was very apologetic, as was the owner. However, I got my correct pizza after everyone in my party was through eating. How awkward. I almost asked them to just pack it to go. When they brought the bill, they actually charged for my late pizza, no discounts offered, no "Let me buy you guys a beer"...my husband had to go tell them, this is another bad experience, do you think you could adjust our bill? He shouldn't have had to ask. They should have offered to make it right. We won't be back, sadly. Everyone else liked their pizza, but the consensus was "This was really good, but at that price? Yikes." read more

Not sure what happened. Ordered food to go. Should have checked the pizzas before I left. They were really underdone and did not taste good at all. I'm really disappointed. It's been a few years since I've been here and the food and service used to be good. read more

We were looking forward to this place opening near the house. We've been in for dinner twice now. Just in case our first experience was an off night. The only way I could rate their pizza as delicious would be if someone slipped me drugs. Or if I was drunk. Dear gawd. Let's be real. Their pizza tastes as though it was made with Prego as the sauce. Even our kids refused to finish this lackluster pizza. I refused to waste it and boxed it up to go home. They refused to finish it at home the next day. Our daughter and I both adore cheesy lasagna. On our second visit in we ordered a plate to share. It tasted as though it was made by a Barbie doll. Not cheesy at all. Inedible. Plastic. This would be a good place to go to catch a ballgame on t.v. while swigging a cold one. That's the most generous possibility I can give them. Mediocre food but nice cold beer. I was baffled by all of the raves for this place until I noticed the raving reviews thanking them for a Yelp Event. Oh yeah...I get it. A few slices of free pizza and unlimited free drinks. No wonder all of the raving Yelp reviews. I scrolled through their other reviews on here. Interesting that their management fawns over every person who posted a glowing review and simply turns a deaf ear to every customer who was less than pleased. Noteworthy and a disappointment. This tells me they simply don't care to listen and improve by honest customer feedback. Free parking and lots of it. read more

This place is awesome, the food, and the beer choices are amazing. Very authentic Chicago style food and the people that work here are amazing. Very down to earth and personable. This is a great place to grab some food with the family or stop in for a quick beer to watch a game! read more

I love pizza. Who doesn't? I love Chicago style pizza even more. So when I found out the new "Rosati's Pizza" down the street makes Chicago pizza I was excited. Having had my fill of pizza on Superbowl Sunday I laid off it for a few weeks until yesterday. A bit lazy from a late night on Friday out with friends, I started craving it again. Well, I finally looked up the menu online and ordered a saucy, thick, deep, cheesy, Pepperoni, Chicago style pizza to go. About 45 minutes and it would be ready. I sat at home wondering what it would be like. Would it live up to my expectations? Would it be as good as the last that I had at a far away pizzaria? Would I survive my hunger? Yes, yes, and yes!!! It is everything I wanted. I am so glad Rosati's is just down the street. I'll be getting pizza here for years to come, I just know it. Check out their menu they have it all...Calzones, salads, pasta dishes, hot wings, breaded mushrooms, cheesy garlic bread.... Oh mamamia. I am getting hungry again. Seriously, I want to go again and it's been less than 24 hours. Do I need an excuse to go again today? I hope not. I think I want a meatball sandwich. read more

Let me clear my throat. This place would be a zero if it was possible. Lunchtime for someone's birthday at work with 9 women that work for a highly influential healthcare system in the Encinitas community. So first off the wait time is ridiculous for food that is mediocre at best. The pizza slices were burned to a crisp but they were nice enough to give us slices of flavorless cheese pizza. We waited an hour before we got our food, with no offers for bread or anything. Thank god they brought us a pitcher of water though!! The best thing about this place was our server, Nick. The owner was worse than the food. He was rude and defensive even though he wanted our feedback. Apparently they have been making their $35 deep dish runny, tasteless, burnt crust pizza like that for 50 years!! Listen, if you're in the Encinitas area stick with legit Italian places like Pizzacato or Borrelli's. This place won't last it's a joke. read more

Bomb garlic knots and wings. Good thin crust pizza friendly pickup staff. Will be back!

Not like any Chicago style pizza I've ever had. Truly disappointing. Was excited to See this place under construction! What a let down. -Upon driving up you can see staff sitting on the walls, in their aprons, smoking and joking and basically hanging around. I realise that this is the back of their restaurant, but it is the front for all patrons driving up. Disgusting. - The pizza we ordered was the Chicago deep dish with pepperoni, peppers, onions and mushrooms. While the flavour was on point, the entire thing was soggy and crust was mushy. I was hopeful that I could just place in a skillet and crisp the bottom. Waste of time. Maybe the veggies were not cooked and sweat enough so the contributed to the pie being so overall soggy. -Not enough cheese or pepperoni. The girls at the register were very friendly and they get the star. But the pizza was not good, the staff smoking section is distasteful and I won't bother with this place again. Nor would I recommend to anyone. read more

This is real Chicago Thin Crust pizza. Grab a knife and fork and starting calling dibs on the corner pieces! I'll still visit Lefty's, but this place is only a mile away and delicious! Gonna try the Italian Combo Sandwich next! Edit: Italian Combo was great-get the au jus on the side or it gets soggy. Went the Portillo's way and got spicy peppers instead of sweet. read more

So nice to have some familiar pizza out here! Delivery is always on time, pizza is super hot and tastes sooo good!! Pizza, wings just like we remember from the Rosati's in the Chicagoland area. read more

This place has great Chicago style pizza and their hand tossed crust is also really good too!

Meh is right.. service was fine. Waiter recommended the thin crust - said it was really good and what they are known for.. when it arrived I thought it looked like a frozen pizza... wish it tasted as good as frozen pizza! $14 for small tasteless thin pizza. $10 for vegetarian salad and $12 for a very mediocre slice of lasagna... definitely overpriced for quality. Also, music is very loud - hard to talk. Draft selection looked decent- wish they posted prices on the board. Overall - meh - would not recommend. read more

After some initial issues with service and food prep times, Rosati's seems to have really come into it's own. Offering the only source of local Chicago style deep dish pizzas, I've found myself craving Rosati's pretty often. The sauce is delicious, and the deep dish is well executed. The regular pizza is adequate, although they got our toppings wrong on our last visit and dumped green peppers all over it. Like a truck load of green peppers. Rosati's has a nice long L shaped bar and has really upped their game with local craft beers. My latest discovery is their fantastic lunch specials. For ten bucks, you can snag an outstanding Italian Beef sandwich and a soda. They've also got pizza by the slice with a soda for under $5. It's quick, it's cheap, and it's delicious. This place is getting slammed on the weekends, and for good reason. The food and the atmosphere is great for a family dinner out. read more

This review is for the thin crust pizza and the traditional wings. Rosati's thin crust pizza is bomb. I'm from SW Michigan, and we had a great local spot (rated 4.5 stars on Yelp) that did pizza very similar to Rosati's: Square-cut, thin and crispy crust piled high with toppings, and finished with a generous layer of mozzarella. Everyone raved about this place back home, including myself. My friends will give me crap for this, but Rosati's is way better. I recommend the Classic Combo, thin crust. Sauce on the bottom, the way it should be ;-) Then, there's a full layer of delicious pepperoni and sausage that covers the entire crust. Top that with crunchy bell peppers (both red and green, which I thought was a nice touch), onion, mushroom, and black olives. Cover everything with the *perfect* amount of cheese, and every bite is heaven. Like Scott T. said, it's even delicious cold the next day. Next, the wings. We went with 12 traditional in mild sauce. They were nice and meaty and cooked perfectly. Super good and subtle crispiness with a generous portion of sauce, but not soggy at all. Compared to B-Dubs (or any comparable restaurant) these come out on top. *** No beer yet, which is a bummer for me because I love a West Coast IPA. Looks like they've got a bunch of taps on the wall (maybe like 30+?) and sign that says "BEER AND WINE SOON," so I'll definitely be back soon to scope the selection! read more

Sorry Rosati's that I forgot to put in my review at the time of YEE in February! I'm so glad that I was able to attend because I have found a great place to have some delicious pizza and beer whenever in the area! The salad that were available at the time of the event were just as delicious, but I have to honestly say that the pizza's that were sampled out were amazingly yummy. Full of flavor and plenty of toppings to make me a happy camper. The patio is a plus if you want to be outdoors. Although the patio is along the main street you don't notice the passing cars. The patio is lined with market lights which always adds a nice ambiance to the area. There is plenty of seating indoors as well with TV screens to view. At the time of our event in the middle of the week, the place had quite a few customers. It's a happen place even during the middle of the week. We had the chance to meet the owners and they were very friendly and very proud of their business and proud to be able to support their community in means of sponsoring Little Leagues. Although, I thought to have tried a lot of the pizza's they sampled, they offer a wide variety of dishes on the menu that I hope to try someday soon. Oh, and the owner said to come check the place out on Tuesday's when they have live music, and come early, the place fills up quick! Also a good thing to know, they observe Happy Hour! I'll be back! read more

My wife's originally from #ChiTown and complains about cali pizza. We are so glad this place opened, They have great food (pizza, cheesy beef), good music, they always have the games on and their staff is super friendly. This place is awesome hands down. Only downfall is their liquor license hasn't cleared so they don't have beer. Other than that THIS IS THE PLACE. read more

I really want to like this place. They have a pretty good beer selection for sure! The food is pretty good too. Yet service and order accuracy is very poor. Went there last night, Friday, for dine in. Seated at our table, every waitress including the owners just looked at us. No one served us even when asked. We ended up walking out. Tonight I thought we would try a take out order. My pizza was quite good. Yet it had onions that I did not ask for. I also ordered salad with chicken. She said the salad was very good but did not come with the chicken. I hope the ownership tightens things up. This is a great location and the food is good. A huge step up from Papa John's and the delicatessens that have been here. read more

Seriously so delicious. We got a pizza and their dessert twists with the Nutella, and I was in carb heaven. The pizza sauce was perfect and the pizza was baked really well. I will definitely go back on another cheat day! read more
