OMG the deep dish is amazing! Employees are super nice. Delivery can take a while but worth the wait, or better yet pick it up and grab a beer while you wait. Rosati's is part of our regular dinner rotation. read more

We're from Chicago, and this is the best pizza we've had in years! We got the Fabulous Four, thin crust and it was amazing! Shared Chicago stories with the owner, great guy! We will definitely be going back! read more

I just had my first experience with Chicago style pizza here and it was amazing! By far the best pizza I've had. Their crust is amazing. If you haven't tried Rosati's yet it's a must! Thanks for the great food and service! read more

We gave Rosati's a chance to right the ship and they didn't pull through. Too bad. Here's a summary of our experience. Friday, 6:40pm, party of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. They seat us in the far back corner, busy restaurant. 1. We are not offered kid menus. Other tables with kids have paper and crayons. 2. Over 15 minutes pass seated, no server. 3. I get up, ask for drink menus and kid menus, ask for our server. 4. Server comes. We order everything. 5. 10 more minutes, no wine, no beer. I get up and our drinks are at the bar, sitting for a loooong time. I take them to our table. Notice an owner, and tell her of our experience so far. She says she'll take care of it. 6. Server brings salad, leaves and there are no utensils. I get up again, ask for utensils. We eat salad. 7. Owner #2 comes by, offers us free dessert. We say it depends on how long this takes. Asks what we ordered. 8. Food arrives. 2 kids dishes, pasta, pizza. Our pizza was wrong. We asked for double crust and got thin. 9. When food came out our server asked if we want anything else. We ordered 1 beer. By the time we were done eating, the beer still hadn't arrived. 10. I got up to tell the server to forget the beer, ask for our check and to-go boxes. 11. When I get back beer was delivered. 12. Check arrived, they offered the 1 beer on the house, which wasn't consumed and should have been cancelled and took 15% off our dinner. Horrible experience. read more

Was here for lunch yesterday and was disappointed for sure. First the place smells like a dive bar. Not appealing at all. Ordered Italian beef, fries and coke. Price was good at $9.99 for lunch special Meat was ok, and the roll was not appealing to me at all. I was rather crunchy. Fries we hot and the best part of the meal. I grew up in Chicago and I know what Italian beef should be and this i'm sorry to say isn't it read more

The food here was pretty good, great quality. But the service takes a long time even when they are pretty slow. However, they are at least nice here. read more

Thank you so much for accommodating our big group of 30 to celebrate my son's birthday. Marcy and Mike made it so easy for us being that we are not from the area. for great food and superb service. Our group had so much fun. read more

Great pizza (thin crust and mushrooms were perfection) and the mozzarella sticks were divine!

What?? I ordered a16 inch thin crust pizza with 2 toppings for $24. Went to pick it up and was told that it was burnt and to come back in 15 minutes. Okay. Returned after 15 minutes to get my pizza. As a "bonus" for the bother they gave me both the fresh and burnt pizza. They were both really crappy! Very generous on their part. Not to complain, but this place is truly subpar. Avoid it. read more

Love this place! My husband and I come here once a week and it NEVER gets old. Great food, such friendly staff! Thank you Rosati's! read more

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

Great customer service. Good basic pizza.salad was nothing rememberable.whole pizza weighed less than the box so did not seem like it was much of a pizza. Just ok at best. read more

Melody was incredible. She honestly expressed the menu and what she brought out exceeded our expectations by miles. Very tasty thin crust with lots of daily specials . I also tried the Italian beef sandwich with the auju sauce! Very yummy! Thanks for the lunchtime discount and great food!!! read more

After hearing all of the raves about this place I caved and finally made my way in. I came in and ordered food for to-go and they were pretty busy so I sat down, watched my Pats and enjoyed a beer. Liked the vibe so much I invited a friend to join me for another and hung out even after my food was ready. Food quality was awesome and the prices were pretty solid! Shared some of my food with the family and they were convinced that we will all be returning in the near future! Glad I found this gem! read more

I am sorry to update this. I hate the service MORE than I love the food. Good bye Rosati's .... It was me that walked out before I got my food. Understaffed in service but you have a greeter? Strange priorities. I wish you well but I wont be back.EVER. read more

Pizza smells delicious. It was done much earlier than expected.... the World Series was on the TV... and everyone was super polite!!! It was perfect. read more

God forbid you get what you ordered. I live in the area and moved here from Chicago, the food is okay, the service is CRAP! If you order out 90% chance your order is wrong. When you call them and tell them that your order is wrong, they argue with you and tell you that you are wrong. Here are some great options in the area, Borellie's just down the street is great food and ALWAYS spot on with your order. Pizza Port's Roma pizza is way better than anything Rosati's has. This is not Chicago pizza they will be out of business soon as their service is terrible. read more

Best pizza, hands down. Customer service never disappoints! If you are in town and want to try the place out, get any of their deep dish!

This pizza is delicious! They have a thin, double dough, and Chicago style. I have tried both the thin and double dough and my favorite is the double dough with Italian sausage. It is definitely more of a solid Midwest pizza than a wood fired gourmet pizza joint. The thin is great but it so thin you can eat a ton of it. Sign up for their coupons on their website to get coupon specials. This place is also a great sport's bar and a Cub's bar (Chicago style pizza)! They have some great beers on tap. read more

I was in for Super Bowl LIII and enjoyed an good afternoon/evening... and when I went to check out.... I was confronted with my request for a cardboard take away box vs. a paper covering to be able to add to my "collection of take away towards a pizza reward". The BARTENDER was MOST offensive when I asked for the cardboard take award with the coupon (collectible towards future pizza purchases...) versus the paper sack... Then spoke with the "SISTER OWNER" Marsha and was given extra language regarding the "CARDBOARD BOX - TAKE AWAY"... and the cost of it... never explaining that they had changed the collectible coupons towards future pizzas. (I am guessing as when I examined the cardboard box 'take award' there was no "COUPON " imprinted thereon.) Left feeling very put out, after spending a goodly amount of $ that afternoon/evening... Asked about the owner MIKE and was told he had a stroke! (SO VERY SORRY TO LEARN THIS). Still in all, a very terrible experience at Rosait's for which is VERY UNCOMMON WHEN MIKE IS IN HOUSE AND RUNNING THE SHOW! The BARTENDER WAS DEPLORABLE, FOR A GENTLEMAN..., (?) THAT IS TO BE REPRESENTING THE ESTABLISHMENT... BY BEING SO IGNORANT AND ADAMANT ABOUT THE CARDBOARD TAKE WAY CONTAINER WITH NO EXPLANATION!!!!! AS TO WHY... NOW PAPER SACK. There are lot of "GOOD" PIZZA places in the local area and this being a "CHICAGO" style ... pizza place, has just been knocked off the NORTH COUNTY SD RESTAURANT REVIEW places of recommendations! Sorry Mike, speedy recovery! ... and after speaking with your sister with no compassion for the situation... Competition will prevail...and another Encinitas CA. establishment in this shopping center will probably "BIT THE DUST...". So sad! I truly hope you will address this situation straight away! read more

I just like the awesome salads this place has. The chopped chicken salad is enormous and really dynamic. Has a lot of different ingredients without compromising the "heathy" aspects. It's worth the 13.99 price because it's basically a family salad or two meals for one. read more

Went to Rosatis for pickup. They were organized and I didn't need to go inside. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. A perfect thin crust pizza and tasty dough nuggets. A SoCal reminder of a long-standing Chicago tradition. Definitely worth the drive from OC. Thanks for being open during this difficult time. read more

Another crappy franchise chain restaurant wasting real estate space in Encinitas! When I originally heard that a Chicago Style restaurant was opening in Encinitas, I have to admit, I was excited. After eating there my excitement has dissipated and I am back to reality. First off the food was simply put, awful. I had an combo Italian Beef w/ sausage and French Fries as a side. It was hands-down one of the worst sandwiches I've ever tasted. It tasted like the cook dumped a whole jar of salt on both the sandwich and fries. In fact, I could not even finish the meal because it was so salty and disgusting. On top the bad food it seemed like the staff was more interested in gossiping amongst each other about how wonderful the place will be once they get there alcohol license and not paying attention to the food quality and guests. The icing on the cake was what seemed to be the "owner" happened to be sitting next to me at the bar talking to some "blow heart rude guy" about how much they will be able to mark up the cost of beer on guests once they have an alcohol license in the establishment. FYI... Currently they can not serve beer! The owner obviously saw me dissatisfied with the food and must have noticed that I sent the salty french fries back however he never even acknowledged the situation or me what so ever. All in all... In my opinion this place will be out of business with in a year! Save your money and take the extra time to drive down to Lefty's downtown for quality Chicago Style food! read more

You'd never know you're not in Chicago! I've eaten at Rosati's back in the Chicago suburbs countless times and have been to this location twice. The deep dish is very good, but what I was craving most from back home was the thin crust cut in squares. Ahhhh..so legit! They also have tons of beer on tap. Nice new tables, chairs and decor; it's loud and casual - perfect for hanging out and relaxing or a chaotic dinner with the kids. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I love Chicago style pizza and was thrilled when they opened. However, I've now eaten their pizza twice. The first time it was very average. Nothing special. No corn meal crust. But it was still better than the non-existent competition in north county. However, the second time it was a joke. I'm not usually one to complain at restaurants and I don't really take the time to write negative reviews on here very often but for $31.00 I was treated to this Chicago style deep dish pizza: http://i.imgur.com/DepK8GT.jpg Their cheese and sauce was almost non-existent and the toppings were barely present. For the same price I could have gotten three pizzas (at least) from any of the other chains in Encinitas. Again, I REALLY wanted to like this place but instead they managed to create the first pizza to ever actually make me angry... quite an accomplishment! Very disappointing. read more

I am originally from Chicago and I have finally found an authentic Chicago pizza in the San Diego area. The deep dish pizza is fantastic. It is the REAL DEAL. I plan to return again and again. read more

This place was a really great experience. Service was friendly and attentive. But it was the food that really got me. I had the Jumbo Chicken Wings. I consider myself a wing aficionado, not a wing connoisseur. So when I say these are probably the best wings I've tasted and they were plenty big. After enjoying the wings and the fiancee's fried pickles with a tall cool 805. My deep dish pizza showed up. Although not the best deep dish I've ever had, it certainly was a tasty pie! Most impressed with the flavors of their sauces, they were truly delicious. I would highly recommend Rosati's to anyone! read more

Food was a bit expensive and way too salty. Also took 45 minutes to get the pizza. We took a friend here because he was craving deep dish, and one pizza with 3 toppings cost us $34. Staff was very friendly and helpful, though. read more

We had out company Holiday party here and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the service was very good. You can definitely tell that they value their guests and I will make a point to come back here. read more

Something about their Deep Dish Pizza...it's devine! At first I wasn't sure about the tomatoes on top, afraid it would make the crust soggy. It doesn't and it's addicting. make sure you have enough for leftovers :) read more

Do not order from this place. I ordered $60 worth of pizzas online. Apparently we classified it as a pickup, despite the fact that we wanted it delivered at 7 p.m. I called at 7:30 pm and was told that it was a pickup. Whether it was or not, the pizza was not ready at 7:30, so I asked for a cancellation of the order. Mike, the manager, yelled at me and told me there would be no refund despite the fact that the order was not ready 30 minutes after delivery/pickup. We had to call our bank and reverse the charges since these people refused to provide the refund for not one, but two mistakes and not only unfriendly service, but abusive responses. Do not ever, ever order pizza from these people. Do not ever, ever deal with this person Mike. Do not ever, ever trust anything they tell you on their Web site. I will make it my mission to make sure that as many people as possible know about how these 'people' operate as possible. One final thing - I called Mike a clod in my original review, which detracted from the point I was trying to get across. I do not think anyone should do business with him. After I posted the initial review, he called our home and screamed at me again. I put him on speaker, much to the shock of the room full of family members who heard his meltdown. That's who you're dealing with when you deal with this place. Go somewhere else and save yourself the aggravation. read more

Just left there ! We shared the best thin crust pizza I've had in years !! Along with an Italian beef sandwich !!!!! Staff was very nice and friendly !! Loved it. Might have to go back tomorrow for lunch !! read more

This pizza place is amazing! The staff is so friendly, and really make you feel at home. The owners go above and beyond to make the customers happy and comfortable and the food is DELICIOUS! My new favorite pizza place in Encinitas! read more

This new Chicago style pizzeria / sports pub was a great find. Opened only a week ago and the food, service and ambiance were superb. I ordered lasagna and loved the marinara sauce. Tangy and rich like I like. The noodles were individually light and thin. The side salad with balsamic vinaigrette was fresh and crisp and a generous portion for a side salad. I ordered my typical Arnold Palmer only because beer is not here yet but was told by Mike, the owner, that they anticipate beer and wine within 2 weeks. Looking forward to returning to try one of there numerous beers. I did not count but it looked like there was over 2 dozen taps!!! The whole restaraunt is surrounded by windows so it feels very airy inside. The TV's are mounted up high so they are not in your face all of the time but easy to see anywhere in the restaurant. Our server Summer was delightful and attentive. read more

AMAZING RESTAURANT!!!! We came here with my whole family for my wife's birthday and the food was great. We got a ton of appetizers and pizzas it was all sooo good. The deep dish was so good. I am from Chicago and this was Chicago pizza! Service was so good and so nice. The staff went above and beyond to get us special candles for my wife's birthday. Great place and this will be our new go to place for birthdays. read more

I had the Italian sausage, mushroom, onion pizza, the red sauce is very flavorful. The pizza was thin and crispy, especially the outer pieces. I would defiantely return. Nick, the bartender was very informative and friendly. read more

Our second time getting a deep dish spinach pizza at rosati's. This time we sat at the bar for beers and appetizers while waiting for the pizza to take home. The bartender, who also took our pizza order, came to us and explained that after 45 minutes, our deep dish pizza was nowhere to be found. We said 'no problem, it happens, we've had it before and we'll be back'. He said 'let me take one more look'. And out he came with our pizza saying it was sitting in a place he didn't look. So we get home and find out what he actually gave us was a cheese pizza with a few spinach leaves sprinkled on top. We were okay with the error, but not the lying. We are never going back to this rosati's again and suggest you not go to a place that treats customers so poorly Regards Paul read more

Staff was very nice. Good beer selection. I can sum up the food with one word "Chain". This ain't Chicago Gangsta!

Had lunch today at Rosati's. What a disappointment of a meal. The thin crust pizza was floating in a liquid, that may have been tomatoe sauce, I am not sure. The Chicago Italian Beef sandwich was tasteless and about as fresh as the salad, which was old enough to vote. Never going there again, and I advise you to not too. read more

Sorry, wanted to like this place. I'm someone who would say that there is not really such a thing as terrible pizza, but the one I had here was pretty bad. It was $20 for a 12" thin crust pizza, half veggie, half cheese. We were the only people ordering food at the time, the restaurant was basically empty. It took about 35 - 40 minutes to get, and when we got it was... not burned... but I think it was really overdone. The crust was like a cracker, very hard, dry, we didn't eat any of the outside crust because it was too overdone/hard/not good. Honestly, I wish I hadn't eaten it, not worth the calories. I would almost never say that about pizza. Maybe we should have ordered the deep dish. The had some live music, which was really nice. That was one good thing. Food was not good. read more
