I ordered a couple of Italian beef sandwiches and they were good. Being from Chicago I know my Italian beef. However, I ordered them to be delivered and 35 minutes after the set delivery time nothing had come. So I called the restaurant and found out that the delivery person did not show up. I wonder if I had not called would I have ever gotten my food. The manager said he would bring the food over which he did in a timely fashion. However, there was no apology nor any offer of compensation. I certainly will not order for delivery from this place ever again. read more

Great food, outstanding service! Had a combo pizza with thin crust and loaded with goodies. The Mediterranean salad was plentiful and yummy dressing. Great cocktails and a full array of ice-cold beers. Happy hour and specials are not to be missed - a great deal. Highly recommend. read more

As a Native Chicagoan who grew up on Rosatis, this place is like a toxic relationship. I keep going back despite knowing I shouldn't. I keep hoping it will get better, but it only gets worse. Today we ordered a Fabulous Four thin crust, which is my favorite. Everyone was super nice when we picked up and the pizza was literally just out of the oven, piping hot when we got it home. But it was bland. Flavorless. I don't know what was missing but it just wasn't good. Don't get me wrong - the crust was great. The cheese, high quality. And the sausage, tasty. But it just didn't work together. The pizza was bland and flavorless. Under seasoned maybe? Maybe they changed the sauce? Whatever it is, this pizza was meh and it gave me a huge dose of sadness. None of the veggies had any pop or flavor. I think it was just lacking sauce? Some pieces had none. Whatever it was, this pizza was sorely lacking. read more

Great service, attentive staff, and delicious food. Plenty of seating. Even decorated for the holidays! Will definitely come again.

We love rosati's! we always have a good experience but Alex took extra good care of us and went above and beyond!

The food is always very good. Everyone who works here is extremely nice and they all do a great job.

Raul should not be working at a place like this . Horrible service !! Nasty attitude. Besides that I'm sure they have good business but an employee like that makes you get bad reputation with his customer service he gives! read more

Pizza here is some of the best I've had! What else is nice as I recently discovered is they are pretty much the Only open bar in the middle of the day in Encinitas! A friend was having a challenging day and just wanted a glass of wine . Yummy finger food and a vino makes everything alright! read more

I understand this is a franchise. They make a good, expensive pizza but the business is run poorly. I have ordered for pickup quite a few times and it's been semi-frustrating but the food was good enough. I ordered a $39 pie for delivery a few nights ago; their website doesn't work well, so I had to call multiple times to confirm the order. I felt really confident they were on it. It included a $9 delivery charge (!) and I paid a pre-tip of $7.65, so let's call that $17 in service charges. They have a neat real time delivery tracking system, but as the night went on, it showed me the delivery driver took 35 mins to go less than 1.4 miles from their shop to my house near San Dieguito Academy. Pizza was unsurprisingly stone cold. I think the driver knew and called the shop to ask for help, because she was in my driveway for a really long time before getting out to walk up to the door. I wasn't sure if she was OK. I was left on hold twice when I called to ask for a fix. I also sent email and texts, but I still haven't heard back on why I paid 45% extra for cold food. Even if I hadn't complained, their system is able to see slow delivery performance so they can proactively help customers. read more

Wow! No wonder living in San Diego is a dream. This pizza place has some incredibly good deals. I got 2 18 inch pizzas, free garlic bread nuggets with check in, a Greek salad a deep dish Chicago style pizza and some toppings all for 100$. That's basically the same price as 6 piece sashimi at nobu. The food is indeed absolutely delicious. I have to say this pizza is one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten in my lifetime as a human being. The service was a little off in terms of waiting. The salad was delicious but tiny. The two pizzas are cut into squares instead of the triangles you normally would order them in. Come and try it out, you will be pleased. Parking outside is huge and the waist will grow larger once consumed. Absolutely delicious way to go rosati. read more

I'm from Chicago, so I do have standards as far as hot dogs are concerned. I will say the lunch special of hot dog, fries and soft drink is a good deal. The hot dog seemed small . But was very good. I skipped the sweet relish. Not my fave. Otherwise, good. Quiet weekday. Three at the bar, and yet I felt ignored. YMMMV. read more

Update next day: I was so disappointed by my pizza the night before that I decided to stop by and try their food in person. I am convinced they had a rookie making the pizza I order the night before because in ordering a pizza with meat today, there was no question it was there and plentiful and flavorful. I retract my review of 2 stars and upped it to 5. Excellent place and food. 3/3/23 I heard so much about this place that we had to try it. Ordered three pizzas and bread nuggests appetizer and it was $118 plus $9 delivery charge plus tip. Two things turned me sideways. One was that I ordered a sausage pizza and there was hardly, if any, sausage on my deep dish. Three of us inspected it to see and I could find any remnants of sausage. If it was there, it was blended in; When you pay $40 for a 14" pie, it should have more toppings on it. My second gripe is when you spend over $100 for a pizza, you shouldn't have to pay for delivery, and second, $9 for a one mile trip seems excessive. Did the pizza taste good? Yes. It was tasty. That being said, you should be able to see the sausage and other items on a $40 pizza. It had olives, onions and peppers on it. Could hardly find them as well. Lots of delicious sauce I don't think my family will be ordering except for special occasions, but the flavor was solid. Lastly my dipping sauces arrived, spilled all over the the little bag it was in... they were .85 each and there was one we didn't order. Taste: 5 stars Cost: 2 stars Delivery time: 3 stars Completeness of order: 2 read more

I have been eating at Rosatis for 30+ years, first in Chicago, then in Tucson AZ, and for the last 10 years in Encinitas. The pizza was always fantastic, until lately. A month ago, we had a thin-crust pizza that was not crisp on the bottom. The waitress told us that to get it crisp, we now had to specify that the kitchen uses cornmeal. She said they no longer use cornmeal unless requested. We went back last night and the waitress didn't know what we were talking about, but she would tell them in the kitchen. The pizza came out with just a tiny bit of cornmeal on the bottom. The pizza was semi-crisp. If this is the new norm, then you have lost a long-time customer read more

This is the best pizza around town. I used to work in a pizza place when I was in high school and I thought that I made the best pizza in town. This pizza taste exactly like what I used to make. read more

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! My family and I went to Rosati's pizza after my son's game, only to encounter the worst customer service ever. The manager, Barry, was incredibly rude and very confrontational, insisting we sit outside in 52-degree weather because we supposedly took up too many tables. After enduring 30 minutes of confusion and frustration, I discovered Barry hiding in the back, laughing at the chaos he created. This restaurant is a joke - I won't be returning or recommending it. Encinitas has plenty of great restaurants with proper service. Upper management, if you're reading this, find a manager who cares about your establishment. One of the attached pictures captures an employee disrespectfully yelling at a team parent - utterly unacceptable. read more

Deep dish, deep dish, deep dish. You want deep dish pizza? They've got it. Not many places make it but the deep dish here is very good. The crust is amazingly buttery. Is it Chicago good? I don't know and I don't care. It's really good and it's reasonably priced. Just remember it takes longer to cook so make sure you give sufficient time after you order it. Our chopped salad (with chicken, blue cheese, bacon, etc.) was fine. The picture looks a lot better on the website (with a lot more toppings). But get that pizza. It weighs a ton and it's really good. read more

I was born in Chicago and I remember coming here 7 years ago and thought it was pretty decent. The Deep dish we got recently was the sausage, bell pepper, onion pizza and it was very bad. I will say this, the thin crust was very good and I think I'll be back to watch Chicago sports. Stay away from the deep dish if you are from Chicago. Order the thin crust, if you are not from Chicago you may think it is decent. Trust me, it cannot compare. Great service and great vibes. Thin crust, not deep dish. read more

After living in Encinitas for over 20 years, I came to Rosati's for my first time today, and I was impressed. I did not know what to expect, I've driven by this joint probably over 1000 times, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere definitely have a sports bar feel. Being a Friday night, most of the tables were filled, and other people had the same idea, getting pizza and beer. The pizza was excellent. The sauce was super tasty. I came with five other people, and we were able to finish one of the large pizzas no problem! It was that good. They additionally had a good beer list. Quite a few different kinds on draft. Being a sports bar, the morale was a little bit low. The TVs are on the smaller side, so it's hard to actually feel "in tune" with the sports game. Additionally, I believe I only saw one waitress the whole entire time we were there. She was working her booty off, but it did cause for service on the slower side. read more

Loving deep dish pizza I am always on the lookout for places in SoCal that offer it up.... Not that there are that many. Rosati's turned out to be ok but not my favorite. Crust was a little over baked. The sauce had onions, and I don't like onions so that was a bit of a problem. The pizza tasted ok, but my baseline is Giordano's. read more

Food and service are great. The bar has anything your heart desires, great place to catch any sports games.

After reading so many reviews, we were excited to try this place. I wish I would have thought to take pictures- but in the short 10 minutes we were there, the shock of the situation surprised me. I was there with 5 families- headed to eat after a baseball game. I am a mother of three boys, including two toddlers. As I walked in with my little ones to the join the rest of our group (I was the last to arrive), I immediately heard the floor manager complaining about the fact that the restaurant was now full. Such a strange thing to complain about, but okay! I walked over to our table of 4 and went to sit down. We had a large group, but we had immediately broke into several smaller parties to accommodate seating and table availability. We know it's not reasonable to be served all at once, in one large group. As the servers reached our different tables scattered through the restaurant, we were told (at our respective separate tables) that they could not accommodate our group. We clarified that we were all at separate tables and we were okay with a little wait, we weren't in a rush. The servers went on about how our party was a lot and they could not accommodate that. We were genuinely confused- as again, we were all at different tables. It was only our team logos on our clothing that would have identified us as one large party, not our seating arrangements. We had pointed out that If we were 5 separate families that walked in one after another, that this would be the exact same situation. Would you refuse to serve five different parties? The manager responded by telling us that they just weren't going to serve us- and literally saying the words- "WE DONT WANT YOUR BUSINESS." The polarizing effect of sitting at a table, with your children, hearing the servers tell you that you can't be served, is disturbing- and embarrassing. It's also incredibly frustrating. Let me be clear, our group was not loud or rambunctious. I could understand if the kids were running everywhere and making a scene. They were not. So we left. Packed up all the kids, all the people from the tables across the restaurant and left. It was such a surreal, wild experience. Put it on my list of firsts- first time being refused service after being seated. As I re-read the reviews, I quickly spotted a trend. All from the immediate local area of Encinitas- and all small parties. Im not posting this review to be a troll or a tattletale- but as a story of caution specifically to the large family/group people out there. This spot is not it. Bottom line; if you are a party of 1 or 2- this spot might be okay for you. If you have a bigger group- 10/10 do not recommend. If you have kids- definitely do not recommend. If you are a sports team headed lover to have pizza, food, and drinks after a game or practice- STAY FAR AWAY. Save yourself the headache. read more

Thank you, Rosati's for feeding my hubby and me during the Stay in Place. We ordered way too much food, but ended up eating it ALL. Rosati's took our online order, made it, packaged it up safely and delivered it promptly, to our front step and in under 45-minutes. We went with the thin crust this time and I'm so glad we did. It was cut into squares, super thin and cracker crisp with a perfect amount of sauce, cheese and topped with pepperoni and olives. We also ordered a house salad with the homemade sweet onion dressing that was divine. I could eat that off my hand and be just fine with that for dinner. Next came the cheesy garlic bread with a side of warm marinara. Our tummies we're full and demeanors happy knowing we were able to support a local business during this unprecedented time. THANK YOU!! read more

This is disgusting. Maybe just maybe if there wasn't 15 - 17 year olds running this restaurant then they wouldn't serve me this ridiculous pizza. Yes I ordered extra cheese before but it was nothing like this. Extra cheese usually means maybe a handful more not an entire cup of cheese. The jalapeños aren't even spread out. This is a nightmare for lactose intolerant folks. I love Rosatis ever since my family enjoyed it from Bloomingdale, Illinois since I was around 8 years old in 2005. I have previously been here on multiple occasions with no problems. But this, this is legitimately disgusting. I'm sorry but when I got there a young cashier who did not even greet me nor did they even ask anything they just looked at me head nodded and said "DoorDash?" No I'm not door dash why would you ask that instead of simply "hello sir". read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening about 4:30 in the afternoon it wasn't busy at all. I sat outside at the patio with a friend of mine. My friend wantied a beer and some pizza. The service is terrible, very slow don't sit on the patio because you will never see the waitress. The waitress works behind the bar and services the tables. We ended up getting a meat pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and sausage. We also got a beer which was probably the best part of the meal. About an hour after eating the pizza I had severe indigestion the sauce did not agree with my stomach. I had to walk into the restaurant, and ask to get our check because we never saw anyone especially after the pizza was dropped off. We did get garlic knots, but that was from checking in with Yelp, and that was very greasy, and doughy. The marinara sauce I think is what caused the indigestion to begin with. I personally will not be returning, but if you want a good beer they have a ton of a varieties of beers on tap, and in bottles. read more

Wife and I got two sandwiches. An Italian beef and a meatball. First off they were both half size sandwiches. Both were 6", that's it. One was $14.50 the other was $14.95. The Italian beef had an "off" taste, and there was literally only 3 meatballs that were about the size of large marbles. I don't get it. We had hi hopes once again for this place and got burned. Two sando's and an order of half baked garlic knots for $42. Can't do it again Rosati's. Would highly not recommend anybody getting a sando from here. If you are craving killer Chicago style sando's and dogs, make a morning or day of it and drive up to Portillo's in buena park next to Knotts Berry Farm. Their Italian big beef sando, it's only $10 and more than twice the size and hits all the checkmarks for bread, juice and flavor. Just keeping it real Rosati's. read more

We ordered a few pizzas for carry-out. They were generous on the toppings, but the crust was pretty bland. They're also on the pricier side for pizzas ($33 for a large combo) so I was expecting a bit more. We ordered online and the pies were ready well in advance of the 45min quoted. read more

This is a review for delivery (we've never eaten at the restaurant). The crust is really tasty and I like the cornmeal bits on the bottom. Unlike many places in town, the crust isn't too thick and it's topped with plenty of cheese and toppings. I think the wings are only ok. But the Caesar salad and the fried zucchini are the sleeper hits for us - really delicious! read more

Came here for dinner before our movie and that was a mistake. SERVICE - Our waitress was very slow. She checked on us once and we never received water refills. When we were waiting for change, it took some time. I mean she was a really sweet girl but she needed to pick up the pace. I saw other waitresses who checked on their tables often. FOOD Fried Pizza Dough - We got seated a few minutes before 6:00pm and ordered around 6:05pm because we looked at the menu ahead of time. The pizza dough bites came out at 6:38pm. How does it takes that long to fry pizza dough? No idea. It was very good though. Tossed in butter and garlic. Slight crisp on the outside and soft inside. The Godfather (deep dish) - This came out at 6:57pm. I understand deep dish takes some time but wow, almost an hour to get pizza after we ordered. This had a lot of flavor with very large pieces of Italian sausage. The crust was crispy and held the toppings well. It was a solid pizza but terrible wait time. Rosati's Monster (Thin) - This came out at 6:57pm as well. I wanted the crust to be on the crunchier end but it was on the softer side. This was incredibly salty though with the olives and Canadian bacon. Overall, the food was not too bad. The wait time and the service was really slow. We could not enjoy our pizza because we had to rush out for our movie. We heard other people telling their waitress "why is it taking so long?". Not thrilled with the wait time for food. read more
