Oh, man, do I love me some good pizza! This pizza goes beyond good! It is wonderful! The pie is perfectly balanced with toppings, cheese, crispy yet chewy crust, and sauce. Fresh toppings and made with love. The pie is unique in that it's not cut into typical triangle slices...but I like it! Plenty of opportunities to grab a crispy end or gooey cheesy center piece or both! My mouth is watering now as I write this review! read more

Deep dish pizza something that's close to my heart wile at the same time killing it slowly with one delicious slice at a time! Coming here I knew what deep dish I was getting into and I must say it's about average here when it comes to the deep dish as the flavors were partially there as I felt the sauce was the best part of this pizza as it was super yummy and kind of made up for the lack of sausage on each slice. The crust my favorite part of any deep dish was really average and not as flaky and as buttery as other deep dishes I've had but it was still better than some. They offer a check-in offer for a order of their fried dough which is pretty much pieces of I'm guessing leftover dough which is then fried and sprinkled with some Parmesan to be served with Mariana sauce for dipping defiantly a nice free snack to share with friends! Overall decent pizza nothing crazy either way I doubt I'll be back here as I've seen a number of pizza places in the area that I'm more tempted to try! read more

We purchased the deep dish, fried dough nuggets and cannolis for dessert. The deep dish was great no complaints. The fried dough nuggets were not bad. The cannolis were stale. So definitely made us feel sick. Ruined the meal. Had an old smell and some green stale stuff sprinkled on the edges. Service is great. The people are so friendly. I would say stick with the pizza. read more

I love this place. We were in Encinitas at dinner time, wanted pizza, and boom!!! Definitely has the atmosphere of a neighborhood friendly restaurant. Wish there was one closer to me!!! We had a Caesar salad that was perfect. Also ordered a pizza that was a meat and veggie combo with thin crust. So amazing. The server was very friendly and attentive. We loved every aspect of the restaurant. read more

Just ordered a pizza via Yelp app through Grubhub. Order got screwed up. Manager at Rosati's said it was a Grubhub issue and he couldn't help. So basically I'm out $45 with a wrong pizza that cannot be eaten. My wife cannot eat black olives. Who would ever order a cheese and black olive pizza? Yuk. It is literally worth the drive to Costa Mesa and get. Chicago Deep Dish from Rance's. This was a huge FAIL by both Grubhub and Rosati's. read more

This will be the last time I will be dinning at a home town favorite like it was when I grew up back in Chicago suburbs. Ever since ownership changed quality and service has gone down hill. I used to work in the restaurant industry, the young gent bartender was trying his best to be kind but forget our sodas, over charged us on the bill, and pizza was suppose to be well done and was under cooked bc or the over loading of ingredients...called in the order ahead of time and pizza still took too long to come out undercooked...sad to see this place go downhill. I'll be going to Berkeley pizza next time downtown. Cooks need to be trained better on quality control; way too many onions. At least the hot dogs were good. Best of luck guys read more

If I could give a zero star rating I would. I've been a customer for many years and have never been so disappointed. Received a coupon for a free 12' cheese pizza for my daughter's birthday so when I called to place my carry out order I provided the details (expiration date, coupon code, etc.). Since this is a nationwide chain, I ensured it was this exact location, which it was. The rep on the phone said they would not honor it because their system wouldn't accept the code. I've used many coupons over the many years I've been coming here and have never had an issue. I asked to speak to a manager and they said I could not, but they could send a message to the owner. The coupon expired and was never contacted. As irritated as I was, I placed a the same order because my wife wanted it after a horrendous week. Even though I didn't want to give you my business after that exchange, I did it for her. I asked for a ranch and they said it was a dollar for the smallest size and it wasn't even full. Had I eaten there they never charge, so I'm confused as to why they would charge for it. I drive all the way home (20 minutes) just to open the box and it's the wrong pizza. Contacted corporate and no response. As much as I truly enjoy this place, I will never come back and will gladly give other restaurants my business. It's a shame this was all over a 12' cheese pizza. Awful experience...you just lost a long time customer. read more

Rosati's Pizza - Pale under cooked dough nuggets. - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

There are so many options in Encinitas when it comes to pizza; however, Chicago style deep pan pizza is not available anywhere else. So, we gave it a try along with an order of spaghetti meat sauce, a garden salad, side of french fries and breaded mushroom for Friday night dinner. Unfortunately, it just makes me feel like I wasted my $60 tonight. I don't usually write a review as you can see how many I have written in the past, but for this place despite everyone's rave reviews, I have to disagree. First of all, $4 side of French fries is like a joke ( see the pic for reference). It is smaller than McDonald's large in a similar paper box with twice as much price. I understand they are not known for fries, but for $4, I only get this much!? Deep pan pizza was so wet with so much sauce and not enough cheese. No wonder, they have extra cheese as an option. If you don't add any extra cheese, this is like marinara pie. Pasta was ok, but it's definitely better at Buca di Beppo for sure. This one negative review may not change anything considering how many 4-5 stars reviews this place gets. However, next time if someone contemplates to give a try to this place, remember what I said. Thee are many other better options out there in Encinitas. read more

The free dough nuggets with check-in is enough to bring us back. The rotating beer selection and thin-crust pizza will cement us as "regulars". Melody in the kitchen is clutch. She elevates the food from "great" to something my small brain can't come up with the right word for. Nice to have the TVs for whatever sporting event you want to watch and hear while you eat pizza and drink!!! Love this place!!! read more

I've been coming here for years. The pizza is the best around. But they just refuse to put any sauce on the pizza or follow instructions to put extra sauce on. This starts with them barely putting sauce on their pizzas. I don't know why but I assume it's to save money. So knowing this I order with "extra" sauce, so it comes like a normal pizza would from anywhere else. EXCEPT THEY REFUSE TO PUT SAUCE ON THE STUPID PIZZA. At all. You order EXTRA and literally don't get sauce. WTF? Are you even legally selling "pizza" if there is no sauce? Otherwise it's just bread and cheese? I just don't follow? Would really love a response here Rosatis 4/17 update: Got another pizza. The person taking the order was familiar with my review when I asked for extra sauce and said they would make sure that the pizza arrived with sauce! It did!! Lots of sauce. Maybe a tad bit too much, but everyone agreed more is better than none!! I'll continue to add stars to this review for every "acceptably sauced" pizza I get from Rosatis in the future. read more

Pizza port is better first of all, and second these guys were mad that we wanted to sit there because we took up multiple tables...? COME ON. Plus, there were very few tables that were enough to fit groups of even 6, so we had to split up the group. These people basically said they didn't want us in their restaurant because they didn't have enough tables that were big enough to fit our party. We were trying to hang out there after a baseball game with more than half of the team. A boy on the team, Blake, was trying to move tables for him and my son to fit at the table because the table couldn't fit all of them. One of the workers got mad at Blake saying he was doing something awful and he had to put them back. He didn't say it in a nice way either, he YELLED at a child. Do not recommend. read more

It's easy to find, has indoor and outdoor seating, & t.v's if you like watching sports but not my favorite place to eat. The workers were polite but very slow at getting us our food. It was not busy when we were there and it still took over a 1/2 hour to serve us our food. Our waitress was not very attentive....barely visited our table and took forever with everything. The food was not that great. The pizza may have been better with less cheese. If you love a thick layer of cheese on your pizza you probably would love it. It drowned any other flavors. My husband had a calzone and it was on the smaller side. My daughter had a "The Cheef" sandwich and said it lacked flavor. It was definitely a memorable occasion: we will not be returning. read more

I heard about Rosati's having good "deep dish" pizza, so I made a special trip from Poway to go there and try a slice. I told the lady when I arrived that I was there because I heard about their deep dish and that is why I drove so far to try it. I asked about what types they had and then ordered a slice of the pepperoni. I double-checked and asked "That's deep dish, right?" She didn't say "no", but replied "It's the double-crust", which I naturally assumed to be their version or name for "deep dish", since I made a point to tell her of my interest in "deep dish" pizza and she did not say "No". Ok, for $7 for a slice I figure that's a bit steep, but it'll be worth it. Big surprise when I got it. ...not deep dish at all....if anything...pretty darn thin for a pizza. I don't see how they call that "double-crust"! What would a "single crust" be? Wafer-thin I suppose. Certainly not worth $7 for a re-heated slice of pizza....heck, Costco pizza is fresh and only $1.99 for a slice that is much better. Did she not understand or listen to me at all? I thought I was pretty clear about being excited about a "deep dish" pizza. I told her so and they just shrugged. No offer of taking it back or a refund....no apology. I can get a thin slice of pizza like that anywhere...certainly not going to seek this out. I can't recommend this due to the reasons I mention. There are a few good deep dish Chicago pizza places in town that I continue to frequent with my friends once a month. This place however is on my "avoid" list. read more

Ordered Rosati's Pizza delivery one night and really enjoyed it! We've ordered the cheese pizza with pepperoni and pineapple many times since then. Recently, we decided to visit Rosati's Pizza and enjoy our new favorite pie at their Encinitas location. We were pleasantly surprised by their vast rotating list of local craft beer including breweries like Black Plague, Booze Brothers and more. They even had a session IPA on tap, with all of the flavor of a regular IPA just under 5%. While we were there our server recommended a few other items on the menu and we found our new favorite go-to protein for any pasta dish: Rosati's Meatballs! Looking forward to coming back soon for good vibes, quality craft beer, and a tasty Italian menu that always leaves you wanting more! read more

Being from Chicago, I was exciting to learn about the menu here at this Chicago pizza place. I ordered the thin crust. And although it did have the texture and look of a real Chicago pizza. It just wasn't as good. It was lacking in something. I think the sauce. However I did want to try the deep dish pizza. So I called ahead so I could pick it up knowing that a deep dish pizza takes at least an hour to cook. And they said it would be ready in 35 minutes. Which made me very suspicious. I got there after 30 minutes and It was already Out of the oven and packed up. When I got at home, you can imagine my disappointment with barely any cheese in a deep dish pizza. Even my mom complained who spent years and years in Chicago, she could not find the cheese either. So we will not be going back. But I'll give it an a for effort and I truly did love the texture of the thin crust. This place makes California pizza taste good. read more

Sad to say, but it's my first time here and I ordered a slice and they charged 6 bucks for this tiny slice. Hand in picture for reference. Super disappointed. I overheard them having too many on staff today, so maybe they should cut back on staff, so they can charge a little less for a tiny slice of pizza. I could have paid 12$ for a 10 inch and I paid 6 for a slice? Makes ZERO sense! Sadly it wasn't even that great either. Highway robbery! Classy clients you have, too! You approved her vulgar post. read more

Rosati's is a pretty cool little pizza joint that serves some pretty legitimate Chicago style deep dish. The pizza here is actually very good and tastes fairly authentic with a nice texture and delicious flavoring. The place itself also has Chicago sports memorabilia all of the place and the bar yields a nice selection of brew. Pretty everything about this place was legit, minus the service. The servers literally didn't even acknowledge the customers for roughly 15 minutes post seating. At least what they lack in service they made up for in authenticity and deliciousness. Pros- Great deep dish pizza Flavorful sauce Nice beer selection Inexpensive Indoor/outdoor seating Nice sports bar vibe Cons- Terrible service Slow Odd location read more

Went yesterday, wanted my wife to check it out after the YEE this week! We showed up at a GREAT time(around 1:30 pm), the place had just a few customers. LOTS of tv's for watching golf and the news simultaneously. Nick got us taken care of with a glass of Strongbow hard cider for me(pint/$6.00) and iced tea for her($2.29). My lovely and lively dining companion chose the Harvest Salad w/Chicken($9.99/$2.00) with the signature sweet Italian dressing, which I very much liked. She said it was "fresh and light, without skimping on flavors, and tasted like it was actually crafted in the kitchen by a person, rather than being poured out of a bag". I had the wings, hot buffalo sauce, 6 piece($7.59).....the sauce was medium hot compared to pretty much every other place you go, and that was fine by me...just keep it in mind. The over the top awsome came with my four-topping, gluten free crust pizza($10.99+$1.50 EACH topping=$16.99). It's a 10" pizza, and MORE than enough for a big eater. I got sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and onion. This pizza was assembled and cooked to perfection, and it is without reservation, the BEST gluten free pizza that I have eaten on the west coast, and one of the best pizzas I have eaten anywhere. The crust was thin and crispy(tip: ask for it crispy), did not taste gluten free, but it was, trust me! The sauce is created in Heaven and brought down for us mortals to enjoy. On THIS occasion, I swear there was a hint of cinnamon in there. Cheese-brought in from the midwest, and lots of it, um...double up...umm-mmm! Toppings....REAL Italian style sausage, and the rest, just amazing as well! Bill was $56.45 with a generous tip, and will be back to Rosati's just as soon as I can! read more

First time here and ordered the Chicago style pizza. The flavor of the sauce was excellent and the topping were generous and tasty as well. That being said, I'm kinda of torn on the visit because of the thickness of the crust is definitely not true Chicago deep dish crust. The crust was the same thickness of a normal pizza at most places I've been to eat. Maybe 1/8-ish? The crust around the edge was really tall so it almost seems like the dough didn't set long enough to rise fully. I've lived in Chicago and the crust is wayyyy thicker. I can only usually finish one piece of pizza in Chicago and feel stuffed. I ate three pieces here today and was comfortably full. Overall pretty good pizza and great sauce. Worth the trip (Pics show thickness of crust. Finishing up the left overs for dinner) read more

Pizza, beer, pasta and salad... Amazing! If you're looking for great tasting food at reasonable prices not too far from the beach, this place is for you. A great family spot to catch a game, enjoy a meal and throw back a few adult beverages... Their the crust pizza is delicious! I've tried other Chicago Style places from San Diego to Vegas and can't wait to try it in Chicago... This place is the real deal. Service is great and the everyone seems to be having a great time. The patio is huge and the dining area is a good size for a party of two or ten! If you're in the area or even stuck in traffic, take a break and enjoy some live music (on Tuesdays) an ice cold beer and a hot pizza! Love this spot and can't wait to come back with my wife and friends. read more

I like this place, good location and friendly workers. Glad they got their beer menu established and looking forward to them getting creative and rotating the drafts. I'll definitely be back. We started with the dough nuggets which are puffs of dough and make a good addictive starter especially for children as they are plain and good for sipping on pizza sauce. Tried a Dee dish sausage and spinach pizza - the toppings and sauce were good, but the crust was a little bland - wish it had some cornmeal or something to make it more flavorful. I need to try the Italian Beef and sausage combo sandwich next time, I do hope it's good. read more

This is the worst food ever everything was extremely raw the pizza dough was so raw it could not hold the food the calzone wasn't even cooked enough to cut it as you cut it it fell apart the dough was still wet on the inside we ordered fried mushrooms they showed up frozen to the point where they felt like they were defrosting and falling apart absolutely disgusting called the place for a refund or just to let them know how bad it was and they gave me a store credit like I'm going to go back there and order more food that's gonna make my family sick I do not recommend this place for anybody!!

I'm so grateful for Rosati's Pizza! We've been looking for a Chicago style deep dish pizza and was having difficulty finding a restaurant that offers this type of pizza near Carlsbad.

We will be returning patrons. read more

It was fine. Food was good, service was good. A lot of regulars hanging out during happy hour.

Great Italian Beef sandwiches! Been there several times for both dine in and takeout.

First time eating here. We've always on a daily pass by this place and have always wanted to try the food here. Finally stopped by on 10/16 for a bite. We started off with some appetizers, the cheese fries and wing. For the main dish we tried the Chicago style deep dish pizza. The cheese fries most likely will not order again. Tasted like the frozen type, a little old and stale, the cheese was cold and like a velveta taste so never again and plus I think $8 for a side of fries is a bit over priced. We also had the the wings, omg! The bomb! Ordered a large size and had them half hot and half BBQ. Very meaty for being wings was very impressed and surprised. Cooked/fried perfectly where the skin was crispy, just right. Both sauces where excellent and on top of that the sides of ranch was the right type of ranch if you know what I mean. We ordered the deep dish with pepperoni and sausage in the small size. We were impressed with the dish, very meaty with even and balanced toppings, the sauce was just the right amount, I couldn't complain. We would definitely come back for more wings and deep dish pizza. They also have many beers on tap to choose from. read more
