A few nights back, I enjoyed a delicious white mushroom and pepperoni pizza from Jobi in Leblon. Craving the same dish, I ordered the same pizza at Rosty. Unfortunately, the pizza lacked the same pop as the one I ate before. The main culprit is the cheese they used, which felt very heavy yet lacked flavor. The cheese was not melty or gooey, even though the pizza was served hot. The pepperoni also also too thick, leading to a bad combination with the cheese. I will say the pizza crust was nice and crispy, but sadly, could not save the dish.
The service was adequate, and the restaurant was clean. However, most of the surrounding restaurants also share these traits, so the poor pizza leads me to rate this as two stars. read more
