    Do you know what it's like, when you've had a hard week, and you get home and maybe pour a glass of wine, and you think to yourself, pizza would be really good right now? That feeling you get when you realize, you gotta have it? All the cheese, all the fat, all the pepperoni, and the calories don't matter, the price doesn't matter, you just have to have some pizza? When I know I need to dive into a slice, or maybe more than a slice, I call Rosati's.

    I cant tell you about Rosati's whole menu, wide selection, or any of that stuff. When I gotta have it, I want a Pepperoni Pleaser pizza. So tonight, I called. I ordered. They said 45-60 minutes. They delivered early. The pizza was hot, fresh, spicy, and the cheese was just the right consistency. This is the life, I said to myself. When I absolutely have to have it, Rosati's delivers. Literally. They did. I ate. It was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!! Fabulous! I'm in hog heaven.

    Just what I needed, when I needed. I love living in Chicago.

    I mainly order from here becasue of the convenience rather than the taste.  The pizza is good, but not great.  I grew up on Rosatis and think this locations is somewhat sub-par compared to other locations.  

    The staff is friendly and they are always timely with my order.

    This place is pretty good. It's only a block away from my apartment so I've gotten the pleasure of enjoying some great pizza. I forget that pizza is a big deal in Chicago and that stuffed crust can mean deep dish. I ordered what I expected to be a stuffed crust pizza, but got a giant deep dish and I love deep dish so it was a welcome surprise. It was a 14 inch peperoni pizza for $25. Huge, yummy, and at a good price. They also have tons of other stuff on their menu like burgers, sandwiches, and ribs. Enjoy!

    BRING ME SOME 'ZA, I NEED MY FIX.

    Rosati's has become our go-to for pizza delivery. We are partial to the

    DOUBLE DOUGH

    It's regular pizza, but the crust is handrolled over itself, making a thicker, chewier crust. It's super delicious. They lay the cheese and toppins' on thick, as well. The mozzarella cheese sticks are also pretty awesome. Perfectly seasoned.

    We've only ever ordered delivery and it always gets to us within an hour.

    Ordered their Chicago style pizza this weekend, a bit blah. It had the double-dough hand-rolled edges, but was a bit on the thin side. I think I was expecting more deep-dish, so I'll give that a try next time. Still quality sauce / ingredients, it just wasn't my cup of tea with the Chicago style.

    My wife had a hamburger as she was skipping pizza, and it was a tad overcooked and rubbery. Stick with the pizza!

    Disgusting.  My friend wanted Bosco sticks, so we grub hubbed places that had them, and Rosati's was one of them.  Their pizza isn't edible and they deep fry their bosco sticks?  They take a concept as wonderful as cheese and bread and somehow make it gross, I don't even know how that's possible.

    One medium pizza between five girls and we only managed to eat one slice each.

    Tip:  Decide which order you're going to put things on the pie, and stick to it.  And when you screw up, and I call to complain, don't call me a liar.  

    pizza is't bad, but the service sucks.

    Pizza is my crack, and Rosati's is my latest pusher.

    I've lived near this Rosati's for years, yet never ordered from them. Perhaps due to my fear of strip malls. Lately I've been trying some new pizza joints, 'cause you can't order from CW Napkin all the time (despite their carrot cake), and Brandon H's review caught my eye. I did not get the double dough he suggested, but I did get the pan pizza.

    Come to papa.

    This is not the finest pizza in Chicago, but it's some damn fine pie. Most pizza places, something stands out -- the crust, the sauce, the toppings. None of those were exceptional, but all of them were above average, with the result that this was a really nicely balanced pizza. What did stand out, oddly enough, was the cheese. I don't know if their cheese is special, or if it just wasn't overpowered by the sauce, but that was some damn good cheese mix on that pie. And it held up beautifully to next day eating, both cold and reheated.

    Rosati's menu trumpets "Under New Management." I don't know when this change happened, but the new managers are putting out a fine product. Note: Monday nights, all pizzas are 15% off. How do you lose?

    Delivery time on a Wednesday night at 9pm - 20 MINUTES!! It could not have been faster if I went there to pick it up myself.

    Also, I tried their buffalo wings this time in the "dinner for two" special and they were hot, spicy, and delicious! The dinner for two option really is perfect for 18.99, no delivery charge!

    I'm pretty picky, being born and raised in New York, and very few pizza places live up to my expectations.

    Rosati's did.  The pizza was good and cut into triangles without me even having to ask (squares are for just that, squares).  The delivery took way less than Grub Hub said it would and the food was super hot when it got there.

    The pepperoni was a little overcooked though, but over all this place hits the spot. I mean, it's pizza and it's good. 'Nuff said.

    The first time I ordered from them was when I had fam in town. They were excited to try their deep dish and thin crust. However, they had twisted up the items and placed the wrong items on the wrong pizza. BUT we called and they made it right by giving us a credit.
    I just called to get the credit and they had it under my phone # so no issue! Plus the guy that answered was really nice and wanted to know what they had done wrong before. No attitude about receiving the credit, which has happened in the past w/ other places.
    I'd order again just because they were so nice!
    Ps-the pizza is good, too:)

    This is my favorite place to order pizza in the city.  I'll try some other places but I always go back.  Their thin crust pizza is delicious and their delivery is fast.  And to make it all even better they offer coupons.

    Yum!

    The Big Cheef sandwich is always tasty-- lots of yummy cheese and good beef-- and their thin crust pizza is good.  I usually steer away from the pepperoni because theirs tends to be a bit greasy, but overall, a great place to order from.  I will say that whoever is on their phones is the devil and will make you feel like punching babies...but it's worth it.

    Rosati's was my favorite pizza growing up as a kid.  So I was thrilled when I found out there was a Rosati's that delivered to my house!  

    It was tricky trying to figure out what to order as their online menu was hard to read.  Once I did get to it, I realized there weren't many choices.

    So we ordered salad and pizza.  The salad was gross.  The lettuce was not so fresh, cheap and had very few ingredients beyond lettuce.

    The pizza was pretty good.  Not exactly how I remembered it as a kid but good sauce, quarter-inch crust, and good cheese.  They cooked it perfectly which always helps!

    My husband didn't like the pizza so we'll probably stick with D'Ags.

    Rosati's is literally right next door to my work, so I've been there occasionally.  It's nothing special.  The pizza is decent, and cheap enough.  I'd never go out of my way to go there, but for less than 5 bucks (maybe even less than 4), you can get a slice and soda and that is something that I appreciate in a food establishment near my workplace.  But like I said, this isn't a place to go to get great pizza.  Come here if you're really hungry and want to fill up on average pizza for cheap.  I've done it before.  I'll probably do it again.

    I order from here all the time using grub hub and usually get it delivered, but tonight I decided to do pick up because I'm so close and my friend and I didn't feel like waiting an hour. When we got there the guy working remembered that I usually get delivery and whatnot and said he gave me the next size up! The pizza is awesome and the staff is obviously great. I love this place.

    I use to live right in the neighborhood and walk over from time to time to get a slice of pizza. This place always sell the best pizza and I never regretted buying from them! I never ordered from them so, I can't tell you how their delivery services are!

    One thing I do recommend that they should consider doing is always have a pan of Sausage, Pepperoni and all chesse ready at all times. It always sucks to have to wait for pizza when it isn't done. But believe me... It is always worth the wait!

    One last thing, if you do get a slice to go and you order two slices make sure not to place both pizza (in the pizza box) on top of each other. It is a GREAT chance the cardboard from the box can melt onto the pizza! My husband had that happen to him and he was very dissapointed because he ate more cardboard than cheese LOL!! Just FYI!

    I think some pizza places, especially Chicago ones, get caught up in making, well, Chicago style pizzas ... that being stuffed, and really lose the art of making quick, thin crust pizzas, which I'm more of a fan anyhow.  Rosatti's has it nailed, and delivers pretty quick.  We ordered 3 last night, and there had them there within 25 minutes.

    My boyfriend and I stopped into Rosati's just wanting a veggie sub. The very difficult to read menu didn't have any veggie subs (the only vegetarian option was pizza), so C asked if he could just get an Italian sub without any meat. He was informed that they didn't have any meat to put on the sub anyway. Not that we care if they don't have any meat, but that struck us as very odd. So the woman disappeared to the back for a few minutes. About five minutes later, she asked my boyfriend what kind of vegetables he would like on the sub, clearly indicating she hadn't even started it yet. Eventually, she returned with his veggie sub, about 15 minutes after we had initially walked in.  Overall, my boyfriend thought sub was pretty good, but the service and options leave a lot to be desired. We will not be going back to this pizzeria, for any reason.

    I would really rate this 2.5 stars but I could only rate full stars. Now let's get to the review. It's an ok pizza place, nothing special but not bad. It kind of reminded of a good frozen pizza, I know your thinking that's an oxymoron but that's why I rated it ok. The pizza has a good crust with bland cheese and a plain sauce. The service is good and the place is small. It does have a very small sitting area and is mainly a take out restaurant. As for the prices, it's about average. Note:They may have a bathroom but they are reluctant to let customers use it.

    I love you, Rosati's. Will you marry me? I've been ordering from them for years...I ordered from them when I lived in the burbs and I love that I can still order from them in the city. I always get the thin crust and it's always just the way I like it. Good ingredients, great crust, fresh and quickly delivered.The inside is a joint so just do delivery. I had one bad experience....completely my fault...I ordered anchovies on my pizza cuz I didn't want to take anyone's advice that it was just plain nasty....well it was...just plain nasty. They also have awesome cheesy beef sandwiches.

    Best pizza in Chicago!!  Get the double crust.  It's kinda expensive (upwards of $20 for an XL delivered), but it's worth every penny.  HUGE pieces, cut into squares so some have crust and some don't.  Everybody's happy!  You'll thank me.

    Not a big fan of their sauce, and their toppings/cheese are sorta bland. Service is great, but unfortunately it's about the only redeeming quality. Plus they seem to have a very rough time cutting pizzas for some reason. My last pizza was a thin crust, and was not cut in squares nor triangles. No my friends, I received diamonds. Quite possibly the strangest thing I've ever seen a pizza cut as. Some pizzas were literally smaller than a cracker, while one piece made up a quarter of the 18" pizza. Bizarre.

    my friend and i ordered a deep dish vegetarian specialty pizza from rosati's and were both pretty disappointed.  the toppings were sparse, the sauce mediocre, and it was priced the same as the finer pizzerias in chicago.  there are way too many fabulous places for pizza in chicago and this one had nothing unique and therefore my business will continue to be taken elsewhere.  sorry rosati's.

    Pizza is fabulous, sauce is divine and toppings are plentiful. HOWEVER, this place is a bit of a ripoff... $16.99 for a pizza BEFORE you add toppings at $1.60 a piece? It's delicious, but not THAT delicious.

    Live in Lakeview...usually eat pretty healthy but was craving some deepdish pizza... spent some time checking out the reviews on yelp and grubhub for a decent pizza spot near me. Ended up ordering the cheese and italian sausage deep dish pizza and it was amazing. Sauce was tangy, sausage was spicy..and it was delivered right in the time frame I was shown on grubhub. After I ordered I had to call back and make a slight change and the guy who answered was very sweet and didnt seem to mind at all. Def ordering again next time I get a pizza craving.
