Rossini’s Pizzeria & Restaurant

We like Rossini’s very much, but have learned the place is too busy Friday nights for my personal patience level. I’ve ordered online and over the phone for takeout a number of times, and had food delivered once. Things can go a little south with the order: it’s not ready when I show up a little later than when I’m told, or they’ve got half the order ready but the rest hasn’t even been cooked yet. Weeknights are more successful. The pizza is solid, as are the chicken entrées we’ve had. The staff is earnest and tries hard, but the place seems to need slightly better management to keep things flowing smoothly. We’ll be loyal since the pizza is good enough, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised sometime by having everything turn out perfectly and on time.

$ 6.99 for kids Mac and Cheese meal… when it came, it was just Kraft! The chicken tenders were good, but the pizza was not (not enough sauce and undercooked). It was too expensive for the quality of food we received.

The best thin and crispy crusted pizza «east of…» I special ordered my stand by, pasta with olive oil and garlic. Received a gourmet portion at a gourmet price. Give me a break, peasant food at peasant prices. Get the pizza and enjoy.

The Rossini Supreme pizza is excellent, especially when you ask for the onions and green peppers to be thinly sliced and well done. The crust is very thin, and the flavor is superb. Best to eat in.

The food is nothing to write home about, so its even more of an insult that its exorbitantly overpriced! The furnishing is garish and it seems like the magnum opus of a very poor interior decorator.
Would not eat here again and I will not be recommending this place to my friends.

We get delivery from Rossini’s. The food quality is «fine» and I like how the pizza has a nice thin crust, but it’s overpriced for the amount of actual food you get. Sure it’s thin-​crust, but I feel like they’re skimping, and you pay $ 15 for $ 9 worth of food.

I’m really surprised by how many low reviews there are. This is my go to spot for calzones or fried ravioli. The calzones aren’t the kind that are super fried. Maybe that’s why Unilocalers don’t seem to like them. They’re made with thick soft delicious bread. Verry doughy. Imagine stuffing a dinner roll with cheese and whatever else. The rest of the menu that I’ve had is fine, lots of pasta options. Nice workers too.

I never write review but my experience here multiple times has been horrible so I felt that I needed too. It’s unfortunate that it’s the only place that delivers in concord or I wouldn’t have tried it twice. First off, this place is extremely expensive for the poor quality food. Second, I ordered a salad and it came with no cheese and dressing. I called to have someone bring them to me and I got attitude. Then the next time I ordered a calzone and the bread wasn’t even fully cooked, it was still raw. I called to get a new one delivered or my money back and the lady on the phone was extremely rude to me so she gave the phone to the manager and he told me that he can do something even better for me, «give me a credit for next time». No thanks, Im hungry right now. So he said he would have my money returned because that’s how they cook their calzones. Weird, didn’t know you served food not fully cooked. The only pleasant thing was the delivery boy who returned my money. He was very nice. Don’t bother with this place, save your money!

$ 25.00 for tip tax and a bland broccoli pizza was not what I was looking for on this night.

I used to frequently Rossini’s many years ago; not because the food or services was good, it wasn’t, but because I lived nearby and it was the closest thing around. The pizza looked delicious, however it was bland with crust that was too doughy. Given the wide choice of other local pizzerias, such as Sorentos, New London Style Pizza, Dino’s and Walden’s, I started going elsewhere for my pizza fix. A few weeks ago, I purchased a coupon on
to Rossini’s, figuring I’d bring the family for dinner and give them another try, but 3 days after I purchased the coupon, I received an email from
informing me that Rossini’s is no longer participating, and offering me an opportunity to exchange my coupon for one of equal value at another restaurant. While I will exchange the coupon, I’ll take a permanent pass on Rossini’s. If I had a coupon, I might go out of my way for Rossini’s, but otherwise no. I don’t mind paying for good food and service, but Rossini’s simply isn’t worth the trip, especially if you have to pay full price. Based on the number of negative reviews Rossini has received over the past few years and continues to receive, if this place is to survive and thrive, management really needs to pay attention to the customer comments and get its act together.

I just ask for delivery at Emerson Hospital, I’m really impress how fast and taste was my food, I really recommend Rossini’s Pizzeria!

Today I went in with my family at lunch and the food was great, a great price and excellent service all that we need in the area thanks…

Had a buffalo chicken wrap and a burger with fries. The food is good, but pricy considering other pizzerias in the area give you more for the same price. They do deliver which considering the lack of delivery in the area is huge.

I used to come to Rossini’s every blue moon with a group of old friends in the mid ’00’s, because they lived near by in a part of Concord that’s kind of separated from the rest of the town (9 Acre Corner). I don’t recall a bad experience from those days, but nothing too extraordinary either.
Since Papa Gino’s in Concord is long-​gone, Sorrentos and New London don’t deliver, and Domino’s…is just disgusting… this is the only pizza place that will deliver to my home.
I’ve noticed that the sauce is the biggest problem. It tastes like the cold marinara served in Lunchable’s: Make your own pizza. A.K.A. it tasted old, moldy, poor seasoning choices, and just flat out undesirable. I know that some people enjoy pizza with no sauce, but that is really the secret to a good pizza in my opinion.
When it comes to dining there… I like the location, and perhaps I am nostalgic to the old days, but when I’ve gone there recently, it’s been a disappointment.
The service I can’t really complain about, but because of the restaurant is set up you feel separated from catching the eye of a waiter. I get it, they had to work with the amount of space they could get in the building.
The fries are obviously frozen and extra crispy (not a fan) and taste so processed that I wouldn’t bother getting them again.
In the past, the pizza was okay (I liked pizza with caramelized onions) but still the sauce wasn’t that good.
They have potential to improve, but I feel like Rossini’s just doesn’t cut it now a days.
It might help to not serve baked pizza crust while you’re waiting for pizza.

I love reading Unilocal reviews and don’t often post my own unless they are really good or really bad. Unfortunately this one is bad. I ordered a calzone. It was undercooked, wasn’t what I ordered (they forgot the sauce) and there was a *gasp* HAIR in it. When I called to complain they told me if I brought it to them I could have store credit. I’m sorry I don’t want store credit. I don’t want to eat anything else from there ever again! Oh and they also argued with me about how it wasn’t their fault they forgot the sauce. Even though I requested it.

Sunday night is rough here, apparently. Arrived at 6 pm with four adults and two kids (ages 3 and 4). The first morsel of food arrived at 6:55 pm, a kid’s small pizza. Three more entrees arrived over the next half hour. I pointed out that this was a long time to wait for food with children and a staffer responded «Takeout orders are waiting 1.5 hours.» We finally gave up after about 1.5 hours, with two adults still not having received their entrees.
If they were really that busy why didn’t they tell us at 6 pm when we walked in? We could have driven to Cambridge, had a quick dinner, and driven back in the time that it took to get 2/​3rds of our group fed at Rossini’s.

I had a coupon that Rossini’s had placed in a calendar. Their coupon, their price, their expiration date. They wouldn’t honor it. They said they had increased their prices by a buck. So I paid an extra buck.
For bland pizza. With a bland salad. How can green olives possibly be bland? They were. The cheese on the salad was, well, not worthy of being called cheese. The highlight of the meal was the salad dressing, which obviously entered the restaurant in a jar.
An extra buck would not stop me from returning. Food this bland would stop me. There are a lot of pizza places in the area. This is perhaps the worst pizza, worst salad.

More of a pizzeria than restaurant, this is a very casual type of place but one that isn’t going to get you in and out in quick order. They do have slices but they don’t look appetizing at all. Their pizza has been fine but nothing was particularly interesting. Fairly bland sauce, doughy crust and a good amount of mozzarella cheese. They do have a lot of pizza toppings so if you’re particular in what you want on your pizza, you might enjoy this place. I didn’t care for the margherita pizza ($ 17.50 for a gourmet pizza), thought the bbq chicken pizza was ok, and didn’t like their basic cheese pizza. Don’t eat here for a quick bite. The pizza rightly takes a while to cook as it should. I was surprised one of the times I was here when one employee just left the pizza behind our tables and didn’t really say anything like a «here you go» so that’s kind of what you can expect for service.
I’ve also had their large chicken parm sandwich ($ 7) and didn’t care for it. The bread was very very soft. The chicken seemed like it was just a few fried chicken strips. And there was too much mozzarella cheese for me and not enough chicken. Their large sized sandwiches looked exactly like the medium but I was more disappointed in the quality of the sandwich. Not worth the price.
The service seems pretty abrupt and unfriendly. One good thing about their service is that they do provide a frosty glass when you order a beer and they’ve never had a problem giving me a separate check. The restaurant is has always been empty when I come in so take it for what it is.

We stopped by Rossini’s late on a Friday night after having driven up from Connecticut. We wanted warm pizza and we wanted it quickly. Instead, what we got was a bad attitude and a long wait. I would recommend folks stay away unless they want to wait a long time for mediocre pizza.
Service:
When we arrived, it took about 5 minutes before someone came to the cash register to take our order. Given the wide array of toppings and items on the menu, we asked the late-​to-​arrive cashier what she recommended. She lowered her head and said «Um, I don’t know. Just order.» As if this rudeness wasn’t enough, we asked her if we could sit in one of the booths; her response «I guess?»
Food:
Decent pizza. It was a tasty thin crust: the onions were caramelized before the pizza was baked (which tasted good), and the cheese didn’t taste manufactured. But, they added so many toppings that the pizza quickly became soggy.
I would not go back. There is a sit down place but the restaurant is a blast back to the early 80’s and not especially cozy. A renovation would help.

I know I live in NY (home of the slice) but every time I come home, it’s inevitable we’ll get a pie from Rossini’s.
In the summer, we cruise on over in my Mom’s convertible where an argument will always ensue in the parking lot about whether or not to leave the top down (my Mom thinks a «hooligan» is going to come by and dump a soda in the car. My Dad does not.) The place itself ain’t anything to write home about: it has about 6 booths and wood paneling but always has at least one family of locals chowing down and I like how they bring a pizza stand to the table so you don’t have to rearrange dishes and what-​not. In the winter, we get take out, because let’s be honest, it’s cold as balls over here!
For 3 – 4, I’d recommend a large pie — the Rossini Special if you like anchovies — and definitely the Greek Salad to even things out. And for a grand total of $ 28 (I nearly fainted when my Mom said how much it was), you definitely can’t go wrong!
