Rosati’s Pizza

I walked inside, ready to try this place out for the first time and was greeted by an empty counter. The tv in the lobby was up loud, so I’m guessing my attempts to make myself known weren’t heard by the staff but I decided to wait anyway and look over the menu. About 5 minutes later someone came out to the counter and asked if he could help me. When I asked about ordering a slice (which was the special they had listed on the whiteboard on their counter) he told me they didn’t have any. He made no attempt to apologize for me sitting in their dining room without being acknowledged for 5 minutes or the fact that they didn’t have the product they advertised. It wasn’t surprising to me that he made no attempt to keep my business when I left without ordering. Way to win over a new customer who lives in the neighborhood. Keep up the great customer service.

I’ve tried this place twice both times with mediocre results. The pizza is at best below average. The pizza was dry with poor quality ingredients. Don’t waste your money or time.

Place is awesome!!! Guy up front was super nice and friendly! Food is great! Found this place on Unilocal and will return.

We live in Gilbert, but the pizza is so good here that we drive all the way out here to eat! The owner and employees make this Rosati’s THE ONLY Rosati’s to eat at!

Ordered delivery. Took two hours to arrive. When I called to ask where it was, the employee was incredibly rude and defensive. He told me that there had been another order near my same location, so they kept my order sitting in order to deliver at the same time. Terrible customer service to start. When the food arrived, it was somewhat cold (obvious that it had been sitting)

Finally open again under new ownership!!! These new guys are fantastic and the pizza is amazing. They are from Chicago so the pizza is original. The sausage is very fresh, mushrooms are fresh and their service is unbeatable! Glad to see it’s finally doing well.

The new owner Danny is awesome, very helpful and super friendly! He is on top of things and goes above and beyond. The best customer service I have experienced. The pizza is very tasty. 5 stars all the way, 6 if I could!!!

HORRIBLE DEEP DISH PIZZA. Go to Spinato’s, Oregeno’s or Rosati’s at Shea & Scottsdale. This location has had tons of time to get it right, and the new owner is just the old owner’s son… they open, they close, they open they close… same bad pizza!
Geeez, figure out the deep dish! I was just in Naples, FL this week and THEIRS was great! Yours was soggy and under cooked. Why does this location struggle with each new Owner or is the owner and staff always the same?
Seriously you are the only location that can’t get it done right. It is worth the drive to Scottsdale and Shea for 2 reasons: 1) Will this location be open? 2) How bad will the pizza be… AGAIN?

Ask for Danny! He’s so cool! Really tasty crispy gluten free crust. They have a program running right now to feed hungry kids too. Love that! When we came in we got treated like family. They use awesome ingredients and they don’t skimp! Not much else to say! Another day in pizza paradise.

We were ecstatic that Rosati’s east Scottsdale is back! Ordered a classic combo thin crust tonight (yeah, we love their deep dish, but weren’t in the mood tonight). Plenty of real mozzarella and toppings. We also got penne pasta with Italian sausage. Rich tangy tomato sauce seasoned perfectly, with ample tasty sausage. Took about 40 minutes to arrive, when they promised 35 to 45 minutes – and everything was hot. We also love Streets of New York, but will definitely be splitting our business between the two depending on how we feel! Congrats on a great re-​opening!

New owners as of April. Grand opening and the pizza is awesome these guys are from chicago and know what they are doing when it comes to pizza. They have a new phone number 480−551−7000 call for delivery or pick up, its right by mountainside fitness on 116^th and shea.

Turns out this location is closed and re-​opening soon. Old phone number circulating doesn’t work.

I got the chicago pizza and it far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely go here again. The staff is very friendly as well.

We have had pizza delivered a few times, and we’ve loved everything we have tried. The 18″ pizza is huge and they are always quick on delivery.

Ive tried this place twice and both times I wasn’t impressed at all.
1^st time I had the mozzarella sticks: average frozen fried kind, ravioli with meat sauce meatballs and sausage: the sauce tasted a little burnt to me and everything else was good
2^nd time I had
«Jumbo» (actually normal sized) wings, which were good I asked for ranch they sent blue cheese, a meatball hero w/​fries: asked for lite on the sauce they used a lot the way they melt the cheese left most of it on the foil and not the hero the bun seems a little stale and again that burnt sauce taste, I also ordered the deep dish chocolate cookie with ice cream, now I realize this was delivery so I wasn’t expecting much of the ice cream but it arrived very much in tact the only issue was the freezer burn (seemed the ice cream is portioned out and refrozen) and the cookie was a little hard but very good.
I still rate it average as the food was OK and everything arrived in time and hot.

Rosati’s is great– their menu offers a lot and their pizza is amazing! The new owners are very nice and I am always very satisfied when I order from them. I’ve been to the other Rosati’s and this is by far the best one! Definitely will continue to come here for a long time!

We’ve picked up a pie from Rosati’s two times now — both sausage and both quite delicious.
The sausage is ground, but has a lot of flavor.
The pie is sliced into little squares — which my husband, from Chicago, LOVES.
The do deliver, but we like to go for a little ride and pick it up. The place is in an odd kind of out-​of-​the way strip mall off of 116^th. There are a couple of tables there, nothing fancy, it’s clean (one thing you kind of worry about with delivery only places).
The gal at the front counter both times has been very nice.
Highly suggest you give this place a try!

Finally, a «Chicago style» pizza joint that actually tastes like Chicago pizza!
I am a true Chicagoan (not the suburbs) living here in Phoenix and made it my mission to find great pizza in AZ. Since living here I’ve tried lots of pizza, but none moved me as much as Rosati’s. Contrary to popular belief, «Chicago style» pizza is not just deep dish pan pizza, it can be thin crust and delicious. My sister and I split the thin crust (onion, mushroom, green bell pepper) and it reminded us so much of home. Now all you need to do is open a restaurant in Central Phoenix.

I wish that I could have given a better review. The other Rosati’s on Scottsdale Rd and Shea had great reviews and had pictures of the pie’s that seemed really appealing. The one in particular looked like a Chicago style with the sauce on top. Lots of red sauce seemed like home to me so I decided to give this a shot.
I ordered and got the pan which I was told was the right one. I showed up 25 minutes later and it was ready for me. There was a sweet young girl working there and I think her boyfriend was hanging out at the counter too. They were both young kids that seemed like they could be a little rough (like I was at that age), and I thought that the average patron might be intimidated by this. But to me it reminded me of a Rosati’s that I grew up near outside of Chicago. The employees always had their friends hanging around smoking and playing video games. And this experience seemed like a walk down memory lane.
So I get the za and its huge. Much bigger than I thought, but whose gonna complain about that? Not me… that’s for sure. But when I opened it it was just a giant pan of cheese. Not only was there not a hint of red sauce on the top, there was exceptionally little within the pie. And the truth is that the cheese was really quite overwhelming. Especially with very little to counter it other than the ingredients.
Crust was decent. To be honest, it would’ve been quite good had there been just a little less cheese and a sizeable portion of marinara. If you read their competitors reviews the ones that always seem to score big points do so because of sauce. So you’d think that they would use more or at least use enough that the average Chicago guy would be happy with it.
We ate about half and (this is horrible, I know) we threw the rest out. We never do that. But our guts were overwhelmed with the cheese and grease and it wasn’t worth it to eat it as left overs. It just plain wasnt good enough.
Oh well. Maybe we will try it again and remember how to tell them that we want it. It could be good… but the way that they seem to make it without instructions really would never make the grade back home. And it isn’t «The water»…

+++++++++ NEW OWNERS +++++++++
Carried out a few days ago … Pizza was GOOD … In Fact Very Good.
The same was also true of previous «New Owners»
********Will they stay involved or be another absentee Franchisee ??? **********
Lets hope they studied the Downfall of their Predecessors …
If not … then they’ll also be … turning the ovens off in a year.
The first bad pizza … I’ll complain to them.
The second bad pie … will be my last.
