Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Pizza below average, service and management bad. Ordered a thin crust sausage pizza and the flavor was lackluster to say the least. The dough did not seem as if it was cooked all the way. The sausage was alright, but the chewy dough didn't help the overall flavor. Also, when I bit down into my pizza, I bit into a piece of plastic. I informed the girl at the register about this plastic, and her response was just "i'm sorry". Not getting the manager and no show of concern. The overall lack of concern regarding that fact that I just bit into a large (about 2 square inch) piece of plastic perplexed me. I am usually a Rosati's fan, but not of this location.

Tasty pizza. Great selection on their menu with a ton of diversity ranging from wings to pasta to salads and pizza. Their best pizza is their thin crust. If you want deep dish go with Papa Dels. Boneless wings are quite tasty. They're high quality chicken and you get a lot for your $. Delivery is prompt (even tho they will say it takes 1 hour) usually around 30 minutes. Nice place to eat-in at and good for groups. Try this out if you are looking for a solid food spot with tasty grub!

I don't know why people think Papa Del's is so great. I had never had Rosati's because people said that Papa Del's is so much better. Well, they were wrong. Rosati's deep dish sauce is phenomenal and I have never had so much cheese on a pizza! They are so much better than Papa Del's. I have had Papa Del's at lest ten times and Rosati's once. I will never have Papa Del's again.

Good pizza, great service. Delivered the wrong pizza. I gave them a call, wasn't a jerk and neither were they. Came back out with the right order in less than 15 minutes. Let me keep the first order. Score! Good thin crust. Also surprisingly decent burgers. If you feel like gorging, their Chicago style will leave you feeling bloated and lethargic (like a good pizza should). They use frozen spinach, not that I'm complaining. Just a heads up. Most, if not all, pizzas come with a shake of Italian seasoning on top. Yum!

Took me 1 hour to get a fish sandwich(they told me it would only take 20 minutes) ridiculous!!!!!!!
(1)Brian W.
Best thin crust pizza in this area. There are several pizza places near campus but this one is the closest place that has good chicago pizza and it reminds me of pizza back home (near chicago)
(5)Helen H.
I'm not familiar with Chicago-styled pizza.. but whatever the case, I love the warm carby and cheesy feel of Rosati's pizza in my mouth. They give an unusually amount of cheese that I can feel my arteries clogging, but I'm not complaining! I think overall it deserves more credit than it's gotten! They seem to have a decent pasta entree menu too!

Great Chicago pizza, now available in champaign. Thin and thick crust are outstanding.
(5)Mustafa D.
Calzone is just awesome. Pizza's are great as well
(5)Yanhua S.
i love their garlic bread and salad, so fresh. It is also good for catering. We order it for group of 20!people . Most are very happy with it
(4)Vitalya R.
This is the second time I came in and I'm so surprised by how the staff was. Last time I got a half and half pizza. And it was amazing. Today they don't make it at all. Their menu apparently changes depending on the flow of the place. Although on their menu it says " u dream it we build it". I guess not. First time I went it was Amazing!!! Delish!!!! We love the pizza. Pricey but oh so yummy.

Saturday night pizza craving + my calorie-based diet cheat day + a little drinking = ordering way too much delivery food than I should have. I didn't feel like getting a Papa John's or Pizza Hut-esque pie despite how cheap they are, so I checked out Rosati's website for coupons and what kind of 'za I could get for myself. I settled on a 12'' half cheese and half pepperoni/sausage with the "double dough" crust, plus a half pound of boneless wings, and a coupon for free delivery. Yes, this was way too much grub for 1 sane person, but I was hungry and had leftovers for the next day. Delivery took a very long and hunger-stricken hour and 15 minutes from the time of order, which even for a Saturday seemed a bit long, especially considering the place is less than a mile from my place. I probably should have just walked there and picked it up..... The pizza wasn't bad! It is really thick though and I was wishing I would have gotten the classic thin crust (oops!). Thick cheese on the other hand, is always good in my book! But I felt that there could have been more sauce, too. As you can tell from the picture, Rosati's puts the toppings underneath the cheese, which is honestly kind of a pet peeve of mine because you can't really tell how much meat is on there, or where it is on the pizza in some cases! Either way, not bad compared to Domino's/Papa John's whose "meats" are of questionable substance and taste. Overall not a bad pie but probably not the best or my favorite on campus, either. Strangely enough, I actually really enjoyed the boneless wings! Who would have thought that a decent place to get wings on campus was Rosati's? Not me! They come by the weight and I ordered 1/2 pound which was about 5 giant boneless wings. I got them with the chipotle sauce which was flavorful and adequately spicy. A lot of pizza place wings can be really dry on the inside and be the size of Ping-Pong balls, but these were pretty moist, had a nice breading on them and were nearly the size of billiard balls! I would order these again! What really made this only a 3/5 experience was the price. Rosati's is comparably expensive to some of the local pizza spots, my whole order was ~$21 including free delivery but excluding tip. Most of the coupons on the website don't give you more than $1 or $2 off, so this was without question a pricey pie and wings night.

The pizza by the slice is bad if you ask me, very thick, and consisting mostly of blandish sourdough -like crust. Like a flat loaf of white bread with prego and some melted string cheese. The italian beef ain't bad but it's not exactly spicy either - Dom's is currently my pick to click considering the sad state of italian beef in champaign.
(2)Andrea K.
Seriously. Pretty good food, but the amount of time you have to wait, whether pick up or carry out, is INSANE! Ordered dinner from GrubHub at 8:00. Still waiting at 9:15, which is ridiculous, even IF they have to kill the cow to make the meat and cheese. Get it together---your food's really not THAT good.
(2)Don L.
We stopped at the Ramada Inn Urbana, Illinois and couldn't go out to eat. Called Rosati's and ordered the Rosati's Monster, thin crust. Awesome pizza. One of the best pizzas we have had ever. A small feeds two easily, the toppings are piled on but don't overpower the sauce or the crisp crust. Wish we had them in Minnesota!

The best stuffed pizza in town! This place has a giant menu, and I've tried some of the random things on it, but really it only has to have two things: 1. Their slice special (different type of pizza every day of the week. For example Tuesdays and Fridays are Meatza). You get a slice of pizza and a drink for $5. 2. Their stuffed pizza. Don't make the mistake of getting the "Chicago Style Deep Dish" pizza. It's not the slice of heaven that you are looking for. "Stuffed" is the name they give to their real Chicago style delight. I think it is hands down the best in this town. The only downside is that it is almost twice as expensive as Amano's, but if you are trying to impress someone, Amano's just won't do. The other stuff on the menu is ok. Some of it is interesting (their stuffed cheeseburgers are rather unique), but it's all standard fare things. For those who have visited other Rosati's, this place is probably different than the others. For example, the one in Bloomington, IL is a sit-down restaurant, where you tip the server. The one in Normal, IL is a to go only shop. This is squarely in the middle. They have a fairly large seating area, but there's no service provided. They give you paper cups/plates, and you get your own drinks. If you need anything else, you have to go up to the counter and ask for it. The TVs at this place aren't huge, but if you go during a Cubs game or Bears game, they're always tuned to that station, and the sound is turned on. It's a pretty nice spot to watch part of a game and eat a bit of pizza. The pictures on the walls are mostly Chicago landmarks, and really add to the feel. I've never lived in the Chicago area, but for those who are from that area, this will definitely make you feel a bit like you are home.

I was delighted to discover a Rosati's existed in the C-U area since I grew up eating it! I can hand's down say this is the best pizza in the C-U area! I've always had good customer service when I've been there, so it may be a hit or miss situation! The last time I went I got a thin crust pizza and cheesy garlic bread--the garlic bread was a sub roll with baked cheese on top, so my advice is to stick with pizza or other simple apps like fries. Definitely coming back!
(5)Daniel R.
Pizza was nasty, soggy, floppy, oily.
(2)Melissa M.
There is a hierarchy of greasiness among CU pizza places. I never thought Antonio's would be beaten. Unfortunately, Rosati's has managed the feat. I realize it's a new place, but the pizza by the slice is greasy enough to detract from any deliciousness. I thought I'd try their other dishes to give them another chance, but they weren't much better. Salads are made of the cheapest greens, the marinara sauce was watery and over-acidic...and horrors of horrors the garlic bread was both devoid of garlic and had a lovely microwave-petrified texture. I won't go here again.

First of all, I freely admit that I am a huge Papa Del's fan. However, I'm always in search of other great Chicago-style pizza in the Chambana area as well, so I decided to give Rosati's a try after reading some decent reviews and seeing a few pictures of their deep-dish pizzas online. Unfortunately, my Rosati's experience was mostly disappointing. First, my friend and I arrived at the restaurant and ordered a medium deep dish pizza and two drinks for dine in (about $20 in total). We were then given cheap Styrofoam cups, paper/plastic plates, and plastic utensils. I'm sorry, but if Rosati's is going to offer a dine in service, they should at least provide better quality utensils, glasses, plates, etc. (especially since deep dish pizza is very messy and can be hard to cut- even with proper silverwear). About 40 minutes later, our pizza was brought out to our table. The wait time wasn't really an issue- I'm used to that from Papa Del's. Great Chicago style pizza takes time to make... unfortunately the pizza we received from Rosati's was less than great. In fact, it was probably the greasiest pizza I have ever attempted to eat. Also, the cheese and sauce both had an artificial taste (reminded me a bit of Pizza Hut- aka far from 'natural'-tasting ingredients). The best thing the pizza had going for it was the crust- which was comparable to Papa Del's and traditional Chicago-style pizza in general. However, that wasn't enough to save it from the grease overload and artificial taste that made my friend and I give up after eating one piece each. So yeah, Rosati's was not for me. If you decide to give it a try, I wouldn't recommend dining in due to the poor quality utensils (though the dining environment itself is alright). When it comes to the pizza itself, expect A LOT of grease and a taste that doesn't quite match real Chicago-style pizza (though the crust is close).
(2)Lauren L.
I am shocked by all the mediocre reviews for Rosati's so I had to chime in. I love pizza, I've eaten at every pizza place in Champaign, Chicago, the suburbs, you name it- as far as the C-U goes, this is best you can get. I am only speaking to the thin crust though, I've never had the deep dish. I have had it delvered and picked up and it is always a pleasure to deal with the people there. The last time they had a mix up and I had to wait an extra five minutes for my pizza. The manager came out and apologized profusely, offered to have it delivered to me and gave me a coupon for a free pizza. On top of that, the guy who messed up the order came out and personally apologized. You can't beat the service in my mind. The pizza is true Chicago thin crust, cracker crust, good sweet sauce, and tons of cheese. Some of the other reviews didn't like the amount of cheese, but I think its perfect. Definitely give the place a try, you won't be disappointed.
(5)Brian P.
definitely mediocre.. This is the place I turn to around this area to replace my cravings for pizza, more specifically the Lou Malnati's deep dish. I only order on Mondays for the 50% off pizzas which makes it pretty legit. If you're not looking for high end taste but just a generally good pizza experience, it's the place to go. SO my story is that I go on Mondays, get a large pizza for 50% off, and just eat it for all my meals which last me til Wednesday. ~12-18$ for 3 days of meals isn't so bad. . . especially if I get sick of it by the last slice. Promptness is average. sometimes it runs longer though. I'd give it an extra 10-15 min after the estimated time.

After a year long hiatus because of some pizza that I had catered that tasted bland, I decided to try Rosati's again. This should go without saying but I've started using EatCU lately and they've got some pretty good deals for the food here. I got The EatCU daily steal with ten bucks of food for $5.. I was planning on getting something delivered but the gift card had to be used in-store so I decided to get lunch there with a friend today and I'm so glad I did. The ambience is great! I ordered a lasagna which, as the others commenters all agree, is more than good enough for one serving. The salad sucked and the breadsticks were ok but the lasagna made up for more than the flaws. My friend got a vegan pizza and they were more than accommodating with the preparation and it looked great. I would warn you that it seems like the workers like to leave right on time though because I came here at 10:59 last night and they said they were closed. Fortunately Merry Ann's on the corner is open 24/7!

I tried Rosati's for the first time yesterday. They have a 1/2 OFF ON TUESDAYS deal so I thought why not? I was not expecting much, after all this is Champaign-Urbana! I must say though that I was pleasantly surprised. I am a lover of thin crust and their Pepperoni Classic was very tasty. Mushrooms, gooey cheese, great crust,yummy sauce...what more do you need? Not bad at all for Champaign-Urbana! They are located on campus but it's summer now so it's completely void of c-brats. Lovely!!
(4)The P.
I give Rosati's props for having the best, albeit greasiest, deep dish pizza in town. I'd give them 4 stars but the pizza is SO heavy I often can only eat one piece without feeling a gut bomb the next morning.
(3)Erin Y.
Don't pick this place for the middle-o-road decent cheap pizza. Was craving lasagna and gave Rosati's a shot. OM Gobz super yum. Takes them up another star just for that alone! The bread stick and box of iceberg with one slice of cuke were kinda lame sauce. But enough lasagna for 2 meals at my appetite level. Their delivery has been always quick and reliable.
(4)Ashley R.
We can work long hours at my office, and there are lots of nights where we are hungry and cranky and need food NOW. Our Champaign native suggested Rosati's and we've ordered from there a few times. I really like the freshness of the ingredients, though there often is a bit too much cheese for me. The sauce is nice and thick and garlicky which I loved as well. Sadly, Rosati's is really expensive for Champaign, which makes it difficult to order often for us poor grad students, but it is really good. I'd almost hazard to say it's better than Papadel's. Blasphemy, I know.
(4)Tanisha E.
They have good pizza deals but the pizza is okay but what really disappointed was the italian beef. The sandwich was too small for the price they charged, which is unfortunate because it have pretty good flavor. The sauce on the pizza is bland as well and beside the crust everyone knows the sauce makes the pizza.

I ordered a lasagna which, as the others commenters all agree, is more than good enough for one serving. The salad sucked and the breadsticks were ok but the lasagna made up for more than the flaws. My friend got a vegan pizza and they were more than accommodating with the preparation and it looked great. I would warn you that it seems like the workers like to leave right on time though because I came here at 10:59 last night and they said they were closed. Fortunately Merry Ann's on the corner is open 24/7!

I tried Rosati's for the first time yesterday. They have a 1/2 OFF ON TUESDAYS deal so I thought why not? I was not expecting much, after all this is Champaign-Urbana! I must say though that I was pleasantly surprised. I am a lover of thin crust and their Pepperoni Classic was very tasty. Mushrooms, gooey cheese, great crust,yummy sauce...what more do you need? Not bad at all for Champaign-Urbana! They are located on campus but it's summer now so it's completely void of c-brats. Lovely!!

I give Rosati's props for having the best, albeit greasiest, deep dish pizza in town. I'd give them 4 stars but the pizza is SO heavy I often can only eat one piece without feeling a gut bomb the next morning.

Don't pick this place for the middle-o-road decent cheap pizza. Was craving lasagna and gave Rosati's a shot. OM Gobz super yum. Takes them up another star just for that alone! The bread stick and box of iceberg with one slice of cuke were kinda lame sauce. But enough lasagna for 2 meals at my appetite level. Their delivery has been always quick and reliable.

We can work long hours at my office, and there are lots of nights where we are hungry and cranky and need food NOW. Our Champaign native suggested Rosati's and we've ordered from there a few times. I really like the freshness of the ingredients, though there often is a bit too much cheese for me. The sauce is nice and thick and garlicky which I loved as well. Sadly, Rosati's is really expensive for Champaign, which makes it difficult to order often for us poor grad students, but it is really good. I'd almost hazard to say it's better than Papadel's. Blasphemy, I know.

They have good pizza deals but the pizza is okay but what really disappointed was the italian beef. The sandwich was too small for the price they charged, which is unfortunate because it have pretty good flavor. The sauce on the pizza is bland as well and beside the crust everyone knows the sauce makes the pizza.

I'm not familiar with Chicago-styled pizza.. but whatever the case, I love the warm carby and cheesy feel of Rosati's pizza in my mouth. They give an unusually amount of cheese that I can feel my arteries clogging, but I'm not complaining! I think overall it deserves more credit than it's gotten! They seem to have a decent pasta entree menu too!

Great Chicago pizza, now available in champaign. Thin and thick crust are outstanding.

The pizza by the slice is bad if you ask me, very thick, and consisting mostly of blandish sourdough -like crust. Like a flat loaf of white bread with prego and some melted string cheese. The italian beef ain't bad but it's not exactly spicy either - Dom's is currently my pick to click considering the sad state of italian beef in champaign.

There is a hierarchy of greasiness among CU pizza places. I never thought Antonio's would be beaten. Unfortunately, Rosati's has managed the feat. I realize it's a new place, but the pizza by the slice is greasy enough to detract from any deliciousness. I thought I'd try their other dishes to give them another chance, but they weren't much better. Salads are made of the cheapest greens, the marinara sauce was watery and over-acidic...and horrors of horrors the garlic bread was both devoid of garlic and had a lovely microwave-petrified texture. I won't go here again.
