As a brand of pizza, I've defended Rosati's to the moon and back. For the last few years I've enjoyed them just as much if not more than all the GiorMalnati's East imports receiving disproportionate attention. I love their sauce. I love the crust so thick and heavy it may have its own gravitational pull that keeps drawing me in.
But most of my experiences with this brand have just been picking up to-go orders. Now it came time to give it a try in a full-service sports bar. Some of my favorite pizza while watching a Cards game sounds amazing, after all.
But it really turned out to be a big fail here. I mean seriously, has management ever run a sports bar before? Here's what disliked.
-No TV out on the patio, something virtually every sports bar should have. What a bummer considering the *perfect* Fall weather.
-Sound was waaaay too quiet. I struggled to hear it from my table. When the game is on and most people are there to watch it, it NEEDS to be the center of attention.
-Food was meeeeh. Like, all the right ingredients were there, but I truly feel as though my pizza was undercooked. Was much better after taking it home and heating it up so that it wasn't all watery on the outside and doughy on the inside.
I mean, don't get me wrong...booze prices were SOLID. Service was cool. I'd maybe order a pizza from here to-go. But to hang out? eh...to catch the game? MEEEEEHHH, I have so many better options.
