| - 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.
