| - I'm from New England. My dad was a pizza maker for 17 years. I make my own dough and prefer thin New York style pizza.
If all Rosati's made was deep dish Chicago Style pizza, I would give it 5 stars, and I don't usually give anyone 5 stars. The reason is because people on yelp 5 star places all the time, and you get ratings that are not accurate.
I love the deep dish. The pastry like crust, savory sauce, high quality cheese and toppings are what I call lasagna on bread. It's a beautiful product and what I think is worthy of being with the top pizza's I've ever tried.
So why the 3 stars?
I have tried the double dough and the thin and crispy and they are not even in the same league as a wal-mart or sam's club take and bake pizza.
SO DISSAPOINTING!
I ordered a veggie doubledough on one occasion and it was tasteless, soft and watery from all the veggies. I don't remember what I paid because I also had a deep dish with it and that made me forget all about the money I wasted on the DD.
Whats with the square cut on a round pizza? Can someone comment as to why they would cut a pizza that way? You get all these weird pieces that don't have any toppings on them. Weird......
Today I ordered their monster pizza thin and crispy XL size (18'') I asked for the wedge cut because the square cut really annoyed me, and took away from the quality of the product. This is like a supreme pizza with meat and veggies.
It looked good, but that's as far as it went. I ate one piece and was so disappointed I threw it away. The crust wasn't bad. crispy yes, but not enough salt in the dough. Kind of like a breadstick.
It had evidence of cornmeal which is a requirement for that style pizza.
Thin watery tart sauce, I could not taste one topping from the other. it was literally tasteless.
The sad part about this is I paid about $33 for this failure.
I have no problem paying 40 bucks for their large deep dish because it has proven itself every time I've ordered it.
I have also tried the lasagna and their antipasti salad both of which were not really anything worth trying again.
All in all I love Rosati's deep dish pizza, Please try it with your favorite bottle of wine and let the euphoria take over.
