Though Rosati’s competition often claims to serve the best Chicago pizza, those restaurants don’t hold themselves to our standards. Whether you’re a fan of classic pizza flavors like pepperoni or you’re looking for something more adventurous, Rosati’s Pizza downtown is the best in the city.
In this article, we’ll discuss why our premium ingredients, family friendly atmosphere, and late night options make Rosati’s Pizza the best in Chicago.
Rosati’s Slices are Made Fresh from Local Ingredients
Not all pizzas are created equal. Many of Rosati’s competitors use frozen ingredients that affect the flavor and quality of their pizza. Frozen dough, in particular, just doesn’t compare to freshly made dough since it usually lacks the light, airy texture of pizza made from scratch.
At Rosati’s Pizza, we’ve joined the farm-to-table movement, meaning we use only the freshest ingredients that are always locally sourced. This isn’t just for obvious items like vegetable toppings and tomato sauces but also for our cheeses, meats, and dough ingredients. We believe by using local ingredients in Rosati’s slices, we’re not only helping support farmers but also giving our customers the highest quality and best flavor possible.
Similarly, we make all our pizzas in-house because we believe quality should never be compromised. From hand-kneading our dough daily to crafting sauces with fresh herbs and spices, every step is done with care.
We Make the Best Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Deep dish pizza is baked in tall, round pans to create a thick crust that rises up along the edges. Kind of like a pie. It’s a Chicago favorite, but much of Rosati’s competition opts for generic, pre-made dough that lacks the texture needed to support the layers of toppings. Their crusts are often too dense, too dry, or worse—bland.
At Rosati’s Pizza, we use a slow baking process, which typically takes 30 minutes, giving our in-house crusts time to crisp up while the inside stays gooey and soft. We layer our Chicago deep dish pizzas with mozzarella cheese followed by toppings like sausage or vegetables, and finish with our signature tomato sauce on top.
We’re Open Late
While many of our competitors close their doors early, Rosati’s Pizza is open late! Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter, out with friends, or just in need of a midnight snack. We serve some of the best late night pizza in the Loop.
Our late night pizza dough is made fresh and baked on a traditional rotating pizza deck oven rather than a conveyer belt. Our sauces are made from a secret family recipe, and our toppings are always fresh and hot, even after midnight. Plus, our late night service is fast and reliable, so you’ll get great pizza served by friendly staff. Whenever the craving hits. We offer classic pizzas, vegetarian options, pizza for meat lovers, and more.
Rosati’s Pizza Offers a Wide Menu
When it comes to pizza, variety is key. Unfortunately, many of our competitors fall short by offering a limited menu, which means fewer options for you.
Rosati’s Pizza offers a wide selection of pizzas, including both thin crust and deep dish. Our signature thin crust can be topped with different combos of cheese, sauce, meats, and veggies. Depending on the style you order. We also serve deep dish pizza, baking those thick slices that Chicago is known for. Our deep dish pies feature a buttery crust with layers of cheese and tomato sauce.
As we learn more about Celiac disease and the benefits of eating vegetarian, we’ve seen an increase in the number of customers who are looking for vegetarian and gluten-free pizza options. We’re always striving to meet our customers’ needs, which is why we offer both. Our vegetarian pizzas are packed with fresh toppings like spinach, mushrooms, green peppers, and black olives, all piled over melted mozzarella and our signature sauce. For those with gluten sensitivities, we offer a gluten-free crust that’s just as satisfying as the original. Allowing everyone to enjoy their favorite pizza.
With customizable options, Rosati’s Pizza is here to make sure that everyone can enjoy a great slice of pizza. No matter their preferences.
Our Pizza by the Slice is Better than Rosati’s Competition
When it comes to enjoying pizza, flexibility matters. Unfortunately, many of our competitors fall short by refusing to offer pizza by the slice.
Rosati’s Pizza is not among them. Our classic pizza by the slice is the perfect choice for those who want a quick meal without having to order an entire pizza. It’s also great for those who love variety since you can sample different flavors and toppings in one visit. Best of all, it’s an easy option for people on the go. Whether you’re craving classic pizza or something like a veggie-loaded slice (or both!). Rosati’s Pizza by the slice puts the choice in your hands.
Rosati’s Pizza is Family Friendly
A great pizza experience is about more than just the food—it’s about the atmosphere. Unfortunately, many of our competitors miss the mark by creating stuffy, uninviting environments that aren’t family-friendly.
Rosati’s Pizza is the perfect spot for families. Our menu has options for all ages, from classic pizzas to kid-friendly favorites like mozzarella sticks and french fries. Our dining space is casual and comfortable for families of all sizes. Whether you’re dropping in for lunch or celebrating a special occasion. With generous portions, customizable pizzas, and a laid-back setting, Rosati’s Pizza welcomes you and your whole family to sit down and enjoy our pizzas.
