#1 Rosati’s Pizza
- Offers dessert
- Has some vegetarian options
- Nice tourist spot
- Has a kid’s menu
It starts with their special sauce – it’s a blend of spices so unique and flavorful that I’m still puzzling over what exactly they put in there. They also top each pie-whether it be classic cheese, veggie, or one of the specialty pies-with fresh veggies, lots of gooey cheese, and just the right amount of meats and other toppings.
The crust is crunchy but not too burnt, which is something I haven’t seen too often outside Italy. The perfect ratio between dough and topping seems to come together like a symphony – it ain’t easy to do!
I’ve also sampled some of their specialty pizzas and surprisingly enough, they’re all really good! The Buffalo Chicken pizza was my favorite – covered with crispy fried chicken pieces, gooey blue cheese crumbles AND a drizzle of hot sauce – SO GOOD!
In terms of service, Rosati’s Pizza has been great every time I’ve come in. They always remember my order and make sure I get exactly what I’m looking for. All in all, it’s an amazing pizza experience that no one should miss out on.

The staff at Bellisario’s are also top notch. They are friendly, helpful and seem to genuinely care about making sure their customers have a great experience. And how could I forget the decor? The restaurant looks like it should be in Italy with its warm tones, checkered tablecloths and Italian murals on the walls.
