Rosati's Pizza

I just arrived in Chicago maybe three days ago, so I am not a native here. For dinner, I was taken to an authentic chicago-style pizza joint, at my request. Rosati's Pizza has a couple of locations throughout Chicago, it seems. I forget which one I went to.

I have had deep dish pizzas before, but they weren't authentic Chicago style. It was alright, truth be told. I was looking forward to trying this pizza because I heard good things about it. We waited for the pizza, and I tried it. It was a cheese/pepperoni/bacon/sausage pizza. The cheese was melted just right, and the crust was absolutely amazing. The sauce was unique and incredible, and the bacon tasted fresh. My dad wanted sausage (I'll eat it) and that was some monster sausage. The pizza was excellent; I've never tasted a flavor like it before, and after about 5 minutes of careful analysis, I reached a conclusion: Rosati's earns #1 on my list of pizza. Sorry Franks.

So if Rosati's happens to find this blog post, or someone looking to read about it does, that was a bangin' pizza you folks make here in Chicago. I have yet to taste more of Chicago, but that pizza, from crust to fresh ingredients, was well thought out and delicious. There was nothing artificial I could taste about that pizza- I could tell the sauce was made from fresh tomatoes, but the tomatoes were not invasive to the pizza whatsoever. I almost had a tear in my eye it was so good.

Thumbs up here. I'll be looking to have this pizza again.
