Menu
The chain specializes in Chicago-style thin crust and double-dough crust, and also offers traditional Chicago deep dish and stuffed pizza, and offers other Italian dishes. Most of the items are made from scratch. Rosati's own small sausage plant supplies Chicago-area units, and outside vendors reproduce the family sausage recipe elsewhere.
Most Rosati's use deck slate ovens rather than conveyor ovens because Sam Rosati preferred the crust characteristics that deck ovens produce.
Stores
As of 2011 a typical franchise investment in the company would be around $250,000 per store, according to published figures. Rosati's main competition in the Chicago area consists of many smaller, family-owned pizzerias and some large ones including Nancy's, Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, Aurelio's, and Home Run Inn.
