Rosie's Pizza of Middletown — Restaurant in Middletown Township

I feel compelled to write a review due to the onslaught of negative reviews for this wonderful pizzeria.

In my Italian and pizza obsessed opinion, this place has the best pizza around. The ingredients they use are high end, the dough they use is airy, light, and thin.

Their square is light and fluffy while still maintaining a crispy bottom crust. Their round pies are AMAZING. I usually get the Cheese, Roni, or Meatball pizza.

Before their Middletown location opened and When I was not at the shore, I happily drove 40 minutes to get their Pizza at their original PPB location. I am happy to now cut that time in half. I am a pizza snob and will refuse to get pizza from most of the local places due to how amazing Rosie’s pizza is. It’s not worth the calories to me to get pizza from anywhere else. I’ve been a fan since they opened in PPB and I am more of a fan due to this new Middletown location.

When I first started ordering from Rosie’s there were times that I would be frustrated due to not being able to place an order (due to selling out of pizza/dough), or simply due to late time slots only being available (this is a great sign), but I understand that due to the effort and time it takes to make these pies, they simply cannot mass produce them when compared to the lesser-quality ingredient local spots that you may be able to walk into and grab a slice. That being said, after learning their system (how to order), and how to plan ordering ahead of time, I am happy to say that my ordering experience is beyond satisfied.

I have no ownership in this company (but I wish I did), so I can honestly say that once you learn the way they work, it will be much easier to order and enjoy your pizza.

If you’re thinking about giving them a shot, please do. As someone who is a huge pizza snob, this place...

Truthfully, I do not understand how this place is not swimming in 5 star reviews.

When I type the word “passion” I want you to imagine all of emotions and decisions that go into putting your all into something day in and day out. That passion for the craft, quality, look, and feel of perfection is what describes this place.

The pizza is amazing, perfectly thin, light cheese, a nice deeply flavorful sauce that is not sweet and has that natural tomato tang, with a crunchy yet bendable crust. Every part of the pizza is good, even the crust!

The meatballs are genuinely some of the best I have ever tasted, the tomato sauce is just perfect really. Amazing richness in dense but not fatty meatball, great flavor overall.

The guys up front are incredibly respectful and patient, they want to serve you in a way that is beyond the satisfaction of the pizza. Which is saying something because the pizza is that good.

Overall, it’s impressive how much time and effort goes into the freshness of the ingredients, cleanliness of the establishment (literally spotless!), and the feel of quality in such a small menu. The smaller the menu the easier it is to perfect your craft!

The owner is a great guy with wonderful stories, one day you should all stop,...

Big fan of Rosie's in the original location and happy that they opened a second location closer to my neighborhood. Food is great! Best pizza in the greater Middletown Area by far. Be prepared / research the ordering system.....while some will understandably be turned off by it because it prevents them from an ultra convenient unplanned out pizza on a whim type experience, it is definitely a system put in place to ensure that you are served the highest quality of food. The Middletown location is still new and working out understandable growing pains / kinks, but other than the occasional overcooked undercarriage (an occupational hazard when you strive for the perfect crispy leopard spotted undercarriage) they are truly serving the best pizza in the area by far.

If you want a fast, convenient, average pizza, there are certainly plenty of other pizza establishments in the area that do that well. If you want way above average pizza in the immediate area, then get with Rosie's program, be understanding, and reap the rewards of their hard efforts to bring you...
