Rosa's Pizza — Restaurant in Texas

So went and finally got to try this place for the first time. Ordered over the phone thinking it will take a very long time for Chicago style stuffed pizza. Man on the phone was very knowledgeable about the menu and pretty friendly. I ordered a deep dish and a 19" thin crust (New York style) with just pepperoni and Italian sausage. Instead of chunks of sausage it was a link sliced thin like the pepperoni as the pictures show. I got a great cappuccino while I waited for a few more minutes for the food to be ready. Paid $47 for the 2 pies and my coffee. The stuffed pizza was not Chicago style and wasn't very deep. I got it like it offered in the menu standard with beef, spinach, fresh garlic and mozzarella. Beef had a little weird flavor and the marinara it came with was very thin compared to Brothers and Rosatis but still fresh made inhouse and pretty tasty. I will probably make them both into supremes next time. The crust of the thin crust was hard to chew. Not sure exactly why but think crusts everywhere I've been including PizzaHut have been crispy and crunchy and melt in your mouth in a way. This was a little chewy and hard. Will order that again before I reject the thin crust totally. The strip center was remodeled and the restuarant looked remodeled as well recently. Very clean inside and nice staff. I will try 2 more times at different hours to see how service and food hold up. I'm not ready to give it 5 stars yet but not displeased with the food or service. Located in the corner of the strip next to the rental place and the table tennis training spot bu Ephesus Grill. Give them a try and see what you think. I haven't finished forming my final...

The first time we tried this place it was good. We had a pepperoni pizza, garlic knots, and a Caesar salad. We explained to the owner that we had tried most if not all pizza places in the local area, and were hoping they would be like real NY pizza. The owners were very nice, the salad we could have passed on, the knots are small so get hard fast. The pizza (NY thin crust style) was excitingly good. We decided to go for a second try a week later and try their Sicilian style deep dish. With hopes that it would be just as good as the first pizza and wanting this to be our new pizza joint. Sadly, we will NEVER be back.... and not because of the cockroach that we found running on our table. (which we told the owner and asked to move tables) It was the deep dish pizza. It was one of the worst pizza and meals I have ever had. The bottom was an overcooked brown and was not crispy but hard. The dough did not rise to a fluff, but to a hard cake and the sauce did not taste like the week before pizza. We asked the owner why it was hard, only to be told that is how it is made and was not offered the option of them making another pizza deep or thin. If we had been offered another pizza, we would have accepted the remake and might have still considered them our pizzeria. Sadly, customer satisfaction was not a concern this evening and now they have lost customers that truly would have spoken highly of what would have been the closest pizzeria to being home in NY. Our search...

One thing about New Yorkers is we know GOOD PIZZA. I’ve lived in Katy for almost 10 years and have always been disappointed with the pizza in the Katy and Houston area. I just chalked it up as a loss that Texas doesn’t know good pizza until we found Rosa’s.

Rosa’s is the best pizza place in Texas by far. After taking one bite it brought me back to the neighborhood pizza shops in any of the 5 boroughs in NYC. They even sell pizza by the slice and you could actually fold the slice to eat it !!! I recommend Rosa’s to anyone and would give it more stars if I could. It is truly New York Pizza and they even have the real pizza ovens and not the conveyer belt like other so called pizza shops in Katy and Houston. They even have the huge wooden spatula to pick up the pies from the oven. The only thing missing is the ITALIAN ICES !

The other thing Houston doesn’t know anything about is good...
