Rosa Rosa Pizzeria

If you love brick oven pizza as much as I do, you will love this pizza! Finally got to stop by this past weekend and 2 of us got a couple slices and a slice of spaghetti pizza. We shared the slice of spaghetti pizza which is a carb dream. Get it on cheat day. Or get it whenever. It's really good. Comes with a little cup of sauce and their sauce is great. Crust on this pizza is amazing, makes me wish I still had a pizza oven. Super friendly staff, and love the mural and decor inside, just a cool local vibe. Can't wait to go back!

Rosa Rosa has amazing customer service to match their delicious pizza! My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here last year and this year for our anniversary, we came back and they made us a heart shaped pizza with candles and everything! The pizza is delicious, we love all the options and toppings and the customer service is outstanding. Thank you Rosa Rosa for helping make our first anniversary so special and sweet!

The power of social media made this visit possible for us. I was looking at hashtag lancasterpa to look for things to do in preparation for our trip to the theater there. This place had posted about their spaghetti pizza - something we in NC had never dreamed was possible much less tasted. One of my sons loves Italian food and so we had to try it while we were in town. We ordered the spaghetti pizza and another thing we had never heard of “bomber pizza” with cheesesteak inside the Stromboli part. It was all tasty and the bomber was my favorite. The atmosphere is very basic. The cashier was very engaging and had excellent eye contact, explained everything thoroughly and patiently and had a mysterious accent. 😊 We will never forget our first spaghetti pizza and this gem of a place. You have got to try it!

The wood burning pizza oven is a nice addition. The smell is amazing, unfortunately it did not make it into any of the food. Mozzarella Sticks were real, may have been pulled a minute too early from the fryer. Marinara was average. Buffalo Chix slice was decent weight but no flavor. Cheeseburger Sub was slightly below average. Too much bread, not enough meat or mayo & no seasoning to be found. Taped signage, stained ceiling tiles, cashier with no personality rounded out this ehhh experience.

Ordered a cheesesteak, and it was good-average. Bread was good but just average for the area. Then we ordered 2 cheese slices, a deluxe and spaghetti pizza. I've had spaghetti pizza, and this version was just average. If done right, it's delicious. This fell short. Very little sauce inside, which made it very dry. The deluxe slice was a huge disappointment. The onions, peppers, and mushrooms were barely cooked. I mentioned it to people working, and the just thanks then said it's cooked, and I had to explain and show them it was still raw. I threw the slice away. So the customer service was horrible. Very over rated for gimmicky pizza, but the taste is very lacking. I really wanted to like it but it was disappointing at every turn. I would rather have better quality then social media popular!!

Great place! We got delivery from here, and everything was great. I got the famous spaghetti pizza! - it was very good and unique. I also got the Rosa Rosa sub, and it was very good and fresh, filled with lots of veggies. Overall, food was great, and prices were reasonable. Great pizza shop in Lancaster!

First time here. We got the lancaster bomber and friends got the big mac bomber. Employees were very friendly and fast service. I gave it 4 stars because they use red uncooked onions in their cheese steak Stromboli. If it had cooked regular onions and peppers in it, I think it would be one of the best. I will go back to try something different for sure.

Fantastic crust sets Rosa Rosa apart - not to mention a classic atmosphere and happy staff. Sure the brisket and other bombers are delicious along with their amazing taco pizza, unique spaghetti pizza experience, or solid traditional styles. But doing the crust well makes a great experience no matter which direction you try.

We saw a reel about this bomber pizza on Instagram and tucked it away in our brains for the next time we were in the Lancaster area (we live in Pittsburgh) The restaurant itself is fairly rundown and old, but it seemed to be a popular place (more especially for college students). It is counter service with a variety of prepared foods ready to go for a slice or a pasta dish. We got the Lancaster bomber pizza which is half pizza and half Philly cheesesteak. The pizza side is pepperoni and sausage and the Stromboli side is steak and cheese. While it was a fun concept to try, it wasn't "knock your socks off good" haha! But for sure unique. We had plenty of leftovers and finished them up in our hotel that night. Worth a try if you like an interesting take on pizza!

This is a weekly tradition for my family. We go here every Tuesday night. The pizza is absolute top tier. Really good vegetarian options as well. The cheesesteaks are great, pizza by the slice, or a whole pie. It's all great and you can't go wrong. Casual counter service vibe which is ideal for my family with young children. Thanks guys!

We tried to go to Cabalar for dinner at 5:20 on a Sunday but they said 45 min wait for the food. We didn't have that kind of time, had to be elsewhere by 6:15. So we ended up at Rosa Rosa. We asked how long it would take for wrap and a slice. 5-10 mins tops so we ordered and ate here. The team is working hard in the kitchen. Lots of take out orders, customers dining in. We got 2 slices which came out very fast! My grilled buffalo chicken wrap came out a little later. Filled with big chunks of moist and flavorful chicken, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. I would have loved to try the Bomber pizza but we were running out of time and there were just 2 of us. We would have had so much food leftover. I also realize that spaghetti pizza is also popular here. Next time! Thank you for a quick dinner! It was delicious and got us to our event on time!

After learning about the vitality of this menu option in mid-2024, we told ourselves we'd come check it out the next time we were driving through Lancaster. We were traveling back through the area in mid-2025 and made it happen! The restaurant isn't terribly remarkable, though they do have some nice murals painted on the walls inside. It's counter service with some prepared pizzas that can be ordered by the slice. Otherwise you place orders and seat yourselves. Feels like a little bit of a dive, and I think I'd probably take a pizza to go next time, but for our purposes, eating in was the better option. The bomber comes in different configurations, but we got the "Lancaster" which comes with cheesesteak and a pepperoni and sausage pizza. The pie was ready in about ten minutes and was made to order so it came out piping hot. It was very easy to share and we had leftovers for dinner later that evening. Portions were generous, the marinara dipping sauce was great, and cheesesteak was thinly shaved and plentiful. I'd definitely get it again, but take it to go.

I first went to this place almost thirty years ago.When I was in college and fell in love with the spaghetti pie. Fast forward to visiting today and there it was, right on the corner of race and Harrisburg like I remembered. Internally, it's changed a little. They had a fire in twenty eighteen, but luckily came back roaring better than ever. Got some antipasto grilled zucchini and of course two slices of spaghetti pie I think I just stepped into a time machine and i'm eighteen again. This is a lancaster institution bon appetit!!

The food is excellent and I hope to try some dinner dishes we definitely will be back. It was really an awesome experience. Great customer service. And these days and times that sometimes hard to find. Fire.

Saw on traveling food show on TV, but will try to go if ever get out close to it, likely out East visiting the Philly area! GD I'm optimistic form what I saw of their specialty "Spaghetti Pizza", so I already gave it five stars! The owner appeared very passionate and if I remember correctly, it is a multi-generational family biz!!

Really great family owned Italian food restaurant. This place burned down from the wood fired over at one point, but the family rise like a phoenix from the ashes to rebuild their legacy. The pizza is awesome! We had wood fired thin crust, but they have thick crust as well as many other Italian family recipe favorites! The spaghetti pizza's a crowd favorite that is a carb load, but special to Rosa a Rosa. We also had the Gelato that is imported directly from Italy. It's amazing, and I had the tiramisu. We also had a fresh filled cannoli. So many people with smiling faces I'm here, and this is both the family staff and all the customers. It's also now a BYOB place. You must try it, you'll like it!

Saw this place on an Instagram post and immediately knew I had to try the cheesesteak bomber. Half pizza, half cheesesteak Stromboli! And it lived up to the hype. Pizza was great, Stromboli was great, also got a regular cheesesteak for someone in our party and that was great as well. Great ambiance, would definitely recommend trying it!

Went with a friend for lunch. We had the "Lancaster" -- half pizza and half Stromboli. The pizza had sausage and pepperoni, the stromboli was Philly cheesesteak inside. The pizza was good, but the stromboli was THE BEST I have ever had in my life. The dough was tasty and not too chewy or hard like many places. The tomato sauce we got with it was fresh and amazing. 5+ stars on the strength of this stromboli alone! The staff was kind and helpful as well. Highly recommend this place and sorry I didn't go there sooner.

Cheesesteak bomber was amaaaazing!!! We took it to-go and couldn't eat it for about 20-20 minutes and the stromboli part got a little soggy from the cheesesteak fillings but it was still delish. A quick refresh in the air fryer did the trick for the leftovers.

Very intriguing menu! I will definitely be back to try other things. Parking is tight and limited. There is a drive thru window for pickups. There is a cute little Italian shop of foods from Italy. We got the pizza and Stromboli combination and it was good, but would order regular pizza and Stromboli separately next time just because the pizza slices were so weird. The spaghetti pizza was amazing. Very hopping place, probably because being so close to the college campus.

We came here on a Saturday and for lunch and it was pretty busy with some teams. It was a pretty loud environment. Really, I don't have much to say that is positive except that the food was edible. We ordered a chef salad and a medium Tuscan pizza. The chef salad was nothing special... some barely fresh iceburg lettuce and some turkey and ham rolls. Also... pickles? Strange. Anyways, the pizza was not great. It didn't have red sauce, which I think should be stated on the menu. It also managed to be dry and yet greasy at the same time. That was pretty special. All in all a disappointment. It was way over priced and absolutely mediocre at best. Tried it. One and done.

Decent pizza place! Especially for delivery. Chicken cheesesteak is good with lots of meat, baby! Buffalo chicken pizza was ok, could use a little more flavor and crust was doughy. Great Italian dressing with my salad and actually gave me a good amount.

So I was so hyped on getting the bomber today man was I disappointed. I seen a video on lancaster online today and I was like wow I really want to try this looks good packed with meat and the pizza side look good as well. Sadly when I got it home. There was hardly any meat in the steak side. I guess all that was for the cameras. It's OK but, felt like it could have been better. Mine was smaller than what you seen on the video.

Atmosphere: clean and staff waited on us quickly. After having their Ziti I wish the inside was a little updated. Just a normal pizza looking place, but the foods so good they could upgrade. Food: our food came out promptly which is good cause we were hungry. I got the #3 wood fired pizza which was very good. A little balsamic would have been nice on it or pieces of garlic; just to pep it up more. The pizza crust was soo good! The next day it even tasted better. My husband got the Ziti...fantastic!!!! Ok, so I end up eating half his dinner. I would skip getting caprese, but I was warned before I got it but didn't think anything about it. They do have beer here too. Also, Fountain & bottled sodas too. Staff were so kind and warned us about the wet floor since they were cleaning up. Staff came out and chatted with us and cleaned up at the table, so sweet. I would come again!

Great service and attention to fixing a mix up with the order. Thank you for a great meal for my family!

When I was a little kid, my grandma used to take me here. Now she lost her vision and is homebound. I go to kind of relive nice moments with my grandma, who is not going to be around for long. The past few times I have gone, the male employees behind the counter, including one named Calvin, two very young ones, and an extremely unprofessional manager, would mock me after taking my order while making my food. They did this in Spanish, assuming I would not understand what they were saying (although I very well did). It made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, although I was in the establishment paying for very mediocre food and had been since I was eight years old. They would stand in a circle and make comments about me and cackle like hyenas, and then hand me my food expecting me to put money in their tip jar. Unless you have very thick skin and are fine being evaluated physically by the staff from behind the counter when you walk in, do not go. This makes me very sad, because this place has a deep connection to my family, but it is not the same since it burned down. The one worker Brandon, though, is lovely and seems to care very much about being kind to customers. All in all, the pizza is bad and the service is upsetting.

We would give Rosa Rosa Pizzeria on Harrisburg Avenue more stars if we could. The salads were fresh, the warm bread was delicious, and our baked ziti, chicken parm, and lasagna were delicious!! The cooks and wait staff are very humble and attentive.

We arrived to Lancaster late and asked our hotel concierge for a recommendation and ended up ordering take out from here. I had low expectations based on the photos of just pizza on Yelp, but I was happily surprised and would absolutely recommend this place! To start, the food was not overly seasoned and overly salted. They also had the best honey mustard, which is always a winner in my box. The lasagna was cheesy and the sauce was delicious. The chicken salad had the right amount of chicken and romaine lettuce, and some tomatoes and green peppers. It probably could have done with less onions. Chicken fingers were not overly battered and fried. The red pepper and spinach pizza was delicious. The pizza dough was soft and chewy. They quoted me 30 min and the food was ready upon arrival.

Absolutely one of the very best places for pizza, subs, and Italian entrees. Been going here for over 25+ years and has never let me down. The staff is always pleasant and fun. Thank you for outstanding service to our community.

I literally only come here for the spaghetti pie pizza because it's the best pizza on this planet hands down. I am so happy when I come to this place (I even went here for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend!). This is one of our date night spots and always will be. I hope this place continues to thrive and everyone tries their pizza!

This was my go-to spot since I've lived in the neighborhood. But the last couple not times we've been, it's fallen off. For example, I ordered a provolone sub with spinach, olives, etc. It was delivered with mounds of wet, overcooked spinach and whole black olives-unsliced. Who puts cooked spinach on a sub?Never mind it only had 2 slices of cheese. The small pizza looks like it slid around someone's backseat before being left on my doorstep. No thank you.

Great food and great service! We were just passing though after visiting Hersheypark and happened to stumble upon this place! They have other things beside pizza like chicken tenders, salads, and subs. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back when we are in the area!

Picked up pizza and onion rings, we did a plain pizza with pepperoni and green peppers! It was okay, nothing spectacular. We are unsure if we would order from here again just because of how average it tasted. We are thinking maybe their speciality pizzas would be better if we do try again.

For years we have gotten the spaghetti pizza that they are known for throughout Lancaster. Yesterday I ordered one and two slices of plain cheese pizza. Also extra sauce. Well, the spaghetti pizza was good, a bit small for a large one but not complaining because there was more than enough. I am not a fan so I got the cheese slices for me. Thus, my two star rating is for the plain cheese pizza slices. The slices were horrible, I suspect it was two slices left from lunchtime. Actually, I could not even eat them. The crust was so thin it tasted like cardboard, the sauce and cheese was hard and dried out. The order came to 39.60 plus tip... I expect better for that cost.

Buffalo chicken pizza was gas, however the taco pizza was probably the worst pizza i have ever had. Rosa had some really good hits and have some bad stuff. I recommend the buffalo chicken pizza

Great food, great service! This is our goto pizza night spot! Wings, Cheesesteaks, Calzones are some of our favorites. Thanks for you consistency.

Grand Re-Opening this weekend!! Hours are 5-10 p.m. for now. I'll take it!! This place has been closed for two years and they're finally back! A true neighborhood establishment. Renovations were much needed and now the space is updated, has better flow for ordering and looks beautiful. During the closure, the liquor license was sold and now is BYO. The booths have been removed and the back seating area is lighter and got a much needed face lift. The spaghetti pizza was just as I remembered! So happy to have them back!

Being disabled, nine out of ten times I will order to go. I ordered a large plain pizza and waited a very reasonable amount of time...maybe twenty five minutes or so. Let me tell you, I was in pizza heaven!! The crust has just the right amount of "bite", not too hard and not too soft. The pizza had just the right amount of cheese and tangy sauce without having to mop up oil all over the place. I called them to thank them for such a great pizza. Subsequent orders have been consistent in the first experience. You will not go wrong with Rosa Rosa! Buon apetit!

Have gotten subs and spaghetti pie recently. Always on time and very good! The Italian sub was lightly toasted, perfect bread and the best I have had.

The pizza here may not be the most mind-blowing in the world, but every college needs an affordable alternative to boring cafeteria food or a place to get food if one gets hungry (or hungover) after cafeteria hours, and My Place Pizza serves that purpose perfectly. Their specialty is the Spaghetti pizza (pictured in this post). I haven't personally tried it because it's too much carbs in one sitting for me, but I hear very good things about it from people who have eaten it and continue to get it regularly. I had their regular cheese slice (part of their $4.25 for 2 slices and a drink deal), mozzarella sticks, and caesar salad. All were very basic, but satisfying. Overall, good value to price ratio.

This is without a doubt the best pizza in Lancaster County. I understand everyone is pretty much partial to the pizza of their childhood - and I suppose I'm no different. This place was and is my "local". Sure the decor may have changed - but they now offer 3 places to order instead of 1. The lighting is brighter, the new brick oven is gorgeous, there are more places to sit - but the classics have not changed a bit. Believe me, I was worried/skeptical walking in with a 6-pack of Peroni and my friends and family in tow. Turns out the spaghetti pie is still the best of its kind anywhere that any of us has ever had. The specialty slices are still crispy on the bottom right out the oven - and the toppings are still fresh and of high quality. As a long time patron, I'm happy to see our crown jewel of pizza restaurants re-opened and thriving.

I came to find out how good the pizza was, and was not disappointed...it was very good...and I'm from Chicago so I'm a tough critic. Staff were extremely kind and attentive even though it was busy. I will definitely recommend and be back for more when I return to Lancaster!

After a long day of digging graves in the shallow Lancaster County sun, there is no finer reward than a slice from Rosa Rosa (or "My Place" as referenced by its most endearing patrons). You come from the 'sghetters pizza, which is #1 in the area by a landslide, but keep returning for the mouthwatering buffalo chicken and taco options. I am like a baby tortoise trudging my way through the moonlit beach towards my new oceanic home every time I make my way through My Place's doors and view the wide spread of slices that beckon me towards yet another savory experience. Not feeling pizza today? I cannot relate to you. However, they do offer subs-a-plenty and other Italian treats that will guarantee an audible moan of satisfaction upon consumption. Rosa Rosa is in the top 5% of pizza-based establishments in the area. I was slightly disappointed that their liquor license had been sold upon reopening from their devastating fire (which Pizza Hut is most likely responsible for), but their BYOB policy quickly exited any unsure feelings of Rosa Rosa stepping down from their throne any time soon.

Best pizza in Lancaster! Real, authentic. This place is a gem. Spaghetti pizza is my favorite which is what they're famous for.

I am so happy that this place is open again after a long hiatus, post fire! I happen to LOVE hand-crafted rolls and most places make their own. Usually they are the somewhat flat type made with their pizza dough. Very tasty and I have nearly tried them all in Lancaster County. I won't bother to tell you who my favorites are or were!! I stopped into Rosa Rosa and for the first time I ordered a sub. When it came to me, I was floored. The roll was like nothing I had ever had before. It was a hand-crafted, lightly toasted, incredibly crusty, roll I have ever had in Lancaster County!! It took the sub to new levels and I relished every bite. I told management before I left about my experience and they were pleased as punch. If you want a totally satisfying sandwich, go to Rosa Rosa's!!

I waited 8 years to try this place again. The 2 brick oven pizzas I ordered were again sloppy and bland. Nothing like they used to be before 2010 give or take. They used to be amazing. I seriously doubt these were cooked in the brick oven as it is currently full of pizza boxes and debris. Honestly the best thing that has happened to Rosa Rosa in the last 15 years was the fire. They never should have reopened.

Not only is their normal pizza amazing, but they're spaghetti pizza is to die for! If you haven't had it already, I recommend getting it for your next get together.

ordered veggie pizza, the Broccoli and spinach used were of low quality and frozen, leaving the pizza mushy and soggy. please charge a dollar extra, but use fresh ingredients that are finely chopped. The chicken pizza had chicken pieces the size of nuggets. Again, please use smaller sizes, it will taste good as well. Dough was too thick. Could do better.

Fantastic food and service. We stop in on a regular basis to eat or for take out. Pizza, subs and their bread especially make this place one of the best in Lancaster. The new Italian Market they have offering treats and desserts, (gelato/ cannoli) is awesome

Over the past couple months I have eaten at Rosa Rosa three times. The first time I was quite impressed with the pizza and ranked it near the top of what is available in Lancaster. The second time we got subs; my Italian sub was very good, only slightly below Jersey Mike's in quality and taste. During my most recent visit, we ordered 2 wood-fired Margherita pizzas and a regular cheese with pepperoni. Although our order was relatively simple and there was not a huge crowd, after 45 minutes we had not been served. After politely inquiring I got the impression that our order may have been forgotten. About 10 minutes later the regular pizza came out and some time after that the Margherita pies came out. The regular round pizza was tasty and a bit doughy, with perfect pepperoni. But here's the thing-the Margherita pizzas were not cooked in the wood-fired oven! I am at a loss as to why this was the case since the wood oven was clearly in operation. The Margherita pizzas still tasted good, though not crispy or particularly hot. The version of this pie at Spring Hill Brewing Company on Hazel street is what you want to get. I have never had a quality control issue when getting it there; it is the exact same recipe and they always bring it out piping hot.

I went to this place thinking it was more of a sit down spot but it's not. Their website shows a nice seating area with fancy menus but that's not what I arrived to. It was your average run of the mill pizza joint. I almost left because I wanted something a little more formal but girl I was dating is a native to the area and said food was good so we stood. Overall it's not completely terrible but it's not fine dining, just a pizza joint. We ordered some stuff shells which came with salad and a bread basket at no extra charge other than the posted price for the stuff shells. Shells tasted really good and bread was actually tasty as well. This place isn't terrible so I'll just have to get over the initial shock that it wasn't a sit down type of establishment, until then my rating is 3 stars.

Awful awful awful. My children raved about this place because they get the spaghetti pizza, so I thought I'd try it. I ordered a mushroom pie. First of all, they didn't know what a pie was. Are you kidding me? The crust was crunchy and thin - couldn't be folded without cracking it first. The sauce tasted like ketchup. The mushrooms were yellow, canned, and were hardly there. I smiled at my boys as I choked down this atrocity. Never again. Lancaster needs a good pizza place as I've yet to find one.

Finally gave them another try since the re-opening. Wish I hadn't. First impression: Zero character. Also it's BYOB now, so basically exactly the same offerings as the other three pizza place I can see from their front door. Service: 15 people working there, none seem to have a clue what's going on... unless you ask them about the soccer game they are all watching. Food: I'd rather eat the box than eat their pizza again. It would taste nearly identical. Fries were ok. Mozz stix were undercooked and mealy. Last impression: nostalgia can be a powerful tool and will likely keep them afloat along with their location, but anyone who tell you their food is good is crazy. And if you walk in for old-times-sake you're going to be pretty disappointed in the bland interior you see now. I'd rather support a local biz but I'll choose Pats if I have to. Or better yet go a few blocks to Steel Peel, Antonio's, Dominion, Carusos... you get the idea.

We had good lasagne dinners & garlic bread. A bit of a wait, but food hot & delicious.

This place sure is popular.. ---------- FOOD: Everyone raves about the spaghetti pizza, which Ill admit is great, but dont forget that you can buy a loaf of bread too!. For 4$ you can get a loaf of fresh bread thats fantastic when you toast it and make garlic bread out of it. The New York style pizza is Ok (the thin stuff), Sicilian is better (the square stuff), and the Chicago is really good (the thick stuff). Sandwiches are often pretty tasty too, but theyve messed up my order now and again, so keep an eye on them. DECOR: Theyve been upgrading since they opened a few years back. It used to be pretty trashed thanks to the college kids, but now its in pretty good shape, with new decor being added all the time. At times it can be a little dirty, but overall its a pretty decent pizza shop. Sure, there are nicer and cleaner ones, but sometimes the food trumps decor. SERVICE: You come in, you get in line, you order. Thats it. Deviate and dont get waited on. Your choice. No wait staff, but they will bring your food to the table IF they arent busy. Otherwise, they call your order and you go get it. ---------- FINAL THOUGHT: Overall, its a nice place to go and get some eats. It can be pretty crowded, especially at lunch time. Even then, its pretty quick.

had to try the spaghetti Pizza, it was really good. And thankfully you can order by the slice since even a single slice is pretty much a meal

we ordered a pizza from here tonight and gave specific delivery instructions because we cannot access the front of our home. We were quoted 45 minutes and over an hour and ten minutes later, the driver showed up and parked in the front of our home. My husband reached out to her and the guy at Rosa Rosa again to explain that we need her to come to the road behind the house. The driver became beligerent and rude and stated "no. I have other deliveries to make!" Before speeding off in her car. After my husband reported her to the store, she came back and we refused the pizza. I'll never order food here again. Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS!
