Rosa's Pizza

This is def a hole in the wall kinda place, as we would say in NY!! The NY pizza vibe was definitely there. I had myself 2 slices a pepperoni and an extra cheese... they definitely did not disappoint. I went in a Friday at about 115pm... the line wasn't too long, I waited about 10 minutes. I enjoyed my pizza and will be back!!

You cannot go wrong with this NY flavor like pizza in the heart of downtown ATL. It had been 10 years since my last time going and it's still excellent! It has such an organic feel and the pizza is delicious. Prices are in line with inflation but not horrendous. Friendly staff. Just know what you want to order before you get to the front of the line. Will certainly go again.

Gluten free pizza is put on the same racks as gluten pizza. If you have an severe allergy you may want to avoid. Atmosphere is like a NYC joint. Gluten Pizza slices are HUGE. The specials are reasonable and a good bang for your buck.

Rosa's has been a long-time favorite of mine. The restaurant staff is amazing. So attentive and friendly. I'm a GSU professor, and I like to buy my class pizza at the end of the semester, and it's always a hit.

I went into Rosa's pizza after being up all night starving. The staff greeted me warmly.even tho I walked in kind of demanding. When I calmed down and got my head together I was able to look at a menu of traditional Italian favorites. I ordered a slice and a calzone with a couple toppings. It was a very good slice and the calzone was packed with flavor. I couldn't even finish the calzone in one setting, as I chatted with a couple of the employees he told me they have been in business for 32 years. I can see why with great food like this.

Was lured in by the delicious pizza smell, and because of the huge pizza slices I only ordered 1 slice but I should have ordered 3, the pizza was so good. Definitely reminded me of the pizza I used to eat in NYC. Highly recommend. I will be back even if I have to drive out my way.

Happy I can be like Atlanta people enjoy the best pizza ever in town . Price are affordable and fast service. All pizza are made by order You can see a bunch of people waiting for lunch time

Ordered the 14" John's Heart Attack Special, and the small salad. Pizza had lots of toppings, flavorful, but just slightly greasy. We still enjoyed it, and would order again. Small salad can feed 3 people. It was really good, and comes with ranch and Italian dressings.

Fresh food and good pizza for a great price, all from a hole in the wall. What more could you ask for?

Solid and affordable NY style pizza spot in downtown! Walked to here from Centennial Park and enjoyed the quick bite. There's not much seating inside, so most people were taking it to-go. Pizza comes out HOT - wished the crust was a little firmer, especially towards the tip of the pizza because it was quite flimsy, but definitely hits the spot. They have other things besides pizza, like calzones and lasagna.

Legit, substantial slices of pizza, covered in respectable amounts of pepperoni. Kind of a local hole in the wall joint, just a few seats, seemed like a lot of to-go-- but service is just fast enough to be considered quick. If you are expecting the best in New York quality, maybe this isn't it, but for a local place, this is damned good.

lovee this pizza place!! crust was crispy outside, soft inside, just perfect. the cheese was melty and sooo gooood. toppings were fresh, and the sauce was rich and tasty. service was friendly but kinda slow. overall great pizza, will be back! 8.5/10

What happened to you my love, Rosa!?! You used to be some of the best NY pie in the city, but the last 2 visits have been horrible. The dough is dry and flavorless, the undercarriage is 3x thicker than it should be. I mean seriously 1/4 inch in thickness!? What is that all about? The sauce isn't the same sweet, loving taste we had before. Tastes generic and cheap. It doesn't even feel like the same pizza place I've been going to for years. Come back to us Rosa. Give us our thin, floppy, greasy NY pie we love so much.

Wow I haven't been to Rosa since college! And it did not disappoint. Glad that I was able to stop by. Serving sizes are still the same. It was definitely worth it. Clean, quick experience. With good service.

One of things about me is I love promoting a mom/pop business. I've heard all good things about Rosa's Pizza including their signature New York style pizza. Rosa's pizza slice is very large & filling. Since I was pretty hungry that day I got two slices. One with just plain cheese the other one with chicken, mushroom & spinach. I thought the spinach would be fresh but it appeared to already cooked spinach. It did compliment the pizza well so I had no issues with it. The food was good & the best replica of NY pizza. This place is a take out joint but there's seating in the back. For those coming here for the first time watch your surroundings, there's a bunch of homeless people who linger around the front asking customers to buy them food. I was almost a victim of this but I simply ignored the gentleman. This is a good spot for a good pizza.

This hole in the wall freaking rips. Fed 12 for like $50 of good pizza. Love it. Tons of seating downstairs too.

Pizza was excellent and the staff very friendly. Price point was good and the pizzas are big. Got it to go, so didn't eat in.

the pizza here is Excellent! great , fast service. the pizza is hot , fresh and delicious!!!!

Best pizza. Really that's all that needs to be written. If you want the greatest piece of pie anywhere. This. Is. It. Be ready with what you want in line. The length of the line might be intimidating, but don't worry, they'll take your order near the door and by the time you reach the front of the line your slices'll be ready. Did I mention they are the best?

If you are going to have a delivery order from Rosa's make sure it is earlier than 1230pm. Their pizza is great when it's hot. This is the second time I've ordered around 1pm and received an old inedible pizza. Grub Hub did refund my money - the pizza is in the garbage and now I have to find something to eat.

Health Department score of 84 with five violations. I was surprised there was not more!

We bought 20 or so pizzas for a student group. The ordering and payment process was smooth, the delivery was perfect and 5 minutes early. They called when they were on the way! The pizza was also very good. 60 happy students and chaperones!! They were also thoughtful and brought plates, forks, napkins, parm and red pepper flakes!!! Thank you Rosa's!!

Love Rosa's! If you are close by, then this is the spot to stop for lunch. I mean it is always a good time to eat pizza! It is good for for a VERY reasonable price. It is the only place that I can get a $3 lunch that tastes good and leaves me feeling full too! I always order just one slice of pepperoni for the past few years that I have been eating here. The NY-style slices they offer are huge and made fresh to order. It might appear that there is a long line, but trust me, it moves fast! They also have another location in Marietta if you are OTP!

Surprisingly good NewYork style pizza in the south. I would eat here again! It's a hole in the wall... but don't let that keep you away!

The significant other and I stopped here after the Atlanta Science Festival for lunch. He remembered Rosa's Pizza from back in the day when he was a teeny weeny student. :) Don't judge this place by its cover bc the health rating, B, will probably not be inviting -- nor the cracks and cranny of this place. But, the food was cheap and pretty delish. You can order by the slice or a whole pizza. And as for the topping choices, you can add whatever and how ever many your heart desires, and you will be charge according to the topping amount. The pizza slice is huge btw -- see my pic -- so committing to one or two of that is enough. The mushroom and ground beef pizza slice he ordered was pretty yummy. I wanted something different and got the cheesy calzone (it comes standard with cheese inside). I added ricotta cheese (don't recommend), sun dried tomatoes (yes! please), and spicy sausage into the calzone. Man, was that thing super duper cheesy when you get to the middle bottom. But, it was tasty. Overall, Rosa's Pizza was cheap and had good food for a whomping $10. My calzone was a standard $4.99 with add'l toppings, but the single pizza slice was pretty cheap.

Two days ago, I went to Rosa's Pizza (located by Georgia State University) and ordered a pizza. While eating, I noticed that the toppings were falling off (I was okay with that). Later, I found a bug near the pizza. Today, I went back to the restaurant to request a refund. However, the staff member I spoke to said that I needed to show them the box with the bug inside, and I had a video of it, which they didn't want to see and accept. I threw away the box with the bug as soon as I noticed it. I couldn't return to the restaurant on Monday because it was closed, and on Tuesday, I was busy. Now, on Wednesday, they are telling me that I can't get a refund because I don't have the box with the bug in it. Do they expect me to keep the box with the bug in it for two days? This is unacceptable, and absolutely disgusting. The person who I was talking to didn't show any remorse and didn't apologize for the incident instead, he kept harping about the pizza box the bug was in. I would like to support the black-owned business however, this business was very unprofessional and unapologetic. I hope nobody experience what I experience. 1/5

I just got back from Manhattan so their pizza is still just fresh in my mind. I had some horrible pizza in NY and good slices but they were all at least $3 a slice. Rosa's starts a $2.20 which is amazing. I did see a 0.99c pizza walking around in NY but I was somewhat hesitant to go inside. Rosa's is my favorite NY style pizza in Atlanta. I remember coming here frequently as a student because of their price. The price is still great and the pizza is still good. I like making pizzas at home but I could never get the thin crust NY style right. Rosa's has all the toppings I want. I went with mushroom and sausage. My fiancé got a calzone with sausage and sun dried tomatoes. I think I paid $10 for both of us. Would I come here again? Yes. Parking sucks but I would stop by if I were in the area. I hope they stay there feeding poor college students forever.

Been in business for ever. Second generation running the place. Best pie in downtown.

Omg, how could I have missed this place?! I went to GSU for 2 years and never stopped by. Idk what authentic new York pizza tastes like but all I know is after eating this, I'm ready to book it to NYC. They have a $6 special, 2 slices of pizza with 1 topping and a drink. Waaaay too much food unbeknownst to me. I got one slice with ground beef crumbles and one slice with spinach. He added my toppings on some cheese pizza then pushed the slices into the oven. Mannnnn, this pizza was so good. I tried to stuff it down but it was too much. I have to come back for sure x unfortunately they close at 6 but I get off at 5 so I should be able to make it lolol.

Love locally owned business thank you for being open during this time Ordered over the phone 5 pizzas The price are very reasonable for the quality and quantity The owner made sure I had enough pizzas for my party the pizzas were ready on time the owner heard us talking about my mistake with the order and right away helped us make it right without charging us extra for additional toppings we will come back- highly recommend

Great lunch specials! In a part of town where there are many options, this is a worthwhile stop! Pizza, lasagna and calzones. Hot sausage is great. There is a reason why the line might be out the door. Try it...you'll be glad you did. You might it even like it two or three days in a row?!

If you're from where I'm from then you already know REAL New York pizza. If you're not where I'm from and want to try authentic New York style pizzas then this is the place for you. It's been here as long as I have and has never changed it's menu or recipes once. Lunchtime is always packed mostly because it's inside of Georgia State University's campus so if you have limited time for lunch (like everyone else) call in your order. Lunch specials 2 slices and a drink $7. Paid parking on the street and at lots located less than one block away. Luckie street up to broad street is now closed off and changed into an outside dining area.

Fast, hot, delicious pizza - what more could a person ask for? Um, how about monster slices for only $2.20? A tip: lunchtime is an utter zoo! So many people means the food has to be good, right? It is. Well, that and you're smack in the middle of the Georgia State campus downtown. Be prepared for a line that stretches down the length of the wall when you arrive. It may seem long, but don't let that phase you: it actually moves pretty quickly. And because you yell your order to the cooks, by time you make it up to the register, your food is either already or close to being done. Works for me! It's your standard NY-style pizza (fold to eat, folks! fold to eat!) where a slice of pie just straight-up cheese stands nicely on its own. Want extra toppings? Only .55 each. Plus there are some specials, as well as offerings like calzones, lasagna and salads. The restaurant itself is no-frills with a tiny eating area in the back with tables. But if it's a nice day, I'd suggest instead to take it to go. Snag a seat out front to people-watch, or head just a block over to Woodruff Park and picnic outdoors. Good, cheap, tasty pizza. If you're peckish, this will hit the spot.

So I ordered delivery to my office from here the other day because some people in the office rave about them. I odered 5 large pizzas for my department and was told on the phone the building told them that they can not go upstairs, so I would have to meet them in the lobby. I thought that I could meet them in the lobby and escort them up since security would see 5 large pizzas was not light. The guy I arrived, I met him downstairs and he had the pizzas on a cart. The lady at security told him that he could go upstairs and that they get food deliveries all the time and that is not the buildings policy. So from what I gathered, it's the restaurants policy. I signed the credit card receipt and left a nice tip, so I asked him to please help bring the pizzas up, he obliged. So now to the pizzas, they were exactly what I ordered, but unfortunately no one was impressed. The slices were huge, so I suggest getting it double sliced if you order a large.Something was missing, but we couldn't put our finger on it. The white pizza was my favorite.

Nice staff, large slices, quick service. Small spot but they moved fairly quickly. Two large slices and a drink for $7. It's a great lunchtime deal.

New York-style pizza in the heart of Downtown Atlanta! Cute Rosa's is perfect, whether you're looking for a slice or a whole pie and there are only a handful of spots in Atlanta where you can get pizza this close to NYC-style. Nestled in the cute walkable Broad Street area of Downtown, the daytime activity is infectious between employees popping down for lunch or GA State students rushing between classes. It's the real deal!

Small single counter pizzeria. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it! Right next to Naanstop and Aderhold if you're a GSU student. Only $2.20 per cheese slices and the slices are huge. Good cheap pizza.

Finally. After years of working on my undergrad at GA state, I was able to try this spot that I always pass. I ordered the #1 lunch combo (2 slice 1 topping w/fountain drink) for $7. To my delight, it was just as good as I had imagined. New York style pizza in downtown Atlanta. Come get your fix, they're only open until 6!

ROSA'S PIZZA IS THE BEST DELICIOUS PIZZA IN GEORGIA!! THE PIZZA HAS HOMEMADE RECIPE. AND THAT MAKES THE DELICIOUS PIZZA! the Rosa family's pizza is New York style pizza! worth the trip to enjoy New York style pizza in downtown Atlanta. the fact that Rosa's family pizza business cooks, tastes like homemade pizza and affordable too! and Rosa's pizza looks like a New York pizza joint! i have been buying my pizza at Rosa's since the 90's. you get to know the owners treats you like family.! the pizza is perfect cheese, crust and home-made lasagna and canolli! feels good to eat home-made style pizza you can taste it s all home-made food. Rosa's is an Italian family pizza business! the Rosa's food is so delicious!

It's really hard to find great,not good pizza. Errbody wants to rep they city. Well we have New York style in ATL, Err time I get a chance I make a stop Downtown. Great Service.

Made a quick pit stop on my way home to get a slice of pizza. I will admit that I am a pizza "snob" (in the best possible way LOL). Honestly, I have more than one Yelp rant about the beauty of authentic New York style pizza and Rosa's comes close for Atlanta. Since I'm recently returning from a trip home and was in NYC, there are still some things that are missing for me and its glaring. Super sorry to say, believe me...this hurts, but true. For example, I need the crispy crust that should occur after reheating that single cheese slice. Today's slice was thin, looked crispy, but too soggy for my taste. Please, also give me the fresh mozzarella--it matters. That will make the slice properly greasy, not "greasy" greasy...hahaha, there's a difference. Plus, the sauce has to be the boss...which apparently happens with the right combination of tomatoes and seasonings (according to my favorite pizza spot in NYC) which happens to have the best sauce I've tasted. I won't name the place here, but refer to my other reviews. Anyway, I was happy-ish after my pizza pit stop and the folks here are super nice. Thank you Rosa's for selling pizza "by the slice" and for making one of the closest versions of a traditional New York style pie that I've found in ATL. A few tweaks would really set this pizza off, but it may not be worth it in the South since there are just so many alternatives. I realize a lot of my fellow Northerners, and specifically New Yorkers, have left glowing reviews. Don't hate me and No shade, but we've been away from home too long. Go back and happily eat a few slices (from a great pizza shop, because we know that every NYC pizza place is not banging--be honest LOL). Then, compare, and you will see there's still a little ways to go .That being said, I will be back, because darn it...I love me some pizza!!! Rosa's is solid, for sure. Happy Eating!

Pizza that isn't just NY style but actually tastes like it's from NY and italian ice!?!?!?! So happy!! Love it!!! Fast service ! (Of course he's a northerner) Tip: Pizza by the slice is the best way here. Otherwise the crust is a bit too soft for my liking.

Great slices , have been going here since 2007 worked at Stats and found Rosa's by accident on a break one day and have been coming back ever since . I have ordered slices and/or whole pies and have never been disappointed . New York slices are actually crispy on the bottom and hot when handed over , spinach and spicy sausage with extra cheese is my favorite the spinach has garlic in it mmmm . Be prepared to tell them your order when you walk through the door if you don't you may get shot a look , you snooze you loose . They will gladly go to the person behind you if you need more time to scope out the menu ? The 2 slice one topping special w/ drink is a favorite to many while some of us have other Ideas . Lunch crowd can be a bit of madhouse you walk in and get in line be prepared to yell out your order , have cash in hand and step to the side . If the seating area is full there is extra seating in the back and down the stairs . Open for lunch and an early dinner only Rosa's is not open in the evenings or weekends the pizza is good enough they can make their own hours .

We here at the Greyhound Terminal, want to thank all the hard working people at Rosa"s ..... Delicious pizza and food...EVERYTIME!!!!

Thanks for the free ranch! This pizza establishment graciously gave me sides of ranch. Layout reminds my of NY, so no doubt the pizza is probably amazing. It definitely smelled Will be back. For pizza, next time.

Not masking. I am a big fan of Rosa's. I work downtown and am here at least twice a week prior to COVID. Started back in office this week, and went there recently. Masking in the line was not enforced and owner was not wearing a mask. I'll find somewhere else.

I love coming to Rosa's Pizza for lunch during the week! Being smack dab in the middle of the George State University campus, Rosa's gets slammed during lunch hours. I wouldn't worry too much about the line because it goes by pretty fast. Rosa's serves ginormous slices of New York style pizza for just $2.20 no less! You can't get much better than that. If you want more than just cheese or one topping, you can get additional toppings for half a dollar. I believe they also have a great lunch special: two slices and a drink for just under seven dollars! There's really nothing to complain about. If you're looking for a quick, cheap, and yummy slice of pizza, stop by Rosa's and you won't be disappointed!

The best pizza in Atlanta, you can order by the slice or a whole pizza. I work close to this place so I do frequent this place and I do not get tire of it.

Love this place. Miss it now that I'm not at GSU. Fresh food. Great staff. Keeps you coming back. Delicious. Filling. Lunch specials. A variety of toppings

i went there for lunch. i had the calzone. omg it was so good that it taste better to me then pizza hut. everybody needs to try this place. i give it a 9. thats because the place is hard to find but once you do you will enjoy it.

Man, I miss this place now that I don't go to school down the street from it. It gets crazy packed during the lunch rush and the line can be a little daunting. The space is really narrow so it's hard to find a spot to stand (& scope out toppings) without being in someone's way. The guys on the line do a great job keeping things moving, but you have to be ready to order when they get to you or get ready to face some attitude. All in good fun, of course. The two slice + drink deal is the way to go. They load up the toppings so 1-2 per slice is usually plenty. I like the pepperoni and then either onion or mushroom. I'm normally about some green peppers, but the peppers they use (both hot and mild) aren't my favorite. Only reasons this isn't five stars: I need some spice! The cherry peppers just don't cut it--I'd love to see some giardianera or banana peppers behind the line. Also, the pizza is great and flavorful but I always find myself wishing it was warmer. Maybe I need to ask for it well done, but that always feels like a pain with a line out the door. All in all, casual neighborhood spot with great pizza and some friendly banter.

I'm not the biggest fan of pizza- but ever so often, I'll get a taste for it. I've been working in the area for over 4 years and never tried Rosa's eventho it's literally two minutes from my office. I'm now kicking myself for all the years I've wasted not patronizing this establishment. They have a deal where you get two slices and a drink for $6.75 so my coworker and I split that because neither of us were really hungry and I didn't want to be too disappointed if the pizza wasn't that great. We both got back to the office and after eating the pizza agreed that we should've gotten out own combos because one slice wasn't enough! Went back the next day and got our own combos and the pizza was even better than the day before. Definitely a fan! The place is very small and cramped- which is why I deducted one star but they get you in and out. You place your order as you walk in the door and they get your pizza in the oven and it's usually less than a 5 minute wait from the time you pay, till the time your pizza is ready. There is a small sitting area in the back, but I doubt I'll ever eat in. If you're a fan of NY pizza where you fold the slice in half to eat it and are dining on a budget, check out Rosa's Pizza!

I am a true PIZZA LOVER!!! So I'm very particular about my pizza. This was my first taste of this restaurant, and I give a star for all the following: 1 - Simple ordering process with a versatile menu when it comes to sizes and toppings. 2 - Not too long of a wait, especially for a pick up order. 3 - The presentation was amazing, you can clearly see each topping, as opposed to only a few toppings being covered in cheese. 4 - Fresh ingredients, especially the spinach. It didn't taste like store or freezer bought, but actually fresh cut seasoned and sautéed ingredients. Now I only did 5 stars instead of 4 for two reasons. First, the crust was a little folded in one side, and I believe that because of the placement in the box, nothing major. The second reason is that the crust was a little softer and moister/wet like than preferred. This could have been from the car travel, or the amount of ingredients, now way to truly tell. However despite these facts I would still eat here again. Kudos!

Great Customer service! They were very friendly on the phone all the way to when we picked up the food. They were even kind enough to wait for me even though I was stuck in traffic! The food smell so good when we got in the car we had to try it and it tasted just like it smelled! Such a great experience for first time customers

I have to admit it was the best pizza I have had in the south! Originally from NY, all pizza is compared to NY style pizza and this is the closest I've had in a very long time. I stopped in for lunch but had to back before I left downtown to take a pie back home via MARTA...lol! Re heats great!

Let me start off by saying I've learned that I must not be a fan of NY style pizza. So, I guess if that's what you like, come here. It looks like NY on the inside, it's kinda dingy like NY, has that NYC feel. They don't wear gloves. They take the trash out, then wipe down tables, without a hand wash- and they don't wear gloves. But, hey... Personally, I vote for Nancy's Pizza as the crown Champion of the Atlanta Pizza War. My ultimate favorite pizza is Pizzeria Uno's. Uh-oh. I think that means I like Chicago style pizza!

Man please !! I have been going to Rosa's since 1992. A lot of the same people working there. Food is very good and consistent. Pizza has nice crust, sauce, cheese etc. calzones have plenty of toppings. The sausage rolls are crazy good ( a little spice to them ). Prices are reasonable for quality of food. Operating hours are limited so check the schedule before you go and be flexible because seating is at a premium. When available the Italian ice is delicious.
