The Rosati family’s culinary journey began in 1895 when Ferdinand Rosati, an Italian immigrant from Naples, opened a pizzeria on Coney Island, New York. He later established a restaurant on Chicago’s Taylor Street in 1930, laying the foundation for what would become a beloved regional tradition. In 1964, the Rosati brothers opened the first Rosati’s Pizza in Mount Prospect, Illinois, launching a legacy built on authentic Chicago pizza and Italian classics. Over time, the family expanded through franchising, and today, Rosati’s operates more than 120 locations across the United States, all honoring the original recipes and values. The brand continues to uphold its founding principles: no artificial additives, no shortcuts, and a dedication to quality that has earned recognition, including winning WGN’s Chicago Pizza Madness in 2025.

Rosati’s Pizza remains a staple in West Des Moines, where it delivers the same time-honored taste and service that has defined the brand since its inception. Its enduring presence reflects a deep connection to community and tradition, making it a trusted name in local dining.
