What People Are Saying About Rosa's Pizza

Featured Review

Erin Behan

Contributor

The Scene – Atlanta's lunch-focused Fairlie-Poplar district draws crowds to Rosa's. The less-than-$5 meals certainly attract Georgia State students, bike messengers and business folk to the no-frills counter, but it's the authentic New York-style pizza that makes this place a lunchtime standard. Lines quickly wrap outside the small storefront and brisk pizza pushers keep things moving, but getting a table during lunch rush hours can be near impossible. – – The Food – Rosa's brings the secrets of genuine New York pizza to the South. Generous mounds of fresh meats,…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Order a half ($35) or whole tray ($65) of lasagna and feed the whole family. Rosa's will deliver to places within walking distance of the restaurant.
Where to Sit:
Head to the back, where you'll find stairs to additional seating below the Healey building. Or, get your pizza to go and head a block over to Woodruff Park.
What to Drink:
Rosa's Italian ice treats offer a cool alternative to the coffee break.

Best pizza south of th' Mason/Dixon line

by bluerooster

I've known Tony for over 23 years, And was dissapointed when he closed shop here. And moved to ATL. But I'm glad he's doing well.

I reccomend Th' Rosas special, wit' extra cheese.

The Lasagna is pretty dang good too!

good portions, and a good price.

Mama Mia !!! It's Rosa's

by ilovemywife

1 slice of spinach, 1 slice of mushroom, and I am good to go. This is my favorite pizza in the city. I don't eat pork, but tomatoes, onions or even sun dried tomatoes all make for a pleasant pizza eating experience. Even with a crowded lunch line wrapped around the whole store and down the stairs, the ordering process is different , but finely tuned to get you in and out. Next!!! Price is cool, store is old but relatively clean. Rosa's is my spot.

  • Pros: Great pizza, quick
  • Cons: No weekends, and closes at 6pm
1 Star Rating: Poor

Wasnt the best ive had

by kallycoop

Going to Gsu, eating down town in between classes is hard. Growing up in Long Island. I know real pizza. There pizza is good. But, When I see an employee sneeze and not wash his hands and contunue to make pizza. Makes me want to run as fast as I can from this place.

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing! The Best In Atlanta!

by atlcuisineguy

I've lived in NYC and Chicago, and never in a million years did I think pizza like this would be found in Atlanta. And boy was I wrong. I had to take my son down to GSU for registration and books, and we stopped into Rosa's. Just perfect. No frills, just a hole-in-the wall near Georgia State. But when we walked in, and smelled the pizza, I knew something good was coming our way. This is the real thing, with real Italian's working behind the counter. Thin crust, great maranara, and too much cheese. Just the way I like it. You do not need toppings, but the Italian Sausage is very good.

  • Pros: Authentic NYC Italian Pizza! Best In Atlanta!
