About

Rosati's Pizza Pub and Sports Bar brings Chicago-style pizza to Grantville, San Diego from a full-service restaurant at 5855 Mission Gorge Road with a bar, big-screen TVs, and a menu rooted in a family recipe dating to 1927. The Rosati family is one of the oldest surviving pizza-restaurant families in the U.S., and this Grantville franchise — owned by Sam Deeb and identified as women-owned — runs the full Chicago playbook: deep dish with a buttery crust, Wisconsin mozzarella, and chunky pomodoro tomatoes; tavern-style thin crust cut into squares; and a proprietary Double Dough format that layers two crusts around a molten cheese center. The kitchen extends beyond pizza into jumbo wings, Italian beef sandwiches with giardiniera, Italian Beef Fries, pastas, and fresh salads, building out an Italian-American menu broad enough to anchor a full dinner. Craft brews rotate alongside cocktails at the bar, and the full-service setup includes booths, high-tops, and bar stools spread across a dining room lined with Chicago sports memorabilia and TVs carrying NFL, NBA, and UFC cards — a game-day format shared with San Diego Brewing Company in the same Grantville corridor. Mission Gorge Road funnels traffic between Mission Trails Regional Park and the 8 freeway, and Rosati's parking lot handles the drive-in crowd that the strip-mall corridor generates. Live music during select evenings and a private dining room extend the venue beyond casual pizza nights into event bookings and catered parties. The 92120 ZIP positions the restaurant within Grantville's dining corridor, where Chicago-style deep dish competes against the sandwich-heavy Italian-American menus at nearby spots including Gaglione Bros Famous Steaks & Subs on the same Mission Gorge Road stretch. Gluten-free deep-dish pies are available on request, and delivery and catering orders ship through the restaurant's own online platform. The five-generation recipe uses screens instead of cornmeal on the crust, producing a clean bottom without the grit that divides thin-crust purists.
