Rosario's — Review by Joshua Weissman
New York, United States — Italian, Pizza
Joshua visits Rosario's, a family-owned New York deli with a pizza oven, recommended by UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski. The reviewer appreciates the wholesome, intimate setting and is intrigued by their unique pizza combinations featuring sausage and pepperoni together.
What was great: Family-owned atmosphere, pizza oven quality, interesting sausage and pepperoni combination
What could improve: Nothing mentioned
The Dishes
Joshua ordered a pizza featuring both sausage and pepperoni, a combination he notes he doesn't usually get. He mentions that typically he would order either sausage or pepperoni separately, so having the two together felt like an aggressive choice, likening it to UFC fighter aggression. The reviewer was initially apprehensive about trying this particular combination but was open to experiencing what Rosario's had to offer.
The Experience
Rosario's presents itself as a family-owned deli that also operates a pizza oven, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Joshua notes that upon entering, he could immediately understand why Volkanovski recommended the place. The wholesome setting and small-shop vibe stood out to him, especially considering this was a recommendation from someone who doesn't even live in New York. The reviewer mentions he had only visited a couple times before, about a decade prior, and was impressed that the restaurant still held up as a recommendation from such a notable figure.
The Verdict
While the review was cut off before a complete rating could be given, Joshua's tone suggests genuine interest and appreciation for what Rosario's offers. The family-owned charm and quality pizza oven preparation appealed to him, making it a worthwhile recommendation from Alexander Volkanovski's list of favorite eating spots in the United States.
