With more than 120 restaurants nationwide, Rosati’s Pizza has established itself as a go-to destination for authentic, Chicago-style pizza made exclusively from fresh, quality ingredients. The Illinois-based, family-owned restaurant chain has been voted No. 1 for Best Chicago Pizza by WGN Radio 720 listeners – and that’s a city that knows its pizza.
Now, Rosati’s Pizza Enterprises is poised for expansion.
“At Rosati’s, we aren’t just selling pizza; we’re sharing a five-generation family legacy that has been perfected since 1964,” said Tim McCarthy, senior vice president of franchising. “What sets us apart today is the perfect marriage of that heritage with a business model built for the modern entrepreneur. We’ve spent decades perfecting our recipes, but we’ve also perfected the science of the win-win for our franchisees.”
According to McCarthy, that success starts with Rosati’s Pizza’s dedicated site selection and construction support, ensuring the company’s partners land in high-visibility locations. Once the doors open, the Rosati’s Pizza Enterprises model thrives on multiple revenue streams, such as robust carryout and delivery systems, high-ticket catering and a full dine-in experience.
“You’re getting the heart of a 1964 family business with the engine of a 21st-century industry leader,” McCarthy said.
For those who aren’t pizza connoisseurs, the company provides guidance throughout the process. Prospective franchisees can choose to build one of the company’s three different formats: a sports pub, a fast-casual concept, or a carryout and delivery restaurant. They then spend up to four weeks training at a successful store and two weeks at their own restaurant learning from an experienced field operations management team before launch.
The Rosati’s Pizza Enterprises team also provides local marketing resources to help franchisees build immediate buzz about their business, with fellow owners offering ongoing support.
“We welcome entrepreneurs of all experience levels to join our franchise family,” the company stated on its franchising website. “Many of our owners come from a corporate background and are looking to use their learned skills to build a business for themselves.”
For those seeking a profitable franchise opportunity with a classic Windy City taste, Rosati’s Pizza is the perfect fit.
