Rosario's Italian Restaurant

Rosario's, or "Rosie's" as our family calls it, is a family-owned classic pizzaria, two blocks off the 405 in Carson. It is in a shabby little strip center between a clothing outlet and a liquor store. It is the home of the best pizza I have ever had. I have travelled the world and I carry 275 pounds on a fifty-year-old frame, and I have never had a pizza anywhere even close to this good.
First, everything is fresh and made from scratch, including their awesome fennel-sausage. They pile their pizzas so high, the actual cooking time for a medium is about 25 minutes (dominos is six). A medium sausage pizza without extra cheese or anything else weighs OVER FIVE POUNDS!
I personally have been eating there when in California since 1985. My wife actually went in to labor with our daughter at Rosario's. Bring a huge appetite, lots of friends and you won't be dissapointed!

This local establishment has been is business over 25 years in the same location. The location being an old small strip mall with a liquor store and a cleaners. It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside and when you walk in surprise it looks the same on the inside! The decor is dusty plastic grape leaf trellis type of look with only about 8 tables for dining and a T.V at the far end. The minute you taste the pizza you forget all about your surrounding though because it leaves your mouth is watering for more! Our family always orders a pizza and the dinner salad with the bleu cheese dressing and garbonzo beans. This salad easily feeds 3 and is priced very reasonable as is all their food. The waitress are always friendly and courteous and it feels like home when we do decide to eat in rather then take-out. I can't tell you much about the rest of the menu although over the last 25 years I know we have tried many items. It is just that the pizza is so good we usually stick to that and pick it up to go on a Friday night. No matter what 9 times out of 10 their is someone we know be it a old H.S buddy or neighbor waiting inside for their Friday night splurge! The restaurant is closed on Sundays. I think (prettty sure) they have an "A" rating on the window. Which they deserve in my opinion because the kitchen looks clean and bright and I have never had a problem in all my years of eating at Rosarios!
