Very tasty pizza that has a slightly sweeter sauce. It is also well seasoned. Nothing needs to be added. Well done without burning with a crust that has a crisp to it but still a little chew to make for a great slice. - Robert Fagan

Rose’s Pizza Introduce

For pizza lovers in New Jersey, the search for a truly authentic, high-quality slice is a perpetual quest. Fortunately for Bergen County locals, Rose’s Pizza in Garfield stands out as a genuine neighborhood institution that has been satisfying cravings since 1976. This establishment is more than just a pizzeria; it’s a full-service Italian restaurant that excels in delivering a wide range of comfort food, from robust pasta dishes to massive, satisfying heroes.

What truly sets Rose’s Pizza apart in the crowded New Jersey pizza landscape is its signature offering: a definitive New Jersey-style pie, particularly the Sicilian, known for its distinct and delicious characteristics. Customers consistently rave about the slightly sweeter sauce, which is rich, lightly seasoned, and provides a noticeable yet perfectly balanced tang and kick. This unique sauce, combined with a crust that achieves a perfect dichotomy—a crunchy lower exterior with a pillowy, airy interior—makes for a memorable, satisfying slice.

Beyond the excellent pizza, Rose’s offers an expansive Italian-American menu. You’ll find all the favorites, including generously portioned hot and cold subs, hearty baked dishes like Homemade Lasagna and Baked Ziti, and a variety of freshly made salads. Whether you're a college student looking for a quick and cheap slice, a family gathering for dinner, or simply dining solo, Rose's offers a cozy and casual atmosphere that makes everyone feel like a local. It truly embodies the spirit of a classic North Jersey Italian eatery.

As with any popular local spot, the experience at Rose’s is generally highly praised, with customers noting the excellent food, generous toppings, and satisfying portions. However, prospective diners should be aware of all customer feedback, including very rare but serious issues regarding quality control. While the majority of reviews focus on the delicious, homemade taste of the sauce and the high quality of the pizzas and heroes, it is always recommended to ensure proper storage and handling of all takeout food, especially leftovers. It is important to acknowledge all factual information presented by customers.

    What is Worth Choosing

    When visiting Rose’s Pizza, you are faced with a deep menu of Italian comfort food. To experience the best of this Garfield establishment, local experts recommend focusing on these standout dishes.

    The absolute top choice is the Sicilian Cheese Pizza. It is heralded as a "definitive NJ Sicilian pie," with its exceptional crust texture and the beloved slightly sweeter sauce. Customers frequently add favorite toppings like mushrooms and sausage to this pie. If you prefer a thinner crust, the Large Cheese Pizza is highly liked and praised for its great sauce.

    For non-pizza items, the restaurant’s hero sandwiches are a local favorite. The #8 Italian Hero Cold Sub is consistently rated highly for its quality cold cuts, and the #13 Chicken Cutlet Sub is noted for being an excellent and satisfying option. If you are ordering a hot hero, the Meatball Parmigiana Hot Hero is a popular, classic choice.

    In the pasta category, the baked dishes offer incredible comfort and value. The Baked Ziti and Homemade Lasagna are excellent choices for a hearty meal. Finally, for those looking for a fresh counterpoint to the rich Italian fare, the #9 Antipasto Salad is frequently ordered and described as one of the best in the area, packed with quality ingredients.
