Rosati's Pizza of Bloomington/Normal

Description

About Rosati's Pizza of Bloomington/Normal Rosati's Pizza is one of the oldest surviving family pizza restaurant businesses in the U.S. In 1927, Saverio Rosati opened a restaurant downtown Chicago that became a favorite watering hole for the old Chicago society and Windy City politicians. On any given night you might spot Jack Haley, the "Tin Man" in The Wizard of Oz, enjoying a hearty helping of homemade Italian specialties or notorious gangster, Al Capone and his entourage sharing a heaping dish of pasta with his so called "nemesis", Eliot Ness. In 1964 when Saverio retired, his sons Dick, Ron and Al opened the first Rosati's Pizza in the Illinois suburb of Mount Prospect. By 1978, ten Rosati family members owned carryout pizzerias.
