If you find yourself in San Jose and are craving an authentic taste of New York, look no further than Rosie's New York Pizza, located at 1285 The Alameda. This delightful restaurant blends vibrant energy with the comfort of classic pizza joint aesthetics, beckoning pizza lovers to indulge in a plethora of mouth-watering options.

Rosie's specializes in New York-style pizza, characterized by its crispy yet foldable crusts and quality ingredients. Their menu features a wide variety of choices, from the customizable "Create Your Own Pizza," where you can opt for a Small 12″ Cheese Pizza starting at $20 to a Large 18″ pizza for $27. For those looking to savor something unique, the Signature Pizzas are a must-try. Take a delicious trip with the Hawaiian Getaway Pizza, bursting with Canadian bacon and sweet pineapple, or savor the traditional Napolitana Pizza, topped with fresh mozzarella and basil—all priced at $29.50. If you're in the mood for something hearty, try The Godfather Pizza, piled high with grilled chicken and artichokes that promises a flavorful explosion in every bite.

But it’s not just the pizzas that steal the show; their garlic knots are truly legendary, inviting a crispy, golden exterior with a soft, fluffy inside—a perfect starting point for your meal. As one customer exuberantly noted, these knots are "phenomenal," providing a delightful complement to any pizza. The ambience here is enhanced by a lively New York vibe, offering a lively dining atmosphere that incites laughter and conversation among guests. Friendly staff, like Jr, have been noted for their warmth and commitment to great service, making you feel right at home as you settle in to enjoy your meal.

However, customers have expressed mixed feelings regarding pricing, particularly around topping costs. With some reviews suggesting that prices could be more competitive, it's certainly worth highlighting the quality of the ingredients used in each pizza—a noteworthy aspect that sets Rosie's apart from typical chain offerings.

If you’re dining in, expect to navigate through an enticing aroma wafting through the air, promising a feast that delights your senses. And for those on-the-go, consider taking a slice home to savor later; many guests find that the flavors intensify after a brief cooling period, making for an equally satisfying second act!

Rosie's New York Pizza isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, making a stop at Rosie's is a decision you won't regret. Bring your appetite, and prepare for a slice of New York in the heart of San Jose!

Amazing pizza. The only reason I can't give this a 5 stars is pricing. It's amazing to me that pepperoni toppings are the same price as mushrooms. Hahahah are you kidding me?!? Lower your toppings price to reasonable rates that match the product and this is a 5 star pizza place. $40 for a large 2 topping pizza is borderline crazy. Also! There's an additional fee for cost of living for the employees added mandatory to every order. Consider that when tipping.

I had such high hopes upon entering. The ambience has a cool NY vibe. Menu looked good. Great selection. Prices what I expected. Two large NY pies. Looked beautiful but there was, believe it or not, way too much cheese. Made it supremely oily and toppings were falling off the crust. I will say that after 15 minutes it had time to set up and was better. And the two slices I brought home were better the next day. Also had the wings. They come crispy and Buffalo and each sauces on the side. Plump chicken and not a lot of fat; I love that. There are definitely more things I want to try on their menu.

Omg this place is really good. Esp if you are craving New York style pizza . They quality in ingredients is top notch . Lots of beers to choose from professionally staff. Plus plenty of space. Oh the garlic knots are phenomenal. The only place that has them beat is " Slice of New York " but not by much. If ur in the area and you got a craving for pizza, don't go to subway and for sure don't go to pappa John's, go to Rosie's you'll be glad u did.

BF kept getting tiktok suggestions about this place, so we tried it. Ordered our go-to sausage and mushroom pizza and a side of wings. Wing options are hot sauce and BBQ. They are served fried with whichever sauce option you choose, on the side. I didn't care much for the way they were served, but BF thought they were good. None of the usual celery and carrot on the side for an appetizer. Very unimpressive. On to the pizza: Sausage is shredded and not your standard sausage ball, our bad for not seeing it on the menu, I'm not sure if it's mentioned on the menu, I'm just assuming we were in the wrong. Shredded sausage = my least favorite sausage. Same reason I dislike Bibo's. Crust was AMAZING! Thin, crispy and perfect when dipped in ranch. They have a weekly slice and salad special, I'm going to give that a try for lunch one of these days because they're not too far from downtown. I'm sure there are sausageless options that are great.

Randomly walked by, thus went in to check it out. And we weren’t disappointed!!! Growing up in east coast (Flushing, Queens, NY), the New York style pizza defined my palate and I always appreciate when places outside of NYC that has authentic NY pizza! And to top it off, their garlic knots were so good! Huge too! Crispy outside with soft inside, as New Yorkers would expect. Got one slice for me and one for my wife, and we both are definitely going back! #NYstylepizza #garlicknots
