Rosalee’s is a quaint, little pizza joint offering fresh made pizza, beer and cider, and a very enjoyable sit-down meal.
The esthetic is all around comforting, wooden tables coupled with sofas and small armchairs to the side of the entry area and a nicely sized bar. Photos and posters adorn the walls, I spot Jerry Garcia once or twice. There must be a jam head amongst the mix of the crew.
The main thing about coming to Rosalee’s one should know it’s that it is not large, but it’s also undoubtedly the best pizza place in Longmont. This means, almost assuredly, you will be met with either a wait or you may end up sitting somewhere you typically might not. We ended up sitting at the bar on this outing. Previous times, I’ve sat outside, which I tend to avoid like a vampire because I’m extremely hot-blooded, or once I sat at a 4-top with some friends.
Overall, though, the vibe of the place is positive, so mingling with some unknowns tends to be a positive experience. The staff seems to keep a very positive tone and is as attentive as they can be.
The knots (either sausage or garlic) are fantastic, just be aware, they come with a boatload of a strong garlic infused butter.
The pizza is exactly what you want, a nice crunchy base (smashes the knife scrape test), a little char, and a good use of quality ingredients. For those that imbibe, there’s plenty choices to choose from here without it being a daunting task.
For those in Longmont looking for a za, there’s other, bigger options, but Rosalee’s is really the place you want to go. Wait a bit or make some new friends at the bar (even if it’s only the very friendly bartender), it’s worth all that!
If you’re looking for an authentic tasting NY style pizza then this is the place. I usually just get cheese or Margherita pizza because it doesn’t even need the toppings.
If you go for lunch you can get Pizza by the slice!
I need one then to open one closer to Denver!
I walked in on an insanely busy Friday night needing five pizzas to go. The place was absolutely packed. They were upfront and told me it would be about an hour. No problem. I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a beer while I waited.
I generally find service in Colorado to be average at best, and honestly, in Boulder and Longmont, it’s often pretty bad. Rosalee’s was a complete surprise and a bringer of joy.
What I witnessed that night was one of the best examples of service execution I’ve seen in a long time. The staff were clearly running at maximum speed, totally overrun, yet they didn’t miss a beat. They were fast and efficient but still took the time to greet everyone, check in, communicate clearly, and ensure people felt taken care of. It wasn’t chaotic or frantic, but came across as genuinely caring and exceptionally well coordinated.
I know this probably sounds like I’m gushing, or worse, like I’m a plant. I’m not. So here’s a bad point. They don’t answer their phone for takeout, which I hate; however, I understand it. To keep the neighborhood feel and keep pace with the busy dining room, taking phone orders when it’s so busy might sink the ship. I’ll take the quality in-person service.
I just really believe that when a local place manages to hone its service this well—especially under pressure—it deserves recognition.
And then there’s the pizza. Perfect. Easily the best pizza around.
Rosalee’s absolutely won me over that night. I won’t be avoiding it anymore.
The inside space looks cool, though not a lot of seating. Lots of bar seating, and a good beer selection it seemed. Hopefully I get to try it again and see how it goes. They also had pinball machines? Cool.
Went back and got their salami and basil pizza. Again, I didn’t think it was anything to write home about. I think there is better pizza in town, def better square pizza in Denver.
The atmosphere was awesome, and the service was awesome as well. The Caesar salad was good, but I could not order it next time and be okay with that. I thought I was going to have to pay 20 to $30 for a pizza, but I was able to purchase pizza by the slice, which made it affordable ($3 a slice). It was cheese pizza, and it was a deep dish. And again, it was good, not great. Overall, I liked this place, but if I came back, I would try different items to see if this was an off night or if the rest was better. Recommend for atmosphere and affordability.
