Cafe Rosa Pizzaria, Ridge

Pasta or pizza? It's a common dilemma for diners at Italian restaurants, but Cafe Rosa Pizzaria eliminates it entirely with their baked ziti pizza. For this, chefs top dough in ricotta, mozzarella, tomato sauce, and penne noodles. Even better: they make it gluten-free upon request. That's just one of dozens of stuffed, deep dish, and regular pizza options that include familiar favorites such as meat lovers and more surprising pasta pies such as ravioli and vodka sauce. In addition to pizzas, the chefs cook calzones, stromboli, and classic entrees like chicken or veal marsala.
