Our story begins with a young man bidding farewell to his mother who slipped $5 in his pocket and encouraged him to pursue a better life in America, where he won an extra $20 on the boat playing dice. With just $25 in his pocket upon arriving in America, he knew he had to work hard to make ends meet. Fortunately, fate intervened when he discovered that the owner of Rosangela’s Pizzeria hailed from his hometown and was in need of help. This marked the beginning of his journey at the renowned pizzeria, where he poured his heart and soul into his work. Fast forward to 1961, and there he stood – a 19-year-old with a bright future ahead of him – proudly posing for a photo in the original Rosangela’s Pizzeria. This young man’s determination and hard work paved the way for the legacy of Rosangela’s Pizza, where we continue to serve the best pizza in Chicago with fresh dough, locally sourced ingredients, and a passion for great food.
