Rosati’s Pizza will be launching its third Florida franchise location to Northeast Florida at 520 West Twincourt Trail, Suite 6. 

The JBJ reports that the county recently issued a $549,000 permit for the build-out of the new location which will be 1,480 square feet. Franchisee Mike Gennett will be running the location.

“Nearly a century ago these were the simple words Sam Rosati lived by; little did he know this humble philosophy helped shape the foundation on which Rosati’s Pizza was built,” the official website states.

“Sam’s father began the family’s rich tradition of serving delicious Italian food to customers in his New York restaurant back in the late 1890’s. After the turn of the century, the family moved to Chicago and opened yet another fine ltalian restaurant featuring “Italian Style Pizza”, a tasty appetizer consisting of homemade tomato sauce served on a crispy piece of bread. In 1927, following in his father’s footsteps, Sam opened his own Italian restaurant in downtown Chicago.”

Rosati’s offers four different types of pizza, including Chicago-style alongside Italian-style menu options as well as sandwiches, wings and salads.

Mr. Gennett was not immediately available for comment. No opening date has been announced.
