As part of our ongoing "Getting to Know Your Local Businesses" series,
this week we sat down with Darren Frankenberger, owner of Rosati's Pizza Kingwood
Tell us a bit about your business: What does your business offer and how long have you been around?
Rosati's is a full-service restaurant serving lunch and dinner. Offering authentic Chicago-style pizzas, pasta and the biggest
wings in town with a full bar too. How do you define "Chicago-style"?
Folks from the Windy City dispute whether Chicago-style is represented
by a thin crust or a deep dish known as a pie with thick crust, loads of
cheese, toppings and then the sauce. Rosati's offers both! We are so
grateful to all the folks that helped us thrive in this location and
just celebrated our first year in business.
How did you decide to get involved in this line of work? How did the business get started?
After
trying Rosati's Dough Nuggets (deep-fried pizza dough tossed in garlic
butter), Monster pizza (everything on it but the kitchen sink), Zeppole
for dessert (deep-fried pizza dough dusted with powdered sugar and
served with a side of Nutella and experiencing the amazing Rosati
culture, it was time to learn more. After careful consideration, it was
decided we just had to bring a Rosati's franchise to our community and
hand-picked this location.
Tell us a couple things you are proud of about your business. What are you known for? What separates you from the competition?
Proud
to be locally-owned, hands-on, with the best repeat customers that keep
coming back for our phenomenal food and outstanding service. One
regular popped in to grab dinner to-go and shared "Never had a bad meal,
love the family atmosphere and I'm back every week". And his favorite
item on the menu? "Everything!" Check out the full-bar too!
What is your favorite part of running this business?
The
people. I love interacting with each and everyone of the folks that
stop by Rosati's and help us create this community destination.
Who is your target market or ideal customer/client?
If you appreciate good food and good service you should stop by and experience what it's like to be a guest at Rosati's.
Can you tell us something about yourself as the business owner? What is your background?
From
waitstaff, bartenders and management, people shared that the Rosati's
leadership has a heart for hospitality. Ask the staff about Darren "The
Man" (short for Managing Member) and they are quick to share that he
is big-hearted,
hard working, husband and father of three, hands-on, entrepreneurial
and present. Professionally, Darren comes form a diverse professional
background and is adept at finding a need and staying true to his core
value of helping others.
