Rosati’s has stayed true to our roots, continuing to use fresh ingredients and authentic Italian family recipes passed down through generations since 1964. When you join Rosati’s pizza franchise, you’ll learn that we have a reputation for using quality ingredients and providing unparalleled service.
Mid-Western Work Ethic
To be a successful Rosati’s owner, you have to have that ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ attitude and an old-school Chicago work ethic: focus and attention to detail.
Carl Dissette, the newest addition to the Rosati family, has just that. He began his career in the foodservice industry as a district manager for a coffee manufacturing company. Within his time in this role, he gained the experience of working with professional food service executives in the hospitality industry. From here, Dissette took a leap and began franchising. Since then, he has operated 25 restaurants.
Carl joined the Rosati family in 2019 because he saw an opportunity to bring Chicago-style pizza to the Mishawaka, Indiana area. He had a 2400 square-foot retail space that he knew a restaurant concept would thrive in. With the nature of the pizza industry, Dissette knows professional delivery service will be the key to his success in this market.
“Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, I grew up with the Rosati’s Pizza brand and was well familiar with the quality of the products and the strong brand awareness associated with Rosati’s.” – Carl Dissette
According to Carl, one of the most challenging parts of owning and operating a restaurant revolves around the people you hire who then become an extension of your restaurant and the brand. With 35 years of experience, Dissette knows that obstacles arise from time to time, but having the confidence in your business skills as well as the franchise you’re apart of makes all the difference in the long run.
