Red Rose Restaurant – the House that Pizza Built!

Rising like dough!

In 1963 Edda Caputo opened a 15-seat pizzeria in Springfield using recipes from her native Naples, Italy. Customers loved her fresh, authentic cuisine so much that the restaurant expanded not once, but four times! In response to customer demands full dinners and full beverage service were added. Today, Red Rose Restaurant is a Springfield landmark that can accommodate more than 400 diners.

Our Pizza

The Red Rose is known for pizza! We still make our pizza the same way as we did in 1963, although we make a lot more of it. We make our own dough from scratch in 200 pound batches four or more times a day. Our “house recipe” pizza is topped pepperoni, mixed red and green sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese, lots of mozzarella cheese. Each week we use a ton or more of mozzarella. We offer many other toppings for our pizzas – the full list is included in our menu. Since 1987 our pizza has been voted “Best in the Valley” times.

We also offer a full line of freshly made salads, sandwiches, and Neapolitan entrees, all prepared using Caputo family recipes. All items can be enjoyed in our dining room, served to your guests in our banquet room, or ordered for take out. To see the complete list of our delicious items, visit our menu page.

In addition to the accolades for pizza, the quality of our food has been recognized many times.

Seeing is Believing

Back in Italy, everyone knows what goes on in the kitchen. Many families entertain friends in the kitchen. While we can’t allow eating in our kitchen, we’re so proud of the professionalism and skill of our staff that we built our restaurant with observation windows that allow our guests to watch as we prepare their food!

Seeing may be believing, but tasting is oh so much more satisfying! We invite you to visit us at 1060 Main Street, Springfield. For directions and hours, click on the directions page.
