Every college campus needs a good pizza joint by it. There previously hasn’t been one by USC, and now there is.

Rosso’s Pizzeria is your typical pizza joint with good pizza and a decent atmosphere. Filled with arcade games, a shuffleboard and red and white checkerboard tablecloths, it just feels like a traditional pizza place.

It has thinly sliced pizza you can order by the pie or individually. They make all of your typical favorites like pepperoni, sausage and Hawaiian. But they also offer Caprese, fresh mozzarella, a white pizza and different toppings to choose from like Canadian bacon, roasted garlic and artichokes.

If you aren’t in the mood for pizza, Rosso’s also makes meatball subs and spaghetti with meatballs. You can also order a house salad or Caesar if you want to eat light.

What makes Rosso’s unlike your typical pizza joint, however, is that it carries various wines and drafts of beer. The restaurant is usually busy making it a fun place to hang out, but it also seems a little disorganized. I’m sure that once they adapt to the new space they will get their routine down. It should be hard competition next to the Lab, which has great food and a great atmosphere, but Rosso’s Pizzeria will definitely satisfy your pizza craving.

Another perk for USC students; they take discretionary dollars. So enjoy!
