POV: You found a Vienna Beef hot dog at Rosati’s.

Pizza + Vienna Beef + Bears football? That’s an easy win.

Add friends and family around the table and it gets even better.

We stopped by Rosati’s in Centennial, Colorado for a little game day fuel and a whole lot of Chicago flavor.

Vienna Beef hot dogs are available at select Rosati’s locations.

Southside Sonia is an April 2025 HDU Graduate. You can find her slinging some of Chicago’s best Red Hots at the entrance to Palmisano Park on Halsted at 29th Street in Bridgeport from 12:30 to 5:00 Wednesday thru Sunday. So if you’re in or driving through Bridgeport stop by for one, two or three of Sonia’s Red Hots!
