After all the pizza shops in our area were closed due to the storm, we decided to try our luck with La Roma Pizza. We got delivery and the pizza was so good, we decided to drop by the store to get some more. Pizzas were delicious and the owner is very kind.
May 2022: Our dining experience with La Roma was not what we expected.Let's start with the food. Due to the store's condition (more on that later), my wife and I opted for take-out.We ordered garlic knots and received 10 rolls of freshly made delicious dough. They were great except for the key ingredient - no wonderful coating of garlic butter. La Roma had sold us Garlic Nots. Tasty, but not what we wanted.Ok, we also ordered a Philly cheese steak calzone to split. It was filled with plenty of cheese, onions, and green peppers. A third of the calzone had about 2 layers of thinly sliced philly cheese steak. While tasty, not what we were expecting for almost $9.We bought a second cup of marinara sauce ($0.75) when we saw they gave only a 1-oz serving with our knots. At that point, it became dinner-and-a-show as we watched one of the workers struggle with an industrial-sized can opener mounted on a table that was mounted on wobbly wheels. I didn't catch the sauce brand, but it's red and chunky and tasted like old ketchup. If you're a fan of that flavor, you can have mine.Inside the store and near the ceiling is a black board with writing about specials. Unfortunately, you can't read them because they are blocked by a towering brick wall with windows and a door - like something built for a school play and dumped near the cash register.For some reason, the dining area doubles as a storage area. Out of the 7 tables in the store, 3 are covered with pizza boxes, pie stands, and drinks. The counter for utensils and cups is covered with crated drinks, an unused pizza oven, and for that special ambiance - dirt. The Health rating certificate showed 98.5 on April 1st 2022. Apparently, not even the men's room had been cleaned since then by the buildup of pink mold in the sink and toilet.With the variety of Italian restaurants in the area, I can't recommend La Roma to you. While the garlic "nots" and calzone were ok, I don't think we'll be back any time soon either.If you found this review helpful, please give it a like.
Not only is their food delicious, their customer service is top notch! Thank you La Roma Pizza for checking in on your customers and always striving to make things better.Everything we order is always great but the cannoli’s bring me back home and it’s always a must order!
We used to love La Roma but since the stopped running the delivery themselves we have had one bad experience after another. When we called to complain about a pizza that never showed up they wash their hands of any responsibility. Sadly we will never order from them again. The real shame is that they had their own app for delivery that was always perfect. I don’t know why they changed but they have lost our business.
Got delivery and it was delicious! Pizza was great, would have preferred a little more well done on the garlic knots, but definitely still ate them :)
Great taste. More thin then thick crust was just crispy enough and sauce was excellent. Authentic Canadian bacon, so you know it's a real pizza place.
I called last night about picking up a pizza and their specials. The young girl on the phone acted like she had never heard of a pizza special before. She quoted me a pizza special with a one topping 16" for $15. It didn't sound like a special but I was hungry so we went ahead with the order. The pizza wasn't cut correctly and we had to cut it ourselves but the pizza was good. I think the staff is newer and needs some experience but that won't prevent me from ordering pizza again.
My new favorite quick Italian spot in Garner! I don't eat meat so I got the cheese manicotti with breadsticks and a salad. My mom got the lasagna. The food was splendid, it was ready for pickup 20 minutes after I ordered, the location was clean, the people working there were friendly. Love it!
Seems reviews always kind of leave you on the fence but this place was lovely. Friendly customer service! Patient. Friendly delivery driver. My food came about 20min after ordering nice and hot and exactly how I requested it. I’m very particular with my orders but the woman who took my order didnt make me feel like a hassle so I appreciate that. The food is reallllyyy good. I’m glad I took the chance.
We got pizza and wings with their special. The food was excellent, and the staff were fantastic. The wings were crisp and they were a really good size. The crust on the pizza was done to perfection. The special was for a one topping, but there was a great amount of cheese on it like we had ordered extra cheese, but that was just came that way. If you want a really great pizza that is alouing you to eat in you have to check this place out.
