Endicott native here, but this review is for non-natives. If you think there is only one kind of pizza; if you think Papa John's/Pizza Hut/etc is "good" rather than edible at best; if you think that pizza has to be hot and triangular to be good, then, frankly, you might not like Roma's. Yes, Roma's is non-traditional in a sense, but it's old school non-traditional, not non-traditional as in yuppie pizza with weird wacky toppings or made in the shape of a goose, or whatever. Roma's pizza is fluffy, square, comes with less sauce and/or cheese than you might expect, and can be eaten hot. But its true genius comes out when you intentionally choose to eat it cold. Many people believe that the true test of a slice of pizza is whether it's good in an hour, or even the next day. And I'm one of them. Mass-produced ingredients tend to show their colors after they've cooled off - at some point Pizza A tastes a lot like Pizza B or Pizza Z for that matter. Those pizzas that are meant to look like the million dollar tv ads: stringy cheese, bubbling red sauce, jellybeans in the crust, tend to turn into glop after reaching room temperature. Roma's is different. Different in a way that it's almost like a combination of pizza and something else - bagel? croissant? German pretzel? Bottom line is that if you pick up a square of Roma's (either hot or cold) expecting conventional pizza taste and texture, you'll be surprised. And if you're surprised there's a good chance that you'll feel angry, disappointed or betrayed. If you just open your mind, close your eyes and take a bite, you might find that there's more than one way to make wonderful, delicious cheese redsauce bread. And that's why us locals absolutely love it. For breakfast, lunch, dinner or whenever. read more

Stopped in to grab a loaf of bread for Christmas Eve dinner, still hard to beat it. Not nearly as busy as it was back years ago when I lived here, and with them not actually baking I missed that wonderful smell. read more

We just recently ordered cookie trays as well as smal cannolis. Tray was terrible with dried out purchased cookies. Small cannolis were hit with shrinkflation and cost over 2.50 each. Soggy. Went to wegmans. Got their small cannoli were about 1.45 each. Crispy, flavorful. Spent 165.00 on cannolis at romas. Same amount at wegmans was 70.00. And they were definitely larger and 100% better. Need to rethink their pricing and definitely their Quality. We're done with romas for cookies and pastries. Yuk read more

Filthy. On 11/24?25 we bought a quarter sheet "red" pizza. Brought it home for lunch. It was garbage. It was a quarter inch thick...with the cheese and sauce. A quarter inch total!. It was under baked, hard and tasteless. I took a bite and spit it out, my wife wouldn't even try it. We threw it away. We are done with Roma Bakery. The bread is terrible, just plain lousy and the place is filthy. Where's the health dept? read more

Coleslaw was so spoiled that the top popped off because of fermenting 3 hours after I brought it home i'm so glad I did not eat.It it was planned for the next day but i'm sure a lot of people got very sick that night read more

See all

So we decided to order 1/2 sheet pizza tonight for quick dinner. I order half sheet pizza with Light sauce and extra cheese. Worker said white pizza? I said no i want a regular pizza light then spell light sauce. With extra cheese. Arrive for pizza and its wring its a white pizza. This is second time this has happened. The kids today do not listen as we have ordered this same order for 20 years. Luckily we were able to get what we wanted. read more

Worst pizza I ever had. Burned on one side, undercooked on the other. And the Jim Romas is filthy. read more

Jim Roma’s Bakery - Burned Pizza - Bakeries Near Me - Endicott, New York

Was looking for Sfogliatella. Found it!!! Excellent job!!! Great size and filling but most important very crunchy and flaky!!

The bread! So good. The Italian cookies were on point. Wish we could get the bread delivered to NC!

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Still the best family owned Italian style pizza/bakery place in town. It was fun to come back from out of town and get a taste of Endicott again! We ordered lots for a family party and it was easy to order & transport! read more

Best little (big) bakery in Endicott. Fresh bread, friendly staff. Neo cookies are great. I got an egg salad sandwich for like $3 here the other day. What's not to like about that? A quality local business. read more

The best Italian bread in the world! Great with real Italian spedies! I moved all over the country, came back home! Nothing like it! I was in the foodservice business for years , and they are still the best! Yes back when there lamb spedies! read more

How can you not give them a five rating. When you walk in the door it's automatically a five . Everything fresh people are fantastic food is delicious Price is Right what else can you ask for read more

The pizza slices are big but the quality is a bit below average. I got a loaf of their Italian bread as well and that was better (I'll still eat it all without butter, the make of a good bread) but still missed the mark. The crust could be harder and it was a bit tasteless (compared to Columbus Bakery in Syracuse), maybe more salt would help. It was better than the trashy bread Little Venice serves though (butter mandatory). Overall I'll pass on going again. read more

Very good sheet pizza, but the highlight for me was the Italian cookies. Dang, they were good!!!

Fabulous bread and rolls! They also have shredded American Cheese that they sell which is hard to find other places. Very disappointed in the pizza. Way to saucy would be great if you could order it with just a little sauce. Tried three times to order light on sauce or very little sauce but made the same every time. Here is a picture of what very little sauce gets you FYI read more

Jim Roma’s Bakery - a square pizza in a box - Bakeries Near Me - Endicott, New York

The bread is good. The cold cuts are fresh. But the meat is stored with the desserts in the same case. Like the uncooked meat. Iew #1- Iew #2- the pizza... the worst I've had in close 40 years of life. I'm from NYC, so I get that the pizza up here sucks in general. But this was a joke. It was undercooked and burned at the same time. I don't even know how that's possible. The cheese was burned and the dough was raw. The dough... paper thin and raw and covered with sauce that tasted like somebody popped open a can of Hunts Tomato Sauce and went to town. The cheese... about that. So when I lifted my favorite slice form the pie- the middle. The entire little sheet of cheese hit the box... and it wasn't even like I could lift it up and put it back on... when I touched it... It was like disintegrating in my fingers into sauce covered mush that tasted like maybe the raw dough mixed with the partially melted (yet burned) cheese, leaving behind a soft, putrid mess. So yeah... $15 in the garbage. Won't be doing that again. Oh and I got cannoli too, cause I am insane and dared to go there. They weren't awful or anything... but 2 cannoli and not one chocolate chip in the cannoli cream... Yuck... have these people even eaten Italian food before ? And barely any powdered sugar. read more

Such good pizza!! Convenient location with plenty of parking. We hardly ever order ahead, they have stuff ready to go! Really good rolls that you can bring home and cook yourself. Staff is generally pretty friendly. The white pizza is so good. Must have! read more

Updated review- charging 3 dollars to take a credit card over the phone so I don't have to have them touching my credit card in person or use their pens to sign. Taking advantage during a pandemic. Need to do much better. Make a great white hot pepper pizza, but kids working there consistently screw up order or put way too much cheese. Ordered last night and they gave me a red pizza with peppers instead of white and overflowing with cheese (even though we specifically said to take it easy on the cheese). Overall they lack consistency. Can get some good stuff there, but it's always a gamble. Have thrown away items many time because it's un eatable. read more

Decent little deli. I went there for the first time the other day and tried a turkey sub and a few slices of pizza. The sub was ok - I liked the quality of the turkey and bread, but felt the vegetables could use some love. Everything just felt...wet. The tomatoes were kind of sad and sloppy, the lettuce was kind of damp. It wasn't bad, I just think it could be refined. I think Wegmans offers a higher quality product with a larger size for the same price. I liked the pizza - it was as if Nirchi's and Brozzetti's had a baby. A little too much sauce for my liking but it was decent. I think if I had ordered a fresh pie with extra cheese it would be very good. I plan on trying that next time over the ready to go slices. Everyone there was friendly and efficient - if someone went up to the counter, a worker ran right over to take care of them. I'll go back and try it the pizza again, or stick to their breads and get meat sliced fresh to make my own sandwiches. read more

Awesome bread, bread, subs, cold cuts...Ok this place is awesome at everything. One-stop-shop for italian dinners (pizza/pasta/chicken parm, etc.), sheets of pizzas, subs, desserts, and bread. Very reasonably priced, and they even have a seating area if you feel like sitting down and eating there. Great bread and subs, and the owners are super nice. Solid local place for sandwiches and bread. read more

Absolutely the best bread rolls and Italian subs anywhere on earth! Such a treat! Love their food and the ambience of the old Italian bakery! Highly recommend! Keep up great work Roma's! read more

Love Roma's white pizza with onions .. it reminds me of eating pirogies lol. Their chicken wings are also bomb .. make sure to ask them to make you the mild garlic parm wings .. one of the best wings in the area !!! Their fresh breads are also EXTREMELY addicting, especially their rolls... I could eat the whole bag !! Antipasta salad in the deli section are also very good ! read more

Great subs. Traveling through town i treated myself to a Spiedie sub. Best meal of the day!

I'm a fan for one reason only, the consistency. It is most certainly not the best food or the best priced. But it's fast and you know you getting a sloppy piece of pizza that some how manages to taste good despite its looks. That and their "Meatball" sub is the equivalent to a sloppy joe but for some reason I almost always have to get one when I go in there. Almost forgot, If you manage to get it fresh get the breakfast pizza they stop making that early and their white pizza is actually pretty good... drinks are over priced.. (sigh) read more

The bread here is soooo soft and delicious! And the pizza is doughy and kind of drippy but it is the best pizza ever! Everything is just super great here. read more

The only reason why I liked this place was for the cold cuts. It seems that trying to get a worker to notice that your a customer is a different story. The last few times I've gone there a few other customers that walk in after me get the same service I would like. The customer service I receive from this place doesn't even deserve a star. I gave 2 stars because the cold cut quality is better than most of the other stores in this area. Not returning to this place. read more

Some of the most tasty, but drippy pizza you will eat. The subs and sandwiches are good too. Highly recommend. Restaurant can be a little dirty depending on when you go. read more

I lived in Endicott for 21 years. I grew up with Jim Romas Bakery. My best friend and neighbor worked there for many years. My family would get a sheet size pizza on Friday nights for the family. By sheet size, I mean at least 24 slices of pizza cut into squares.Awesome sause and lots of mozzerella cheese.You can also get great Italian subs and other side dishes at the deli.They offer a wide variety of Italian cookies.My favorite is Jim Romas sliced Italian bread. They make it fresh everyday 7 days a week. I was recently back in Endicott a few months ago and bought 3 loaves to go. I had to pass the bread through security at the airport in order to take the bread back home with me to Florida.Ahh...the great memories of Jim Romas Bakery will always be with me.It is a must stop for anyone (Italian or not). read more

Absolutely disgusted with this store. Not only did they illegally ask if my dog was a service dog, but then proceeded to kick us out. Never going back. After breaking the law twice they were rude about it when my friend paid for our bread. read more

Don't believe what the locals say about this place. The pizza is okay at best and their bread is alright. The Pastries are super stale and they never throw them out. We got three loaves of bread and we found a cigarette butt in one of them. I was also greeted by an aggressive old baker and told me to "F*** OFF!" read more

Workers are extremely rude. Too busy on their phones, talking, or goofing off to actually bother to work. Also, the place is filthy. I don't trust food coming out of there. NEVER going back. read more

I love Jim Roma's subs! The bread is great as well as the meat and cheese. In reference to another review, "the veggies could use some love", I'm going to say I agree with that. But, the flavor is always spot on for me and so the veggies don't bother me at all. As far as the pizza goes, it's definitely not your typical New York style pizza. I do prefer to get one fresh to go. I'm not into the pizza that's been out a while. My go to for pizza is the white onion pizza. It's very flavorful and like nothing else I've ever had! I've never tried anything from the hot case. It doesn't look super appetizing. I have gotten some fresh made ravioli that they have in the fridge. Those were pretty decent. The one thing Roma's could work on is finding a happier group of young people to work the counter. They seem like they hate their lives. When I was that age and working with the public I was friendly and not yet tainted by the world. Hate to see them in ten years! HA! read more

i feel like this place has potential, but seeing as how they've been around a while i feel they are probably set in their ways. i'll breakdown what i've had from them and review each item. the pizza- this is the big draw. the first time i had it i tried a pizza that was half plain and half sausage and pepperoni. the sausage was just ok but the pepperoni was kinda bland and they didn't put much of it on there. the dough seemed like it could have used a little more time in the oven. the sauce was ok and the cheese was good but i felt that the bread overpowered everything. so next time i ordered extra cheese and it was a lot better, much more flavorful and the extra cheese must have had them keep it in the oven for a little longer because the crust was a little more done and it helped make a better pizza. i would definitely recommend ordering extra cheese. the bread- this is their next biggest seller (at least that's what i assume). i tried a loaf of their uncut italian bread and got a pack of their sub rolls. the texture for both was perfect, but the bread had a really yeasty flavor to it that i didn't care for, especially since i was using the bread to make french toast. the wings- ok so here's where there's lost potential. the wings are good, and they are breaded in a way that no one else in the area does (at least to my knowledge anyways). but the problem is that they fry them up in huge batches, sauce them, and then leave them in a display case, so you're never getting fresh out of the fryer wings. i understand that breading them like that and frying them to order could be a pain, but at least they could just leave them unsauced, and then reheat them in the fryer when they are ordered and then put the sauce on, that would make them so much better. out of the 3 times i ordered them, they were only heated up once, which was done in the oven, the other 2 times i had to microwave them when i got home. the hot sauce is good, and the bbq is good too, but it tasted like a bottled BBQ sauce called Open Pit BBQ. it's a decent sauce but i dunno if i like it on wings, they could have picked a better bbq sauce. desserts- most of the desserts on display don't look like they are made in house. i haven't tried much, i tried a donut and a canoli. the canoli didn't really have any flavor. the donut had a good flavor but the texture was really soft, it was ok but i think i'll skip them in the future. misc- i also tried the city chicken, ribs, and a sub. the city chicken had a good flavor but again then make it in big batches and leave it in a display case and don't heat it when you order it. the ribs were ok for baked ribs slathered in bottled sauce, but they don't really last past lunch so if you want them, get there early. the sub i got was ok, it would have been better if i didn't taste the yeast from the bread. all in all, this place is ok, but i dunno that i'd ever crave it. the cheese on the pizza is similar to Vestal Bakery, which in my opinion does pizza and bread a lot better than romas. i've never had any issues with the workers like some people have had on here, just wanted to put that out here. if you grew up on this stuff and you love it then by all means go here, but if you're in the mood for something new that will blow you away, then approach with caution. read more

Always have to get a sheet pizza and some bakery cookies when I come home to visit. Roma's is a fixture in Endicott that hopefully will always be around. read more

I would give it 5 stars but three because the little tiny boppers that work there rather stand around and talk than help you , walk past you 5 times before asking if u need help .. I will not eat there cause there pizza sits out for god knows how long and that's gross but if u are looking for sloppy pizza to order and go than 5 stars .. This is what we get here .. Everything else one star .. read more

If you like home-y subs and horrible pizza, come here! The staff always look like they hate their lives and don't want you to be making them get you food. They also could use better ingredients in their subs and pizza. Please don't try their pizza.. There's a Nirchis and Rossis and Nicks down the road. read more

awefull pizza, like bland spaghetti sauce on toast with sprinkle parm cheese, not sure who is getting mozzerella cheese on their pizza in these reviews but i asked jim roma and he said they dont make it like that...just sprinkle parm cheese....ewww, comon, save that for pasta...hardly cooked either, other stuff is ok but if you want an old school real tasty bakery go to his relative felix roma bakery 2 south page ave as I have had that as a little boy since the 70's, so much better crust, secret sauce recipe and a mozz/prov combo on top.....and a much larger and successful operation, supplies many restaurants with bread products including the infamous lupo's spiedies which helps them be successful for decades...sorry jim...felix is your nemesis...felixroma.com read more
