The pizza here was really good, especially if you're looking for authentic Jersey-style pizza! The empanada was a little different from what I'm used to, it reminded me of taco meat wrapped in an empanada shell. The restaurant was clean, well-stocked, and had a great selection of pizzas, wings, empanadas, and more, so be sure to check out the menu. Even with a steady flow of customers coming in and out, there was no long wait. Ordering was easy, and my food was ready in what felt like less than five minutes. Definitely worth checking out. Enjoy! read more

Like cmon! I love how cozy this place is. Everyone in town comes here from my little band of kids coming from activities and school to the business owners from around the neighborhood. Great beverage selection and try the pesto slice! read more

Great service to the community. Family owned. 10 out of 10. No notes. Great pizza, great atmosphere.

This place has literally the best everything, and I've eaten a lot of pizza in my day. My friend and I shared the penne vodka slice which was by far my favorite, creamy and delicious I could've eaten a whole pie! We also shared the pesto pizza and grandma slice, into end that we had the eggplant slice, the eggplant was grilled so tender and delicious. Also had a chicken Parmesan garlic knot slider, amazing imagine a giant garlic knot but with an explosion of chicken Parm, yum! We also share the buffalo chicken wrap, the wrap itself is made in the house! It is unlike anything I've ever seen it held in the chicken so nicely and did not make a mess and the buffalo sauce was just the right amount I loved it, if you were in the Maplewood area please stop by! read more

great food, great people making a contribution to their neighborhood. we appreciate them for the help during hard times

Super yummy and fresh food. Made an order for about 6 people with different accommodations for different things and we got everything correct and delicious read more

Ordered a pizza with mushrooms and onions. Got an over cooked sausage pie with raw vegetables dumped on top. The pie sucked!!!!!!

You should be able to give zero stars for failed delivery! Not sure if it's RGs issue or the Slice App, but trying to get a refund from this place is exhausting. I ordered a pizza at 8:15pm via Slice that was meant to be delivered 9:10pm. Tried calling RG at 9:25pm but no answer. Ended up having to order a new pizza from west order which I had to go pick up as by this time everyone was hungry and it was getting too late. I eventually got home with the new pizza at 10:15pm and the delivery guy from RG arrived with what I assume was a very cold pizza....2hrs after I first ordered and an hour after it's expected delivery time - told him to take it back. We've had delivery issues with RG in the past, but the food was good so stuck with them. This last experience might have done it in for us, will need to find a new local pizza place. Slice App customer service is TERRIBLE! Lesson learnt, don't use the app and just call the restaurant direct. On the app it's a shot in the dark whether the restaurant actually gets the order and they provide zero customer service. read more

Update to my previous review. While it was certainly frustrating, the owner, Vinnie, called me several times afterwards to make things right. He apologized, took ownership, and was genuine. I couldn't ask for much more. I plan to order from them again given Vinnie's hands-on approach and personal touch. Their sandwiches were actually also very tasty (we got a mixed platter). read more

This is very close to our house and whenever we get some pizza cravings this one hits the spot. Great customer service and they serve authentic Italian pizza. Would love to try their pasta next time. We have been here 3-4 times. Fresh, awesome, and family owned! read more

This is by far the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. I mean I grew up eating pizza Friday night watching WWE SmackDown. I wish I had this pizza in my life at that point in time. I put all the seasoning toppings on the pepperoni because it only enhances your taste and flavor. But by far my favorite slice has to be the chicken bacon ranch pizza. It has everything you need on it chicken, bacon, that special White Sauce . What more can you ask for? Its way better than the other pizza places in the area. And the [6-piece] wings were 4/5. read more

I went there to try their vegan cheese pizza. It was $4 a slice which was steep but I wanted to try anyway. I wasn't too fond of the vegan cheese. The slice with the tomatoes wasn't too great but the spinach slice was pretty good. I wish they would of put more tomato sauce on the slices. read more

In the past few months of our collective nightmare of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Roman Gourmet has provided one of our family's most consistent and reliable bright spots. One of the first pizzerias we tried since first setting foot in Maplewood five years ago, Roman Gourmet has been amazing at keeping things as close as possible to life before the coronavirus. The restaurant, which is only available for takeout, remains bright and busy, with the owner providing pleasant small talk. It pays to call in your pick-up order ahead of time (instead of using silly middleman apps). Roman Gourmet gets everything right, and often exactly estimates the time it'll take for your order to be ready. What I have really come to appreciate since the 'rona shut down so much is how adequately staffed they are. On a recent Friday afternoon, there were 10 employees making pizzas, filling orders, folding boxes, answering the phone and running the register. While it might not seem like a significant detail, it stands head and shoulders above many other establishments that sometimes don't even answer the phone or place you on hold (and subject you to the Muzak). Aside from the visual evidence that Roman Gourmet is providing jobs to several local employees, it also means that you get your meal as efficiently as possible. That in itself is priceless. Of course, no pizzeria would be worth patronizing if its product wasn't excellent. Thankfully, Roman Gourmet hits the mark there, too. The tomato sauce used in its pizzas is very nicely balanced: Not too sweet, not too acidic and not too spicy. The sauce-to-cheese proportion is also at the perfect ratio, and the crust has a great crispiness to it. Just make sure you eat it hot! The pepperoni is top-notch, and the chicken parm subs are excellent. Their salads are generously sized and consistently fresh. It's our No. 1 go-to pizzeria! read more

The pizza is amazing! Would not change a thing about it. Been coming here since I was a little kid. I came in there a few weeks ago too grab a slice since I haven't been there in a while the young lady was super nice, I sat down and ate my food. Then, a cook from in the kitchen was staring at me and was making me feel highly uncomfortable. I just wanted too enjoy my food. I've been going there since I was very young and I don't want it too stop going there because of the older gentlemen working in the kitchen while I was sitting at the table enjoying my meal. Management can you please do something about the older gentlemen working in the kitchen. He was making me as a paying customer feel very uncomfortable. Thank you! read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. The Buffalo chicken slice is fantastic. Would highly recommend

Pizza is pretty good but I'm not sure it's worth it to keep patronizing. Every single order my drinks are forgotten. And now I get burnt garlic knots. It's truly unacceptable to see food is burnt and still serve it to a customer. read more

Chicken parm sliders are amazing. Pizza is good, better with toppings for sure-- good if you want just a good old fashioned NY style pizza. The staff has always been friendly and quick in my experience. Most people get takeout or delivery but there's no reason not to eat right at the restaurant. It's very casual, not fancy at all, and somewhat small, but I find it charming. One of my go-to places and a staple of the neighborhood. read more
