You kind of always have a soft spot for the closest local pizza place. These guys are maybe half a mile away, with decent prices and easy pickup/delivery service that they use a 3rd party website for. We ordered 3 large pizzas for a cat party - veggie, meat, and Hawaiian. Thin crusts and easy to eat, and were the first things to get eaten from our potluck meal. So what is exactly is a cat party? Well thats a whole nother story but basically the folks at Romanos made a very very good effort to follow my 'please arrange toppings in cat shape' instructions. So kudos to that! read more

Local pizza place hidden in the cut on Plainfield Avenue. The inside is small and quaint. Reminds me of the places I grew up going to in the 80s. So I get a little nostalgia with my slice. Plain and Romano's special are my recommendations. read more

Pizza is always on point and very good. Sauce is seasoned well, crust is fantastic and topping are usually a good amount. Nothing bad to say. read more

My husband and I have been ordering the chicken Marsala entree , penne vodka chicken parmigiana and grilled chicken caeser salad a few times a month and we have to say they're always on point! It's always delicious! Definitely a must try! read more

Great local joint. I ordered wrong after seeing what the table next to us got. The hot subs, cheesesteaks, and salads looked incredible. $18 for two people for lunch. read more

Terrible food. Ordered chicken tenders and fries. Tenders were the size and texture of frozen chicken nuggets from the supermarket and the fries inedible due to how burnt they were. Would not recommend at all. read more

Ordered over the phone 2 12" chicken parm subs and a slice of plain pizza. Not a difficult order right. Ok 20 min passed so I go to get it. The cashier must have been frazzled because she was out of it. I only received one 12" sub so I was not going to wait another 20 min for another. Not only that, she didn't heat up the slice of pizza after having to remind her that I ordered a slice. Bullshit pizza place. read more

I ordered their buffalo wings and they were not good they have feathers on them and no taste

They really stepped up their game. Every time we order something, we can't believe it's from there. Great improvement. We will continue to order of lunch and dinner from Romano's. read more

Crust is light and thin which is how it should be done. Diesel specials and the cheesesteaks are where it's at. All that aside they sell a slice that's entirely made out of spaghetti with bacon and Parmesan sprinkled over top. Crispy on the outside kinda mushy inside. Fn Delicious !! read more

Romano's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

So this place just recently got a new management team and I decided to go give it a try. From the second I walked in I immediately noticed how clean and tidy this place is. Their menu has a variety of items, ranging from pizzas (of course) to fresh subs, pastas, soups, and a wide variety of appetizers. Everything there is made fresh everyday and the staff is so catering to each customers needs/dietary restrictions. I tried the plain pizza, a margarita slice, and a jalapeño slice. The plain pizza was well done the way I love and it was perfect. The margarita was very flavorful and delicious. The jalapeño slice was well done like the plain one! Overall I'm really happy with the new management and with the variety of foods offered here. I'm excited to come back and try more than just the pizza next time! read more

This was our first time ordering from pizza spot. We aren't crazy about it besides the plain pizza. The calzone had cheese but it could've been cooked longer; it was kind of watery. We didn't like it. The chicken parmigiana sub wasn't bad. The bread was really soft though and didn't have that extra hard crispy edge. The mozzarella sticks weren't that hot so it didn't have that gooey cheese effect everyone loves. Delivery was quick too. read more

Romano's Pizza - a close up of a sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

An old standby from my Piscataway days-in fact, it's one of my favorite pizza places if I'm just going to stop in for a couple-three slices rather than looking for a whole pie. It's odd, when you order a whole pie here it always seems like the crust is a little too thick, but the pies they have made for slices have a thinner crust. Either way, the pizza is pretty good, but a little expensive. Their Sicilian slices are excellent-both crispy and a little chewy, delicious sauce and the cheese is well anchored and doesn't pull off with each bite. In my opinion, probably the best Sicilian in the area down there. I do also like their regular pizza, and the sausage they use is friggin' delicious. What I really like about Romano's is that they just try to be a pizza joint...not a lot of fancy pizzas sitting out, just your basics. And btw, if you want a really good chicken parm sandwich...they'll hook up your taste buds here. Not too saucy, chicken done just right, nice roll. If your in Piscataway, give them a shot...just beware of a busy lunchtime crowd during the week sometimes. read more

They charge me $10 for the lunch special when the sign says $7.99 I am a black woman I had my husband order the same meal he is white and guess what they charge him $7.49 I will never order from them again read more

Great pizza! Great people! Try the white spinach with ricotta and sausage delish! The dinners are made to order and also plentiful and good. read more

By far the WORST pizza I have ever eaten I got a special 2 pies wings and a soda $32 I couldn't tell if I was eating the pizza or the pizza box cardboard with cheese on it. The cheesesteak was mediocre as the bread was rock hard worst $47 I have ever spent read more

The New owners have turned this place back into a welcoming business. The food has significantly improved and customer service is excellent. It's good to have decent place near home again. read more

Best thing about Romano's: it's the pizza place in the neighborhood. Worst thing about it: it's overpriced, in my opinion. And honestly, I've had much better pizza; theirs are a bit greasy and floppy. But on the other hand, it's close, it's convenient, and the pizza isn't bad, just not great. The hot subs are okay, too; I like the meatballs or Italian sausage with bell peppers. If you're new to the neighborhood or work nearby and want someplace convenient, it's fine, and if you're having people over for movies and pizza, it'll work for that too. But I wouldn't make a special trip from far away. There are a few booths to dine-in, but most of its business is probably take-out, unless it has a lunch rush; never been there at that time. read more

AWESOME food is great, new owners as of March 2018! They are doing a great job! Chicken Parmigiana Eggplant Parmigiana The sauce....... I'm Italian and it was great! Will be back!! read more

I live real close to Romano's and my family and I have been ordering pizza from here since I can remember so we've been satisfied with them for many years. We usually order a large pie, and I've never been disappointed with their cheese, pepperoni, or veggie pies. Cheesy and delicious. I never really tried any of their other food here until just recently, where I friend and I actually ordered on Valentine's Day! We got the Penne Vodka pasta with chicken, garlic knots, a chicken Caesar wrap with onion rings, and a side salad with ranch. It was so much better than I expected! The delivery was pretty fast for a holiday and I was really satisfied. The portions were very large and we had a bunch of leftovers. I usually don't like penne vodka but the sauce on this one was terrific - very creamy and tasty. Would definitely go back for more. I loved my chicken caesar wrap and every bite was tasty, not like some wraps that have a small portion of chicken or dressing - this one was loaded. The also enjoyed the onion rings it came with and they were crunchy even the next day. Loved that the regular side salad came with red peppers and olives in addition to just lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. My only complaint would probably be that the garlic knots were a little more dry than I was used to, but they still had a good flavor. The bread that came with the pasta was also hard as a rock! Definitely soften those up before you stick it in the bag, guys! I will definitely let my family know that Romano's has great food in addition to their pizzas! read more

Came in here on a Saturday night with 15 Girl Scouts and 5 adults. They were welcoming and accommodating. Their pizzas were delish! Also loved their grilled chicken salad and chicken caesar salad. 5 pizzas and 3 salads was more than enough to feed all of us... ate the leftovers the next day- yum! ps- clean bathrooms :) We were staying at the Embassy Suites around the corner. They were willing to deliver there but we decided to eat there. Highly recommended! read more

Listen here. My man told me to grab a fat slice of 'za - fresh. But theres absolutely no chance this Romano is an Italian. This pizza was so limp it looked like me after 17 whiskey sours at last call. Not trying to compare grabbing a slice from Romanos to looking for literally anything when the lights turn on at the club, but here we are. If you're okay with limp, soggy pizza, this is your place. The bread that comes with the pasta is so hard it's like stuffing rocks into your mouth and trying to chew it. Like I'm not Arnold in The Terminator - I will not be back. read more

I admit I'm sentimental I remember when the building was built. Returned home after twenty years and got a pie. They don't make it like this west of the Mississippi. I won't say it's the best pizza I ever had but I would pay top dollar to get something like it out west. It's a shame that this place has two and half stars. Do your self a favor and order a fresh pie. Don't go cheap and get an old slice. It's damn good. Maybe not five star but live outside the north east for a while and you will maybe learn to appreciate the real deal. read more

I was staying at a nearby hotel and needed to order in for the night. This was the only place still open so I took my chance. Ordered delivery. Order was late. Arrived 45 minutes after the promised time so I was eating past midnight at this point. When delivery boy showed up he was missing half my order. He had to go back and get it. He manually added a 50% tip...PLUS delivery charge...WTF??? Points to remember: They overcharged me and don't use the prices listed on the menu. Food is not impressive. The food was overly greasy and cold by the time I finished the second half of my order. The delivery and overall service is bad. I will not be ordering from them ever again, even in times of desperation. read more

Good pizza place off of River Road. The staff is consistent and on-top of the orders. The non-pizza items are fair.

Used to be a great local joint. Declined and made comebacks in quality over the years. The "new management" they have in place now leaves something to be desired. One bite and the cheese (which is ridiculously salty) is totally falling off, the crust is rock hard on the outside and flimsy as all anything in the middle, just doesn't taste fresh. I was looking forward to this pizza so much and as I'm writing this I wish I never ate it. So disappointed. Has been an overall pretty good run thru the many years I've been going there. Never again, Romano's, never again. read more

This is a solid, reliable place. Several varieties of pizza which are all very good. Meatball sandwich is also good stuff. Get a couple cannolis to go! read more

Been ordering here all my life. It wasn't so great right after it changed owners years ago, but now they're great again. Maybe not the same as I remember as a kid but that was also back when they still had a cigarette vending machine up front LOL. Can't go wrong with any of their pies, but I especially love the pizza rolls. The staff are always helpful and friendly. read more

Convenient to my work. I meet my friend here most Fridays. I have tried a few varieties of pizza and they are all good. The service is good and the staff is friendly. read more

My evening was ruined thanks to Romano's. I ordered an eggplant parmigiana dinner and 8 garlic knots. I paid $12.00, but what I received wasn't worth half the price. What I received was beyond disappointing, and in my opinion, unacceptable. There were two thin slices of eggplant and what looked like a half cup of spaghetti. The side salad was also disappointing: one olive and a quarter of a slice of a cucumber and tomato on a small amount of lettuce. The garlic knots were smaller than a takeout sauce cup. To add to this, I only got seven knots instead of eight. This was my first dinner experience at Romano's and it will be my last. The portions were ridiculously small and I felt rather ripped off. My wife called the pizzeria and was very irate at the employee, but no heated word were exchanged. Someone from the pizzeria called back, presumanly the owner. He didn't apologize, and rudely hung up on her. There are times when the customer isn't right but in this case I believe we were. I strongly recommend against buying from here. There are tons of pizzerias out there wanting your business, and it seems Romano's is not one of them. read more

Growing up this place was awesome. Now that it's been 15+ years since I've eaten there I had the chance the other night. It's definitely not the same owners as before. Order a pizza and chicken fingers and couldn't even eat the pizza. Idk if they put rosemary on it but whatever spices they use ruined the pie. Couldn't even finish the first slice. Chicken fingers were good but honey mustard was poor quality. Cans speak for the rest of the menu but don't think I'll be eating here when I back in the old stomping grounds read more

Got a meatball and pepper pie here tonight. It was great! Not the least bit greasy (like at a lot of places). Large, tasty meatball slices. We'll be back! read more

The indisputable worst pizza in Piscataway. Years ago the place was redone, and under new management. While the place looks good now. the prices are ASTRONOMICAL when you consider the quality of the food there. The pizza is brutal. Try anything with chicken on it and you'll be greeted with chunks of fat and gristle. The pizza is a joke, completely floppy and mediocre for what you're paying for. The absolute only reason this place is still in business is because there is a lack of food in the area, and I suspect they do quite well during lunch time. As drastic as this sounds, I'd recommend going/staying hungry before trying this place. read more

There was entirely too much playing going on. I was sitting down waiting for a cheesesteak and heard something metal dropped and when i look the main guy playing around was laughing as he picked up the spatula off the ground used to make prepare the meat. He turned around and put that same spatula back on the grill without washing is off. The person that stepped away from making the meat came back to the grill and picked up that same spatula like it was normal business. If you decide to eat there after reading this you are totally on your own. read more
