(Forgot to take photos of anything because it was so delicious) From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly. My partner had been here before and always said how good it was, but this was my first time since I just moved to the area, so I was really excited to try it. The place is under new ownership, and the owner himself welcomed us and chatted with us like we'd known each other for years while he made our food, such a great vibe. We started with a plain pie to test the waters and it was honestly amazing. I went back the next day to try more and got a buffalo chicken slice to eat there and a chicken caesar wrap to take to work later. Everything was so good. The wrap was light but very filling, and the buffalo chicken slice was so good I ordered a second one to go before I even left. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality pizza and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! read more

Your neighborhood pizzeria has been reborn. Romeo's Pizza is now under new management and they are taking things up a notch from a regular pizzeria into an exciting local spot with delicious new favorites. Not to mention their staff is extra kind to boot! Not many pizzerias can say they make their own homemade mozzarella, and theirs was so creamy and fresh! When there's rice balls on the menu, you know, I'm ordering it! Again, not something you typically see on standard pizzeria menus. I devoured theirs! The buffalo calamari was perfectly crispy with a bold kick! I really enjoyed the twist on a classic appetizer. Served with ranch on the side, delicious! The spicy piggy pizza had me sold with dollops of ricotta, fresh prosciutto and hot honey! Man oh man this was delicious, all the components of the pizza coming together so nicely. The crème de la crème was Bobby's triple threat pizza. A Sicilian pie with tomato, pesto and vodka sauce. Truly a masterpiece! The trio of sauces blend excellently in each bite. And of course we had to test if their plain slice passed the test. Happy to report it was a solid 10 out of 10! We ended our meal with some of their amazing fresh zeppoles. They have a small, clean dining area with classic red and white plaid tablecloth. The vibe feels familiar, like you're at a family member's house. Great local spot, worth adding into your takeout or dine-in rotation! read more

Let's start with pro for everything. Burger cooked well. White slice was freshly hot and oily flavored . The fries crispy and decent amount. The penne Vodka creamy and light good portion for a lunch size. Allthis for about $30 so very mutual with the pricing y'all decide on that. Cons The slice so thick, a lot of breeding. While the fries are crispy no seasoning no flavor. The Bun not toasted so was just cold . To much mayo. Overall would I recommend yes. 3.2 outta 5 read more

Within this small plaza, you will find a pizzeria with lots of possibility. Website: 4/5 It has the standard pizzeria template produced by Slice for its menu items with a flat generic description at the bottom. It is easy to navigate nonetheless, for you are immediately brought to the menu where it lists many items there. However, only a few of the menu items had images accompanying them. Brand: 5/5 The overall brand effuses the standard Italian pizzeria, for there is a large Italian chef statue greeting any customers from behind the glass window, and there are plenty of menu items available behind the glass counters. The sign does make use of font with the cursive "Romeo's" and the bold, straight letters of "Pizza." Ambiance: 4/5 The environment definitely brought me at ease, for the presence of food behind the counters and the large space of the table sufficed enough. Although the table we chose did have an uneven rickety stance, I would say that I felt comfortable throughout the time. The space did not accommodate the customer area, though I did not have a problem with it. The new management expressed interest in the past to putting up on the wall canvases produced by local artists. Indeed, the walls did not have any personality that distinguishes Romeo's Pizza from any other pizzeria. Service: 5/5 The staff were incredibly accommodating with good rapport. We experienced no real issues when ordering. Wait Time: 5/5 The food came without any problems or delays. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Buffalo Calamari and a bottle of water, which also came with a bowl of bleu cheese sauce and two lemon slices. One of the staff said "That looks good," and I could not agree more. This is the first time I ever had calamari and I am truly grateful for this first experience. While it did have a sharp smell that stayed, it nevertheless had the savory taste that had spiciness but not too much. The blue cheese sauce especially neutralizes the heat while giving it a filling flavor. The forms of the calamari held, for they looked and tasted well-cooked. Worth The Money?: 5/5 Romeo's Pizza's signature dish is the House of Jumbo Pizza, which is a thin crust pizza filled with many toppings evenly portioned. I could see how it could serve as part of catering for a celebration. If the staff encapsulated the establishment into an aphorism, it would be something like "Quality is what we strive for." Indeed, I would like to see that ideal of quality to become the cornerstone of Romeo's Pizza. I could see it with that Buffalo Calamari. I felt the pleasant, fulfilled ambiance that the food brought me within the restaurant and throughout the day. With the right amount of spiciness and heartiness, the Buffalo Calamari was the meal that I had no regrets trying. The wait time appropriately fitted the meal's preparation, and the service fitted. Despite the narrow space of the pizzeria, it did not outweigh the food I ordered, for it reflected the Italian pizzeria characteristic of cooking a traditional Italian dish with a modern twist. Nothing about the ambiance disrupted me during our wait time, not even the rickety table. If new management is in charge of Romeo's Pizza, then I would suggest renaming the establishment, since another, unrelated "Romeo's Pizza" exists in the same township in Raintree Plaza. This one is in Cousin's Plaza, so maybe the new name could be "Cousin Romeo's Pizza?" I would also recommend adding more images of the menu items to the website's menu. Also, if the new management is open to decorating the walls with canvases, I would be curious as to what the common themes would be. I will ultimately say that the price is worth it. Rating: 5/5 Stars I definitely see hope for Romeo's Pizza. Recommend To... Anyone on the highway looking for an Italian meal to go, for Cousin's Plaza is small like the space inside Romeo's Pizza. read more

Romeo's Pizza - Buffalo Calamari - Pizza Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

My husband and I stopped in to Romeo's on Rt. 33 for dinner. He ordered the veal parmesan and I ordered eggplant parmesan. They came with a side salad and some of the best semolina bread I have ever had! The portions were huge. We both have lunch for tomorrow. The owner Bobby was so fun and friendly to talk to. Finished off dinner with a cappuccino. So worth the trip! read more

Amazing food, great people. Never had a bad meal here. Nick always is so kind and has a great attitude.

Best pizza in the area if you like real NY style pizza. Fried chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella is a must. This is the best Romeo's, the 'OG'! read more

Says under new ownership. Had pizza and a salad and both were terrific. Will be back.

A slice of plain pizza was 3.84 but also the pizza was terrible. I ate 3 bites ans almost puked. Don't ever go to this establishment.

I needed a last minute dinner and there wasn't really much open close by, so I decided to try out this restaurant. The staff seemed friendly, the place was clean , and the food came out pretty quickly. I got a chicken cheesesteak. The bread was crispy which I enjoyed. and the chicken was good but kinda flavorless with the cheese. I feel as if it was missing something. I enjoyed the lettuce and tomato on it. The price was fair. There was a parking lot to park with plenty of space. read more

Best baked ziti around!! All of their dinners are great and love their hot sandwiches. Especially their Philly cheesesteaks! Must give them a try. read more

We just ordered from Romeo's for the first time and I gotta tell you, I can't believe we didn't find out about this place sooner. The food was excellent, the portions are generous, the prices are super reasonable and the delivery driver was very friendly. With the inundation of local Italian restaurants this place is definitely the gem. Their menu has something for everyone and I look forward to ordering again soon. read more

Best Pizzeria in New Jersey! Coming from Brooklyn, NY we do have high standards when it comes to pizza, and Romeo's Pizza is delicious! The regular slice tastes just as good as any New York pizza, and the vodka grandma slice is delicious! They also are beautiful, very sweet people that provide excellent customer service and a warm, welcoming environment. Highly recommended! God bless you guys! read more

Romeos seems to be falling short over the past few years. As a local pizza source, I have been a customer of Romeos for many years. I have to say that things are falling apart. I remember a time when this place was operated by the person who once owned Palumbo's Pizza. It's been ages since I saw the original owner in any of the Romeo's locations. More is the pity. My last 3 pizza purchases have been very disappointing. At best, the pizzas have tasted like dish water. The tomato sauce has tasted very watered down. Today, I purchased 2 pizzas from Romeo's. The plain pie was the same as the last 3 pies I purchased. As usual, it tasted like dish water. The Sicilian pie was GROSS. There were several black hairs on this pie! I was once a devoted customer, but as time has passed, this place has become a great disappointment. I will no longer buy a Romeo's pizza (or any other item from their menu) again. Romeo's, you lost a once dedicated customer. read more

PIZZA REVIEW: having been a big fan of pizza for well over 40 years plus lol, I can honestly say I have an idea what I believe good pizza is an again what it is not. For me it's typically always thin crust with a slightly crisp bottom and not too much dough on the bone. Then it's all about the gravy kids. The sauce must be a perfect medium between acid and sweetness and evidence of tomato chunks & garlic. Well the crust is thin & crispy on the bottom but a lil doughy on the bone. The sauce lacked flavor big time as the crowd goes boo and barley a dollop on the slice. Also a bit over burdened with mozzarella cheese. Now the slices are large, but the pizza is just okay. I do not settle for just ok pizza unless I'm in midnight munchie mode. Sorry Romeo perhaps Juliet needs to give you another lesson in the art of gravy making. You get the thumbs down in the pizza department. read more

Not bad for a local place that I pulled out from Yelp and close to where I was. Ordered: Mozzarella sticks: very crispy and tasty Fries : nice coating on top almost like seasoned fries. Slice of pizza: sauce is pretty good but could be crispier on the crust side but overall nice size and enough cheese. read more

I've been going here for years. It's always delicious, fresh and hot. I've gotten everything from pizza to subs to salads and everything is large portions. The salads have small & large options and the smallest is pretty big. I also have picked up, online ordered and phoned in orders and never had any problems. This place also has the best prices around. I highly recommend this place. I've tried a bunch of pizza places in the surrounding area and this always comes out on top. read more

I come here quite often, the pizza is good and the slices are huge. The sandwiches are also real good as well. Try the chicken cutlet and roasted pepper hero, always my go to. read more

No. Waited an hour and 20 minutes for delivery on a weekday. All the food came cold. Buffalo calamari was so chewy it was hard for me to swallow. Veal Parm tasted horrible... hard and overcooked. Sauce tastes like chef Boyardee. Pizza was good but ice cold. Called to complain about the food being cold because I didn't want to tell them it tasted awful and was cold. They told me they could give me a five dollar credit for my next order... there won't be a next time. Driver lost my receipt. read more

Got there before closing so pizza was reheated. Could tell that it is good when fresh. Service from staff was good. The only thing I would change is the indoor aesthetics about the place as it's rather outdated. For example, there are bizarre statues everywhere. read more

There are several Romeo's around Monmouth County but this one might be the best. Buried in the back of the Cousins Plaza shopping center on Rt. 33, you are immediately greeted by a wonderful aroma as you enter the door that says "Eat here!" The chicken francaise is delightful and the chicken pizzaiola even pleased my finicky mom. But this is just the warmup to the piece de resistance, their pizza. The portion sizes are huge and the variety is only surpassed by the delectable taste. I love this place and you will too. read more

Had the Honey mustard grilled chicken sub on garlic bread and it was awesome. Ordered in from a friend's house in the area, and was still nice and warm. It really hit the spot. I would do it again. read more

The pizza's pretty good. Not great, but good and decently priced. The eggplant parm sandwich is pretty good too. I think it's worth checking out. read more

I placed an order online for delivery. First, the website is very user-friendly and easy to navigate! Second, I ordered Escarole & Bean soup and a Traditional cheese pizza. The soup arrived piping hot and it was one of the best soups I have ever tasted! There was so much flavor in this soup and I ended up eating the whole quart! As for the pizza - yummy! A thin crispy crust, lots of cheese and a very flavorable sauce. This was my first order at Romeo's Pizza but it will definitely not be my last! read more

Our second time eating/ordering Romeo's. First time we ordered a plain pie and a chicken sub this time I picked up a plain pie to go. Both times were excellent and the lady that's working there is very nice! Our family ate the pie so fast that I didn't get a chance to snap a photo... Next Monday! read more

Pizza is nothing special and whenever we order delivery it takes an excessive amount of time and the food is almost ALWAYS gauranteed to be cold. Also alot of recent issues with undercooked chicken! Sorry but the not so awesome reviews may help these things improve! read more

Was in the area for work and came here 5 days in a row. The food is great. Pizza was excellent.

Leeann is the best (she's the owner) food is amazing always and the restaurant never disappoints!

You know when you watch those shows where the chef goes into a restaurant, and then dogs all their food, and shows the owners how to turn their shop around, and in the end they improve and everyone is happy? I'm the unlucky customer who who had the "before" meal. Truly terrible, it tasted as though the pans still had soap residue and some strange metallic taste that overwhelmed the leathery parmigiana. There was no excuse for serving that, Even a no frills frozen parm would have fave fared better. No pride, love, or respect went into that meal. read more

The pizza is really good. Better than the other Romeos locations. Fast delivery as well!

I've been going to Romeos for years, and never had a bad meal. Everything is delicious. Eggplant is my favorite and they always make it right. They are quick at delivering too, which is great. The staff is very friendly and is always welcoming. read more

I have been coming here for years, I am always pleased with the food it is really good especially the pizza! We are native New Yorkers and my parents love the pizza here.

Highly recommended!! Service is always prompt and correct. Being born and raised in Brooklyn and from an Italian family, I'm extremely picky with my pizza and sauce. Romeos feels like home.
