    Cheese, sausage, mushrooms and pepperoni
    Jeffrey B.

    Ro's is our go-to pizza. I grew up eating their pizza and now that I'm 25 minutes away we order the same pizza but have it not fully cooked and not cut. The drive home having to smell the car wafting with deliciousness is almost unbearable. We finish it off in our oven, cut, and enjoy! A local Watertown staple for as long as I've been alive. If you love pizza, you have to try it.

    Interesting. This pizza bears little resemblance to its New Haven cousins, but it is very cheesy, and has some unique flavors. The crust was so perfectly round that it almost seemed like it started with a food service unbaked shell. It may well have been homemade with some sort of sheeting tool. The sauce was a little pasty, but some nice sharp flavors were present in the cheese. There was a ring of burned cheese over much of the edges of the pie forming a sort of "outer skin". I think this is supposed to be part of the charm, but it seemed bitter and burned. All in all, I can see why this spot has been so popular since the 1940's.

    Meat lovers special. And me being a meat lover makes this an ideal choice.

    I hesitate to give this place a good review because like so many others, I don't want people to know my secret. Here's the deal though... So yeah, you grew up in New York City...or New Haven...or some other place that is considered a 'pizza mecca'. Well guess what? Nobody cares. Ro's makes an amazing pizza. It's not a thin crust, its not a deep dish... It's uniquely Ro's. They don't try to emulate some other typical pizza, and they don't try to make anything but a pizza that is uniquely thiers. Fact is..this place is magical, and the pizza they make is like nothing you've had before. So go ahead and tell us all how awesome your other pizza is, but we know better. Anyone who give this place less than 4 stars hates puppies and kittens. Seriously...eat here.

One must sample the local pizza while in town. I think it's an unwritten traveler's rule in some Connecticut guidebook. Dimitri's popped up in the number one local spot according to Yelp. Drove over and walked through the take-out door. Saw a pizza get pulled out of the oven and set on the counter. Cheese was bubbling and the smell confirmed I was in the right space. Placed my order for a mixed topping pizza and an eggplant parm grinder. chatted with the folks behind the counter while I waited. Nice people. Pizza got taken back to my temporary home and it was everything I expected and more. Saved my eggplant parm grinder for lunch on Sunday. Restaurant eggplant usually disappoints but this was actually some of the best I've ever had and I've had lots. It's one of my absolute favorite dishes and I make it at least every other week. There are a lot of pizza spots dotting the landscape. This is one dot on the map that I would revisit. Sadly, I'm back home in California where we have nothing that even comes close to Dimitri's. Enjoy! I sure as heck did.

The staff is always super friendly, the vibes are cozy and local, and it truly feels like one of those family-owned neighborhood gems (I'll confirm next time). The pizza? Consistently great. I love the perfect char they get, flavorful without ever being burnt. I usually order the Buffalo Bentley with a blue cheese drizzle, which is a solid 7.9/10 for me. But honestly, the Blazin' Hot Pepper slightly edges it out. It is on the spicier side (beware), but wow--it's so good. I never thought I'd be into long hots, but consider me converted. Easy 8/10. I've never had a bad experience here, so these are genuinely honest thoughts. They have a solid variety of pies to choose from, and if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out.

    Ordered take out later in the day, wanted to finally give this place a shot. The reviews were mixed…read morebut it seemed only fair. We got a large half bacon & half pepperoni, as well as some garlic knots. The garlic knots were pretty decent, some crispier than others but that was fine, & brought a side of marinara. In my opinion some real garlic could ve gone a long way into making them more than decent, as the dough itself was good. The pie itself half some flop to it but not to the point where everything fell apart. I personally liked the flavor of the sauce but felt the cheese could've been a bit cheesier & the pizza dough was good. Again, these are my personal opinions, everyone has their own. There's not much parking available at all, I parked on the side of the street; just for reference. The total price was also pretty decent for both items. The ambiance was pretty good & the timing they stated for pick-up was accurate. The service was also nice.

They're a couple of great guys with tremendous hospitality among them but I personally don't care for their food. Pizza was underwhelming and the meatball parm was bland and fell flat. Tiny place with very limited parking along the street. They do a ton of deliveries within this area. The first time I was there they forgot the pepperoni on my pizza. I brought it back for a refund. They immediately said without skipping a beat that they'll remake it for me. I didn't have time on my side that day. They them said that they'd deliver it to me but I wasn't going to be close by and was leaving town. They even mentioned to do some pepperoni and put it in top. I refused that one and said that's jimmy rigging it which is a no no in my book. They ended up refunding me then to remedy this situation. I was happy with that to end up giving them another try at a later time. In not saying the food is bad. I'm only saying that it's not likeable in my opinion. Their service was pretty quick to have the pizza made. No lengthy wait. The decor inside is plain. They were in the middle of a remodel when i was there. They recently took the place over from the original owners who were there for umpteen amounts of years before this. I wish them the best of luck in their future success with this place.

Really top notch. Look and feel of the holiday decorated (but not over the top) dining area made a dreary and cold night disappear. My friend and I split a calamari with hot peppers and Gorgonzola to start. Maybe the best I've ever had (although the marinara served with it is meh/bland...so I just stick to lemon). I am already planning on when I can feasibly get back there to order again. He then ordered the veggie panini with a side salad both of which looked like a work of art. I ordered the cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe. My favorite combo. It was out of this world. Perfect cook on the pasta and rabe. It was warm and spicy and savory all at once. A must try.
