The young'n behind the counter graciously pointed us to the faded and torn menu under plexiglass on the counter when we stuttered out some nonsense about finding them on the map. She ordered the cheese pizza, no sauce extra cheese, and I adventurously chose The Hornet. "That's a good one" the boy behind the counter said as he took my card. Oh boy howdy, he was right. "Squick, squick, squick" went out shoes on the checkered floor as walked into the dining room, waded through the salad bar exploded across the floor, and took a seat in a booth to await our pies. When I say I have never seen a cheese pizza with no sauce look that good...every pizza parlor, every chain restaurant we have ever gone to has burned my wife's "cheesy bread" to smithereens. This was a work of art. The Hornet had a lovely kick that didn't linger, sausage, ham, and pepperoni with excellent flavor, and a pizza base with the perfect balance of soft and crisp. We will return. No idea when, this is Athens Texas after all, but we will return!

I was so grossed out that we got up and requested to stop the order and they refunded it. I have never been so grossed out before. I can not believe we ever ordered pickup from there. We will never again thats for sure. The chairs were so grimy our shirts were sticking to them. I used my wipes to try to wipe it and it was so caked on I couldn't get it off. These pics were just the edge side of the table I was sitting at. So for anyone else that orders pickup from there and isn't aware of the inside conditions like us, this is your warning.

On the plus side, the ranch dressing was wonderful.

The lunch menu offered a great variety of options, and every meal included a fresh house salad and warm rolls. We ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, a Stromboli, and grilled chicken with grilled vegetables. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The kids shared a large cheese pizza, and it was outstanding. The crust was perfectly cooked with great flavor, and the pizza was easily large enough for them to share. In fact, every portion was so generous that we asked for to-go boxes as soon as our meals arrived because we knew there was no way we'd finish everything! The service was friendly, the food arrived promptly, and the quality exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for authentic Italian food with generous portions and excellent value, Roma Italian Bistro is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely return the next time we're in Jacksonville.

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much, but not only did we eat almost the whole thing, we argued over who got the leftovers for dinner later! Don't sleep on this place! Try the pizza!
