Schroeder's New Deli - a sign on the wall - Pizza Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Soooo good always fresh and the same! Everything is great so try it all! Fran is our favorite waitress absolutely the best! We love it!

Visiting from Tennessee.. cute downtown area, small patio and inside is small... stopped in for lunch and had to wait for table but service was quick... had the veggie sub with added avocado and it was sooo good... I like finding veggie sandwiches that have more to offer than lettuce tomatoes cucumbers and peppers... i really hate peppers ... I also really liked how all the veggies are chopped so u aren't having to bite thru tomatoes, cucumbers, or onions and pull them out of the sandwich. read more

Friendly service and can place to-go orders. I got my sandwich pretty quickly. Got an open face french bread tuna melt. I liked the sprouts on it which was different from typical melts. Would return here. read more

Passed by and stopped for a bite to eat! The food was delicious and the helpings were plenty! I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews?! The place was entirely full on the inside and even over flowed to their patio seating! I love that they were pet friendly and brought water for the pups that were dining in the fried pickles were yummy! The menu is full of good eats! I really couldn't decide! Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been here quite a few times and it's never been a disappointment. Even my picky 9 year old enjoyed her food.

Been Many times went Sunday with out of town friends. Waitress was great. First ordered the potato skins as appetizer. We did not get them until we all started our meal. Waitress said kitchen missed the order‍. Told they were training new staff. I had the Roast beef relief which is great when prepared as they did in the past. Sunday's had only 2 thin slices of roast beef. At first I thought it was a onion and sprout sandwich but did finally track done the RB. Did not make a fuss due to being in a group. My hope is that it was a mistake and not how they are going to be from now on. Truly disappointed but will give another chance in future read more

We have been here a few times now and can say that the food is consistently great! It's always fresh, and the portion sizes are just right. The service was top notch too! Definitely give it a try. read more

Great food, interesting atmosphere, and excellent service. We will definitely be back.

Downtown Rome has really become a cute little area, so I'm a little surprised that I have come to prefer Schroeder's second location (a few miles away on Martha Berry Blvd.) to its original spot on Broad. I think the major reason for this is ambience. There's something about the original spot that carries every voice in the building, and I've never been able to have a conversation there without leaning in close and having to raise my voice to be heard. You're going to hear as much of the conversations at surrounding tables as at your own. This isn't a problem at the Martha Berry location. The food is the same in both locations - really terrific pizzas, pretty good calzones and sandwiches - and I have not had any complaints about the service in either restaurant. Word to the wise, though - don't come to Schroeder's if you're in a hurry. There is nothing on the menu that requires a lot of prep, but I've rarely received my order within 25 minutes of ordering. When I say nothing requires a lot of prep, here's what I mean. The sandwiches range in price from about $4.50-$6.50. As you might guess, what you're getting for this price is mostly cold cuts and a bunch of toppings that are sometimes warmed up on the grill. Schroeder's offers a lot of grilled pitas and subs as well as pizzas and calzones, but you can tell it's a matter of throwing the ingredients in the bread and warming them up. That doesn't take half an hour. I usually get a pizza or calzone, which I understand takes a little longer because of baking time. I never go when in a hurry, so who cares, honestly. The draft pitchers are cheap (but the beer selection is pretty limited) and the grub is usually better than decent. The grilled chicken pita is delicious, but would be a lot better if the meat didn't taste like Tyson's ready-to-eat grilled strips. You know what I mean. The strips have fake grill marks and have a sort of rubbery consistency and an artificial smoke taste. All this is hidden beneath truly yummy sauce, mushrooms, cheese, and sprouts, but I would absolutely be willing to pay another dollar in order to get some good chicken in there instead. I tried Mom's chicken salad sandwich. It was tasty if you like your chicken salad sweet. I personally don't care for sweet pickles, and their chicken salad is loaded up with them, so I'm not the target demo for that sandwich. It was served on bland wheat bread. I guess I'm a snob because I like my bread full of nuts and seeds, so that one was a miss for me. Dad opted for the chicken strips. They're a staple at every restaurant in the world, more or less. Schroeder's are decent - if you like frozen chicken strips. These were definitely out of the bag. We all had the fries. They're waffle fries, which I love. However, Schroeder's is hit and miss on the fries. Some cooks know that you don't dump fries in oil until the oil is already hot - that's how you make sure the outside is crispy, not soggy. These were some *soggy-ass fries.* Meh. But hey! It's not all doom and gloom, I promise. The pizza is a consistent highlight, with crust that tastes homemade and pies that achieve the right combination of crisp and grease. I've never been disappointed in one of their pies. True - Mellow Mushroom and Johnny's pies are overall better and more creative, Bella Roma is where to go if you want deep dish. But for consistently good and extremely affordable, you cannot beat Schroeder's. read more

Our server was great. It was very busy but she was attentive and kept our glasses full. The food was great

This may not be fine dining, but check out the prices and consider the variety! As we went to sit out back and a waitress peaked over, my friend said "is the outside open?" to which the server responded "not in two years". So funny, moving away as young adults, growing up, & reconvening; it's allllll GOOD and SO FAMILIAR down to the salsas and the skins! (Nachos too & that damn air pretzel) Yummy, tasty, affordable simple, and consistent! Wait staff is kind & place is way cleaner without the carpet. read more

This is the Friday spot in Rome because it's just a great place to start the weekend. They have great homemade sandwiches. Try the okra tots. If you order a pizza or calzone, be ready to wait, but the service is typically fast on the other items. In the summer, they host local bands outside in the courtyard, but if they don't have a band, there are plenty of eclectic songs on the old jukebox. read more

I've been going to Schroeder's for years and have always loved it. After today I will not be returning. Our server, Brandon, was unfriendly, never checked in on us and the staff as a whole was very rude. We order mozzarella sticks, a French dip, a hot dog, and okra. It took over 35 minutes to get the mozzarella sticks to come out while everyone around us were already eating their entrée. We got the rest of our food 45 minutes after ordering. We got no sort of apology. The food was okay. Okra was soggy and the hot dog was covered in unnecessary breading. I was then charged for the wrong amount and I told a server who completely ignored me. For the amount that they charge for a sandwich and hot dog, I expect it to be great with good service. I did not get anywhere close to that. Will not be returning. read more

Best Deli hands-down in Rome!! MUST try Pita Tosh Roast Beef Sandiich on Pita w/sprouts, OR Turkish Sub on French bread with sprouts!! You will LOVE their mixed baskets of fried okra/tater tots too!! Fantastic Reuben Sandwiches on Marble Rye, and delicious Potato skins too!! Highly Recommend!! A+++ read more

The sandwiches were a mix of good and really good. My kids got a slice of cheese pizza each and neither of them liked them. It seemed like they buy the pizza pre-made. read more

When I stopped I was thinking two things, one was that I could get a cold beer when I saw the lighted beer signs in the window, the other was the hope that I could get a good New York style deli sandwich. Desite the sign they did not sell beer on Sunday but if you bring a church program you can get a 10% discount. The sandwich was decent but did not have the amount or quality of corned beef I expected and I had to put my own dressing on the sandwich. There are several good New York style Deli's in Atlanta the owner should try a reuben at one. Where's the beef. read more

Schroeder's New Deli - Pizza Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Dani was our waitress and she was wonderful! We ordered the Italian sub sandwich and the Reuben sandwich. Both sandwiches were wonderful! Our waitress suggested the reuben and it did not disappoint. I washed it down with a nice cold Yuengling draft beer. This restaurant / Deli has a Cool vibe to it and I was told that it has been at this location for 38 years. Go check it out and I think you'll really like it. Say hi to Dani for us! read more

Schroeder's is the classic college town deli. Food is more than edible and they have enjoyed a long loyal following. Recent years have seen a revitalization of Broad St. and dining options. Schroeder's seems to be falling behind with the competition. A menu update, decor update and a consistent even if short wine list would serve their business well. A pressure wash of the awning and keeping the windows clean also can't hurt business. I wish Schroeder's well, but, there is a reason the other outdoor dining areas are full and Schroder's appears to be often not. read more

Yelp's definition of a three-star is "A-OK," and as far as my experience with Schroeder's New Deli, that's a pretty succinct description of what it was for me. I only go to Rome a few times each summer, to catch some Rome Braves games, but I can't say that I've really took the time to explore the town. I had some time to kill, so I decided to rectify this habit, and I found myself in Downtown Rome long before not. After a little bit of walking around, I decided that this was as good as place as any to look for something to eat, considering the vast majority of Rome had mostly chain restaurants, and not that I have anything against chains, it's just I prefer to take in something more local and unique whenever I'm somewhere I'm unfamiliar with. Schroeder's won out for me, because I felt like having a calzone. Broad Street on a Saturday afternoon on gorgeous summer day was surprisingly quiet, and parking was not an issue. Downtown Rome has an abundance of street parking that claims to all have two hour limits; I'm not going to volunteer to test whether or not such is actually enforced, but keep that in mind if you decide to park your car and go to a place and get sloshed for several hours, or watch a sporting event. Needless to say, I was able to find a spot on the adjacent street to Schroeder's Broad Street entrance without any problem; but after I had chewed through my first two hours downtown, literally across the street. Entering Schroeder's feel precisely like entering the neighborhood pizzeria. Considering the prevalence of pizza on the menu, I'm slightly perplexed why the business is called a new deli as opposed to a pizzeria, but I wasn't here to ask questions, I was here to eat. It was as quiet inside the restaurant as it was in the rest of downtown Rome, so I was able to seat myself, and I was presented with a menu and had my drink ordered pretty promptly. I ordered my calzone, and indulged in the local newspaper, because sometimes I like to do that, to see just how different of a place I'm in when I travel. Not long after reading an advice column about a formerly incarcerated woman torn between a man she'd been dating and a dashing new spark based on the fact that tornadoes emerged when they were together (seriously), my calzone arrived. True to the A-OK description, that's how my calzone was. It was not bad, but I can say that I have had better. Contrarily, I have also had way worse, so there's nothing at all wrong about being in the middle of the spectrum. The waffle fries I ordered on the side because I'm a pig were about as good as waffle fries are, but at like $2 for the order, you get way more bang for the buck than if you went to like Chic Fil-A. Admittedly, one of my pet peeves at restaurants are when servers don't ask me if I want anything else, and just present me the check. It was quiet and not busy, so even though I wasn't really in the mood for anything else, the lack of asking is displeasing. Granted, this is representative of the server and not the restaurant, but we're talking about overall experiences here. Anyway, everything about my Schroeder's experience is exactly what a three-star describes. A-OK. The location was convenient and quaint, two hours of free street parking was sufficient for my lunch needs, and the food and it's price was about as 3/5 stars as they come. read more

THEY TOOK TOOOOO LONG ON OUR FOOD. The pizza was crusty and tasted like school lunch room food. The fries were bland and the waitress dropped our ranch in our drink. THE JUKE BOX SUCKS. The table is messed up and needs REPAIRING. The quilts on the walls look dirty and crusty. They had Ninja on the TV... and I'm more of an Alia person. the chicken fingers were bad. The waitress FORGOT ABOUT OUR FOOD. So disappointed. read more

A Roman classic. Right in the heart of Rome's downtown, Schroeder's Deli provides a great place for lunch. If you're from Rome, it is highly unlikely that you can walk into this place without seeing someone you know. I would highly recommend the potato skins, the pepperoni calzone, and the Salvador Deli, although I have never been disappointed with anything I ordered here. The menu also includes sandwiches, pizza, soups, salads, and a variety of appetizers from nachos to soft bread pretzels. They have a true appreciation for alfalfa sprouts on sandwiches that is missed by most delis. The ambiance is good too- much better than Rome's other lunch hot spots like Duffy's. They have it all down here, from the jukebox to the live music in the back courtyard. The place can get pretty packed during lunch hour, but it is well worth the wait. read more

First time here. Passing thru. Great, unique food. We're both in our 50 ' s & ate something we'd never had before. She had the Polish sausage w/ kraut baked in pizza dough (Charlie ' s Dog?). I had the Pita Tosh which rocked like Peter Tosh, warmed roast beef,tomatoes, shrooms, sprouts, etc in pita. All the while listening to very early live Allman Bros Band songs from jukebox which was very fitting as Gregg Allman passed 2 days ago. Service was passable but not exciting. read more

A landmark of Rome that you should visit at least once. The service is great, the atmosphere is very "small town" which is nice and the food is okay. Mediocre portions for cheap which is nice. EVERYTHING (or almost everything) comes with sprouts so be sure to ask them to leave it off if you don't want them. The food is average, but they have a lot of choices and, again, it's cheap. Seems to cater and attract a lot of retirees, many of which are regulars. Overall, try it at least once. Even if it's nothing to write home about, the staff and amount of choices make it worth a shot. read more

Oh my great Schroeder's how I love thee and crave your pretzels, potato skins, spinach calzones, Salvador Deli, frenchbread pizzas, cool draft beers, tasty salads from over a thousand miles away. I lived off of this place on weekends in highschool and brief stops home during college. There's nothing like this original location on Broad Street. read more

Oh hello amazing sandwiches, Rome, GA hipsters, sprouts, potato skins and delicious calzones. Schroeder's is a Roman standard- coming from a Roman. They make great homemade pretzels with delicious honey mustard. I'm craving it now. You can tell from the other reviewers that this place has some good chow. It's definitely no classy shmassy joint, but it's a great place to go for lunch, with friends, or even for concerts held out on the back patio. I personally find the salads a little "thrown together"--but I'm not much of a salad fan. It wasn't anything MIND BLOWING. Special try: the fried mushrooms. they're definitely my favorite thing to order here. Makes me want to go home. read more

Spinach salad was fresh & yummy. Wish they'd try their hand at making their own dressing, but the packaged stuff was adequate. Chic pita sandwich was delish. My Reuben was good, but it was not served on rye, though I didn't bother letting anyone know. Drinks cheerfully refilled. Apparently a local fav- worth a quick ride to avoid the chains! read more
