I've lived in rome my entire life, and frequent Boys. I've troughly enjoyed boys ever since I was a kid. Their food is strong and in line with all other italian pizzarias, with a multitude of offerings. I love their burgers especially, soooo goood! Their fried food is always top notch, I'm just not as huge of a fan of their pizza. It's fine and I like that the crust is thinner, but I don't think it holds up to the leftover test as well (which is how I eat most of my pizzas). It is far better fresh. That being said I also enjoy their sandwiches; (BLT is to die for), and the pasta is always great although I feel like the portions can be a little big, although they do have carry out so it's not that much of a problem The restaurant is run by good people and if you eat in, the wait staff always treat you like one of the family. Even so if you order out, the service is fast and it always arrives cooked to prefection. read more

Was in beautiful Rome, NY for work and needed a quick lunch. Found this place randomly. I tried a plain cheese and a white slice with ricotta and broccoli. The slices are huge but are also thin. Thin in a good way. They could have left it in the oven a few more minutes but it was still good. The plain cheese was nice. Good sauce and had a decent crisp. The white slice was tasty as well. Price was very reasonable. The spot itself was clean and acceptable. The counter woman was very friendly. I would try again. read more

The Boys From Italy - Plain Cheese & White slice w/ broccoli. - Pizza Near Me - Rome, New York

First sampled a half a slice on a graze fest with a friend and knew I had to come back as the slice was crisp and the cheese was gooey. I knew I had to come back. Went back for dinner and while the cheese was gooey the crust wasn't as crisp but next time will ask them to cook a little more. They have take out, dine in options both outdoor and indoor. Unfortunately, the night we went the weather did not cooperate for outdoor seating. The dining room was nothing fancy but wait staff were top notch. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a slice. They do offer a full menu with a number of Italian dishes. Looking forward to trying other dishes read more

So I have lived in CNY for 2.5 years. I have struggled with finding food with flavor and/ or consistency. This is one of the only restaurants that have both. We have been to this restaurant many times and every time it is really delicious. This is my son's favorite restaurant and every time he has a concert or an event he wants to go to this restaurant. This is important because my son is even more picky than I am. Recently I took my daughter and we met one of the owners. I could not thank her enough for always having delicious food, attentive services AND the food being consistent every time we go there! read more

We dine-in during lunch breaks from Capitolfest at the Capitol Theatre on the same block, and the wait staff always seems irritated that we're there. Good luck getting drink refills. They also didn't keep track of which table ordered what food this year, so they gave our pizza to a different table. The pizza is delicious, though, so we keep coming back. Food- great Service- mediocre to terrible read more

Service was a little slow and the pizza was good enough, but not awesome. The wait staff seemed a bit stressed and cranky on our visit.

Too late for me to review... possibly for the first impression. I have stopped here for dine in and take out now several times. I have been a creature of habit and ordered the same thing consistently. Both are worthy of your time and cash. If you're ordering by the slice, it can be challenging to fit your exact tastes. Good thing is ,it's a great reason to try something you may not have otherwise. Sandwich wise, very generous portions and flavorful. Dining area is separated from the takeout area. That's a big win I believe. Friendly staff and service has been on point. Star 5 is in reach in my book for sure. read more

Great food, friendly staff, casual atmosphere. Definitely will be back to try other menu items

My Gf and I came here as it was on the same block as the movie theater we were going to. The restaurant was split with a pick up half and a sit down half which was great! Grabbed a Gnocci dinner and she had a stuffed shells dinner. Both came with a choice of soup or salad I got the chicken soup and she a salad. Server was quick to refill drinks and was quick. Also came with a large amount of fresh hot bread and butter. For 13.99 with a decent amount of gnocchi, soup, and bread I think the value was great. My only gripe and it was minor was the server asked us both if we wanted the food baked with cheese. This ended up being an up charge of $2 each for us and we weren't advised ahead that was the case, we only found out on thr bill and I would have appreciated a heads up. I probably would have still said yes but the way we were asked it came off complimentary or as if it was personal preference in the preparation of the meal. Other than that I'd go again and very much enjoyed the meal :) read more

Wow, a pizza place with no pizza. I ordered two slices and a coke, after 20 minutes, during which multiple people came in after me and were served pizza, they came back and said they were out of pizza. And then gave me a check for $10 for a soda and two slices?????? After disputing it, I had the option of paying $3 for a fountain Pepsi. Wow! Great job guys. Won't be coming back and will tell people to avoid the place. read more

Stopped for lunch while driving through. Pizza is good. Lunch pastas are small portions. And, no - don't get the salad. Not fresh and was sappointed. read more

I was in town for a work trip and was dying for some New York pizza. Some of the locals recommended this place so I stopped by and they were completely out of pizza slices. When I asked where else I should go, the cook said he had enough dough to make me a slice. So not only did I get amazing pizza, but I also got amazing service and my own slice of pizza to take back to my hotel room. And OMG the pizza is so delicious! I will definitely be back! read more

Honestly I would say these folks have some of the best subs in the greater Rome area. The pizza is obviously amazing too but those subs are amazing! read more

Love dining in and out. Great subs. Great pizza. Great pasta. Great staff. It's a Rome experience for sure.

Pretty good pizza place. I rated them as 3 stars for a couple of specific reasons. First - I've had great pizza here, but also had pretty bad pizza (dry and way overdone) here. And second, they're not always the friendliest, at least not at the counter. Having said those 2 things - I really like their pizza and have been there for lunch a bunch of times. They are usually quick and it's not like every time I go in I feel like they're not happy. But it's been a few times which in my opinion is too many. Overall I think they are a great place for a quick lunch and probably not a whole lot more. read more

I gave this place 1 more chance because I am like that and they failed. I ordered Spaghetti in oil and garlic and wings. I had them delivered and the noodles didn't come with bread like their menu says. I called and spoke to a female who said sorry we ran out of bread???? Lol. I'm sorry so that was your response? How about we can give your something else or lower the bill, but no, pay full price for something that you didn't get. Very strange. I will NEVER order from here again and I will make sure I tell everyone not to order from here too. Good luck Boys. read more

If you like dry pizza with hardly any sauce or cheese this is the place. Ask for extra sauce and they charge you $2 extra. What a joke.

I ordered large meatball calzone and the size is super huge. The only negative thing is the meatballs were only little in the huge calzone but the calzone was good. read more

their pizza is absolute trash. their customer service was even worse. I ordered a large cheese and 10 wings, $32 and change, I get there and look a special, large cheese and 20 wings 32.99, the Face Bruta behind the counter shrugged her shoulders when I asked why she didn't offer us the special. i will never order from here again, and I'll tell every single person I know about this experience and do anything else I can do drive business elsewhere so they go out of business eventually, which I'm sure will happen regardless. read more

terrible. no service bruh. would y answer when I asked if they had any gluten free food. I'm so mad that I'm gonna act like a little kid and put this: :( read more

Travelling from Buffalo to New England my son & I stumbled on this great spot. About 7 miles off of I-90 in Rome NY. It reminded me of Italian restaurants of my youth. Red sauce. Spaghetti. I had the chicken parm. My son had gnocchi. Both were outstanding. The fried ravioli appetizer hit the spot. Great food at a fair price. What more could you ask for? The service was friendly & fast. Rome can be a wee bit scary but the Boys From Italy will make you forget all about that. Mangia! read more

I had some of the worst service I have had in a long time at this restaurant. We told the waitress that we only had an hour and we asked what we could get quick. It was recommended that we get sandwiches. After waiting for 40 minutes, and nobody coming back to check on us, my mother asked if our sandwiches were coming. We were told they made a mistake and they had to remake the sandwiches. After another 10 minutes, my mother said, "let's get out of here, I'm not waiting any more for these sandwiches ". A waitress who wasn't even ours came over and said that they were doing their best and we were being rude. I said, " let's just go" and the waitress said "maybe you should just go". What? We waited 40 minutes for rueben sandwiches and we were rude for asking if our food was done? I'm not sure who the owner is but I'm sure he/she would be mortified at how the wait staff treats the customers. If she was the owner, shame on her. Will never step foot in that place again. read more

I ordered a salad for lunch, similar to what I have done many times before. Said it would be 35 minutes. I was surprised - normally they say 15 minutes and I asked, really 35 minutes for a salad? When I arrived the waitress - remembering my rude question over the phone - pointed out at the 37 minute mark that she told me 35 minutes and it would be a few minutes longer. 10 minutes later I received my salad. It was ok - checked it to make sure it was correct before leaving - but not worth the 45 minutes between order and pick up. I am sure me not returning isn't going to shut them down but I will end up going elsewhere now. read more

My mom and I ate lunch there today. The chicken riggies are delicious. Excellent service. Thank you

Just grabbed some slices and a soda, and the pizza was amazing. Thin crust and crunchy, but still soft. Would recommend.

We used to take our kids there and loved the pizza and wings. Well kids got older and we went out for pizza together less and less. We went today and hubby got a slice and I got mozzarella sticks. It's just as delicious as it used to be. Service was friendly and quick. read more

In Rome overnight at a hotel. I asked the desk clerk about some pizza placez. You know while in NY get pizza! She suggested this place. I ordered over the phone and the woman was very nice. Prices are decent. Delivery was quick. The food was good. I got a slice of cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks and fried ravioli. The best part was the ravioli. It was DELICIOUS. mozzarella sticks were good not the best but not the worst (I figure with the delivery it's not as hot) but the pizza was so so. I would recommend other choices than the pizza, I was not impressed. Again with delivery it just wasn't as hot as I'd like. read more

We chanced on this restaurant while visiting in Rome and looking for a place near the historic site for lunch. We went in not knowing what to expect but left totally impressed and fans. The place is pleasant enough, with touches of Italy and a good family feel. The food is the star attraction, though. Husband got chicken riggies, I got eggplant parmigiana with ziti on the side. First, the sauce on the ziti was amazing - home made by the owner, I was told, from an old recipe. I have not had sauce that good since I was a kid. The parmigiana was likewise outstanding. Husbands chicken riggies was outstanding and unique. The portions were large and we took half with us. The service was excellent and pleasant, and in all it was a great experience. I wish we lived nearby, would be there every week. read more

Great Food. Amazing service and the prices are very fair. I highly recommend them. The Pizza is tops in the city and the lunch specials are a great bang for the buck. read more

Stopped by here on a business trip. The food here was alright. Not bad, but nothing to talk about. I got the Ziti with Meatballs and only got 1 meatball. Not sure if that's normal, but no big deal. The cheese pizza was nice and crispy, but nothing I would go out of my way to get. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy with a friendly wait staff. Overall, this is a decent place to stop and grab a bite to eat. If you love Italian food, I'd personally go elsewhere, but you won't be distraught if you stop here. read more

Almost 5 stars! The pizza is the best I've found around, especially if you like large thin slices with some crunch. The only bummer about this place is that they always seem to be super busy and deliveries are alittle late/Luke warm. And the worst part: I ordered hot wings with ranch and I literally received chicken wings tossed in only ranch! Come on guys. read more

The pizza is really damn good. All other products are inconsistently good to excellent. The customer service is incredible there. If you get delivery it's always fast!! read more

Their pizza is very good. Their crust is much better than other pizza places in the area. You can get a 24" monster pizza if you dare. The meatball sub is excellent as is their burger. I recommend Boyz for good carryout. They also have a restaurant side if you prefer to eat in. read more

I flew into Rome Griffiss field airport and asked for a New York style Pizza recommendation, they mentioned La Roma and Boyz, Boyz is better, I ordered slices, they are huge! Nice soft crust, tangy tomato sauce and nicely marinated mushrooms, that's all I had, can't comment on other dishes, but it's great pizza ! read more

Over priced and dirty. I went in ordered around 3 in the afternoon and received a dried up tasteless shingle! The staff is rude, and the kitchen is filthy...the workers look like they haven't had a bath in three days. Paid my pricey bill, I walked out I was so disgusted! read more
