Thank-you. They do deliver. The lady answering the phone does not understand Spanish that well, and we don't speak Italian so that part was a struggle. However the correct pizza arrived (on the second delivery attempt, but that is normal). .....And the pizza was great, all expectations met.

Its low season again already. We called Romeo last night. They did answer the phone, but are again closed on Wednesdays. As a result we took the home delivery route with Amore.

Does she speak English?

I've wanted to order a pizza for delivery many times, but I'm too shy to talk to anyone over the phone here, as my Spanish is so lousy.

I ordered pizza last time I was in town... my spanish is also a little weak.
However, the person taking the order was very patient and through both of our uncontrollable laughter.. the order came and it was correct.

I am totally ordering again this trip.. so funny... so much fun..

If you are thinking about Romeo for pizza, bring a great deal of patience.After an hour and a half we got salad and appy. I left 35 minutes after that and others in our group left 20 minutes after that without getting meal served. These people should not be in the bis. Good product if you have all night to eat. Waitress has a bad attitude."Good food takes time" Other places as good with better service.

Maybe it was just an off night. We ate there the other night and service/and personnel were wonderful. We only had a salad and pizza but both were delivered quickly and were delicious. This was our second time eating at Romeo and the waitress was the same both times and she was very friendly and helpful. I hope you give it another try. There weren't that many people eating in the restaurant but they did have quite a few take out orders so that may slow down the kitchen.

We have been there at least 5 times now....Perla the waitress has always been v pleasant and helpful. If it was busy - that pizza oven can only take 3 at 1 time which can obviously be a problem. Yes good food takes time and everything that we have had there has been great.

We ate at Romeo last week and had an excellent pizza and lasagna. The food took some time to prepare, but was worth the wait. We were told that they are closed on Wednesdays when we ate there on Tuesday.

A group of us had a Pizza Party several days ago. We picked up 5 different pizzas from La Famiglia. They were ALL great. I told them to put a bit more sauce on them (someone said in an earlier post that La Famiglia pizzas can be a bit dry). They were perfect and everyone raved about them. NONE of us had eaten La Famiglia pizza before. So for those complaining of Dry Pizza at La Famiglia, tell them you want more sauce on the pizza. The Pizzas were good sized and priced well IMO. And were pretty well loaded with different toppings on each. We were happy and would order there again.

We ate at Romeo tonight. The service was friendly but slow! We tried 2 different kinds of pizza and one pasta dish. The pasta had shrimp,bacon and kale in a cream sauce. The pasta was very good and we thought it was better than the pizza. The pizza was good but we didn't think it was great by any means.

No? Why not? What pizza in town do you like better?
