Romeo is just east of Manne's. Wood fired pizza oven.
At Starbucks this a.m., just as a coincidence and in the last couple of days, one of my friends had pizza at Mille Voglie and loved it and the other tried the pizza at Romeo's and did not love it. He said the crust was so-so and they were stingey with their toppings. We will do our own testing tonight.

Saw my cardiologist today and all was fine..........so I went out to TACO CITY an had tacos pastor and quesdilla pastor for lunch. Excellent.

A big crowd..........well there was 12 of us + Snappysammy. He was number 13. Another table of 8 or so and smaller tables of 1 to 4 people.. Pretty busy place. Very good and on par with Mille Voglie but more varied combos for the pizzas. Only problem is that if it is busy - Romeo's pizza oven can only handle 3 pizzas at a time as it is small. So get there early.You won't be disappointed.

I think Romeo is going to be tough to beat. It's a cute little restaurant with a great staff, and they really put a lot of thought into their pizza presentation and flavor. They CAN only make three pizzas at a time in their wood-burning oven, but they still came out pretty quickly. The problem is that we had such a large crowd that of course a few people got their pizzas quite a bit after the first ones came out.

Our group:



Al and his pizza:



Rick and his pizza:



Oysters:



Lisa and Andrew, with Lisa's arugula pizza:



A few more kinds of pizza:











Me and my margherita pizza:



My last piece (I ate it ):



It was a busy little restaurant that night:
