Romeo's Pizza — Restaurant in Elizabeth City

I've been a fan of Romeo's PIzza since I discovered them in Ohio several years ago. My wife insists their Ranch Lovers Buffalo Chicken Pizza is the best pizza she's ever eaten. Every time we would go back home to visit family in northeastern Ohio she would insist we get one of these pizzas to bring with us when we returned home to Virginia. I was excited to discover several months ago that Romeo's had opened a location in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. It's not very close to our home in Chesapeake, Virginia but we finally made the 50 minute drive a couple weeks ago. We were not disappointed. We liked it so much that ten days later we made the trip again.

As I mentioned, my wife especially enjoys the Ranch Lovers Buffalo Chicken Pizza. My favorite is Romeo's Deluxe Pizza with pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, red onion and mushroom toppings. The sauce is unique and a little sweeter than most pizza sauces, it's really delicious. I appreciate they don't just use the same old boring mozzarella cheese but rather their Wisconsin cheese blend. I think the sauce and cheese set Romeo's apart from a lot of the competition.

The store is clean and the staff is super friendly and professional. Service is stellar. Shawn (I apologize if I'm spelling his name wrong) is the franchise owner and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in his business. Be sure to create an online account to receive emails for discounts and promotions. I don't know how long it will last but they've been sending emails every Tuesday for buy one pizza and get another one free on Tuesdays. We have taken advantage of this, it's a great value on some really delicious pizza.

We are so happy to now have a Romeo's Pizza in the area. For us, it's worth the 50 minute drive (each way) because the pizza is superior to that of most other pizza chains I've experienced. Give them a try, you will be...

Why ROMEO'S PIZZA Is my local go to spot for Pizza.

Crust: Crispy and light: A well-leavened crust that's crispy and not too doughy is a key indicator of quality. Sauce: Fresh and flavorful: The sauce should taste fresh and not overly heavy or sweet. Cheese: Melty and flavorful: The cheese should be melted properly and contribute a pleasant flavor.

Exchanges pleasantries as you leave. they care about their customers and the community and always have daily specials to save you money. ROMEO'S is by far the PREMIER place to do...

Even though I gave it 3 stars I really did like the pizza. The sauce was delicious and I loved the taste of the toppings. The only issue I had was that there was not enough cheese on the pizza and that the pizza was not cut in a correct matter. Ordering through the app was easy and even though it said there was a 30 minute wait time my pizza was ready when I walk into the store after 20 minutes. I have high hopes for this place and can't wait to come back.

Update 12/20/2023 Had my 2nd trip to Romeo's to try their deep dish pizza. Loved the fact that it was a traditional Chicago Style deep dish with the sauce on top and the flavor was good. The only thing is that most of the pizza was undercooked and doughy. Considering all the stuff that goes on the pizza that is to be expected. Does anyone know if there is a way on the app to tell them to cook it for a few...
