Romeo's Pizza — Restaurant in Hartville

Romeo's Pizza is a chain takeout and delivery restaurant with over forty locations, mostly in Ohio but with single locations in a few other states. They've been around for nearly twenty years and just keep getting better. Sadly, there is no Romeo's Pizza in Virginia where I live but my parents live in Hartville so I am able to enjoy Romeo's when I am in town visiting. Conveniently located in the busy Edison Park Center they share the huge parking lot with the rest of the businesses located in the shopping center. The lot is well maintained and always free of debris. Romeo's offers much more than just pizza. They have assorted appetizers, subs, salads, chicken wings, strombolis and calzones. If you want something sweet they also have some delicious chocolate chunk cookies.

I've had Romeo's pizzas before while visiting family in the area but this past 4th of July was the first time I actually visited the location in person. I was pretty impressed with the operation There were five delivery vehicles parked in front of the store and when I entered it was obvious the restaurant was very busy. The employees were friendly and professional and appeared to be working well together as a team. My mother had ordered an extra large Buffalo Chicken Pizza and a Deluxe Full Sheet Pizza. The pizzas were ready at the promised time. The young man behind the counter quickly processed my Discover Card and gave me three huge boxes of pizza. As I approached the door an employee held it open for me, a nice touch. I was on my way very quickly and back at my parents' house a few minutes later.

Okay, I'm going to cut to the chase. First up is the Deluxe (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers) Full Sheet Pizza. A full sheet pizza is actually packaged in two boxes, each box contains a rectangular thick crust pizza (similar to Detroit-style) cut into twenty pieces. Topping portions were very generous and the pizza was incredible. A lot of times when I order thick crust pizzas at other restaurants I've gotten crusts that weren't cooked through all the way. That was not the case at Romeo's, the crust was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The toppings, the Wisconsin Cheese blend, slightly sweet original pizza sauce and crust combined for an amazingly delicious pizza. It was a party in my mouth.

Next up is the Ranch Lovers Buffalo Chicken Pizza. I am a more traditional pizza lover and have always thought chicken didn't have any business on a pizza. Honestly, I had never experienced chicken on a pizza but my wife just kept raving about how it was the best pizza she'd ever eaten so I had to give it a try. I was blown away! The traditional crust was the perfect bed for the marinated Buffalo Chicken, Wisconsin Cheese blend, Ranch Bacon Sauce and swirl of Buffalo Sauce, and extra cheese sprinkled with fresh Italian seasoning. I had to agree with my wife that this was an incredibly delicious pizza. I loved the gooey cheesiness and the rich creamy sauce under the perfectly baked cheese on top. It was unlike any pizza I have ever experienced, I think I'm addicted. I will try other Buffalo pizzas in my home area but I fear I will never find an equal to the heavenly pie at Romeo's. One thing is certain, the next time I'm in Ohio I will visit...

Their pizza is the Best! Every time we order(once or more a week) it's the same as the first time when we fell in love with Romeo's pizza! We used to battle with other shops about when it'll be done(it's always way past the time they give you and then it's messed up if it's right at all.Other shops are never consistent on the toppings,sauce or whether it's cooked properly...Romeo's will be part of our family dinners for a long time! Update..we have consistently ordered every Tues for over a year. Their internet was down so we couldn't order the advertised bogo. We plan this with family every Tuesday at the same time.We couldn't order our usual deal because of the internet and they wouldn't honor their advertised deal. So they wanted us to spend twice what we normally do...they said it's an act of God..we went elsewhere Poor service means lost customer. Update::::: we quit getting pizza delivered and have to pick it up so we can make sure we get the extra toppings we pay for. Every Tuesday we do the Bogo and the last 2 months we have been super inconvenienced not just because we pick up now but the extra toppings are never right. We never get a sorry either. We are...

Before I ordered a Philly Steak Sub I asked what it cost and was told $10.39. Thinking this was a lot to pay I asked to see the size of the roll it came on. The roll was large enough that I thought it would be possible to make two meals from the sandwich and decided to order one. I was then asked if I wanted it on a white or whole wheat roll. I said whole wheat and waited while it was being prepared. To my astonishment the sandwich I received was much smaller and not enough to make one satisfying meal let alone two. When I asked where the other half of my sub was I was told this was the normal size of the whole wheat sub. So I paid $10.39 for a sub that was at best two thirds the size of the the roll I was shown. Though tasty with onions green peppers and cheese there was very little steak and the sandwich left me wanting more….much more. I’ll be buying my...
