Romeo Pizzeria — Restaurant in New York

Really good food and reminds me of my uncle's pizzeria where I worked as a teenager and the taste had a fresh Italian piece of southern Italia to its the margherita pizza was made with fresh ingredients and the marinara was very acidic but also had a good flavor of garlic in it not too much onions because he hated when I put too much sugar and onions in our marinara sauce but loved his garlic just like me and I would overload the marinara sauce with garlic and pepper flakes in order to make it a little bit more savory and spicy than sweeter and acidic but because we didn't want people getting sick and having to go to a doctor after a few weeks and months we didn't want to use too much butter to cut down the acid and started pureeing the carrots and using the natural sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes in the marinara sauce but the pizza sauce was very good and I loved the fresh basil leads and mozzarella on the pizza slices was a great choice to make at romeos only if they had a brick oven it would taste like it came straight from Italy to the storefront like across the street at new park pizza shop and they don't know how to make it like romeo's does if only they were combined to be one entity but new park only does pizza while romeos is full service pizza spot...

I remember when Romeo owned this pizzeria and made good food. When he and his son died (tragic story) and these young guys bought it, it turned into total mediocrity ... Bland dough that is often very undercooked. Very light on the mozzarella, which tastes more like food vendor bought junk that's overly salted to create some flavor as opposed to authentic Italian made mozzarella with that depth of flavor, and a thick sauce more in line with a Bolognese or marinara made from a mirapoux or sofrito mixture than an actual pizza sauce simmered in large pots for 6, 7, 8 hours straight to create that bitter-free, rich pizza sauce taste. Is there worse pizza? By far, so I won't say don't come here. Hell right across the street is even worse. But if you're looking for what this Ozone Park/Howard Beach area is really known for (some of the best Pizza in all of the 5 boroughs, being a true old school Italian neighborhood) than gona few blocks down in either direction and look for New Park...

Food is good but it’s not LaVilla kitchen food or Spamoni Gardens or new park pizza. Reason why people loved it was because it WAS super affordable price for decent/good food. They are slowly increasing prices into that high price market and the food doesn’t follow suit. (Regular slices are up to $3.50 and beef Pattie’s are up to $3.75, when menu has them both for $2.50) The biggest flaw, they just started to charge $2 for delivery. When I asked them “who gets the $2”? they stated “I don’t know”- I mean really? I don’t know? If I’m getting charged $2 on a $20 order and than am expected to tip another $3, shouldn’t I know if the driver gets it? Just bad business practice to charge delivery fee and NOT give it to driver, as I suspect they do and just say, I don’t know. IF I do go there again, will have to be pickup, can’t be dropping an extra 25% on the order price for delivery. Hopefully they change this and I will go back to...
