Roma Pizza — Restaurant in Virginia

I placed an order online and waited a while to get my food delivered. Imagine waiting forever only to get a call from the restaurant for them to tell me the driver has been waiting downstairs my building for 20 minutes, which I thought was weird because I definitely remember verifying my phone number with them when I placed the order. When I went downstairs to go collect my order the driver informed me he had been waiting and calling me for a while so I said I’m sorry but what number do you have for me. The number he showed me was nowhere near the number I gave the restaurant, even the area code was incorrect. Because I felt bad for the delivery driver I apologized to him. I then proceeded upstairs to finally go enjoy my food. I ordered their special for the day which was Pad Thai and an appetizer of calamari. To my surprise when I opened up the bag and started to eat, the noodles were hard as a rock and my calamari were also under cooked. The food also tasted horrible and nothing like Pad Thai. It was not an enjoyable meal at all to the point where I couldn’t even get pass four bites. I should’ve known better than to order Thai food from a pizza place. I also had a friend of mine who had ordered a pizza from them as well and he claimed the pizza was horrible and all the cheese was falling off the pizza. As he said in his own words, “It was the worst pizza I have ever had and I would never order from them again even if I was starving”. To be honest I feel the same way after the disaster of a meal they just delivered to me. If I had the option to give 1/2 of a star, I would because that’s what this experience was like. The food quality definitely did not match the prices and the...

Best in Dahlgren hands down! I’m not even going to get into the whole “Well if it where in a different place it wouldn’t work blah blah blah” because it’s not in another hypothetical place - it’s right here in Dahlgren and it’s a town staple therefore you could further deduce- this type of straw man argument is just that, a logical fallacy when you‘re trying to find a place to eat locally. I’ve cooked in many restaurants inner city over the years before I moved up here and I can honestly say Roma would compete on MANY levels. They have the BEST pizza hands down, hand made, the dough is hand made, the sauce is hand made, the burgers are also the best around with individually hand made patties! Hand made lasagna, hand made bacon wrapped jalapeños the list goes on and on. You could find flaws in any place if you look hard enough but if you actually patron Roma you already know it's very hard to beat, the staff is awesome! The cooks and bartenders are probably some of the most down to earth people you will ever know and the owners are probably some of the most friendly people you will ever meet, I know for a fact the owners are the type of people that would give you the shirt off their backs and that goes a hell of a long way in my book. Case in point, Cold Beer, Good Food, Good People, Good Prices and if you need more...

I am rating this as a sit down restaurant, one of three such places in Dahlgren, the others being the Mexican Restaurant and IHOP.

Roma's food is okay. Black cherry burger, hush puppies, and pizza are all decent, but occasionally the food comes out tasting like rotten garbage. The staff is friendly enough but don't seem interested in their jobs. They take a long time to bring drinks, food takes a long time to come out, and this is even when the place is almost empty. While this may be one of the best in Dahlgren, if this place opened in Fredericksburg it would have been out of business quick given any competition.

As for delivery, I am lazy and live within walking distance of Roma's. I've ordered twice in the last year and it took almost 2 hours for delivery, the food was lukewarm, and the second time my girlfriend and I were sick for a full day (vomiting, nausea, etc) after eating half of one of the worst French dip sandwiches ...
