Now every time that we order pizza here in Delaware, we can't help but think "man I miss Roman's pizzeria". We made a trip for our 3-year anniversary to Ligonier over the 4th of July weekend and of course we had to return. Roman's Pizzeria is absolutely amazing. The pizza is cooked perfectly; light flip, perfect undercarriage, and the crust is the perfect thickness so it's crunchy but not burnt when cooked. Not only was our experience great the second time around, we spoke with the owners who actually gave us a free cupcake as a congrats on our anniversary. Roman's has ruined all pizzerias moving forward in the best way possible!

We had a just fine carry-out experience from this business. The staff was friendly and…read morestraightforward over the phone when we called in our carry-out order. I'll be the first to admit that pizza from this part of Pennsylvania doesn't tend to be my favorite. It tends to be on the sweeter side with dense dough. We ordered the pierogi pizza to mix things up along with the white pizza and a pepperoni pizza. We also ordered two large salads for our group. I wish the salads would've been topped with more vegetables. It was more of an iceberg lettuce pile with a sprinkling of beets and carrots. Not exactly a nutritious kind of salad. The star of the show for me was the pierogi pizza topped with sauerkraut, potatoes and cheese. It was a fun flavor combination and something different to try. If you're in the area, I'd recommend the spot for a smooth carry-out pizza experience. Just don't expect an artisinal-style pizza. Our total for the three pizzas and salads was around $75.

We often get take out but tonight we dined in to also visit the Ice Festival in town. Although not in the center business area around the Diamond, it's a short walk uptown. Great way to work off some of those calories ! Atmosphere is as expected of an old Italian establishment. Kinda grody with oil stained red checkered tablecloths and an old well worn wooden floor. "Artwork " adorns the walls circa 1950's Venice. But honestly I don't care! The pizza is THAT GOOD! We always order the weekend special which is a large pizza, family size salad (which is also Really Good with cheese, pepperoni and pepperoncini peppers and nice mixed greens) and a 2 liter soda of your choice. Extra for toppings but still a lot of food for a family of 4. If you're in Ligonier and craving pizza, this is the place to go. Don't confuse it with Joio's in Latrobe. Or the one in Carbon. THIS ONE is the best!

I grew up with a short drive for Jioio's so I've always had a bit of a soft spot for it. After…read morestopping here to grab a pizza for takeout, it's just as I remembered it. Square cut with a crispy and delicate pie-like crust and a sweet sauce. The one thing I do recommend is that you should add a salty or spicy topping to it (pepperoni, sausage, peppers, etc). I'm normally a plain pizza guy, but you need something to cut the sweetness. A large pie and a can of soda was right around $20.

Being from out of town, we were looking for a special spot for lunch with the same charm and draw of Ligonier overall. During our selection process I had written off some other reviews talking about how the fact that this is a local scene detracted from the experience. When we arrived, three of the six tables in the place were occupied by a group of locals talking about whatever. No problem, great, glad there is a sense of community, but the closeness of the seating and the setup of the place meant that me and my spouse didn't really have our own conversation. We weren't invited into the conversation dominating the entire place but did have to listen to it, including the cringe comments on a couple different social issues of the day. I wouldn't normally mention the conversations of patrons in a review but by the same token this business felt the need to display some fake Trump $1,000,000 note on the cash register. The inside decor of the place feels tired, lots of old articles on the walls and a random collection of trains, Elvis, and classic car stuff. All faded/fading. Our server appeared to have just rolled out of bed, threw on a miscellaneous t-shirt, some crocs, and showed up to work. The menu consists mostly of stuff you probably already make at home. There are more options/distinctive items however at the GetGo gas station down the street. For what it was, the food we had was good and the pricing is at least commensurate with the food. These factors saved the two stars in the rating. Wishing we would have walked out shortly after sitting down. Ligonier has so much more to offer. Hoping this review might help someone else not make the same mistake.

I would say in that time we have ordered just about everything on the menu. While we have moved half an hour away, we still make the trip for the food. That stops today. It took the waitress 25 mins to bring a salad and hot cheese balls. Firstly we thought they changed and were now a finger food establishment as we didn't get silverware. Then we noticed the cheese balls not only being room temp but also did not arrive w sauce. The waitress never came back for us to ask for sauce. The croutons on the salad were stale beyond belief. Inedible. Then the entrees arrived. What happened??? What did you do to the alfredo? There was no flavor and very little of it. We know what this sauce can taste like and that wasn't it. The broccoli was hard and seemed as if they just added it at the end, raw. The waitress never came back after dropping off the food. We never got refills. To say I am sad and disappointed would be the understatement of the year. I cannot stress enough how this failed all previous expectations. An hour and 15 mins for hot cheese balls, alfredo & a Stromboli is a bit much. Had this been the quality we know it can be, it wouldn't have mattered. No more road trips. Plenty of free parking on and off street. There is a ramp but I will warn you, it's long and a decently high grade. Inside there are booths and regular tables. Enough room to walk through the rooms or use a wheelchair, walker, scooter or cane. Noise level is low. You feel a part of the restaurant but not too close to those around you. Decor is simple and honestly what you might expect from an Italian restaurant. Kitchen is visible but you don't hear or see much from it.
