Delicious pizza, made fresh, and just a good old local pizza shop. The staff are super friendly. Has a thick crust but the cheese is heavenly, great for lunch the next day. read more

Roma's is the best Pizza place in the entire Manayunk / Roxborough area, maybe even bigger! It's the ONLY place you can pay under $10 for a large pizza and actually get a LARGE pizza. Where other places give you like a 14" pizza, this is the size I expect, with huge, cheesy slices with just the right amount of sauce. Maybe it seems so incredible after trying all the other places nearby, and being disappointed. Honestly, I'm surprised the other pizza places on Ridge Ave can stay in business. The only drawback to Roma's is that it's Cash Only, and I tend not to carry cash on hand and there's no ATM at their place. However, there's tons of ATM's all over Ridge Ave. The same two guys are always there whenever me and my girlfriend come in, and they are always super friendly. We usually get a plain pizza (I think they only make the one size, but like I said before, it's the PERFECT size!) and split either a cheesesteak or a hoagie and it's under $15! Oh and did I mention their cheeseteaks? Done perfectly! Just like Tony Luc's in South Philly, a good amount of meat, cheese and onions, all chopped and mixed right, unlike at some other places (If you're gonna serve cheesesteak in Philly, you better do it right! If you can't DON"T DO IT!) Roma's definitely does theirs right though. The interior could use a freshening up, and like I said they could definitley use an ATM or get a Credit Card Machine (Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they charged me an extra 3% for using a card, the food is THAT good). But with those as my only complaints and the food being DELICIOUS, I have to give Roma's 5 stars. They're just like that little neighborhood joint you know you grew up with around the corner that served your favorite pizza! I really can't recommend these guys enough, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and try Roma's out! read more

This is the kind of neighborhood pizza place I've been looking for since moving to Roxborough. Chewy and moderately thin crust tasted great with both a white pizza and regular one. The mini spinach and cheese stromboli-thing was incredible with a ton of cheese oozing out when you cut into it. It's not a gourmet-ish pizza restaurant like Couch Tomato (which is also good), but I mean that as a compliment to Roma's, with a really good traditional pizza. They don't deliver, but when when they say your pizza will be ready in 20 minutes for take-out, it is READY (I'm talking to you Dalessandro's). read more

I've lived in Roxborough my whole life, except for the times that I did not. There are a lot of good pizza places, and some not so good. When I want the best pizza in the world, of all time and forever, I go to Roma's. You can still buy it by the slice. A large pie (really large) is still under $10. And it is handmade right in front of you. The sauce is great, the crust is PERFECT, and the cheese is never ending. I used to walk here on Saturdays as a kid, play Van Halen on the juke box, and pump quarters into Donkey Kong while waiting for my slice. Now I take my kids here, because it is my sacred responsibility as a parent to make sure they understand what truly great pizza is, and to do that, I only go to Roma's. If you want some free advice: order a mushroom with extracheese. You'll never have better pizza. read more

They definitely make my favorite slice. My family has been getting pizzas from Roma's for years and have never been disappointed. Tonight I decided to change things up and order a white pizza with spinach, tomatoes, and ricotta. I think I've found my new favorite pie. I've always thought a pizza place is only as good as their regular pie, which Roma's has perfected, but if you are up for something different try my new fave out. They always have my food ready in 20 minutes, I have never had to wait. Take note they are CASH ONLY. This is the best pizza I have ever had. If you like a doughy crust and simple ingredients, you will not be disappointed. read more

See all

Far and away, the best pizza place in Roxborough. I am originally from NY, so I know what NY pizza is when I taste it. So, when I am in the mood for some authentic pizza slices, I go there and get it. And has the right decor, like most pizzeras, a no-frills, basic look. Service is super friendly. Prices are good. Go there when you need pizza. Only bummer is it is closed on Sunday, but hey, they're human like us, got to take some time off. read more

Absolutely phenomenal pizza. I am from New York and I can honestly say it is on par with what you get in New York. Definitely will be going back again for the $9.95 Large pie. read more

I think this is the best pizza in the City. My fiance and I have gone to locations all of the city in search of good pizza and we found it here. read more

I have not eaten pizza for over two years- partially for diet and mostly because it doesn't agree with my stomach. But tonight, I needed a treat. And I hadn't eaten all day. So I threw caution to the wind and got what I remembered to be great pizza. I can't tell you how fantastic this pizza is! And I'm from NY so if I say this is great pizza, you can bank on that. If you haven't been here, go! But when are they going to do delivery?? Seriously. read more

Best pizza in Manayunk/Roxborough, hands down! Cash only but those savings get passed onto you. Their chicken parm sandwich was spot-on until the one I most recently ordered. Still, 1 mediocre sandwich out of dozens of delicious sandwiches over the past couple years is/was hopefully just an anomaly. read more

The pizza here is pretty good. We are originally from N. Jersey and are pizza snobs. However, for the Philly area, the pizza here is pretty good. We usually call ahead and pick up. The pizza is usually ready when we get there and still hot. At $11 for a regular pie they're priced competitively. read more

Best pizza in Roxborough. Hands down. Pizza taste the same as it did 40 years ago. Same owners as well. Highly recommend.

Any time I'm in the area, I stop in for a pizza steak with mushrooms. These are the best in the area as far as I'm concerned. I only do take out here though. The place isn't very comfortable or welcoming. Sitting there waiting for my food is like trying to rest on a concrete slab. I really can't speak about any of their other food but definately try the steaks. read more

This place is a gem. Pizza is wonderful. Chicken parm sandwiches are my favorite. Very fresh ingredients. Cash only. Eat here!

Best pizza in the Rox/Manayunk area. I go with a large plain pizza well done every Friday night and it's always great!

Just tried Roma's tonight for the first time, because my boyfriend and I are on the hunt for the closest pizza to what we love getting in NYC. The cheese was so delicious and the sauce was perfect! We will definitely be repeat customers from now on. read more

Best pizza in Philly - actually all of PA, doesn't quite beat my nj/ny pizza but its close enough. A large pie is about $10 and its usually not too crowded. Cash only and recommend take out read more

This pizza is absolutely delicious. I am so glad I live right around the corner. The crust, the sauce, the cheese....all mouth watering. It makes me happy. The pizzas are big too and the staff is nice. But they don' t deliver :( read more

Easily the best pizza in Roxborough/Manayunk. The shop is no frills, with limited seating but the pizza is out of this world. Aside from being the best, it is one of the cheaper pies around. Around 10 dollars for a large. read more

The best pizza in the 128. Why don't you deliver??? I want delivery, can't come out in the cold. Parking sucks at my house. Great sweet sauce and great dough, nothing else is needed. read more

The pizza was well priced (under $10) but the quality was also cheap. If you like your pizza "well done", with a crispy crust and a pizza slice that doesn't "flop", then this is not your place. The pizza didn't seem to be cooked long enough, and the slice would droop down the instant you picked it up. Also, pizza comes in one (very large) size only, and the business only takes cash. We also ordered fries, which were soft/mushy and had no salt or seasoning on it. I will probably look elsewhere for my next pizza purchase. read more

Very consistent pizza. Roma's seems to be a family run business. Whenever I go in they are always friendly. I call ahead first because the end of the week is a very busy time for them. I've never had burnt or overdone pizza from them. My only compliant is that they use A LOT of flour in handling and shaping the pizza dough. The result is the residual left on your hands after handling your slice of pizza. I swear I could make a loaf of bread with the flour left on the pizza. But if you can get past that the pizza is really very good. read more

This pizza is delicious! Hand tossed and a true little ma and pa shop! Ive had pizza up and down main street, ridge ave, anywhere near me in Roxborough/Manayunk and this is one of the best. Fresh, fast, super low prices! Wings great too! read more

This is a true pizzaria. Everytime we get a pie to crust, cheese, sauce ratio is just right, they don't skimp on toppings and it's not overpriced. read more

Great pizza made by hardworking, quality-focused and customer-focused staff and ownership. I love coming here. It's no wonder they've been in business as long as they have! read more

The best pizza on the planet, bar none. Negative reviews only by people who don't know good food.

the best pizza in Philly. It is so good you don't even need toppings. I love toppings on my pizza but this is always so good I usually just get plain extra cheese. the only negative side is they don't deliver and it is cash only. Other than that it is as close to New York style as you get in Philly. enjoy!!!!!! read more

We've moved out of the area and Roma's is the standard for all pizza. We've tried to find good pizza out here but nothing can compare to Roma's. They've set the bar high and although we knew it was good, we didn't know how crappy the rest of the options elsewhere were. We now only get pizza when I ride through Roxborough to pick it up. read more

As a transplanted New Yorker who had the misfortune of living in northwest Pennsylvania for four months it is indeed a happy thing to be in Philadelphia and be able to enjoy real pizza. I would give Roma's more than three stars if they served garlic knots and calzones. But even without those two items on the menu Roma's is definitely worth a visit. read more

I actually walked out after looking at the pizza they had on the counter because I like a thick tasty crust and what I saw was thin but I decided to actually taste the pizza and came later in the day and the pizza I had was the best I had along Ridge ave the crust was thick and tasty so I will definitely be back I just have no idea what happened between 11am and 5pm that made the pizza better read more

I'm a huge pizza snob and after reading and hearing rave reviews about Roma's. I finally got a pie, half cheese/half pepperoni, from here today and I was not at all disappointed. The crusty was nice and chewy, the sauce great and cheese great. It definitely fits the bill of one of the best pizza places in Philly. The service was very friendly and the place was bustling for a Saturday at dinnertime. I look forward to coming back here and trying out a slice of Sicilian. So if you're a pizza snob too or just want great, quality pizza, I highly recommend Roma's. read more

This is a decent NY-style Italian pizza. I ordered two slices (at 11:45 AM so they had not been sitting around.) On a par with say, Tony Roni's I guess, but TR is five minutes closer and has bigger slices. I wouldn't go out of my way, but of you are in the neighborhood, it is a reasonable offering. read more

Previous review was likely an off day. I've visited them a few more times and the crust still continues to amaze me. Recommend trying the white pizza linas special. read more

Best pizza I've had since I've come to Philly. I'm not usually the biggest fan of thin crust, but these guys really pull it off with a good balance of cheese, crust and sauce and the cost of a plain cheese pie (why get NY style any other way?) is extremely affordable. There's just one big problem: They don't deliver. This is a big sticking point for me, because when I want a pie it's usually when I've decided on a night in. When you don't want to go out to do anything, driving over to pick up the pizza is less than optimal. read more

Good, quick and cheap. Keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY. Only meh I would have is that there is a lot of flour on the bottom of our pizzas but they are good hot and fast. read more

Very solid long standing neighborhood pizza shop. Roma is totally nondescript and easy to over look among the dozens of other pizza shops in the area. What separates it from many of the others is the cheap price, heavy topping handed, well cooked, simply solid pizza that they put out on regular basis. While I would never say it's a gourmet pizza or the best pizza I've ever had, there is something to be said for having that good neighborhood pizza spot, similar to that good take-out Chinese spot. It fits that necessary spot when you are having that craving. As a side note, the tuna hoagie and chicken cheesesteak are not bad. read more

Some of the best pizza around, my little guy loves the pepperoni pocket. This is a must stop place for us when heading to a game. Cash only so be prepared. read more

Damn good pizza! They do deliver and it's always good. Try the broccoli bites. Sometimes they could hold back on the grease a bit but still good. read more

Hands down the best pizza in Roxborough. They are still successful after only accepting cash and no delivery.. they must be doing something right! Whenever I want pizza, I always order it from here. The inconvience of having to pick it up myself is incomparable to the delicious consistency that is Roma's. :) read more

Best pizza in roxborough and in my opinion philadelphia. Only con is they dont deliver :(
