I've had the pizza, meatball sub, and mozzarella sticks, all excellent. Great prices, delicious food, and cool snacks. We'll keep coming back. Excellent value! read more

The pizza was delicious though DoorDash could use improvement in getting it delivered Hot.

A mom and pop establishment that is well worth a visit or 10. During those late night cravings no need to worry - they've got you covered! Great place to get a great meal. Location: easly located amongst what I now have deemed the pizza triangle. Staff: a husband and wife duo who are equally friendly with new customers and their regulars. I decided to dine in and was witness to several regulars coming in. The husband and wife genuinely seemed to care about them as individuals and their local community. It's not a requirement by any means but a nice change to see n the DMV's fast-paced self-serving environment. Food: it was an explosion of flavors. The establishment uses beef pepperoni rather than traditional pork, which, in my opinion, made a world of difference. Another honorable mention is that the sauce is made from scratch. I couldn't quite put my finger on why the food was so tasty. Atmosphere: relaxed and peaceful. I was delighted to hear that they offered both dine in and take out. Delivery is offered, but be aware that local services will increase the overall cost. Parking: Street parking can be found on the main street and side streets. a problem in most places in the area, but I found a place to park fairly easily. Prices: great specials offered throughout the week, but their regular prices are extremely competitive when considering the quality and taste of the food. I am looking forward to visiting this establishment again and trying more on the menu. There are regular favorites, and for what you get, why not experiment? Highly recommend that you stop by despite all of the options available they offer a little something special that is often difficult to find! read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - XL Pizza 1/2 Peperoni 1/2 Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I ordered a steak and cheese lunch special with some recommended sauce and it was amazing! They also have great customer service! If you want to try new snacks they have a variety of snacks aswell. read more

New management is doing a fine job. Pizza was very good. Excellent crust. Outside seating was comfortable and inside seems pleasant and fresh. It will be a regular pizza provider. read more

I called in for a to-go order on a rainy Wednesday night, and got a small meat lovers pizza with lemon cake. I don't think the pizza was worth it as it reminded me of dry frozen pizza that I could've baked myself for a fraction of the cost. The lemon cake was delicious however! The owners were very sweet when I went to pick up my food and even gave me a small discount-- an even $20 instead of $21 and some change haha. I would come back to try their cheesesteaks, but would avoid the pizza in all honesty. read more

Just had a HUGELY delicious slice of pizza at Rome Pizza & Sub In Tenley Town. Thank you!!

Read about Rome Pizza & Sub on Nextdoor.com when a few posters said it was good and one said it was as good as Pete's pizza across the street at a more reasonable price. As a picky pizza fanatic, I am always on the look-out for good pizza for carry out. Rome's fit the bill. I got their vegetable pizza. The crust was baked to perfection and the veggies were cooked through, not semi-raw as I have gotten at other places. Will definitely be returning. read more

VERY KIND owners. Humble, even. And the quality of pizza FAR outweighs their prices! They use beef pepperoni & it gives them a subtly unique taste that I wouldn't have even considered otherwise. Don't let the unassuming restaurant facade or even their positioning directly across from what appears to be a pretty popular pizza spot fool you. Glad I made the curious stop & if my pizza-crazy Daughter approves, I don't need any more validation. Neither do you. BELIEVE me. read more

Very good fresh cooked food open late and excellent service by the couple that owns this restaurant that's been in business for 14 years.

Delicious pizza!!! Really good deal. Was $7.99 for a 10" inch pizza with a topping included. Both working there are so nice. Highly recommend! read more

Super nice mom and pop, great food, big selection, indoor and outdoor seating, and terrific prices. Been eating there for years! Alway great! read more

I love Rome Pizza. The owner's might be the kindest people I've ever met. And, beyond old school pizza they make delish sandwiches and superb salads. It take a little time, if you don't order ahead, for them to make a fresh salad yet it's worth the wait! read more

The pizza was ok, but the penne Alfredo was so delicious!!! Best I've ever had!!! The owners were husband and wife and they were extremely friendly!!!! I went with my mother and father!!!!! Definitely worth the money, time, and drive!!! The inside could probably use some updating (it's a late night grab-'n' go joint, after all. They are open until 3 A.M.), but I still enjoyed the food!! Great service with a smile!! Next stop: Pete's Pizza, which is literally across the street!!! Fresh ingredients are used here on a daily basis!!! That's why the food is the best I've ever had!!!! read more

I've ate pizza at this restaurant for years now. I always get the same pizza, the Spinach and Artichoke Pizza, in which I love! The food is always great and the price is as well! Whenever I want to order pizza, this restaurant is my go-to place. They are very friendly and accommodating. read more

This is not what I want from a calzone. If you want a lot of bread and a little bit of calzone guts give it a try. Not for me.

My husband and I stopped by this place Sunday evening and very much enjoyed our food! We both ordered subs, I had the spinach artichoke sub. It was delicious! We watched as they made our food with care and both enjoyed our food tremendously! read more

Both owners greeted me kindly upon entering. The place felt clean and inviting. A Hallmark movie played on a nearby TV screen. I ordered and my wife sat outside. The woman gave us complimentary water and offered to unlock the bathroom for us. She smiled at our dog and asked if she liked pizza. We assured her that she did. The fresh salad and pizza they made looked perfect and tasted delicious. I would definitely go back again. read more

Family owned business, been in the neighborhood forever. Really is a late night gem. The food is good, you just have to find what you like. The service is really good. The couple and owners behind the counter are so amazing and kind. Definitely worth the stop read more

Such nice owners, I used to eat here a lot walking distance from my job and the sandwiches are good

It's a good place, decent alternative to Pete's. Small operation so inconsistencies/service drops are possible. Decent price but remember where you are read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It's the coolest pizza place I've ever seen. Especially in DC it's really hard to find a pizza place which you feel like you are in Italy. By the way it's late night that's why it's the best for students. You can get slice pizza too. read more

wonderful great people After finding this pizzeria, I will not eat pizza anywhere else

I'm giving this place 5 stars based on three things I experienced today! Affordable hot and fresh made pizza, clean dining area upstairs and good customer service. I have to admit that I originally went to Pete's across the street and after a bit of a wait with two antsy children, I needed a plan B. I open my yelp app and look for reviews for this place which is right across the street. The most recent reviews weren't the best but I was in need of a quick solution and I found one. I trudged the wee ones across the street and went inside. Saw a man standing there eating a slice and asked how the pizza was and he said good but I should order a whole fresh pie! I looked at the prices and thought, yippee! I can get an XX 18" large cheese pie for 12.99?! Enough to bring some to my two dancers that I knew would be starving after a 4 hour class! I ordered the pizza and bought two cans of sprite ($1.00/ea) and my total was just over 16 bucks, with tax!! Now this place doesn't have a gourmet name attached to it like Pete's but the pizza was good! Comparing the two would be silly of me so I went into this place with the mindset that it is a neighborhood pizza joint. Cheap and no frills. The pizza was not too saucy and had a good amount of cheese! My two year old ate a slice and a half and her brothers crust, whereas when we go to Pete's she will only eat a half slice. (See pics). We went upstairs and the gentleman behind the counter told me there was a tv up there and we could turn it on and if I wanted to I could get the remote and change the channel. I did! Found a cartoon for the kids and it kept them in their seats and entertained while they ate! This was a much better alternative to having them run around the studio! Less stress for me. The dining area was very clean and a lady brought our pizza upstairs with plates and utensils and was kind enough to bring the remote back downstairs for me. So, for me this was a gem because I'm in this area multiple times, every week trying to kill time with 2 small children while waiting for my other children to finish their activities. I will now create a pizza budget for this place and may even try other things on the menu. Will update accordingly but as of this visit, I'm happy and didn't find one thing to complain about. read more

Delicious food! Friendly service. Clean facility. Walked in late after a long day moving to a new neighborhood. Needed a quick dinner to close out the day, but none of the other "open" popular chain restaurants were actually taking customers after 9pm on a Saturday. Rome popped up on the map not too far away, right next to a bus stop. And I didn't have to wait long for my togo order! Thanks for staying open late when it's cold outside! read more

Ordered pick-up en of February and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered two different items including the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and pizza; they were absolutely delicious. The owners were lovely people. read more

This is the real deal. Small wife and husband team throwing fresh dough with tangy sauce and a panoply of high quality toppings. Varied menu and good cheer abounds, alas we only had time for a pie during the snow storm. It was well seasoned and prepared with precision and care. Bravo Rome pizza we will be back. There is a reason the ratings are lower at the other shops and they are busier? Beats me, skip the big guys and get your fix at Rome Pizza, says the guy from Philly stuck in Bethesda during the storm. read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - 14 inch pepperoni and white pie - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

they are open all the time and the lunch special is a great deal + pizza is freshly made so i dont have anything bad to say. but i got a single slice for $3 which was slightly bigger than a normal slice, but maybe 50-60% size of a jumbo slice. the flavor of the cheese and sauce of pizza did give school lunch vibes (which is fine). the crust was really really hard though, but not even thick. idk what the crust was, but it was not thin crust, by the slice crust, cornmeal crust, or pillowy takeout chain crust. hurt my mouth to chew read more

Been meaning to write a review about this place. Husband and wife owners. Psychotic. Yelled at me for filling a tiny salad dressing container halfway with parmesan cheese on a takeout order. Yelled at me! Like, sorry I wanted to put some cheese on my pizza when I get home. Is that against your religion or something? They said Parmesan cheese is only for dine in customers. (What??) I don't understand how business owners can have adversarial relationships with their clients and yet still survive. If I had it my way, no one would spend money here. They'd protest outside the door everyday demanding politeness to clients. These two are always angry. Fine, but don't take it out on your customers. Or in my case, 'former' customer. read more

I ordered through Postmates and after having them cancel my delivery over 45 PASSED the eta the owner called me...a very sweet lady explained the situation and that she didn't want to leave me hungry in the middle of the night. Her husband, THE OWNER, then hand delivered my pizza at 3AM. I AM BESIDE MYSELF. Ladies and gentlemen, this is service. I'll add as a side note that the food was absolutely incredible and that they just got a customer life. Thank you so much for the incredible, family like service and amazing food! It did NOT go unnoticed. read more

Pizza was barely edible. Tough crust, odd smoky flavor, dry. Low on cheese. Never again.

One of a handful places open late. Food was great and owners are very sweet! Would definitely go back when I'm in town.

I've been coming here for years and the food is always great!!! A lot of great food for cheap is always great especially right now during COVID. #supportlocalbusinesses read more

Don't let the small, unassuming exterior fool you: Rome [not Roma] Pizza serves great pizza! Unlike the chain across the street, this is a friendly, family-run business that's been good to the neighborhood for years. Haven't tried the subs, etc, but had a sausage/mushroom/peppers pizza last week and it was better than Pete's! read more

please please please patronize this place. it's the nicest couple in the world and they do everything. i don't know when they sleep. their service and attention to customers is unparalleled. the pizza's decent, tastes like manny and olga's, but the love they put into their attention to customers is remarkable. places like this don't exist anymore. i really hope they can survive the pandemic. I'd go here any day over pete's across the street. read more

On the corner Wisconsin and Fessenden. There is always street parking which is great for a resturaunt in DC. Spot on ingredients and the owners are wonderful. The chicken Philly cheese steak is a must!!!!!! read more

Amazing. Stumbled in today absolutely starving, expecting a greasy slice that had been sitting in a hot cabinet for years. Instead I got a custom made, hot, delicious, extra cheesy slice with a great crust. Briefly visited heaven. Thank you, I'll be back. read more

My office frequently orders from Rome. One of us is very picky and always requests no onions, which they accommodate every time. They are also very timely and I've never had to wait for my food when I come to pick it up. The menu is diverse and I tend to stick to the items I know are good. Comments on item's I've ordered: - Chicken Caesar Wrap. Lot's of good chicken. All around good item. - Philly Cheesesteak. A nice, juicy sub. - Rome Cheeseburger. This burger is pretty decent and is one of the larger lunch items on the menu that isn't a calzone. That said, it's not as juicy as a five guys or z burger and is probably a little overpriced. I only get it if I'm especially in the mood. The downside: they don't take american express. read more

The charm of Rome Pizza and Sub is that it's an unpretentious, neighborhood gem and that the owners just couldn't be nicer people. The pizza beats Pete's any day of the week, and the lovely woman working there always comments on how nice it is to watch our kids grow up. In an era of xenophobia and hatred, it's nice to see an immigrant-family owned establishment thrive and become part of the community. read more
