Does this place ever pick up their phone? I've tried to place an order for delivery multiple times (yes, during business hours), and it just rings and rings. If you're in the Tenleytown area, skip this place. read more

A+ for the food. F- for service. The owner actually called us back today after ordering delivery and told us that we should have TIPPED more! We are 2.2 miles from this place, they charged a delivery fee which we paid and we tipped 15% of total delivery. I can't believe this women had the gall to call us after delivery to say that. We used to order from here all the time during lunch. Never again. I'm sure they won't miss us though, obviously they are too busy to pick up their phone according to other users. read more

This is a husband and wife run eatery with inexpensive but honest food cooked to order. The cheese steak sub is very tasty as is the steak calzone. Run by very friendly people who appreciate their customers. They also have gyros, burgers, pizzas and spaghetti/meatballs, ice cream, etc., etc. Open until 3 or 4 AM every night! Order food downstairs and take it up to the dining room for eat-in, or if there's room eat it at the downstairs counter. There is no wait staff upstairs, just tables and seating. They are very busy and have a continuous stream of delivery orders, and it's only the two of them doing all the order-taking, cooking and checkout. They have very reasonable prices, probably why they're so busy. The quality of the food - healthful, honest cooking - is much higher than the prices they charge. I mean, $3 for a huge slice of pizza which is 1/4 of the whole pie! I know people have complained that they don't pick up the phone or it takes a while to get the food sometimes, but realize it's not because they're goofing off - they just get extremely busy. But they also stay open until 2-3 AM weeknights and 3-4 AM weekends, and do this 7 days a week! Amazing work-ethic. Bottom line is the food is good, the people are really nice, and the prices are low. Everything is cooked to order so it can take 15-20 minutes to cook the food, plus delivery time if you're getting it delivered. Better to pick it up yourself, which is what I've been doing, or eat it there. Highly recommended. read more

Sooooo bad. Worst food we've ever had. Ordered the chicken Alfredo... Barely any chicken, and barely any sauce. It was essentially pasta with butter, and by the time it did get to us it was cold and hard. So bad, I wish I could get my money back actually. Avoid like the plague. read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - Our cold, hard, no sauce or chicken, chicken Alfredo. - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had let so much time go between breakfast and lunch and was debating on heading back toward Alexandria from Bethesda before the rush hour, but was starving. I had been wanting to try East coast Pizza (yes yes I know, if it's not NY pizza it's not pizza). I found parking and was originally going to go to Pete's New Haven Pizza, but then after looking at the menu, just didn't feel like foofy pizza that day. Spotted this place across the street. Walked over and got this feeling of a place that Jerry Seinfeld and friend would come to. It was about 3:30pm, there were two cops there. A lady (one of the owners I think) was behind the glass and asked if what I wanted. I didn't feel like one of the pre-made pizzas so told her I wanted to order a small. She went and got the small size wire and said this is small. Thought probably this small young person couldn't it a small one by herself. I ordered one of their newer pizzas. The downstairs is real small, probably for those just wanted take and go, or pick up. Upstairs has a lot of seating and nice view of the neighborhood. Looks like they remodeled with a big flat screen. After about 10 mins my pizza was ready and the lady brought it up to me. It was piping hot. The ingredients were fresh, mushrooms jalepenos, sausage. I wasn't a fan of the crust, and the cheese could have been a little more melted. But over all not a bad experience. And for those of you curious. I left one slice, which I took with me. read more

I accidentally stumbled into Rome Pizza one evening when Pete's line was too long. It was a greasy spoon of a place, which never bothers me much. The pizza was better than expected. It's nothing trendy or special, but it doesn't have to be to be good. The wings were a disappointment, but I tend to be picky on that. What surprised me is that they are open VERY LATE night on the weekends. I've lived in the area for a while and have lamented the lack of late night food options. This will definitely be my go-to place after a long night out. Booeymonger up the street just wasn't cutting it. Also, they have ample seating in their upstairs room. It is actually quite nice. read more

Surprisingly good pizza, hot subs, and cheesesteaks (and I grew up Philly-area). I don't know why I feel it's surprising, maybe its just my general disdain for "new york style" pizza in DC (as opposed to Italy-style, where Two Amy's et al do a very fine job), but this place consistently serves up whole pizza pies and slices that are quite yummy. I think they only serve hot subs, but I've had several and they were all quite tasty too. The two co-owners are there -all- the time, from when they open around 11am until they close around 4am, and I haven't seen any other employees, so the service is very consistent and they are both extremely friendly. They serve ice cream, have lots of tables upstairs and a few people-watching seats downstairs, as well as a few umbrella'd outdoor tables along Wisconsin. Highly, highly recommended to eat in or take out. Pete's Apizza just opened up across the street and we sort of assumed Rome would lose the war ignominiously, but they have more than held their own. read more

I have lived in dc for years and I am just now discovering this place!! The menu has everything you want if you're looking for a kind of 'mom and pop' style pizza and sub spot. The food I had was great, exactly what I wanted, delicious and filling. The folks inside were very pleasant (I got my food to go), and the prices were cheap (especially for the friendship heights area). The exterior is very un-assuming, and inside is as expected of a take out type place. I will absolutely be ordering from this place again...and again! read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - BBQ Chicken Calzone (take out) yummy - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I work about a block from this place so it's usually my go to lunch spot if I forget to bring lunch. They have great lunch specials where you can get pizza and a drink or a sub, chips and a drink for $6. I usually stick with the meatball sub or the chicken italiano sub--YUM! Their pizza is pretty decent--I just don't trust how long it's been sitting out in the window. The owners are a very nice couple. Since they're pretty much the staff, it might take them awhile to get your order ready so it's best to order before going. They have a large seating area upstairs with TV and a nice view of the street. I definitely prefer this place over Pete's across the street. If you're looking for a fast, tasty and cheap lunch that will hold you over until dinner--this is the place for you! read more

Absolutely our FAVORITE pizza in the area! And personal service with a smile and greeting from the owners, Ben and Parvin, who do all the work themselves. Delivery is available through GrubHub or Uber Eats, or you can do pick-up. If you're a late-nighter, they are there for you until 3 AM. I also love their Buffalo Chicken Wrap - great spice! read more

This place has been around for a couple years. It was a really novel addition at first, being the only food service establishment open until 3 or 4 in the morning. Their level of service dropped as soon as a competitor opened next door. To start off, they have no parking. If you're thinking of driving here between 11am and 6pm, forget it. They filled their old parking lot with grass, so unless you park during non restricted hours or walk in...it's going to waste your time getting here. If you do walk in, be prepared for some really mediocre service. There's always a woman working here. She's kind of nice, smiles; but I honestly can't understand a goddamn thing she says. This is probably why I've had several orders that weren't what I asked for. I've also witnessed other customers returning with food they didn't order. This leads me to believe they can't handle simple orders and the staff is incompetent. If you want to save yourself some grief and call ahead, be warned. The phone is rarely ever answered. And when it is, you'll still have problems placing your order. I enjoy supporting local businesses, but this one needs to go. I've been patient enough to give this place numerous chances, coming here a dozen times over two years. There's no redeeming convenience. If you really want to get some food in the middle of the night, go somewhere that's open 24 hours. read more

I love this place. ...clean, good food, good prices, hard working owners.....and the upstairs can seat 40 so it's a great location for a group get together! read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - Upstairs seating.... - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I went to Rome Pizza the first week they opened and I've been going there for lunch and past midnight dinners in the past 5+ years. They are super nice and the food is always good (esp. turkey pesto sandwich and chicken Caesar wrap are AMAZING) and their calzones are HUGE! read more

Today, while at work, I decided to order a delivered lunch, and to try some place other than Domino's or Armand's. Searching the Internet for another nearby restaurant that would deliver a steak and cheese sub, I happened upon Rome Pizza and Subs. My expectations for any meal of this type would be fairly forgiving, and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered a cheese-steak sub and an order of fries, and was happy with what was delivered. The sub was about what one might expect from a small pizza and sub joint, not overly stuffed, but well cooked and delivered promptly. The fries were particularly good. I note that the sandwich was not "overly -stuffed", and I mean with steak. Having said that and not necessarily expecting more, I could suggest that they be a little less skimpy with the condiments. I wanted tomato on the sub, and, while it WAS there, the two slices allowed were very thin and small. I'll make one other comment, and it might've made the difference between a three-star and a four-star rating. This place does not offer a crushed red pepper (hot pepper) relish for their subs. All they offered, when asked, were sliced jalapenos. I learned once, on a trip to California, that this type of "hot peppers" topping must really be an east coast-thing. It wasn't even offered in the Subway sandwich shop, where I ate in L.A. Anyway... I like hot peppers, the crushed, red pepper relish, that I've become used to. For me, that condiment can make or break a sub. So, I'm suggesting that, if Rome Pizza and Sub were to offer that topping, I'd probably give them another star. read more

We ordered the cheesesteak and wings. The steak and cheese was good but it seemed slightly skimped on the meat. But it was flavorful and the bread was really good. Also ordered the wings and they were really good as well. Super flavorful even with any sauce. read more

Not life changing food but it's solid; a great balance between quantity and quality with slight edge to quantity. Would come to again but not a must come to again spot. read more

Rome Pizza & Sub - Classic cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My friend and I were looking for a late night spot to grab some food and so glad we stopped at Rome Pizza and Sub. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and it was delicious. My friend ordered a cheese pizza which was amazing. The cheesesteak was fresh and so were all the ingredients. The pizzas was made from scratch and delicious. Truly a mom a pop establishment that I think everyone should support:) read more

I stumbled upon Rome Pizza & Sub on one of those days that you just know you're going to have to eat the emotions away. The lady behind the counter was incredibly kind and patient with me as I scanned the entire appetizers list only to get a side of jalapeño poppers. More on this new obsession: they used a different type of cheese instead of cream cheese or any other variations I've encountered. They were prepared right in front of my salivating stare and listen Linda listen... I have been back twice this week and I am not even embarrassed. The order came with a side of ranch, and I washed it down with a ginger ale so I could feel like a healthy adult. Judge all you want but these jalapeño poppers are my new thing. Sorry not sorry. read more

They canceled my order and charge 2 dollars for parmashan cheese. I need to fill up this sectIon and not leave a short review but they can serioUsly go out of business. I'm about to type more random stuff so I can ppost this read more

My 13 year old son's FAVORITE pizza place - and we like it too. We live a block away and Pete's Apizza shoppe is across the street from Rome. Nine times out of ten we choose the Italian pizza from Rome. The husband and wife team who own and run it are so kind and friendly. It's a neighborhood treasure. Yummy pizza and subs at a good price. Not a $5 pizza, but you get what you pay for! Rarely - and I do mean rarely - I've seen the shoppe closed. I think every blue moon or so they take a day off - no biggie - not end of the world - because they otherwise are ALWAYS there morning, noon and night until the wee hours of the morning - every day. Who works that hard these days. So give it a try. read more

If you like pizza that feels like cardboard and has dry ass dough go for it. Pizza was over cooked and hard. The toppings were shriveled from how overdone it was. read more

We just ordered delivery of a white pizza with meatball and are really disappointed with the quality for the high price. The crust is flavorless and hard, there is not enough sauce, the meatballs are singed, and the overall flavor is bland. With the delivery charge and tax, this order came to an astounding $30 for a pizza that tasted like subpar garlic bread. read more

I like this place cuz they open til 1 or 2AM in the morning and deliver I always order from here when I am studying late.... read more

Worrst food I have ever had. I waited forever for my steak and cheese and onion rings. First of all the steak wasn't ribeye...more like steakums...second of all the onion rings were not REAL onion rings....will never order from here again. read more

This is the worst pizza I've ever had. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Some friends and I bought it because it was the only place delivering late night and it was unedible. We made a frozen pizza afterwards and we literally burnt it and dropped it face down on the oven door, and it was STILL better than Rome Pizza & Sub. That's how bad it was. read more

Worst customer service and very bad restaurant. Will never order from here. The lady that works at night who says she is the manager is pathetic. Can't even be bothered to check ingredients to something she made me order as an alternative to something else she didn't have. And was extremely rude and didn't seem to care. Well neither do I. Lost my business today and in the future and I hope many readers business as well. First review I've ever posted online. That's how worth it to me it is to see that this place due to this experience and lady get no business. Said her name was Maria but definitely BS. She seemed too scared to give me her name and she didn't sound like a Maria! read more

I don't understand how this place has a decent rating. If I could give zero stars, I would! Worst food I have ever had! we ordered a Rome burger with fries, a supreme pizza, and a BBQ chicken pizza for delivery. The burger bun had MOLD on it! The burger itself was very dry. I had to stop eating the pizza because the crust was so tough it was hurting my mouth to chew. Overall there wasn't any flavor to anything. Couldn't taste pepperoni even though it was clearly on the pizza. The only decent things were the french fries and the delivery driver was extremely kind. Never eating here again. read more

I ordered delivery of a large pizza recently and was really disappointed with what arrived. They use really low quality cheese on the pizzas with quite a bit of oil sitting on top. it just wasn't pleasant to eat. This was unfortunately one of the worst pizzas I've tried... Won't be ordering from here again. read more

After a year of ordering the same exact thing from Rome's, the afore mentioned deal with wings, XL pizza and a 2 liter of soda, we attempted to order tonight. After I placed my order, a rude woman called me and said that because I ordered a two topping (Which I have done literally 20+ times, I just pay the extra for the extra topping), she couldn't honor the coupon. We won't be ordering from them again. The only thing that makes it worth it is using the coupon. read more

Been coming here for years. Their pizza and wings are good, really all their food is good but I highly recommend trying their wraps, man there're amazing! Also, they are always very nice and friendly. read more

Food Was gross. The italian sub was full of mystery meats and smelled funny. They put on literally 3 pieces of lettuce thrown on the top and wrapped it upside down, so when I unwrapped it, most of it slid out of the soggy sub bun. The bacon cheeseburger my wife had was plain and boring, not real meat but a patty like you can buy at the store, and the bacon was quite fatty and overcooked. The ceasar salad was not even a ceasar, it was like a garden salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and mozzarella cheese with a ceasar dressing on the side. The fries were limp and cold. the only saving grace is that they ordered it within about 45 mins and after reading most reviews, I got lucky it came that quick. Steer clear, there are much better places out there. read more

The manager needs to learn customer service 101. I had a delivery order from them from an online service. The order was screwed up. Not only did they refuse to help me figure out the problem, they told me that I was being rude and refused to help me, or honor the coupon I was trying to use. I had to have the online ordering service call the restaurant on my behalf since she refused to deal with me and she wouldnt even work with them! Such rude service, there are many other places to get a crappy sandwich from. This place will NEVER get my business again. read more

Very good subs. I haven't tried the pizzas yet but will do next time. I tried the chicken cheese steak and it was very yummy. Good sauce, bread and a good balance of lettuce, red onions, and chicken and cheese and mushrooms. read more

I should've listened to other Yelper's reviews about customer service, er...the lack of. Ordered via Seamless.com, about 20 minutes after I ordered I received a phone call from a woman telling me that Seamless got the prices wrong and that I have to call Seamless. After a few minutes of trying to ask if my order was cancelled (received yes and no answers), if I had to order again (both yes and no answers again), and the woman yelling at me to just re-order with the restaurant, she told me to pay the driver $1.10 in cash and it would be settled. (What?!?!) Called Seamless and the rep very kindly cancelled my order and said she couldn't make heads or tails of what the woman was trying to do either. I've gotten decent food from here before, but they've lost me over $1.10. read more

I've eaten pizza at all the fancy pizza places in DC and finally realized that what I was missing was REAL pizza -- the old fashioned kind I grew up with in NJ. I had seen the Rome Pizza & Subs while eating at Pete's Pizza across the street and had wondered how Rome had survived, since Pete's was always crowded and Rome's was not. So, I got carry out pizza at Rome's tonight -- just cheese pizza with extra cheese. The aroma filled my car all the way home and I knew I had made the right choice. Although NOT as greasy and messy as NJ pizza (take that as a positive or negative), the taste was the same. And the nice woman who works there put the pizza back in the oven to warm up since I got caught in traffic and was a little late in picking it up. She did that without asking and with a smile. This is NOT the greatest pizza in the world but it is completely enjoyable and the 2 of us ate the entire large pizza because we just didn't feel like stopping. So, yes, I heartily recommend it. read more

I was really hoping this place would be better. The pizza was actually okay, nice thin and greasy, NY style. Disappointments: mozzarella sticks, veg sub, chicken parm, garlic bread. The subs were cold in the center, inc. the chicken. The mozz sticks werent very stringy and didn't taste...real. Take a bite into one and you could be left with only the battered exterior, with a white role of "cheese" in your mouth. My veg sub wasn't really cooked enough (the vegetables almost tasted raw), I don't even think the cheese was melted. In all fairness the veg wrap looked really good, although it was dripping with oil. read more

The pizza was doughy and the ingredients were not fresh tasting. The Mozzarella tasted cheap, like string cheese. The pizza looked great and was big. The price, for the size was good but it was no better than most frozen pizzas. read more
