Master Critic Review
Roma Pizza & Restaurant
7.6
A broad-menu Midtown pizzeria that’s strongest when you treat it as a classic pie-and-slice shop with a few crowd-pleaser styles. The win here is convenience and range—pick one signature slice style, add one square option, and avoid over-ordering from the huge menu.
Must-Try Dishes:
Margherita pie, Grandma pie, Spicy chicken vodka slice

What makes it special: A late-hours Midtown pizza shop with lots of styles to choose from.
Who should go: Teams and travelers needing pizza fast.
When to visit: Late evening for easy in-and-out.
What to order: Margherita, grandma, one vodka-style slice.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet; limited street parking and metered spots nearby. Garment District garages are available but pricey, especially after 6pm.
Dress code: Casual and practical—jeans, work attire, or travel clothes all fit. No need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—fine for group talk, not ideal for quiet conversations.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes depending on foot traffic; lines move quickly.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple cheese-forward slices and vegetable toppings available.
Vegan options: Limited—sauce-based slices may work, but no dedicated vegan cheese or menu section.
Gluten-free options: Very limited—no dedicated gluten-free pizza program; cross-contamination likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a classic first date—it’s fast, functional, and noisy. Better for something casual or post-event food rather than lingering conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—this is primarily a walk-in, counter-service experience. Seating is first come, first served and turnover is quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who like pizza slices; no special kids’ menu, but the casual setup works well for families passing through.
Best For
Better for: Late-night availability, speed, and variety—strong when you need dependable pizza fast with multiple slice styles to choose from.
Skip if: You’re looking for destination-level pizza quality, a quiet sit-down meal, or a focused, curated menu.
