Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

This place has amazing food. The atmosphere is incredible with the piano being a welcome touch. I have ordered several things here and have yet to find something that is not delicious. Everything arrives piping hot and the food is so good that it makes some of the Italian chains seem mediocre. The bar is awesome and Angela is part of the reason we continue to go back. Definitely worth the money to eat there. Give it a shot...you won't be disappointed.

There's that running joke about those tourists in NYC who stop and ask for directions to Olive Garden, and the local replies, "How about I give you directions to an actual Italian resistant?" Roma's is that restaurant. Friendly staff, great management, AMAZING GENUINE ITALIAN FOOD, and great atmosphere. For a post-church lunch crowd, we were immediately seated in a spacious booth. (There were only three of us, but I think we could have sat eight comfortably.) Angela, our waitress, was a delight. She was very attentive to our needs, despite the fact that she was probably waiting several other tables. The ROLLS. Oh sweet lord. You'll forget any other breadstick/garlic roll whatever once you bite into one of these fluffy guys. I glanced around and saw most tables had a pizza, so I ordered the chicken alfredo. The SMALL is a twelve-inch. Probably the best pizza I've had in a long time. To my despair, I couldn't finish it in one sitting, but thank goodness I could take it home in a to-go pizza box (amazingly convenient, good thinking you guys). And I may or may not be eating some of it as I type this... My dad is a Ron Swanson type. Very red-blooded, carnivorous American male. He got the spaghetti with Italian sausage and loved it. My mom picked off his plate every chance she could! However, her stromboli was vey delicious, as well. We were all happy campers. The manager came by twice. First, he checked on us to make sure everything was fine. Then, he came later with the check, apologized for the delay, and when he overheard me mention tiramisu, he brought out a complimentary one as an apology for the "delay." Honestly, we've had *much* longer waits at other local places, and we understood that with a Sunday crowd, there will be a wait anywhere you go. Overall a pleasant experience. I have probably found my go-to Italian place, and I have a feeling I'll be making friends and coworkers come here time to time. You guys rock!

Everything is good here and the staff is friendly. The inside is a bright red with a curved hallway. It's like walking into a red cave. My son likes the fun look of it. Try the pink sauce! You won't be sorry!

The staff are great and so is the food. They don't specifically have vegan foods on the menu but are very accommodating and created a dish i enjoyed.
(5)Cory M.
We have been to this place many times for pizza, pasta, soup, and salad and everything is high quality. We used to go to Smitty's but now we go to Roma's for pizza.

The food was excellent and the portions were very generous.

Wow, the prior 2 reviews are 5 stars and are obvious shills. I mean c'mon one reviewer's name is "Review S". How long until Yelp yanks those off. Anyway, my coworker and I came in to see how the new place is faring and to see if any wait staff was still around from Albasha. The décor change was minor and the staff seemed new, oh well. Food: My coworker ordered veal and said that it was very tender and a texture that he has not experienced yet. In his words" This is either the greatest veal ever made, or its not veal at all or it must be really off". Since he is still here, I assume it worked out ok. I ordered a small pizza and a meatball sub. The pizza was huge even for a small and was pretty good. The meatball sub on the other hand screamed "Sam's Club". Now I don't have any proof and since I am not Gordon Ramsey with access to the kitchen and fridge, I can only assume that the meatballs came from a frozen bag. Why? Well these were smallest balls I have ever seen (queue joke "..sometimes the bull wins"). Usually handmade balls in an Itallian restaurant, even a small shack are large(think diameter closer to baseball than golf ball). When you bite or cut into the ball you can see the texture. Well here they looked machine made and perfectly ground. On top of that, I have NEVER seen any place cut up meatballs before putting them in a hoagie. Hell even Subway just drops them in. I suspect they do that so it would be easier to nuke them in the microwave. Service: Ordered a beer (some local Shreveport brew), keg was out so they brought out about 3/4 of a glass and said it was on the house. A short time later they found a new keg. Waiter took the glass away and topped it off. Ordered a second glass later on. Now came the guessing game: Will they charge for one or two? Well they charged for two, even though the waiter said first one is comp.(Seinfeld plot?) Coworker ordered a side salad which never came. Waiter apologized and offered a pretty funny excuse. I guess he had to make the salad himself and just forgot. Waiters make the salads here? Overall: There are several other locations outside of town, so they must know what they are doing I guess. Given my meatball experience and my coworker's texture issue with veal, I assume they either bring in frozen food and warm it up. Precook and warm it up,etc. Outside of the great tasting fresh bread, not sure what else on the menu is actually prepared fresh. For me, this comical visit was one and done.

Great food and service. Enjoyed talking to the owner Carl and hearing about the history of the restaurant. Looking forward to trying out the other locations.

The food is great! Went here on a whim and it turns out it was excellent! The customer service was good. They even had a lively pianist when we were there. It seems pretty popular so i would make a reservation on the weekends.

Decent just about sums up the experience here. The restaurant itself is very attractive with red being the primary color used throughout. The staff we encountered were all nice and welcoming. Once seated they brought us some breadsticks that, while having a good taste, were just about hard enough to chip a tooth on. Still not sure if it was the type of bread or if it was just stale. Also the water they brought us had a bad taste so it must have been tap. We live nearby and our water tastes bad too so we have to filter it. They're gonna have to start filtering theirs too or go bottled. I got the veal parmigiano which was only mediocre. It's much better at Monjunis. She got the eggplant parmigiano with the dish still boiling and a warning not to touch the plate. So....microwaved. Sorry but we don't go out to eat to get a microwave dinner. This'll be a one-time visit.

Great food great lunch specials! The pink sauce is the best! The portions are enough to split. Service is always great. It's nice to have a good Italian place is southern hills

One of the best hidden gems in Shreveport. We loved that it is a bit out of the way and wasn't too busy. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and my husband got seafood Alfredo. It was delicious! The piano music was very nice.

Really liked this place. When I asked what the closest to my favorite vegetarian dish was on the menu, the server told me to write down the ingredients and they could make it for me since everything is hand made in the kitchen. That's impressive. Hubby had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs are definitely not handmade in the restaurant, but still a good meatball. 'Small' pizza is huge, so kids can share. My pasta trio was very good. I loved the cannelloni and manicotti especially. Definitely will be back.

Roma has a great floor plan. Half casual and half bar. Family friendly and lots of seating. Family owned and operated. Come see for yourself.
(5)Suzanne A.
This place is great! So happy it opened up here. Me and my husband were hoping a good restaurant would open up in the area and we couldn't be more thrilled! We ordered the lobster ravioli to split and pizza split into Half BBQ and half spinach. We added side salads. Everything was fantastic! Can't wait to go back.
(5)Michael R.
Love this place. My son and I love the pizza. I have also had the chicken parmesan and it is great. My wife has had a few other dishes and she loves them all. The deserts are also very good. The prices are very reasonable. Give it a shot you'll probably like it.

Had such high hopes for this place - co-workers had raved and I'd read the reviews. It was at best, "ok". We showed up for dinner right around 8:00 this past Sunday evening and found little kids squealing/screaming, running down the center hallway, and jumping on the waiting benches with parents nowhere in site. The server was slow to arrive to take our drink order even though she was standing by the hostess stand doing nothing - just watching the ill behaved children run amuck - when we walked in and were seated. When she did arrive, I asked if the children belonged to a customer and she said they did. I expressed my displeasure of their behavior to which she just kind of smiled and gave a look that said, "oh well, what do you expect me to do about it." For an appetizer we had the calamari - it was fine, nothing bad or better than average about it. I had the baked ziti. When it arrived to the table it was literally boiling hot - there were bubbles! Given that we'd already had our fill of the "atmosphere", we were anxious to eat and go but it took quite some time for the food to cool down enough to eat. Again, it was just average. My husband ordered a sampler - cannelloni, lasagna, and manicotti. All 3 were served in the same small dish and covered with sauce and cheese - you couldn't tell what was what. We had to ask the server. My husband said the manicotti and cannelloni basically tasted like the same thing and the lasagna was not good at all. My mother-in-law had the chicken marsala. While she enjoyed the sauce and pasta, the chicken was dry and rubbery - she didn't eat it. Gluttons for punishment that we are (at least the children had returned to their parents), we went ahead and ordered a dessert. The cannoli shell was hard/overcooked and the filling had that funny taste things get when they've been refrigerated too long. Part of me would be willing to give them another shot because everyone deserves a second chance, but it probably won't happen.

Had a great time, the bartender Patt was great ! Seemed like the younger servers had some issues,but I promise you sit at the bar and you will have a great time !! Nobody wants to ever give the server any credit for how your food is but if you start off with shitty service it's hard to get that taste out of your mouth !! Trust me the bar is worth a second try and if he can't get that taste out of your mouth ,then sorry but your stuck with it !
