I don't much care for pizza joints in strip shopping centers but I've always liked Roberto's and for one simple reason: the bread used on the subs and calzones. Not sure what they do or how they do it, but it's simply out of this world. What Subway does consistently wrong (boring and nondescript bread), Roberto's excels at. On the night I visited that also had surprisingly good and crabby Maryland Crab Soup. Roberto's is a small, informal venue and easily can get overrun when it gets busy. We had solid wait service on a Saturday night, but its not clear that this necessarily is the norm. My whole party enjoyed everything they ordered, but if its atmosphere you seek, Roberto's is not your place. But for solid casual, Italian fare MUCH better than (say) Olive Garden, you really cannot go wrong here.

Just left this place and will never go back. Pizza was horrible. I liked it in the past but no more! Nothing but cheese and tasteless sauce. The experience was only made worse by what I can only assume to be the owner. An ignorant old Italian lady that was rude for no reason! Good luck if this is how you treat all of your customers. I suppose this has something to do with why your restaurant had only 1 table seated during lunch!

Great subs! Home made bread and dressing make this spot the best Italian hoagie in Westminster.

First trip today to Roberto's pizza. Temporarily working in Westminster for a few weeks and have been trying to find a good pizza/sub place and low and behold this is the place! While I was standing out front looking at the menu, and lady came to go in the door and stated "their food ow wonderful", sold me and in I went. Nothing fancy but I ordered a small tossed salad and 2 slices of pizza and a drink. The pizza slices are huge, had to take 1 home for dinner, and the small salad was in a small container but stuffed full. Finally found a great place and only here for 5 more days. Wish they had a location in Frederick.

2 trips 2 great pizzas. We are Pizza snobs, not picky just want a place that cares. Best Pizza dough and flavors in Westminster, Owings Mills & Reisterstown. The same Italian lady behind counter both times, maybe owner? Service is also very good. Not much for atmosphere in the restaurant but food makes up for it. Look forward to subs and calzones in the future.

After visiting 4 times now, I have to admit and agree this really is one of the best "hole in the wall" restaurants in the area. Pizza and everything else we have tried is 5 stars, but the location, well it's a hole in the wall... :) My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with the impeccable quality of the pizza we got on our first visit. The pizza was so good we felt we had to try it a few more times to be convinced they really are the real deal. Freshness and quality of ingredients far exceed all expectations for such a poor "hole in the wall" decor. Ownership appears to be a French immigrant couple that are beating out ALL the competition in about a 40 mile radius, ALL the Italian pizza restaurants in the area should take note how a little attention to detail, pride and commitment to quality generate committed clientele that will keep coming back, and spread the word to their friends. I wish the owners the best of luck in finding a better location worthy of them and their product, but if your happy and financially satisfied with the balance you achieve at this location, fine with us, we're hooked.

Ordered carry out the other night- lg Sicilian. Awful. No flavor- cheese tasted like chemicals. Toppings were Amazingly chintzy. Very disappointed. What a shame. It was very big though. In terms of value per pound of food product - it was good. Too bad we couldn't eat it.

Best cheese steak subs in Westminster! The bread they use is sooo good! If you're in town and craving a sub, they are definitely worth a try. I usually just order take-out and it's always ready when they say it will be. I have never eaten in here but they do have plenty of seating when I go to pick up my sub. Nothing fancy at all, but as I said, they have the best cheese steak subs in Westminster.

This place is definitely a hole in the wall located in one of the many shopping centers along Route 140. The decor is very outdated and there are just a few tables if you want to sit down and eat and get waiter service. The good thing is that it's clean! The kitchen is too---you can see the whole kitchen from the counter, which I like. I usually come in to pick up carryout so I go straight to the counter in the back where they have a few chairs to sit in while you wait. The subs and pizza are awesome! The make their own bread for the subs and it's soooo good. The calzones are excellent as is the pizza (thin crust and sicilian). The fries and mozzerella sticks are very good too. The prices are reasonable---I think the subs are only $6.99 if I remember correctly and I got a pretty big cheesesteak. I've never tried any of the pasta dishes so I can't comment on those. It's a great place for carry out....too bad they don't deliver. I know it's not the type of place you'd normally notice so if you haven't been, give it a try! It's much better than the Taco Bell and Burger King in that shopping center.

Stick with the traditional thin crust pizza...pretty tasty and definitely the best pizza in and around Westminster. I love a large with bacon and tomato! After dozens of pizzas, quality has been good and very consistent. Always get it to go.

I live for Pizza and Cheese steaks. Roberto's has the most delicious pizza on the east coast. Their cheese steaks have to be ordered with extra cheese, right off the menu they aren't cheesey enough. The Cheesesteak bread is different from your normal Philadelphia Gino's steak sandwich. Thumbs up, and worth the drive if you're in the area.

This has got to be one of my favorite "hole-in-the-wall" type restaurants in Maryland. When I went to college in Westminster, I could always count on a solid meal from Roberto's during a night out. It can get crowded on the weekends, but you won't be dissapointed with the pizza. If you are looking for something other than pizza, I recommend the stuffed subs or various Italian dishes. The prices are good and it is a good little restaurant.

I'm from NJ and Robertos is about the only place where you can get a similar kind of pie. Almost, but not quite, the same texture crust, and tomato sauce that doesn't overwhelm. Only knock on them is that when you order extra toppings they are kind of chintzy. This is real pizza, not cardboard from pizza hut.

Every time I order something from Roberto's I want to try something other than a calzone or stromboli. When it comes time to place the order my mouth starts watering for their lucious and tasty stromboli or calzones. Someday I will try something else but from my sampling over the last 6-8 months this place gets a big thumbs up. When I do go in now I get that face of recognition and a warm smile. The people are almost always friendly. If you have not tried Roberto's I can honestly say you are missing it. I try to make it harder to get 5 stars but this place comes close.

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.
