Romano’s Pizza Steaks & Subs

I live real close to Romano’s and my family and I have been ordering pizza from here since I can remember so we’ve been satisfied with them for many years.
We usually order a large pie, and I’ve never been disappointed with their cheese, pepperoni, or veggie pies. Cheesy and delicious.
I never really tried any of their other food here until just recently, where I friend and I actually ordered on Valentine’s Day! We got the Penne Vodka pasta with chicken, garlic knots, a chicken Caesar wrap with onion rings, and a side salad with ranch. It was so much better than I expected! The delivery was pretty fast for a holiday and I was really satisfied. The portions were very large and we had a bunch of leftovers.
I usually don’t like penne vodka but the sauce on this one was terrific — very creamy and tasty. Would definitely go back for more. I loved my chicken caesar wrap and every bite was tasty, not like some wraps that have a small portion of chicken or dressing — this one was loaded. The also enjoyed the onion rings it came with and they were crunchy even the next day.
Loved that the regular side salad came with red peppers and olives in addition to just lettuce, tomatoes, and onions.
My only complaint would probably be that the garlic knots were a little more dry than I was used to, but they still had a good flavor. The bread that came with the pasta was also hard as a rock! Definitely soften those up before you stick it in the bag, guys!
I will definitely let my family know that Romano’s has great food in addition to their pizzas!

Convenient to my work. I meet my friend here most Fridays. I have tried a few varieties of pizza and they are all good. The service is good and the staff is friendly.

This is a solid, reliable place. Several varieties of pizza which are all very good. Meatball sandwich is also good stuff. Get a couple cannolis to go!

The food is mediocre at best. Customer service is poor. If you have a question or want something special, they have a attitude like you’re stupid and they’re doing you a big favor. This was my go to place because I live in the area, now I go out of my way to other places in town because the service is better.

Ordered over the phone 2 12″ chicken parm subs and a slice of plain pizza. Not a difficult order right. Ok 20 min passed so I go to get it.
The cashier must have been frazzled because she was out of it. I only received one 12″ sub so I was not going to wait another 20 min for another. Not only that, she didn’t heat up the slice of pizza after having to remind her that I ordered a slice.
Bullshit pizza place.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and needed to order in for the night. This was the only place still open so I took my chance. Ordered delivery. Order was late. Arrived 45 minutes after the promised time so I was eating past midnight at this point. When delivery boy showed up he was missing half my order. He had to go back and get it. He manually added a 50% tip… PLUS delivery charge… WTF???
Points to remember:
They overcharged me and don’t use the prices listed on the menu.
Food is not impressive.
The food was overly greasy and cold by the time I finished the second half of my order.
The delivery and overall service is bad.
I will not be ordering from them ever again, even in times of desperation.

Good pizza place off of River Road. The staff is consistent and on-​top of the orders. The non-​pizza items are fair.

An old standby from my Piscataway days-​in fact, it’s one of my favorite pizza places if I’m just going to stop in for a couple-​three slices rather than looking for a whole pie. It’s odd, when you order a whole pie here it always seems like the crust is a little too thick, but the pies they have made for slices have a thinner crust. Either way, the pizza is pretty good, but a little expensive.

Their Sicilian slices are excellent-​both crispy and a little chewy, delicious sauce and the cheese is well anchored and doesn’t pull off with each bite. In my opinion, probably the best Sicilian in the area down there. I do also like their regular pizza, and the sausage they use is friggin’ delicious.
What I really like about Romano’s is that they just try to be a pizza joint… not a lot of fancy pizzas sitting out, just your basics. And btw, if you want a really good chicken parm sandwich… they’ll hook up your taste buds here. Not too saucy, chicken done just right, nice roll. If your in Piscataway, give them a shot… just beware of a busy lunchtime crowd during the week sometimes.

Best thing about Romano’s: it’s the pizza place in the neighborhood. Worst thing about it: it’s overpriced, in my opinion. And honestly, I’ve had much better pizza; theirs are a bit greasy and floppy. But on the other hand, it’s close, it’s convenient, and the pizza isn’t bad, just not great.
The hot subs are okay, too; I like the meatballs or Italian sausage with bell peppers. If you’re new to the neighborhood or work nearby and want someplace convenient, it’s fine, and if you’re having people over for movies and pizza, it’ll work for that too. But I wouldn’t make a special trip from far away.
There are a few booths to dine-​in, but most of its business is probably take-​out, unless it has a lunch rush; never been there at that time.
